As the saying goes, “women: you can’t live with them; you can’t live without them.” In The Aeneid, composed by Virgil, the protagonist Aeneas comes into contact with a multitude of women who either facilitate or inhibit his mission of founding a new home for the Trojans to settle. Creusa is Aeneas’ first wife who is responsible for telling him about his destiny and offering him peace in times of loss; Dido is the Carthaginian Queen who is filled with love for Aeneas by Venus in an attempt to…

D-Day: The Landings of Normandy In this paper, I will be discussing the famous battle known as D-Day that took place during World War II (WWII).

years ago. That change is partly because parents, teachers and health care workers are realizing that much worse things can befall an adolescent. "Now parents worry about serious drugs, HIV or AIDS," says O'Reilly, not to mention gang violence. In Juno, for example, the parents heaved a huge sigh of relief when the big news their daughter had come to confess turned out to be pregnancy — they were terrified she had been expelled or was addicted to…

around them is quickly burning away. I think to myself who suffers more? Would it be John or the women who he slow dancing with? The same questions are being asked when I read the stories in Ovid’s Metamorphosis. In Ovid’s “Metamorphosis” Jove and Juno get into a disagreement about who receives more pleasure out of love.

In the Philomela story the marriage between Procne and Tereus is an unhappy one because it was never blessed by the wedding Gods; Juno, Hymenaeus, and the Graces do not attend the wedding. All of the marriages in “The Waste Land” are characterized by this same fruitlessness since God has not blessed them, because he does not exist. In “The Waste Land” Eliot next introduces…
