civilly and morals in the brutality of war, the Achaeans are stripped of their humanity as the Trojan War progresses. Using Homer’s similes, this paper will examine the Achaean’s loss of humanity by their animalistic inclinations, indifference to pleas of mercy, and destructive presence on the battlefield — all ideas that conflict with the civilized mannerisms exuded by the Trojans. Throughout the Iliad, Homer compares the Achaeans’ desire for bloodshed as an animalistic urge. In Book 5,…

For all the agony he bestowed on to others, he finally accepts his punjsiment of damnation to hell. This is very similar to when the creature in his plea, similar to his appeal to Victor, accepts his fate to eternal suffering for his actions. Recognizing contently his faith, he utters “I am content to suffer alone”(Shelly 425). Homologous to Victor’s admittance, the monster comes to terms with his retribution…

The poem shifts in the last stanza to a grief stricken plea to his father to not let go of his bright, valuable life so quickly. It is evident that the speaker’s father is close to death on “that sad height,” as he urges his father to “rage, rage against the dying of the light” (Thomas 15-18). The…

Chinese. You must be proud you are different.” (Tan 1). It is a parent’s desire for their children to be happy with the understanding they will embrace their culture and accept it is okay to be different. In Robert Lake’s essay “An Indian Father’s Plea,” Lake discusses how “he (Wind Wolf) is caught between two worlds, torn by two distinct cultural systems.” (Lake 1).
