.... his decision to marry Jocasta. Had he never married, he could have avoided his misery, "And how can I help dreading my mother's bed?"(35). But where would the story be then? "Declared that I should one day marry my own mother and with my own hands shed my father's blood"(36), as a so-called prophecy and decree carved in granite by Apollo himself. Throughout the story, there were circumstances that led you to believe that there was no possible way that Oedipus could have killed his father and married his mother such as, "What, did Polybus not beget me?"(36). It was thought a fact that Oedipus' real and true father was Pol .....

.... contrast between Marjorie's delicate appearance and her vicious nature was described in similes. Marjorie, braiding her hair, "looked like a delicate painting of some Saxon princess." Her braids "moving under the supple fingers like restive snakes" suggest her treachery. Fitzgerald also uses foreshadowing when Marjorie called Bernice's bluff about wanting to leave. Later Marjorie called her bluff about bobbing her hair. As Bernice's hair was being cut, "there was a curious narrowing of her eyes" that foreshadowed her expression when she got the idea to bob Marjorie's hair. "Suddenly she drew in her breath sharply and an expre .....

.... is passed on her prematurely. I'll admit there was evidence against Justine, and we have the advantage of knowing that she didn't do it. Justine was not exactly a pillar of the community, so some reasonable evidence and the fact that human behavior tends to view people that are in the lower-class as being guilty of something, was all that was needed. The ideology of a being a monster is different the n looking hideous and revolting. The characters of the Doctor and the monster act exactly opposite then would be expected of them. The label placed on how they are supposed to act ends up on the opposite side of the sc .....

.... (Alpha, Beta, Delta, Epsilon), carded into the main card index and stored. It is here that they are "sexed". Thirty percent of the female embryos are allowed to develop normally (to maintain the supply of initial ova). The rest of the female embryos are given a large dose of male hormone that renders them structurally female in all ways, but sterile. It is also here that their caste designation determines how much oxygen they will receive in their bottle. "The lower the caste, the shorter the oxygen." The lower caste Epsilons are oxygen deprived because for the labours they are destined to perform, they will not need human .....

.... smote her soul, and for a second of time appalled and enfeebled her senses." (Chopin, 30) For the first time she comes face to face with death. Those are the events described by the book. The movie, on the other hand, only shows Edna swimming out, struggling a little, and returning to shore. In addition, the movie doesn’t mention the strength and joy Edna feels after this experience. She states that she "never was so exhausted in [her] life. But it isn’t unpleasant…it is like a night in a dream." (Chopin, 31) At the end of this story, Edna kills herself by swimming out into the ocean. The movie shows just that, om .....

.... modern ideas and the key structural features of modernity. Harvey's basic approach to postmodernism is sound. Rather than rejecting postmodern developments as superficial and merely transitory, he believes they represent a new paradigm of thought and cultural practice that requires serious attention. At the same time, he avoids exaggerating the novelty of postmodern developments and sees both continuities and discontinuies with modern practices. Postmodernism represents not a complete rupture from modernism, but a new "cultural dominant" where elements that could be found in modernism appear in postmodernism with added emphasis a .....

.... he showed no sign of prudence and logic as he slayed king Duncan, and hired assassins to murder his friend Banquo. Macbeth displayed his temerity in act IV scene 1 saying, "from this moment The very firstlings of my heart shall be the firstlings of my hand. And even now, to crown my thoughts with acts, be it thought and done;" Macbeth was no longer the logical, thinking man whom many admired. He had become reckless, acting with only his passion and not his mind. The tragedy of the murders he brought on fair Scotland was a direct result of this violation of the criterion of a good man. The most apparent flaw, and pe .....

.... that they received. Horses were such a simple and necessary part of everyday life in Victorian England. However, horses produced a lot of waste, which was difficult to get rid of. It was estimated that 3 million tons of waste was produced annually. Although it was useful agriculturally, it sold for very little and could only be transported within local areas. In order to deal with this problem, many areas of waste land "were turned into vast dung heaps" (p164). Also, in order to remove the waste from the streets, night crews had to work long hours shoveling the waste and transporting it out of the urban areas. These cre .....

.... not all right: (I.iii.293-4) "Look to her, Moor, if thou hast eyes to see:/She has deceived her father and may thee." By disobeying her faher Desdemona has shown herself able to betray the person she is supposed to love and--according to Venetian norms--obey. The phrase "look to her" suggests several things: that Desdemona needs to be watched closely, in other words; she cannot be trusted, or that should notice what a deceiver looks like and lastly, if looks at her he may find that she is not as fair as he thought--the opposite of fair being black. Desdemona has actively sought to alienate herself from the other Venetians b .....

.... see the incoherence of their own though. He demonstrates this by commenting on the absurdity of war and God: Those sedentary and slothful barbarians, who, From their palaces, give orders for murdering A million of men and then solemnly thank God for Their success (RABKIN, 67). At the root of his social criticism is a program of reformation. Voltaire’s greatest tool in Micromegas is his ability to use alienation to make the seriousness of his argument felt without removing the sarcastic undertones of his satire. The use of alienation allows his points to be fully expressed without offending the reader. For instance, Voltaire .....
