Doom

acclaimed as dangerous. The man tells Magnus is the son of Norse god. So the Viking myths are true. The Gods of Asgard are preparing for the war as trolls, giant and monster are stirring for the doomsday. The only way to prevent Ragnarok (the Day of Doom), Magnus and his friends must find the Nine World weapon that has been missing for thousand years. I enjoyed the past pace, the humour and the suspense that built in the story, as well as the new characters by Rick Riordan. I read this book in…

J.R.R Tolkien represents the motif of the fall in a variety of ways in his writing. He does the fall as an allegory, as he is opposed to making moral or political arguments. The fall is a tool used in his writing used in a theological sense to understand the Primary World through his sub-creations. In this essay, I shall discuss how the fall is portrayed in Tolkien’s work by surveying the falls of Melkor, Saruman, Boromir and Gollum. The first character that falls in the history and chronology…

and rich with ruin—clawing up to the heights, headlong pride crashes down the abyss—sheer doom!” (963-967). The chorus, aware of Oedipus’ excessive pride and arrogance, practically predicts Oedipus’ downfall. By saying “headlong pride crashes down the abyss”, the Chorus claims that pride will disintegrate Oedipus’ life with full force, crashing down upon him with such an impact as to cause him a great doom. The chorus accurately compares and connects Oedipus’ hubris with his downfall. Yet…

I found this section not only interesting, but despairing. One part I found intriguing was Juliet d’Orsey’s constant blaming of herself as being an unpleasant child. “Really! . . . Wasn’t I an awful child!” (Findley 154). She was not a bad child at all. Actually, the contrary; she was normal. Every child has disobeyed and done things they should not of. It is normal and, usually, for some people, it is the only way they learn. They need to experience things in their harshest to understand. They…

myself’” (O’Connor 386). Flannery O’Connor’s short story “A Good Man is Hard to Find” is a story of hypocrisy and irony. O’Connor’s tale of twisted morals and fleeting grasps at old standards takes a family from an innocent trip to Florida to an impending doom laid out before them by the narrator in the first paragraph. The fill of the story is one based on a grandmother’s traditional ways and the conflicting norms of their modern day society. A dying woman’s last attempt at life initially seems…

As Stephen Evans describes in his “Study Guide for Hamlet”, Shakespeare’s most studied play is an example of revenge tragedy. Furthermore, Shakespeare reworked previous dramatic sources and materials to produce an intricate tragedy that progresses to articulate considerably to the worldwide human condition (Evans, 2). Therefore, while Hamlet continues to focus on the human condition, the topic of Hamlet’s “madness” will be discussed. Thus, Hamlet feigns his madness throughout the play which…

palace from the suitors. Odysseus returns to the palace disguised as a beggar, and successfully draws an arrow that the suitors could not. The weak vagabond’s drawing of an arrow illustrates how the arrogant suitors are dethroned by even the least, and doom certainly falls on the suitors, as foretold by the prophecy. However, Odysseus’s disguise is so good that even his own wife cannot recognize him. Penelope recognizes Odysseus only after she exclaims that she would move Odysseus’s bed, causing…

name when he had an affair on his wife with his servant Abigail Adams. In the town of Salem adultery is seen as a crime against God and the Bible which ruins the names of both partners male and female. “I have made a bell of my honor! I have rung the doom of my good name--you will believe me, Mr. Danforth! My wife is…

Richard Wright’s novel, Native Son, depicts the life of the general black community during the 1930’s. Throughout the novel, Wright illustrates the ways in which white supremacy forces blacks into a much too pressured and dangerous state of mind. Blacks are beset with the hardship of economic oppression and forced to act subserviently before their oppressors. Given such conditions, it becomes inevitable that blacks such as Bigger Thomas, the protagonist of the novel, will react with violence and…
