The Faces of Love William Shakespeare’s “A Mid-Summer Night’s Dream” is, like many of his works, a play whose theme is centralized around love. In this particular play Shakespeare approaches love from several different angles or different types of love. There is a paternal love like that of Egeus and his daughter Hermia or even between Titania and the changeling child she cares so much for. The reader also experiences marital love as between Theseus and Hippolyta as well as the love of Oberon…

James Joyce’s stories are based in Dublin, Ireland and depict the troublesome and dark lives the Dubliners lived. His stories are based in the times where Dublin was under English/Roman Catholic rule and under their control, their duty was to serve the church under every circumstance. Joyce describes this as if they were paralysed by their supermacy in which he calls it “hemiplegia of the will”. His stories strongly depict the entrapment they felt and how they lived in an oppressive environment…

The article, "Escape Route," by Avi Steinberg is a librarian's take on a social institution. By social institution I'm referring to a structure given a particular purpose by society (Killgore, 2017). The author describes his experience staffing the Suffolk County House of Corrections library. He tells the reader about positive and negative effects of inmates spending time in the library, the debate on a library being accessible, and his personal experiences with the inmates. Steinberg finishes…

In the drama Hamlet (1601), William Shakespeare uses the protagonist character Hamlet to illustrate the internal conflicts we all face as humans. Many times throughout the drama, we can see Hamlet struggling within himself—self-doubt, misogyny, depression. All of these conflicts define Hamlet’s actions. In the Hamlet Tragedy, everything is a matter of man versus mind. Hamlet battling his conscience attempting to figure out what he feels is best. Hamlet obviously struggles throughout the play…

Drawing inspiration from Kotler and Lee (2009), I desire the social marketing tool for notifying the public of concerns affecting the marginalized and children with disabilities. In reality, the public need awareness of marginalized children’s limitation and collaborate to improve their situation. Recalling back to Maria’s incidence, Maria’s mother successful rescued her daughter from the ritual after attending the circumcision sensation which opened and transformed her minds. Similar to Kotler…

The Golden Age was a period of great flowering in Spanish Art. It is likely that the Golden Age has begun in the mid-fourteenth century and ended around the sixteenth century with the end of the Habsburg Dynasty (Williams 158). The picaresque, romantic and mystical literature is one of the genres of this period, which obtained a place in the universal stage, after contributing to the art of literature that is known today. However, when the Spanish art was booming, politics and economy was in…

The film begins where Attorney Jan Schlichtmann is in court representing his client, a young Anglo-Saxon male who became disabled and is in a wheelchair. The scene then introduces Schlichtmann in a radio show. A woman calls the radio and gets…

“To be or not to be”, modern society still struggles with the everlasting debate of William Shakespeare’s intent in how he portrays his female characters. Was the greatest playwright a sexist? Many of his works such as Taming of the Shrew and Romeo and Juliet were excruciated by the audience due to its diminishing content towards women. Thus, by addressing Part 1: Language in Cultural Context of the play, A Midsummer Night's Dream, the audience realizes that it’s no different. Once again,…
