    Jealousy comes when one's focus is taken off God and put upon the world. Hebrews 13:4 states “but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.” God's Word also states in I Corinthians 3:17 “if any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy.” The purity of mankind should be maintained, therefore the jealous husband was to bring her before the priest who would carry out all the law. Devils love the destruction of relations between a man and his wife.…

    The second principle of faith that Maimonides points to is the “truth of prophecy.” The second purpose of the “test” was to teach the prophets to believe in his or her own prophecies and to show no doubt in them. To explain this it is necessary to know that, according to Maimonides, God’s command came to Abraham in a dream or a vision, or in other words, a prophecy. As it is known that Abraham didn’t question this and didn’t doubt the truth of the prophecy, it is meant to be an example to other prophets. A prophet is supposed to see his or her own prophecy as true just as much as anyone would see true anything that they physically saw, felt, or heard with their physical senses.…

    Having to read about how a young childish boy falls in love with his best friends older sister really makes you think about how you were once this boys age, and once had that young love. Reading about Gabriel and his non returning love from his wife makes you hope that you never have to go through something like that yourself. James Joyce does a phenomenal job at explaining how the realization of both the boy and the older man don’t get the love they feel they deserve/ want. The ages of both protagonists might be different, but the overall feeling of losing someone or something is the same.…

    In Shakespeare’s Othello, we have the characters Othello and Iago who seem so similar but yet so different. They both come from poor backgrounds, but are very ambitious and strive for better lives. As Camille Wells argue, Iago like Othello “values independence from constraints, and like Othello, he assumes that service rather than birth, rank, or faction should be rewarded and that a position of responsibility in the state constitutes reward” (Slights 380). Despite their similarities they are very different at the same time; Othello the great, the man who puts justice first, and Iago the selfish, jealous being who cares for no one but himself.…

    The readings I’m going to use to compare values are Antigone, Aeneid, and Beowulf. Each of these stories have very strong leading characters, which whom poses values, such as, duty, courage, and compassion. Each story has someone who represents a hero; Antigone, Aeneid, and Beowulf are all considered hero’s in their own respective stories. Antigone is considered to be the most well rounded story when it comes to containing all four values discussed at the beginning of this paper. Antigone has roles as a sibling and a leader.…

    It is the popular opinion of many that Iago is Shakespeare’s evilest creation, with S.T Coleridge going as far as to describe him as a ‘motiveless malignity’, while Don John is perceived as Shakespeare’s most humane, if not passive villain. Whereas Iago is characterised as a villain of concealment, Don John is one of disclosure, and this stark contrast may suggest contrasting ideologies between these villains. The idea of motive that Coleridge presents is not in the sense that we know, as he argues that motive is merely rationalisations for a characters true nature; it must be deduced if Iago is an amoral malignity, or rather has a concealed aim in his plans. Comparatively, Don John is perceived to be immoral, as he does present clear motives,…

    Shakespeare’s villains, Iago and the Macbeths, share murderous thoughts and actions, while manipulating others, however they carry out their final plans differently. Despite both being villainous characters created by the same writer, they are very different people in the stories, but carry some of the same characteristics from each other, as well as having the same jobs in the separate stories. One of the things that the Macbeths and Iago have in common is their murderous thoughts about the people that either hurt them or got in the way of something they wanted. For the Macbeths, the plot to kill Duncan was the way they expressed this. “We fail!…
