Bloodlust!

Is it appropriate to begin a review of John Krasinski's outstanding A Quiet Place by quoting American Idol winner Carrie Underwood's #1 hit single, "Jesus Take The Wheel"? Who cares, I'm doing it anyway: "Jesus, take the wheel/Take this from my hands/'Cause I can't do it on..my...own." Watching this masterful, breathtaking, 90-minute nightmare that Krasinski has created, a horror film we will be praising for a long, long time to come, I may have found a new religion. Clearly some hieroglyphics…

war that he instigated, he prefers to stay at his room and make love with Helen, which made them despise him. On the other hand, Hector can be considered as the Achilles version of the Trojans. He is the mightiest among the Trojan warriors but his bloodlust is not that same as that of Achilles who hungers only for glory and fame. The next character who is Pandarus is almost similar to Paris in role. Since Pandarus is the one who tried to kill Menelaus by trying to hit him with an arrow, he…

It compels the reader to imagine the situation those subject to racism must face. It forces readers to view the soldiers in the “War of extermination” in all their bloodlust and hate. It forces disgust upon the readers. Grant used such language in conjunction with emotive language, to paint a picture. This appeals to an audience’s sense of sorrow, of empathy, and of disgust. A listener or reader is able to feel empathy…

While reading the works of Homer, paying close attention the Books I, VI, XVI, XVIII, XXII, and XXIV of The Iliad and as well as Medea by Euripides. A lot of the characters from both books are real people from Greek Mythology. In The Iliad, Homer describes the characters in great details, with stories that entwined with their lives. Achilles, a mighty warrior in the Achaean Army, who has superhuman strength and a close relationship with the Gods, Hector, a son of a king, who is the mightiest…

“parley or make peace with any Dane / nor stop his death-dealing nor pay the death-price” (155-156). His attacks didn’t cease “for twelve winters, seasons of woe,” and by that time, it has become doubtful that his motives are anything more than bloodlust and mindless rage (147). If, in the beginning, Grendel killed for revenge to make up for being cast out from the moment he was born, that motive has long since been lost after twelve winters of murder have passed. He had mercy on no one; “all…

carnage. But he did not approve; he was a man who would kill without question, neither children nor women spared, yet, unnecessariness was something he did not indulge in. The darkness is a powerful catalyst, but those that lose themselves to the bloodlust, the carnage, they were not true practitioners of the dark side, but simple thugs. She wasn’t a Sith, nor a Knight. But she was Force sensitive, and he knew she reveled in the desolation and ruination of those in her path. He was the…

In Macbeth, Shakespeare uses his minor characters as tools to further develop the plot and conflict of the play. The word “minor” should not in any way determine the importance of any character. It is best to look at how that character motivates or interacts with the major characters; be it in a positive or negative way. Though the three murderers, Hecate, and Ross appear for a brief moment, change the course of the story, and then disappear from our sight and minds, they need the recognition…

that can be amusing and some that is just plain sickening. In the Book, I found Irony in the situation of prisoners becoming guards, how whites were expected in prison to do what southern society saw a slave work; and the irony of just when human bloodlust was considered perfectly okay, and when that line was considered crossed, or barbaric.…

The tens of thousands of people who were persecuted for being witches during the witch hunts showed the world how fear and the right motive can cause people to turn on their own neighbors. After the Malleus Maleficarum and the catholic church’s persecution of heretics witch hunts began to grow more prevalent even spreading to the americas. Usually targeting women who were single, were in a low economic class, and unable to properly fight the accusations they became a easy target to condemn to…

Perhaps the hatred would have persisted between Jack and Ralph, but had they not believed there was a beast on the mountain than Simon would not have had to go look and end up in the situation where he was killed. If Simon had not been killed, Jack’s bloodlust would have remained only for killing pigs rather than humans, as it was not until after they killed Simon that they became so…
