When Prophecy Fails

binary opposition and conflicting gendering of its two female ‘heroines’ and their subsequent inversion of societal norms, for example - is to confine the text and its characters unnecessarily. It is a disservice to limit Aeschylus’ sprawling text - to fail to see the unambiguous connection between justice and feminism, or to ignore the blaring gender issues within The Oresteia, is to allow the text’s reception and its lasting relevance to begin and end in antiquity. A multifaceted analytical…

of the play and the beginning of the main conflict. The conflict began very mellow as the three witches foretold Macbeth and Banquo’s futures within Scene Three; Macbeth will become king and his loyal partner Banquo’s kin will be of royalty. This prophecy given by the witches caused Macbeth to get his hopes up to become king as he sent a letter to his insane wife, Lady Macbeth. Once she read the letter, Lady Macbeth’s extreme ambition sparked, and she got the idea of helping her husband into…

Requirements Along with juvenile probation comes juvenile probation requirements. In 2009, 59 percent of juveniles were deemed delinquent by a court of law, and out of that, 60 percent were sanctioned with a probationary sentence (NeMoyer et al., 2014). When placed on probation, juveniles face a plethora of stringent obligations, which includes, but not limited to, probation officer check-ins, adherence to curfews, therapy sessions, making amends to any victims of the offense, volunteer…

Compare how Homer and Zemeckis highlight the ways in which key characters survive through the challenges of their life. Entertaining survival genre texts like playwright Homer’s Greek mock-epic mythological poem, the Odyssey and director Robert Zemeckis’s American epic film, Cast Away portray the support mechanisms that even Herculean individuals rely on in every society. Noting that Homer starts the Odyssey in media res after his previous poem, the Iliad while Zemeckis starts from the…

Odysseus, “’the Son of Pain,’” unquestionably earns his name in full (19.464). He frequently brings pain onto himself and others, like when he tells Polyphemus his name is Nobody. He stays true to his real name, Odysseus, in this moment by using his characteristic cunning; afterwards, as he leaves the island of the cyclopes, he yells out his true name, “’Odysseus, raider of cities,’” and ultimately brings as much misfortune onto himself as he did to Polyphemus, thus remaining as the man that…

When a witch is mentioned the first thoughts that come to mind is a woman with a long pointed nose usually wearing black clothing.

differences. Students also need to realize how important the role of bystanders can be and how much difference one bystander turning into a witness can do. “The cycle of violence can be interrupted… when even one person has the moral strength and courage to speak up and stand out” (Coloroso 71). Most kids fail to see that their action can lead to victim retaliation and suicides so if students are educated on bullying and the seriousness of bullying it can help prevent…

strategy should emphasize on public campaign to normalization of Sunni, Shia, and Kurdish relations within the borders of Iraq. We also need to develop and implement a regional communication campaign targeting our allies, and other regional players. If we fail to convince Egypt, Kuwait, UAE, Jorden, and other regional players, ISIS will continue grow because of their regional power. The member of jihadist movement represents themselves as on the side of all that is holy and just, and they…

Brave New World is one of the most well-known dystopian fiction novels, perhaps falling short only of Orwell’s Animal Farm and 1984. Its nature, however, differs greatly from that of Orwell’s works. Unlike those dystopian novels which focus on a society in which culture is suppressed and society is lead by a strong man, Brave New World envisages a society in which people have actively forgone the creative elements of culture in the name of efficiency. Since the book was published, there is a…
