The Man in the High Castle

Like many of the works of literature that have been published so far, Shakespeare’s plays and poems have references to real-life monarchs, events in his life, works of art, or to classical and Greek mythologies. One example is The Third Part of Henry the Sixth, a history play that depicts the horrors left by the Wars of the Roses and the moral chaos in which England succumbed after the conflict. In Act 3, Scene 3, the character of Gloucester mentions the powers of a mermaid and basilisk, which…

Many readers regard William Shakespeare’s Hamlet as his greatest work, if not the world’s greatest play written in the English language. However, some famous critics such as T.S. Eliot see Hamlet in a different light — they see Hamlet as nothing more than an “artistic failure” full of inconsistencies. For example, why exactly is Hamlet not crowned king when he is already of age? Is it because he is away at Wittenberg? Despite this fault, these myriads of analyses only highlight the fact that…

But they themselves- in their depravity- design grief greater than the griefs that fate assigns .” This one line from Homer’s Odyssey summarizes the epic poem in a whole. The story of Odysseus’ s journey home after war is one of the most well-known poems in history.
