Thou

the hungry or clothe the naked or any of the acts that Martin accomplished. Tolstoy has a completely different view, “And turning to the woman, he said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thin house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: but she hath wetted my feet with her tears, and wiped them with her hair. Thou gavest me no kiss;…

Gloucester and Edgar, Lear stumbles upon a fundamental legal problem: law is subjective and only truly favors those in positions of power. In Act IV scene 6, Lear rebukes Gloucester’s hypocrisy, “Why dost thou lash that whore? Strip thy own back. / Thou hotly lusts to use her in that kind / For which thou whip’st her. The user hangs the cozener” (161-163). It’s unfair that the woman should suffer alone given that Gloucester also wanted to engage with her. Lear points out that everyone sins and…

goes to Friar Lawrence for help, and threatens to kill himself because he is distraught that he has been exiled. The Friar, who is the archetype sage mentor, uses pathos to try to console Romeo. Friar Lawrence tells Romeo, “Killing that love which thou hast vowed to cherish…Go get thee to thy love, as was decreed / Ascend her chamber, hence and comfort her” (Shakespeare 3.3.146-164). The Friar uses pathos by using Romeo’s love for Juliet to persuade him to compose himself, and go speak to her.…

Hermia couldn’t have helped falling in love with Lysander. He is as good as Demetrius, but her father sees otherwise. “ Thou, Thou, Lysander , thou hast given her rhymes, And interchanged love tokens with my child- with cunning hast thou filched my daughter's’ heart.” (I,i,28-29,36) Eugus sees Lysander as a fool for making drastic decisions for Hermia to fall in love with him. By Egus not accepting Hermia’s relationship she takes…

certainly does not control other forces. According to the poem, “Thou art slave to fate, chance, kings, and desperate men.” This quote shows that the reason why death cannot control anything. Did anyone hear slave control a thing? Since the Earth was born slaves never control or own anything. Since Death is described as a slave, he does not have the power to control anything. Back to line 3 and 4, “For those whom thou think 'st thou dost overthrow... Die…

the homeless by providing services like housing, feeding, providing clothing, and spreading the word of God to those in need. Like stated in Isaiah 58:7 “Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and…

The love Romeo and Juliet is known to be based on desires, which influences families and genders in a patriarchy society. Dymphna C. Callaghan essay on “The Ideology of Romantic” argues that the desires in romantic love are benign, and the feeling of love presents as evanescent. Furthermore, the desires in romantic love are based on social conditions and constraints. In this critical response essay, I plan to broach two subjects of desires that Callaghan conjures – the social mechanism through…

tries to say that they could marry later in life “And too soon marr’d are those so early made”. Another thing that could be blamed on the culture are the protagonists’ rushed decisions. “Holy Saint Francis, what a change is here! Is Rosaline, whom thou didst love so dear, so soon forsaken?”. I think that these decisions are because of Friar Laurence's advice and pressure of their parents. Finally, it could be said that their quickly accelerating relationship is because of the culture of Verona.…

conscience. Macbeth couldn’t deny what his wife wanted. Some could put the blame upon Lady Macbeth for badgering Macbeth about it so much, but if Macbeth didn’t let her get in his head then King Duncan wouldn’t have died. “Art thou afeard to be the same in thine own act and valor as thou art in desire” (1.7.39-41)? Lady Macbeth makes him seem like half a man by not doing what she wants him to do. Yet Macbeth tries to talk back to her but fails, “I dare do all that my become a man;…

The stories of Genesis and Popol Vuh attempt to explain the creation of Earth and mankind. Although these stories have many similarities, they do differ in many ways because of the different religions they come from. Right from the beginning there are obvious similarities between the two. They both references a God or multiple Gods who create the world and everything in it including humans. The Gods all save the creation of humans for last after creating landscapes, plants, and animals. They…
