The short story is filled with devious and cunning characters who rely on deception to accomplish their goals. It follows Machiavelli’s The Prince, concept of being the fox and the lion. Both Devasmita and the nun in The Red Lotus of Chastity attempt to succeed in being both animals. Although Machiavelli states in The Prince that he must possess both traits of the fox and the lion, only Devasmita…

Examining Tennyson’s Lotus Eaters the first thing that clearly stands apart is the two distinct narratives taking place within the text. There’s the stand alone narration of the tale of Odysseus and his men but in the Choric Song we are exposed to a direct account of the men’s experiences and personal emotions that derive from their exposure to the island. The first half of the narration’s structure appears on Tennyson’s part to be more concrete. It follows a rhyme scheme as well as the rules of…

Furthermore, the cultural importance of the text can be seen in literature such as Royal Tyler’s Japanese Tales.

really and that is what we call false memories. This is something Elizabeth Lotus had studied about. She begins her debriefing by starting with a story of Steve Titus who was arrested back in 1980 because he had slightly matched a physical description, and drove a similar car, to a man who had raped a woman in the area. The police officer who had pulled him over had taken a picture of Titus and put it in a photo lineup experiment, they later showed it to the victim, which the police had informed…

Both the Lotus Sutra and the Zen teachings of Master Lin-Chi are texts that define what it means to practice Buddhism. One would think two books over one doctrine would be very similar in their prescriptions, but this is not the case. The Lotus Sutra is presented as a discourse delivered by the Buddha towards the end of his life, featuring many sutras on processes to gain enlightenment. The Zen teachings feature Master Lin Chi and were writing in 810 to 866 AD, during the Tang Dynasty and focus…
