.... by his initial comment that "About suffering, they were never wrong, the old masters," then investigates how the Old Masters show that they were never wrong. The Old Masters don't exactly have to represent people but I believe Auden is referring to the chorus of Oedipus. The chorus knows all about suffering and they know it shouldn't be. This poem is also written poorly because people don't deserve a well written poem. People don't notice the problems because people don't care. They don't get the point to the story about The Fall of Icarus because they don't care. Last a whole generation died in WWII because people don't care. In the painting The F .....

.... (Winston 313). Thin blood was considered healthy, and it was thought that poison made blood thick. Lady Macbeth wants to poison her own soul, so that she can kill without remorse. Just before Macbeth kills King Duncan he stares at the dagger that his mind imagines. He stares at the dagger and sees thick drops of blood appear at the hilt and blade. Then Macbeth says to the dagger “I see thee still, /And on thy blade and dudgeon gouts of blood, / Which was not so before” (320). However, Macbeth didn’t lose it all yet and he says, "There's no such thing. / It is the bloody business which informs / Thus to mine eyes” (320). .....

.... attack Troy and retrieve Helen. Most important about the chorus’s speech is their mention of sacrificing his daughter, Iphigenia, in order to be able to wage war on Troy. They tell how she was sacrificed despite her cries, all for a wind that would take them to war. Clytemnestra then tells the chorus about the defeat of Troy and returning from his ten years away at war. After a few hours finally returns to his city. Along with him he brings Cassandra, a princess of Troy and captive to . She is known to be a prophetess who tells of tragedies. gives Cassandra to Clytemnestra as a slave.

.... is trying to illustrate is how Western civilization has conditioned society to have materialistic aspirations and how these ideals corrupt the black man's identity and his family. Many black men have to deal with a systematic racism that effects their role in society. The frustrations that a black man has to deal with can affect the family a great deal. For example, if Walter gets upset at work or has a bad day, he can't get irate with his boss and risk loosing his job; instead he takes it out on his wife Ruth. Also, the job that he holds can only provide so much to the family. He's not even capable of providing his son Travis with some pocket chan .....

.... them. But as our society becomes more civilized, these savage acts are now looked upon with disdain and contempt. What used to be considered as corporal punishment is now considered as physical abuse. It should be thought of that way long ago. Physical abuse as penalty surely works. It arouses resentments and bitterness, but it works. If a student does something wrong and gets a whipping for it, he or she will cease doing the same erroneous act again. Though it will not change the way he or she thinks, but it WILL work. The student will not understand why he or she should not behave in that particular manner, and will continue to think that he or she .....

.... him by appointing him to be the Thane of Cawdor. On his way home from battle, Macbeth meets with the three witches who prophesize that he will be the king of Scotland and at the same time that Banquo, who was with him at the time, will father a line of kings. From this point, we see Macbeth's ambition get the best of him; his desire to become king is great so with the push of the witches and his wicked wife, Lady Macbeth, Macbeth is able to commit treacherous crimes to achieve his goal, beginning with the murder of King Duncan. After the murder of King Duncan, Macbeth becomes paranoid and he kills any possible enemies, we see the killing is becoming .....

.... changed, it paved the way for other female writers to be less encumbered by gender, and appreciated for their works. I wonder how the writings of Joan Didion would have been accepted fifty years earlier during the start of Woolf’s career. Would she posses the same confidence in her work? Orwell writes “What I have most wonted to do throughout the last ten years is to make political writing in to an art. One can write nothing readable unless one constantly struggles to efface one’s own personality.” Society dictates what is and is not readable, what is and is not acceptable, what is expected and what are success and or fa .....

.... to satirize the socially correct injustices that Huck and Jim encounter on land. The satire that Twain uses to expose the hypocrisy, racism, greed and injustice of society develops along with the adventures that Huck and Jim have. The ugly reflection of society we see should make us question the world we live in, and only the journey down the river provides us with that chance. Throughout the book, we see the hypocrisy of society. The first character we come across with that trait is Miss Watson. Miss Watson constantly corrects Huck for his unacceptable behavior, but Huck doesn't understand why, "That is just the way with some people. They get down .....

.... his fighting in Duncan's service is magnificent and courageous, and his evident joy in it is traceable in art to the natural pleasure which accompanies the explosive expenditure of prodigious physical energy and the euphoria which follows. He also rejoices no doubt in the success which crowns his efforts in battle - and so on. He may even conceived of the proper motive which should energize back of his great deed: The service and the loyalty I owe, In doing it, pays itself. But while he destroys the king's enemies, such motives work but dimly at best and are obscured in his consciousness by more vigorous urges. In the main, .....
