In almost every story since the beginning of human history, storytellers used certain tried and true characterization methods essential to any story: archetypes. Carl Jung first identified these universal archetypes and tropes prevalent in almost every story since The Odyssey. Jung believed that these archetypes existed in the psyches of human beings, which explains why people recognize archetypes so easily when hearing/reading a work of literature. However, as time went on, people noticed these…

intelligence and capability. On the other hand, if a character is evil then it will indicate manipulative cunning and shrewdness. In the play Richard III, Richard is the main character who was portrayed as a villain. Richard, who was the Duke of Gloucester, had a way with words. Richard could make anyone do anything. He could make anyone do anything since he was an excellent actor and he was very persuasive and skillful with words. Richard is an example of using his skill with words for…

William Shakespeare's tragedy King Lear explores a powerful king’s self-mutilating behavior. The heart of the play questions whether it is possible for one to fundamentally change. King Lear was written in the early 1600’s, after King James I rose to the English throne. This was a period of time in which the monarchy was of central importance and under constant scrutiny. Shakespeare thus often dwelt on the nature of the monarchy. His plays therefore can not only be read as historical narratives…

The Great Chain of Being plays an important role in the play because it reflects the belief of people in which an object had its “place” in the world in hierarchy. This relates to Edmund’s situation because in families, the father, in this case, Gloucester, is on the top tier. During this time period, the older and legitimate siblings were on the higher rungs of the hierarchal ladder, so Edmund was the lowest…

holds a spider, or some loathsome insect over the fire, abhors you, and is dreadfully provoked.” He is also remembered as a very important theologian. Another very important figure of the Great Awakening was George Whitefield. George was born in Gloucester, England on December 16, 1714. He was the youngest out of 7 children. His father was a wine merchant and innkeeper, but he died when George was 2 years old. He thought education wouldn’t work, so he asked his mother if he could drop out of…

A mixture of mud, blood, and dust coated our bodies; to my left and right, cannonballs flew at us.Though we knew not how or when we were going to succeed, we just knew that we had to succeed. Every hardship I had gone through had led to this moment, every hardship I went through had made me become this person. I am Lafayette, and if socialising, sailing the terrifying sea, and living in Valley Forge couldn't shake me, then no British army would. From the time I was a young boy, my grandmother…

The main points of the study were to examine the two different locations (Good Harbor beach and Gloucester harbor) and discover differences, possible impacts, and to examine the waters to see what lies beyond the shore and to investigate the water quality. GH is a harbor with a depth of greater than 5 meters. GHB is a beach with a depth of less than…

Regan’s excessive manipulation of masculine strength and defiance of traditional female role gradually transforms herself into an abhorrent woman, as she utterly resembles a metaphorical imagery of monstrosity and gender role’s misappropriation. Shakespeare intriguingly connects the relationship between Goneril and Regan as sisters, who both acquire the ambition to detest King Lear and achieve greater power and to perpetuate the uprising power of masculinity in women. Regan is equally…

Lear to “See better” (1.1.180). Again, Kent is implying that Lear is blind in his judgment which perfectly carries on into his gradual journey into insanity: he becomes mentally blind and unable to tell the difference between reality and fantasy. Gloucester undergoes a similar path, and is unable to to accurately judge his sons, and eventually does not even recognize the disguised Edgar. This journey of figurative blindness, however, is, one can say, expectedly turned into literal blindness when…

The British had two redoubts that needed to be captured; these were the targets of the American and French guns. While the bombardment continued, the American and French Armies continued to dig parallel lines that would become closer and closer to the British lines. On October 10th, realizing the dire situation he was in, Cornwallis began to sink more than a dozen of his ships in the harbor to prevent their capture. He also received word from New York City that the British fleet would depart…
