The Tragic Heroes: Hector, Achilles and Agamemnon
[ send me this paper ]
(8 pp) Do you ever wonder if the Greeks would have booed a good comedy off the stage? I guess, the chorus responding to, "a funny thing happened to me on the way to the tragedy this evening, just wouldn't cut it. It is tragedy that has survived in the Greek theater. Were all our characters doomed at the beginning of their lives? Did only the gods reek havoc on these men, to cause their failings, or did they contribute to their own downfall as well. Or did blaming the action on the Gods, absolve them of taking responsibility for their lives? These are some of the questions we will consider as we look at these men in action in Homer's Illiad. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page report discusses Aldous Huxley’s 1932 novel “Brave New World” and Sophocles’ ancient text of “Oedipus the King” in terms of the trials that take place in both. Greek drama was written and produced with a determination to present an insight or an awareness to the audience that either caused the members of the audience to examine their own lives or that of their rulers.

The Underlying Theme of Morality in The Aeneid, Matthew, and The Inferno
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page overview of the common theme of morality presented in these three great works of literature. Defines morality and contends that despite their apparent diversity, these three works of literature each offers a slightly different view of the factors which enter into man’s choice of morality or immorality and of the consequences of those choices. Concludes that these works provide us a means of distinguishing right from wrong and important from unimportant. They also provides us a means of introspection, of self-examination designed to allow us to make that same journey from spiritual immaturity to salvation. It is our morality, or lack of it, which determines the ultimate direction our souls will take and this lesson can be honed home in some of the most diverse of the world’s literature. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
