In Frankenstein, Nature and science have brought a significant impact onto the characters. The progression of science combined with nature leads to a debacle. With this, there are various effects and roles shown through nature and science. Mary Shelley expresses her message about this. In her times, she was part of the transition from the Enlightenment to the Romanticist age and this led her to composing a story with nature and science competing against each other. From the struggles between the…

A murderer is someone who is narcissistic, often mentally ill and selfish. They have no compassion and don’t feel anything most of the time. That’s definitely the case for Larry Bittaker and Roy Norris also known as the “Toolbox Killers” as well as Ian Brady and Myra Hindley also known as the “Moors Murderers.” Lawrence “Larry” Bittaker was born in Pittsburgh, PA and was adopted as a baby. Because of his adopted fathers job, he was forced to move from place to place before they finally settled…

One of the fascinating times in European history occurs during the age of the Vikings, which were between the 8th century and the 10th century. There are several different articles that possess different ideas on how the Vikings acted.

Harthacnut, Cnut’s eldest son born to Emma of Normandy, his second wife, and the heir apparent to Cnut’s state, faced insurmountable odds to retain the lands over which his father held domain. Yet, the breakdown of the empire failed to undermine the legacy of Cnut’s accomplishments, and in proxy, the success of early High Medieval Scandinavian states.…

that were happening in the current time to influence his editing in Beowulf. That is why when you read Beowulf you see multiple meanings and it brings a sense of confusion. Personally, when I read Beowulf I saw some things that occurred during the Anglo Saxon time while others seemed to fall into a different time period. Damico believes that some aspects of the story fall into the sixth century and on the eleventh century. However, when these centuries merge together they describe the fall of…

The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle: Assessment of William I, is more about what kind of a man William was, intelligent and significant. The Bayeux Tapestry, on the other hand, shows a visual art of what actually happened and more of Norman’s point of view, how they prepared for the invasion. From all three sources we can understand that the military of Normandy was strong and William the Conqueror was portrayed as cold; however, at the same time, brave and intuitive man. In The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle:…

Howarth describes the year by referencing the “Bayeux tapestry, the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, The Carmen, Hastingae Proelio, Gesta Guillielmi, the Domesday, De Gestis Regum Anglorum Vita Wulfstani, and Historia Ecclesiastica” (Howarth, sources page). Howarth wrote this with as little bias as he could as he mentioned in his introduction and revealed to us the driving questions that prodded him to write this story. Anglo- Saxon England, according to Howarth, espeically before the Normans,…
