The Lamb

A young lamb hiding in the shadow of a lion, a predator in the game of war, and prey in the game of love, wages a new battle in foreign territory. William Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing is a play in which its characters are defined by their respective reputations. On one hand, are Leonato and Don Pedro: the leaders of two politically powerful families, whose desires are of the utmost priority for those surrounding them. On the flipside, characters like Don Jon and Dogberry are not given…

“The grass is greener on the other side” expresses that people will never be satisfied with what they have, but instead always see what others own in envy, convinced that their stuff is better. I don’t usually care about what other people have, so I do not feel jealousy often. I do not know anyone who feels this way, but I don’t know, they might, and just don’t tell me. I do not think that I can simply talk myself out of love, for love is an ancient instinct to find a mate, and one does not have…

When I hear the word stew I am struck by nostalgia as I am reminded of my grandmother’s apple stew, a sweet delicacy on which I grew up. A stew is a simple dish that involves slow cooking of meats and vegetables in liquid in a closed pan. This method of cooking has been known to man from the day he discovered fire and learned the basics of cooking .The very first written record of stew being cooked is found in The Old Testament. In Genesis, Esau, with Jacob, his brother trades their father's…

Moses told to the Hebrews to paint the blood of the lamb on the doorframe. By the blood of the lamb, the angel of death would just pass the house at night. This is the beginning of Passover.

As god is the father, the son and the holy spirit it is natural to understand the beginning of creation, through the rise and fall of humanity, the intent of wisdom through the lamb of god (Jesus), a sacrifice for humanity’s sins and the redemption to a righteous path. All that is told and molded through the readings and teachings of God encompass the true nature of living a moral, empathetic and fruitful life. “Let the peace…

In “The Second Coming,” what does Yeats mean when he writes “The falcon cannot hear the falconer” (line 2)? How does this relate to “the centre cannot hold” (line 3)? In “The Second Coming” there is a footnote at the end of the first line explaining what Yeats envisioned for the word gyre. It mentions that it was meant to represent the age of Christians and how it was spiraling downwards to an end. With this in mind, the second line that reads, “The falcon cannot hear the falconer” it paints a…

apparitions were leading people to point the finger and accuse certain persons of witchcraft. "Here are but two parties in the world: The Lamb and his followers, and the dragon and his followers.... Here are no neuters. Everyone is on one side or the other." "Devils and idolators will make war with the Lamb and his followers. But who shall have the victory? Why, the lamb (I.e., Christ) and his followers." 1 One of Samuel Parris sermons given on September 11, 1691 the first one he had written…

Christian imagery and allegory are remarkably prevalent in many soviet films. This is reflective of the Russian Orthodox Church’s ineradicable position in Russian culture as well as the applicability – the universal nature - of the biblical story. Paradoxically, this phenomenon directly contradicts the idealized atheism of the soviet state. In this paper I will explore the different ways four of the thirteen films we have watched this semester incorporate Christianity. The most obvious…

“black, perfidious creature,” (pg.86) allied with Lucifer himself. This contrasts to the diction used when describing Pamela as an: “angel of light” (pg.30) and “poor innocent lamb” (pg.214). Lambs are seen are the symbol of innocence and purity. Although, biblical allusion is evident too since Christ is often referred to as the lamb. Mr.B’s devilish comparison is highlighted when he disguises himself as the maid sleeping with Pamela. The devil is said to be a shapeshifter, just like how Mr.B…
