    The Res Gestae Divi Augustus Analysis

    The Res Gestae Divi Augusti, which in English means ‘The Achievements of the Deified Augustus,’ was written by the first Roman emperor Augustus as a biographical account of his life just before his death in 14 CE. Because the document was written in first person, it lent Augustus the ability to portray himself and his rule precisely the way he wished it to be remembered. The original text was displayed on two bronze tablets set in front of the mausoleum of Augustus in Rome, though multiple other copies of the funerary inscription have been found in cities across the Empire. Both the public exhibition of the Res Gestae, and its deliberate manipulation of Republican rhetoric would have appealed to the hearts and minds of the Roman people when…

    Elizabeth Bennet Pride And Prejudice Feminist Analysis

    In her book "Pride and Prejudice", Jane Austen illustrates the female protagonist, Elizabeth Bennet as a strong advocate of feminism and female independence. She manages to do so by drawing a stark contrast between Elizabeth and the other female characters, Charlotte, Jane and Caroline. Each of these women conforms to the socially imposed gender conventions of Regency England, while Elizabeth artfully challenges gender discrimination. Contrary to her female foils, she remains steadfast to her feminist intent, persistently refusing to concede to the highly mainstream views of the society that women should elevate their chances of marriage with a man of good fortune. This, along with her determination to alter the societal bounds that…
