Apathy

Through the works of Dante Alighieri, he provided insight as to how he interprets the seven deadly sins; a Christian concept. His use of the contrapasso throughout the Divine Comedy allows us to explore other meanings and causes to the sins. The sin; sloth, has an ironic punishment in Dante’s inferno and purgatorio, with an underlying reasoning of misguided love. While exploring other sources and authors interpretations of “sloth”, I have found that the explanation has changed and has been…

would be less concerned about how they communicated with each other. Even though the majority of Russia was supposedly apathetic towards counter revolutionary ideas, the government still monitored its citizens to maintain the systemic feelings of apathy.

Renowned late 20th century Australian poets Geoff Goodfellow and Bruce Dawe both discuss unemployment in their respective poems ‘Don’t Call me Lad Dad’ and ‘Doctor to Patient’. Although, both poets are peers of similar background, each presents unemployment in a different light. In order to create and enhance their differing messages, Goodfellow and Dawe both use…

other three men in the bunkhouse, do not disapprove of Carlson’s desire to rid of the mutt, and Candy reluctantly agrees. In the extract, Steinbeck characterizes Candy as mentally and physically weak and passive through adverbs and diction conveying apathy describing Candy’s behaviour, the symbolization of Candy’s dog and Slim’s horse, and subtext implying Candy’s inability to stand up for himself. Steinbeck clearly illustrates Candy’s unassertiveness through…

returned 10 minutes later and raped and stabbed her. In the aftermath of her murder, a neighbour admitted to the police that he “didn’t want to get involved.” Genovese’s murder is one of the most famous examples of the bystander effect due to the apathy displayed by the reported 38 bystanders. The facts surrounding the case have been vague, with some pointing out that there were less than half a dozen…

conversation after seven” (3.2). This reveals that Lord Goring is not easily controlled other characters, arousing the audience’s curiosity. Hence, through the foil character of Lord Caversham as a conservative Englishman, Wilde compares Lord Goring’s apathy towards social dictums as insinuated from Aestheticism to Lord Caversham, heavily influenced by Victorian English customs, as he disregards his father’s paternal…
