.... novels and celebrated essays: present is the issue of man’s ‘ongoing obsession’ with self-transcendence which was so pertinent in the excellent, infamous ‘Doors of perception’; the dilemma that recurs throughout his fiction, that of the cloistered and suppressed mind dealing with passionate human emotion, is here in extremis. On a functional level, ‘The Devils of Loudun’ seeks to oppose humankind’s tendency towards hypocrisy, malice and self denial, and expose some of the terrible results of those failings specific to the case: mutual temporary madness (or near madness) for .....

.... use to describe the war. That is probably the reason that the certain phrase was used. By saying that war is kind, it made the reader think, really think, about why would Crane use that phrase about the war. The reader then would figure out that the war wasn't kind, and think of reasons why it wasn't kind. That wouldn't have happened if Crane had stated that the war is not kind in the first place. By using a phrase that isn't usually one that describes the war, it involves a deeper level of thinking then just reading it and regestring it into the mind. The poem holds a lot of contrast within itself. Each contrast that is used .....

.... to fight for Denmark. The people accepted him as a deserving warrior and permitted him to do what ever he needed to rid them of Grendel. Beowulf wanted to fool Grendel into thinking that he was sleeping so that Grendel would try to kill him, but instead Beowulf would terminate him. That night Grendel did come and fell right into Beowulf's trap. Beowulf had Grendel in his hands, but no matter how strong Beowulf was the demon escaped missing only an arm. Grendel would soon die in his lair because of blood loss, but Beowulf was unhappy that he could not stretch Grendel's body on the floor. However, he still hung Grendel's .....

.... obvious that Golding uses the early chapters in the book to set the scene for the chaos and terror of the beast that follows. Soon it became evident that even the older boys had begun to wonder whether in fact some kind of beast did inhabit the island. It was also apparent that nobody was willing to admit this, but the fact that many boys now cried out in their sleep or had terrible nightmares is further proof that they were all fearful of a beast. The first signs of evil emerging from within appeared when Jack and his hunters killed a pig and re-enacted the killing. In the process people were injured and the chanting, which was .....

.... lost souls of the past. And they would pass down from street to street, grasping for any living entity that dared to be out after dark. After their time in the light of day that was no longer theirs. Parents would bar and shutter the windows against the curious faces of their children, who wished to gaze out at the spectral parade that pasted by their houses. Come away from there, they would command, fearing even a glimpse from the ethereal visitors would portend dreadful consequences. The darkness was not for their eyes. So the night would pass with terror and resignation. Night after night, the pattern would remain unchanged .....

.... Finally, his father was an alcoholic who abused him, therefore he was loyal to his mother. All of these aspects define the character of Tennessee Williams. Ernest Hemingway was a man who believes that he differs greatly from Tennessee Williams, but comes to realize that they share a common battle. Ernest Hemingway was depicted as a man who enjoys being a traditional man - - drinking beer and relaxing as a male on this earth. On the other hand Tennessee Williams is a very straight-laced and smooth-talking individual who is not fond of beer. In contrast to Tennessee William's mother, Ernest's mother was a mean and cruel woman .....

.... taxi-man, she appears significantly defensive in her response concerning the cost of the cab ride. Eliza feels humiliated by the taxi-man’s sarcastic response to her.

(p. 36) Higgins treats her like this for months until the audience meets her again in London society. Eliza’s first test is at a luncheon given by Mrs. Higgins. Eliza, who is well dressed, makes a remarka .....

.... breaks Aristotle’s mold. Her play “Blood Relations” sits on the edge of what Aristotle would call tragedy. Aristotle states that the form of tragedy is an “imitation of a noble and complete action, having the proper magnitude”(Aristotle 6). Here we have Lizzie Borden murdering her own parents in a fit of rage. The murders happen after years of abuse and negative attitudes from almost everyone she knows. The act of murdering one’s parents is far from noble. It could however, be seen as noble seeing as the reason Lizzie kills them is to stand up for her freedom of thought and direction in life. According to the .....

.... still marching into Germany and there was still a casualty list that added new names each day. America faced other problems. Workers began to form Unions in order to gain more wages and benefits. One of the most notable strikes was the one by the Boston Police Department. The Police force went on strike and Boston went virtually unprotected. The criminals saw their opportunity and began to riot and loot. The National Guard had to be called in to regain order. It took several weeks for any semblance of order to return. Consequently the police who were striking were fired and eventually replaced. Another problem for America was a ru .....

.... art noble; yet I see thy honorable mettle may be wrought from that it is disposed; therefore it is meet tat noble minds keep ever with their likes; for who so from that cannot be seduced?” Brutus makes two very grave mistakes because of his high principles, he lets Antony live and worse yet he lets him speak at the funeral of Caesar.

But even though Brutus joined the conspirators he felt so much remorse for what he had done that he had dreams of Caesar’s ghost coming to him. In the end he falls on his sword, which goes against most of his .....
