Seven Summits

The seven deadly sins, also known as the cardinal sins or capital vices, are a list of the worst sins that cut one from god’s grace. To every sin there is a holy virtue that has tested every known person to roam this world since the early Catholic Churches were built. Pope Gregory I‘s list included: Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Sloth, Wrath, Envy, and Pride. This list and its order were then adopted into the Roman Catholic tradition and have been used to this day. One still witnesses these seven sins…

“I restore myself when I'm alone,” said Marilyn Monroe a week before she killed herself. Monroe was found dead on August 5, 1962. She either committed suicide, overdosed on pills, or was murdered in her home in Brentwood, California. The investigators are not sure who was involved, but some seem to think that either it involved her maid, John F. Kennedy, or the doctors who brought her body back from the hospital multiple times. Marilyn Monroe’s death raised a lot of awareness throughout the…

The Bible says, “For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God”, therefore there is no one character in ‘The Scarlet Letter’ who is without fault or should be excluded from some type of judgement. On this note this paper will be a general documentation of the sins of the Puritan people of the town, and a brief summation of the sins of the main characters. To put the sins implicated in this book in ascending order this paper will start with explaining the sins of the young Pearl, go…

Revenge and Retribution are key themes in Shakespeare’s Hamlet, and the outcomes of these themes are heavily influenced by Dante Alighieri’s Dante’s Inferno, an epic poem telling about the seven sins by which all humans are judged by in the afterlife. Throughout the play, the murder of family members spurs three groups to act. These groups, being those seeking revenge, those incapable of thinking for themselves, and those that ignore the need to correct immoral actions such as murder, eventually…

Having studied how the deadly sins find their reflection in the Grimm’s fairy tales, and having found the moral of the story for the various fairy tales, we may briefly summarize our findings. In Little Snow White, the queen who focuses too much on physical appearances and comparing herself to others results to wrath in order to achieve her desire and hence shows the danger of pride and envy. In The Fisherman and his wife, greed reveals it’s self in the fisherman’s wife who cannot stop wanting…

The last similarity between these two Bibles is they both talk about sin. Both of these faith believe in sin and have a list to share with their followers. Catholics call theirs the Seven Deadly sins and Satanism call theirs the Nine Satanic Sins. They are pretty straight forward. Both faiths believe if you follow these actions there will be consequence ; that is why they are sins. They are trying to help you not live your life through these transgression actions. The catholic sins a lot of…

The theme we created for Death and the Miser is, greed comes with a price. The reason I chose this theme because, the miser keeps taking money and the more he take the more it will come back to haunt him . So the more money the miser takes the greater the temptation is to take more. Which is not good because if he take the money he goes to hell but,still has a chance to go to heaven. The two genes I chose was video games, and cartoon television show character. The reason I chose these two…

Chaucer compliments the Friar’s skill at begging as a form of critiquing the church’s greed, yet he mocks the Clerk’s material poverty to emphasize that the knowledge the Clerk seeks is of more value than money; these characters’ monetary states are meant to show the reader the misplaced values society has by showing a corrupt man with money and a honorable man without it. The Friar is “a worthy licensed beggar” who focuses on spending time with the rich who will give him money, rather than the…

The Most Immoral Pardoner The Pardoner is the most immoral character of the clergy in the Canterbury Tales prologue by Geoffrey Chaucer. The Pardoner breaks many vows put in place by the clergy for all clergy members to follow. The vow of poverty for instance he breaks by having lots of money from pardons, “His wallet lay before him on his lap, brimful of pardons come from rome” (Chaucer 706-707). He has a load of money in his wallet, not a way to live in a poverty if you think about it. He…

When God created us as sexual beings, he wanted people to use their sexual desires to draw them closer to their spouse. However, when people fuel their sexual desires outside of marriage, the results can be harmful and serve many consequences. One example of a way people fuel their sexual desires is through masturbation, or using yourself for sexual pleasure. Many people think that masturbaing quenches a sexual “fire.” Instead, it does the opposite. It fuels the fire. Masturbating is an…
