An Elizabethan understanding of mental health is quite unlike our conception of mental illness in the modern era. To the Elizabethan, the most accepted theory of madness was based on the Greek conception of the ‘humours’. The Greeks eliminated supernatural understandings of madness by a secular understanding based on the imbalances of bodily humours- sanguine humour(associated with air) was responsible for optimism and irresponsibility, choleric humour was responsible for short temper and…

Although it did cause many of the African Americans to join in the fight against segregation, it also evoked white Americans into destroying their dreams for no apparent reason. Their views on racism were extremely different due to the fact that Lincoln was white and only witnessed it while Martin Luther King Jr., being black, experienced the horrific effects of racism. During Lincoln's speech, he proclaimed that…

not, we must first decipher his reasons for involvement in the law. The title ‘founder’ suggests that Henry II had a personal, academic interest to revolutionise justice in England. However, when analysing the context of Henry’s reign it becomes apparent that whilst he almost certainly did have an academic interest in the law, his descions to reform…

five other women, and for three long weeks let her die in public view” (pg. 31-32). Baldini, too, suffered after having met and used Grenouille. “with no apparent reason, the west side of the Pont au Change […] collapsed. […] At one blow, the entire inheritance was gone” (pg. 116) ruining even Chénier’s future, as he could no longer be named heir in Baldini’s will, dooming his chances of ever becoming the owner of the perfume factory. Lastly, the girls; the beautiful, red-haired girls, not yet…

dying, he was not angry or scared. A person that does not know their true identity would be very regretful/angry to not be able to do so but this was not the case for Hamlet. Instead, Hamlet guided his unstable friend from suicide and even prepared an heir for his fallen kingdom. There is no doubt that Hamlet truly discovered who he is as a person. Hamlet’s character made such drastic changes for this discovery but in doing this…

Because there were two emperors “When one died there was uncertainty which might have led to civil war” so Diocletian declared that each emperor would have to choose a man to be his Caesar or heir. These Caesars would take over for an emperor when they died and had authority in the empire as well. In the west the Augustus was Maximian and Diocletian in the east. Maximian chose Constantius as his Caesar and Diocletian chose Galerius as his. This…

Kehaunani Yamanoha The Hawaiian Kingdom was established in 1795 by King Kamehameha I and proudly prevailed throughout the world for nearly a century. Due to the location and agriculture of the Hawaiian Kingdom, the United States government was keen to gain Hawai’i as a state to control due to their economic and militaristic advantage. They accomplished this by breaking international law and punishing native Hawaiian people for continuing to practice their own culture. Before being discovered…

To spend years cultivating a theory on the artistic significance of a “[mere] bugaboo used by the censorship to persecute and destroy ‘genuine art’ and its creators,” is a risky endeavour begging for criticism, but Boris Groys makes landmark progress at linking up the threads between the modern and postmodern from a Soviet perspective in The Total Art of Stalinism: Avant-Garde, Aesthetic Dictatorship, and Beyond. Sharply critiquing the Clement Greenbergs of the world who dismiss Socialist…

creates a commentary on the stereotypical views of women and the unjust patriarchal society that controls them. The patriarchy’s effect on the novel is seen primarily through the act of entailment. Ownership of Mr. Bennet’s estate is exclusive to male heirs, so all five of his daughters and his wife must achieve financial stability…

and Mill agree that women do not have any less mental capacities than men, and that they should have the opportunity to put forth effort and intelligence in the pursuit of a career. However, Mill’s acknowledgement of the separate spheres model is apparent when he states that it makes the most sense in regards to the division of labor. However, this does not mean he believes women should not pursue careers outside; in fact, it is just the opposite. Mill focuses heavily on women’s right to be…
