But during the key sequence the ‘Liquidation of the Krakow Ghetto’ he undergoes a pivotal change as he watches the events unfold with a birds-eye-view. The sequence opens with close-up shots of Amon Goeth and Oskar…

At first glance, Oskar's disloyalty to his wife Emilie and the fact that he has a wife, a mistress, and a girlfriend might seem like a relatively unimportant part of Schindler's List. Schindler’s disloyalty is very easily interpreted as a background context for the book, and for the purpose of giving Oskar personality traits. Disloyalty is obviously a bad characteristic, but it’s possible we could empathise with Schindler now, because he is a flawed person, which is realistic and gives him a…

This type of academic achievement not only made Lolita proud of herself, but it also helped her identify who she wanted to be. Lolita’s search for identity can be linked to Erik Erikson’s identity formation concept.…

Constantine worked to promote religious tolerance by legalizing Christianity, and eventually becoming a Christian himself. It was eventually deemed the official religion of the Roman Empire. Even though he tried to keep the empire together, that did not stop the eastern and western halves from becoming more and more distant from each other.

and his ministry to the Goths and I also will be discussing Paul and his many missionary endeavors to people around the Mediterranean Sea.
