Homer Barron’s Responsibility for His Own Fate in Faulkner’s “A Rose for Emily”
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing Homer Barron’s responsibility for his own fate in William Faulkner’s “A Rose for Emily”. Homer Barron is responsible for his own fate in William Faulkner’s “A Rose for Emily” mostly because he was responsible for his own actions within their relationship and he would have known how his actions affected her. Emily was known as an old fashioned woman who had been dominated by her father. When her father died, she did not acknowledge his death and she kept him in the house for some time. Homer, a charismatic Northern construction foreman, arrived in the town not long afterward and soon knew everyone in the town including Emily. Because of his knowledge of the town and the stories of Emily, he must have realized that not only was she vulnerable and eccentric but that because the townspeople found her unapproachable she was able to control whatever occurred within her own house. Homer took advantage of her loneliness and became overly confident of her tolerance of him and his actions. His confidence combined with her knowledge that he had no intention of marrying her was one of the main reasons he was responsible for his own fate. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

Homer's "Iliad" / The Greater Hero -- Achilles Or Hector?
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Who was the greatest hero between Achilles and Hector in Homer's The Iliad? When posing this question, one must also consider the various definitions of the word hero. A hero can be of the heart or of the mind, but most likely he is one of the body. A true hero possesses all three of these entities, yet this type of hero is rare, indeed. Neither Achilles nor Hector was a hero of this caliber, yet they both displayed significant heroism while in battle. The writer compares the two warriors to determine which one was the greater hero. No other sources used.

Homer's "The Illiad": Compare/Contrast Achilles And Hector
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. The premise of Homer’s "The Iliad" is that of a petty quarrel Achilles allows to get out of hand, nearly destroying all opportunity for the Greeks to defeat the Trojans, as well as arrive back home safely after the battle. This childish action puts to question whether Achilles was truly a hero who properly exercised his power, for he risked not only his own life by permitting himself to get out of control, but also the lives of each and every person who fought in battle. Hector, like Achilles, was determined and forthright in battle. Attitudes of both men depict that of destruction, both mentally and physically, but it was Hector who was deemed the true hero of the Trojan War. Unlike Achilles, Hector chose his battles more carefully, rather than going headlong into whatever killing spree was most opportune at the moment. A hero does not take chances with other people’s lives; rather, his goal is to save as many as he can. If his own life is destroyed in the process, then that establishes him as even more of a hero. The writer compares and contrasts Achilles with Hector. No additional sources cited.

Homer's Odyssey/Relationship with Gods
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page essay that discusses the information can be inferred from Homer's Odyssey concerning the relationship of humanity with the gods. The writer argues that religion gave ancient peoples not only an explanation of natural phenomenon that would otherwise be inexplicable, but also a feeling of control towards fate. Examination of this epic poem shows that to the ancient Greeks religion was not a remote or abstract subject, but rather a force that interacted with their lives directly. In the Odyssey, characters are influenced, guided, and warned through direct communication with their gods. No additional sources cited.
