Euripides & Ibsen/Iphigenia & Doll's House
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page essay that contrasts and compares Euripides' Iphigenia and Ibsen's A Doll's House. The writer argues that in each case, the playwrights endeavor to reflect their respective societies realistically, while shedding light on a particular aspect of their respective cultures. In each case, these authors focus on the nature of women. In each of these societies, women held a subservient position to that of men. These playwrights take a humanist stance that argues against this cultural position and presents women as the emotional and intellectual equals of men. No additional sources cited.

Euripides and the Greek View of Tragedy
[ send me this paper ]
A 10 page research paper that examines two plays by Euripides, "The Bacchae" and "The Women of Troy." The writer argues that the Greeks expressed a finely tuned sense of humanity's place in the cosmos. By overstepping those boundaries, indulging in too much pride, or disregarding the subservience owed to the gods, one could easily encounter a tragic fate. When both of these plays are examined within this framework, they support the idea that the Greeks held this worldview toward the topic of tragedy. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

Euripides' "Electra": Tragic Hero
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. As the tragic hero and protagonist, Euripides' Electra is forced to come face to face with her own shortcomings, which ultimately cast upon her the tragic flaw that eventually leads to her downfall. In applying Aristotle's formula for tragedy to this play, facing opposition from within her own being is part of the inner struggle that Electra addresses throughout her life, wavering back and forth as a means by which to establish her self-knowledge. The fate that governs her life also controls the actions associated with her troubled existence; being both brave and courtly, Electra is compelled to exemplify that of an upstanding social ambassador. However, as time progresses, she learns that she, too, possesses a significant flaw and ultimately succumbs to the burdens of emotion that fate had already provided for her. No additional sources cited.
