Judith Sargent Murray

Jael and Sisera and Judith Beheading Holofernes, the women appear in dominant positions over the men. However, the two women are presented very differently in the works. Both illustrate very similar Old Testament stories which involve some moral ambiguity surrounding the actions of the heroines. They offer commentary on the dubious nature of the murders in differing manners through their representations of the women, violence, bloodshed, and their settings. The engraving of Judith presents a…

Michelangelo da Caravaggio’s painting Judith Beheading Holofernes examines goodness and purity in spite of engaging in the act of sinning. Painted in c.1598, using oil on canvas, this painting illustrates a scene from the biblical Book of Judith. It depicts three subjects in what appears to be a bed chamber. The middle subject, Judith is portrayed in the act of beheading the Assyrian commander, Holofernes while her maid looks on (fig. I). In this painting, Judith retains her status of purity and…

Since the advent of civilization, society has tended to experiment with codes that regulate human morality in conformance with established norms and expectations (Halperin, 1990). Of particular interests to societal institutions is sexuality, which for the better part of the centuries leading to the 20th century has been governed by codes drawn from religion and civil laws (Foucault, 1979). Society has continuously normalized heterosexism as the appropriate form of sexuality that should be…

told stories from the Bible. “A Portrait of a Lady of the Saxon Court as Judith With the Head of Holofernes”, tells the story of Judith going into the tent of Holofernes and seducing him while he drinks and eventually decapitates him after he falls asleep. During the Renaissance period the depiction of women was a very sexualized and were meant to be paintings that suggested seduction and lust. However, the painting of Judith is the opposite and…

adds that in Book of Judith God is “using sexuality to vanquish the pagan and save the chosen people.” Stocker posits that Judith, as a sensual woman and eventual murderess, violates many moral standards of Judaism (Stocker 3-4). This suggests that Judith should, by all rights, be rejected by her own community; indeed, many texts, including the Torah and most Protestant Bibles, exclude the Book of Judith from their canons. I believe that the Bethulians’ acceptance of Judith in spite of her…

men, Dr. James Murray and Dr. William C. Minor. These men were very similar in nature, but led very different lives due to circumstances of environment and mental health. Dr. Murray was a lifelong academic, always pursuing education. Dr. Minor was a surgeon for the Union Army in the United States Civil War, who grew increasingly madder until he murdered a man in the streets of London, which caused him to be confined in an asylum for almost the rest of his life. Although Dr. Murray and Dr.…

Freedom and liberty had many different meanings in American Revolution. During the war, freedom and liberty were desired by everyone but in various ways. The patriots, the loyalists, and the slaves all had different views on freedom. Freedom meant having no changes or going back to the days where there was no rebellion to loyalists like Mr. Lockton. Mr. Lockton defines freedom as having wealth and property while having the King rule the colonies without a rebellion. Patriots might define…

themselves or save themselves from this major downfall in our society. This is such an important topic that should be discussed by many, but is not. It seems that there are very few who are genuinely concerned when compared. In an article written by Judith Resnik entitled; Arbitration, Transparency, and Privatization: Diffusing Disputes: The Public in the Private of Arbitration, the Private of Courts, and the Erasure of Rights, she addresses the court’s stance on all of this and makes it clear…
