Misery

In the first line of the poem, “Farewell, thou child of my right hand, and joy,” Jonson is saying good bye to a child. The notion that the child is “of my right hand” suggests that the child stems from Jonson’s own flesh. Since the right hand is typically described as the dominant (and more beneficial) hand, Jonson utilizes this symbol to describe a significant and positive aspect of his life.

prima facie evidence against the Deity as described”(Churchland 1986, p.379). “Why is there so much misery?”Hume asked(Churchland 1986, p.379). According to Hume, there is an explanation for the existence of misery and suffering; God knows people are suffering but prefers not to help. Disasters, pains, and sufferings are common phenomena all over the world. We cannot ignore the truth that miseries happen everyday and everywhere, Hume continued. Looking closely at the world…

Greene portrays the transmutation of Sarah’s earthly love into something greater with a grace that is all the more impressive for being realistic. She is not an instant saint. Her feelings swing from misery to peace and back to misery, with much bitterness and hatred of God. She berates herself for making a vow under the influence of hysteria, and she tries again and again to convince herself that her vow is not binding. She realizes that Christianity affirms the importance of the body she…

so used term mercy killing, means to take deliberate action of intention of ending a life to relieve suffering (Nordqvist, 2015). You can’t feel the pain and unpleasantness of that pain.

example, the author states, “Even brutes do not devour their young nor savages make war upon their families…” (2). In this case, Paine refers to America as the young and England as the brutes. He indicates that America’s “parent” country only brought misery upon them, and that Britain only cares about itself as a strong and wealthy nation. In addition, the writer emphasizes the fact that America would have not been part of the Seven Years War if it were not for their ties with Britain. For…

sure how healthy my pups are. Given my fitness, and their care I can’t imagine they’re in top form. Sadly to my captors this is not important. I’m a puppy mill dog, and all that matters to the breeders here is the profit they get from our litters. Misery is all we know. We exist without hope, for we realize we are replaceable in our imprisoner’s eyes. Sadly, not enough people care or are aware of our plight… We are in need of a miracle! The kind that can only come from you! I was born here in…

husband. However, Madeline and Porphyro died "ages long ago," which asserts that the two did not have eternal happiness, rather, they faced reality head on. The poem illustrates the circle of life where death, misery, and love are present in every aspect. Keats uses dreams to show that one cannot escape pain and expect to find pleasure. Madeline could not escape her life to live immortally; her happiness would not last forever. Madeline would either live through her dream for the rest of her…

one will suffer throughout their lifespan, he is emphasizing the necessity and beneficially from suicide. Though this diction, Shakespeare is convincing his readers that life is just a “sea of troubles” (5) and suicide is just a way to avoid this misery.

my first victim… I gazed on my victim, and my heart swelled with exultation and hellish triumph; clapping my hands, I exclaimed, ‘I too can create desolation; my enemy is not invulnerable; this death will carry despair to him, and a thousand other miseries shall torment and destroy him (Shelley…
