It seems the only accomplishment women could achieve was being beautiful. Theseus “had no joy of”(195) the princess Ariadne because she died before this was possible. Homer makes it sound as if Ariadne’s life was useless because she did not give Theseus pleasure. The only woman we hear of for a different reason is Klymene, and we only hear of her because she “betrayed her lord for gold.”(195) This is the only time we hear of a woman for something she did, and once we do, it is a negative remark.
Penelope, Odysseus’ queen, is pa .....

Red Badge Of Courage
Words: 728 / Pages: 3 .... such as the isolated chapel deep in the forest works well with its explicit detail and the realization it brings to Henry about just how real the war is.
This also brings about a great feeling of loneliness, which is one of the many stages that Henry goes through during the story. Henry feels isolated by his cowardly actions. Trying to justify his act of running, he compares himself to a squirrel that ran from an acorn that he had just thrown. By saying that it was just because of the natural inclination of self-preservation, Henry makes himself feel a little better, but there is still that element of unclarity that he faces. That elemen .....
