We have talked about various civilizations over the past few weeks and each of them have their own amount of philosophy, literature, music, and art. I don’t know that I could honestly pick one civilization that has contributed to the world more than the others. I feel as if Greece, Rome, Egypt, and every other civilization had an enormous impact on different things that we now use today. They have each showed us unique styles of art including the Roman Coliseum, and the great pyramids of Egypt.…

in one of the very first lines in the poem, “For in their doth Nature stir them so, / Then people long on pilgrimage to go.” (Chaucer lines 11-12) Even though a majority of the characters in Chaucer’s poem are in connection with at least one of the seven deadly sins, some characters are far worse. In The Canterbury Tales, sin is much more prominent than virtue because characters from each estate, such as The Wife of Bath, Serjeant of the Law, and the Monk, have noticeably more faith-based…

the only theme as the seven deadly sins can be attributed to each character either in an embodiment or in a disembodiment. Wicked acts are portrayed as an evil discourse through the novel, with little good involved. The character most betrayed through the course of the novel is, Anna Eldred. Her first betrayal was from a former employee of hers, Enock. After firing him for theft from the compound, he showed up with a friend to enact his revenge. Enock displays one of the seven deadly sins,…

Proverbs 28:6 entreats with these words, “Better is a poor man who walks in his integrity than a rich man who is crooked in his ways (ESV).” A Song to Lady Poverty is an ode that speaks to the virtues of those who have chosen to live a life devoid of “worldly” pleasures as written by St. Francis of Assisi. I will talk briefly in this paper about it. As I consider today’s church (non-Catholic), and the vow that was taken by saints such as Francis of Assisi, I think they would be extremely…

. Looking at the short story “Story of the Hour” from a Marxist point of view, the social structure plays an enormous role. In this story Mrs. Mallard should be grieving not only because she thought her husband was dead, but also since he was the provider of her household. Without him, how was she going to make ends meet and function as if he were still alive? But on the contrary, Mrs. Mallard felt free from the social structure of her being just a wife, who life was her family and husband. She…

All throughout history, writers have been using allegories to convey their message without truly stating what it is. An Allegory is a literal work with two levels of meaning, the literal and symbolic. In the story of “The Inferno” by Dante Alighieri, an allegory can be seen in The Dark Wood of Error, the three beasts, and through Dante’s guide Virgil. In the Inferno, an allegory can be found in the Dark Wood of Error. Dante says “ How I came to it I cannot rightly say, so drugged and loose…

Pardoner’s Tale-Literary Response The love of money is said to be the root of all evil. People will do unimaginable things for money. They will ruin other people’s lives as well as their own just to pocket cash. In Bill Taylor’s article “Understanding Money and the Meaning of Life,” it is explained how people handle their money with greed versus how they should handle their money, the right way. People get caught up with having so much money that they end up losing everything that is dearest to…

The One Deadly Poem If you were told a sin is not a bad thing, would you commit it? Author Peter Pereira wrote the poem Reconsidering the Seven in which he manipulates each of the Seven Deadly Sins: Pride, Lust, Envy, Greed, Gluttony, Sloth, and Wrath. The author compares sins with every day actions that almost anyone can relate with. In using these comparisons, the sins seem unalarming, almost as if they do not matter. The author’s life is reflected in each line of the poem; the doubt and…
