Lucifer

1st Month It’s not as bad as it was made out to be. I had been evacuated out of my house, and into a ghetto. I have never been closer to my community than I have now. We are in immediate vicinity of each other and we are able to socialize and operate normally for a community from a certain aspects. The guards aren’t being heinous, and they seem to take our best interest in mind. I mean sure, they may have taken away our liberties such as taking away my gold, but it’s all orders given to them.…

In the book, Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, Victor Frankenstein is a mad scientist who gathers human corpses’ body parts which he acquired from charnel houses and graveyards. He composes a creature so hideous that he himself refrains from being anywhere near him. Everyone is frightened of the creature and the creature realizes that it is because of his appearance. He reminisces how even Frankenstein – his creator, his God – ran away from him. The creature feels rejected and promises to exact…

That was it. Officially. The worst Christmas ever. He has been okay with not being able to go home for the holidays. He had been okay with being alone at Christmas in a city he didn't know anybody. He had been okay with not having a fancy dinner, no people he loved, and no presents. He had been okay with it till now. Now he just wanted to get drunk and cry. It was the 24th of December, Christmas. He had forgotten to buy for food for the holidays so he had gone through the city looking for a…

Bibliocentrism in “The Crucible’s” 1690s Salem Sarthak Bajpai Arthur Miller’s award winning play, “The Crucible”, takes place in Salem, Massachusetts, a deeply theocratic and agrarian society during the plays early 1690’s setting. Leading into and after the events of its infamous witch trials, Salem’s bibliocentric nature is shown to constantly influence and drive the motives of its residents. Whereas the book was written to illustrate the effects of a “culture of fear” and “mass hysteria” on…

her account of the final days of the apocalypse. In her 1985 essay "Hildegard of Bingen: Visions and Validation," Barbara Newman commented: "[In the Scivias], Hildegard ranged over the themes of divine majesty, the Trinity, creation, the fall of Lucifer and of Adam, the stages of salvation history, the Church and its sacraments, the Last Judgment and the world to come. She lingered long over he subjects of priesthood, the Eucharist, and marriage … and she returned time and again to two of her…

John Proctor is a type of character that everyone can relate to. He has a dangerous background that haunts his life and he can’t share it because he will condemn himself to pretty much death. He committed one of the Ten Commandment with a woman who was of an age that now would be considered a federal offense. Her name Abigail and in the story she was seventeen. In the Puritan community the first person you have sex with is supposed to be the person you marry. Abigail was a woman with a shady…

His associates back then were George, Jeff, and Igor. This George’s full name is George Lucifer Henry Cornwall, not Henry George. Each of Dan’s friends has a doctorate in some type of math or physics, so he called them up and told them about the calculations. Four years later, in 2023, they’d all quit their jobs and were three months out from…

Without an ideology of morals, anarchy would arise. There would be no order, no control, no boundary, and no sense of wrong or right. Every day, humanity overtly battles towards maintaining a balance between good and evil. Even so, depriving a once judicious person of morals leads to corollary acts of betrayal, greed, and eventually, guilt. Similarly, the lugubrious loss of morals reflects itself in The Tragedy of Macbeth by the playwright, William Shakespeare. In the novel, Macbeth and Lady…

On August 20th, 2015, Patrick Nabarro, a celebrated review writer, published his ranking of all Shakespeare plays on his personal website. Among all Shakespeare plays, Macbeth is one of the top three, which Nabarro described as: A thick, pungent, uncanny atmosphere hovers over this profoundly wise and timeless essay on the wilful corruption of a man’s soul. The beauty of the play is how it conjures ‘evil’ out of roots so unlikely, so banal (but therein lies the genius), as phantasmic predictions…

holding her together. “You think Sam would make it to heaven? That boy is tainted beyond repair, a soul so wrecked and scared that even hell hounds wouldn’t want it. He’s be lucky to end up in purgatory with the other monsters, if not back down with Lucifer. Honestly, it was better for everyone when he was locked down in the cage. He’d cause less trouble that way,” Casitel shrugged. Nana wasn’t sure what came over her in that moment, but she strode across the room and smacked him hard across…
