In his work Phaedo, Plato, through the voice of Socrates, voices his opinions on the immortality of the soul. Throughout the novel, Socrates asserts that he does not fear death, but welcomes it. Because Socrates is a philosopher, he has spent his life embracing the idea that the soul can only obtain pure knowledge upon being separated from the body. Socrates thus welcomes death because his soul will be from the body and surrounded by pure knowledge. In his Argument from Recollection, Socrates…

the fire blasts that end earth, then further torments forevermore). This is a joking type of style with weeping and gnashing of teeth in several ways in view of all the other types of illusion torments one gets in hell besides crying in their evil spirits and the basic idea of pain (once in hell after the earth style is over, their pain levels will be more than one thousand times worse than the worst pain levels of earth) with illusions and other styles so, mostly, saying the weeping and the…

Hamlet is the dramatic play of a son who tries to make the death of his father right.

The ghost in act one scene one of Hamlet represents many different things. The first appearance of the ghost (1.1.47) shows that there is something ominous looming over the state of Denmark. The ghost appears and is silent. He simply stands there and watches Marcellus, Barnardo, and Horatio. Barnardo says “Looks he not like the King?” (1.1.50). By the ghost taking on the image of the deceased King Hamlet, the ghost is enlarging the shadow left over Denmark by the king’s untimely and unexpected…

The past is seen to haunt our everyday life. In theatre especially, ghosts serve to embody haunting memories and burdens of the characters. In craftful plays such as Hamlet by Shakespeare and A Streetcar Named Desire by Tennessee Williams, ghosts symbolize an impediment on the development of the protagonists and the permanent presence of our history. Theatrical presentations on the oppressive effect of the past on the present, these plays portray two tragic heroes and their descent into their…

Kid Cudi, the Man on the Moon, or even Mr. Rager are a few of the nicknames artist Scott Mescudi is known by.

He raises the point that the soul is material and capable of sensation, and these sensations build out thoughts; however, this assumption tends to categorize human thoughts and limit originality and creativity. In the text, Epicurus explains that the soul is a structure that is material and primarily used for sensation; these sensations become…

In King Lear, written in 1606, Shakespeare’s stylistic devices convey not only a feeling of bitter despondency and disheartened despair, but also a feeling of desolate hopelessness and tormented delusion to reveal the misery and turmoil that results from betrayal brought on by severed holy chords. The use of diction evokes a feeling of fury as the brutality of the words echo the physical and emotional suffering induced by both literal and metaphorical maelstroms. Provoked by the “contentious…
