    Charles Dickens portrays Madame Defarge, Sydney Carton, and Charles Darney as morally ambiguous characters. Dickens’ background as a muckraker dissected into it to reveal the hidden story boiling underneath human nature. Muckrakers are incredibly objective, as was Dickens’ writing style.

    In the story “Desiree’s baby” by Kate Chopin, Desiree has heard the life altering news that her and her baby are biracial. Desiree then proceeds to kill both of them in a swamp. I believe this was the wrong call on desiree's part. Although some might argue it was good of her to end their lives, I don’t believe this because it ended the life of the baby, and because she could of had a decent life with the Valmonde. My first claim is that it is just inhumane to kill an infant.…

    Aristotle’s view of a tragic hero is not very different from today’s tragic protagonist. The themes are still similar in that there is always a fatal flaw of the hero. Elizabeth Keen is a tragic hero in the show, Blacklist, because of her past, job that revolves around Raymond Reddington, and for her always forgiving Reddington. If either of those elements were different, she would most likely not be a tragic hero.

    Mary Anne Warren- Infanticide In history, with the exception of people not wanting children of Spartans and others along with certain genders, infanticide has almost always been looked down upon. The rights of a human are always greater than that of an animal, even though they might be “potential persons”. Relating to that, I argue in this essay that Mary Anne Warren does not defend her 2nd infanticide argument (“merely potential persons do not have a moral right to become actual-or none that is strong enough to override the fundamental moral rights of actual persons”) adequately through her reply, I will do so by analyzing potential persons, infants, and persons to argue against infanticide. Warren’s reply to why infanticide is allowed is…

    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…
