Bridle

Stanza ten uses diction of literally musical words to recall the musical nature of the Lady. For example while Sir Lancelot rides, his “bridle bells [ring] merrily” and “his blazon’d baldric [sings]” (III. 85, 87). This musical description, along with other fairytale-prince descriptions of Sir Lancelot, serves as an almost-alibi for the Lady’s breaking of her curse to follow him later in…

Elves instill an encompassing fear on humans. Whether it be giving an explicit fear through practices of control and nightmare or an implicit fear through practices of gift giving and non-threatening power demonstration, elves produce multiple degrees of fear into the inferior, unfortunate humans. Elves use multiple methods to make themselves feared explicitly. Some methods found in folktales include: task requests (cf. The Godmother, Elfin Woman in Childbirth), physical control (cf. Hild Queen…

Introduction Athena was a tall, strong, graceful, gray-eyed, goddess who liked owls. From the beginning, she was already an amazing goddess. In fact, even her birth was most unusual. Zeus, the father of gods and goddesses, was also Athena’s father. Her mother was a mortal woman named Metis. Older gods had warned Zeus that he would be in trouble if Metis gave birth to a daughter.

Most people take for granted many things we are afforded in this day and age. One of those things we take for granted is the government. Without said government there would be no laws to provide order and security, and we would be in a state of nature that would result in a state of war. A state of nature, regardless of who is detailing its differences, is basically a life without government rule leaving people to act out of self-preservation. A place without government is a place of chaos with…

Chapter Twelve Frantic Flight to Yellow Rock Jacob charged across the crest, his feet beating divots into the dirt. We chased him, bolting down the far side of the rock face toward the creek, the four of us slipping on crumbling stones until we hit level ground and could climb onto our horses. I was sure Seth’s horse would barrel straight up the ridge, but she veered sharply to the left and galloped off in the opposite direction. Bane had jumped into his truck and was giving chase through the…

Mengzi and Zhuangzi are both ancient Chinese philosophers. Although they lived in a similar time, their views can be radically different. Mengzi was highly influenced by Confucius, and as a result, his work is highly important in Confucian tradition. We don’t know much about Zhuangzi’s life, in comparison, and although Zhuangzi and Mengzi are practically contemporaries, there is no historical proof of them communicating. Mengzi is most well-known for his theory on human nature, but Zhuangzi has…

Coming into one’s hometown once or twice a year, the traditional circus puts on a ‘spectacular show’ using wild animals…
