Aragorn comes from a line of men destined and fated to bring life back into Gondor, (844) as Faramir lies in shrouded…

In the chapter “Lordship and Bondage”, Hegel uses a biblical reference to explain the action of self-consciousness as relations between master and servant. Hegel’s theory of self-consciousness rests on the notion that only in recognizing the awareness of the other to one’s own otherness can self-consciousness be achieved.

The fall is a tool used in his writing used in a theological sense to understand the Primary World through his sub-creations. In this essay, I shall discuss how the fall is portrayed in Tolkien’s work by surveying the falls of Melkor, Saruman, Boromir and Gollum. The first character that falls in the history and chronology…

While Henry IV Part I (Henry IV) may seem only a quintessential medieval tale of revelry and victory in battle, as we delve deeper into Shakespeare’s representation of the motivations and actions of its characters we begin to appreciate the latent political messages at play. The story of Henry IV Part I is fundamentally driven by a quest for legitimacy and an examination of what is required of a political leader.
