This motion surprised and befuddled the Greek Gods, and had them viewing a plan on a sleuth method of manipulation of the body of Hektor.

Achilleus first migration in his journey to retrial his rituals came when Achilleus regained respect for the slain body of Hektor.

Number of words: 1017 | Number of pages: 4.... and Emilia is shown to be quite close, as the following quote from the play shows, Desdemona is willing to share a part of her past with Emilia; a song that one of her mothers maids (Barbary) sang to her mother, and then her mother sang to her,
“The poor soul sat sighing by a sycamore tree,
Sing all on a green willow.
Her hand on her bosom, her head on her knees,

Othello 9
Number of words: 1385 | Number of pages: 6.... only because he is black, but also because his whole person is very mysterious. He is mysterious in that he believes there is magic brewing everywhere. With this dark side he is also very outgoing, and not very bright. It is almost too easy for Iago to trick him into believing that Desdemona is unfaithful. Though he doesn't reflect too much on his past, it is apparent that he has been very successful in many battles and earned the rank of general. The fact that he is supposed to be a experienced soldier and leader contradicts his actions of letting his jealous emotions destroy his life.
For all the dangers and encounters he .....

Because he thought that Ms. Havisham was his benefactress, Pip anticipated that Estella was meant for him. "I was painting brilliant pictures of her plans for me. She had adopted Estella, and had as good as adopted me, and it could not fail to be her in .....

Why Do We Read Shakespeare
Number of words: 671 | Number of pages: 3.... plays. Despite what the situation in Kosovo is or which team is winning in the Stanley Cup finals, there will always be these
ideas in the world.
Anyone can relate to the ideas in Shakespeare’s plays, that is what makes them so great. No matter how advanced the world becomes or no matter what kind of wars we fight, these feelings will always be there. Love is in everyday life, if not intimate than parental. Hate, such as the war going on right now, is in everyday life. People have always be entertained by these ideas and feelings, but at the same time they become closer to each other and more open minded and educated.

Number of words: 840 | Number of pages: 4.... begins tearing the island
apart when he becomes extremely selfish. "I'm not going to play any
longer...not with you" (Golding 127) is what he said to the group, right
before he broke away and formed his own clan, where he was the unchecked
ruler, and could perform any task he pleased. One of Jack's other
intolerable acts was the tying up and torturing of Wilfred, another boy on
the island.

didn't say what for" was the other boys' answers for why Jack tied up
Wilfred. "He's going to beat Wilfred" was all they knew, next to the fact
that "He's been tied for ho .....

The Tragedy Of Hamlet
Number of words: 964 | Number of pages: 4.... He had many good traits such as bravery, but his one bad trait made him evil. Also a tragic hero doesn't have to die. While in all Shakespearean tragedies, the hero dies, in others he may live but suffer "Moral Destruction". In Oedipus Rex, the proud yet morally blind king plucks out his eyes, and has to spend his remaining days as a wandering, sightless beggar, guided at every painful step by his daughter, Antigone. A misconception about tragedies is that nothing good comes out of them, but it is actually the opposite. In Romeo and Juliet, although both die, they end the feud between the Capulets and the Montegues. Also, Rome .....

The Cask Of The Amontillado - Revenge
Number of words: 447 | Number of pages: 2.... Fortunato in an effort to support his time-honored family motto: "Nemo me impune lacessit" or "No one assails me with impunity." (No one can attack me without being punished.) Poe does not intend for the reader to sympathize with Montresor because Fortunato has wronged him, but rather to judge him. Telling the story from Montresor's point of view, intensifies the effect of moral shock and horror. Once again, the reader is invited to delve into the inner workings of a sinister mind. This part of the story is very disturbing and emotionally unstable. Fortunato undergoes a change from laughter and thinking a practical joke .....
