Gullivers Travels 2
... by reason, and the Yahoos are naked, dirty humanoids that seem at best, barbaric creatures. The purpose of Part IV is to show the extremities of human nature, and to display both the good and bad qualities through two different examples. Swift makes the good quality of human nature seem more foreign to the reader by attributing that good quality, reason, to a horse. It also puts the period of Enlightenment in perspective for the reader. The main purpose of Book IV of Gulliver’s Travels is to exemplify the two extremes of human nature, as well as show what position on that spectrum we humans should strive to ...

... from oral folk traditions, since the mysterious people of the forest might be in turn helpful mischievous or sinister. In "Henry IV Part I", the king relates a folk legend that "some night-tripping fairy" might steal babies and leave a fairy child or someone else's child. People may have believed, or half-believed, in the fairies. They might also have been imaginary figures of fun that personify nature.
Another kind of medieval play in contrast with Midsummer is Everyman it refers with death directly along with the metaphor "life is a precious possession." If you have many rituals, you must "invest" them wise ...

Odyssey, Learning About Himsel
... and verbally for some time to come. Also, if that weren’t enough, he planned a boxing match for Odysseus to be in to watch him get beat up. All this was happening and the other suitors were most likely following their leader in whatever he was doing. Odysseus had to control himself the whole time this was happening. If he had lost his temper, the suitors would have killed him, his son, and most likely taken over the kingdom. That didn’t happen though. Odysseus learned self-control and humility. He may not be perfect at it, but going through all the humility made him a better man. Along the same topic, h ...

The Ironies Of 1984
... learn about the departments of Government in Oceania. The Ministry of Truth is actually the maker of lies for the history books, the Ministry of Love discourages love, and the Ministry of Peace is actually quite violent.

The concept of a big brother is one whom is older and wiser and helps the "littler siblings"-this not the case with 1984's Big Brother. The Big Brother in this novel completely watches over every move a person makes keeping them controlled with fear.
The next type of irony is Situation irony, which i ...

... cannot trust his love with
is the same madness that he loses total control over because of his
immaturity; it then causes him to do things, such as kill Polonius,
that a person that was mature could stop. The madness that Hamlet
assumes is understandable but he can never get over the actual
death of his father by still wearing black a year later, and the hasty marriage of his mother to Claudius. Compared to Horatio who is
calm and cool throughout the play, and Fortinbras who collected
an army to fight for his uncle’s land and honor, Hamlet’s maturity
level for his time is low, especi ...

The Once And Future King Descr
... but there was no romance felt in her relationship with the King.
Gwen is said to have been clumsy when under pressure and
lacking knowledge to ache or swell, selfishness indecently exposed, an
inability to settle down, pert arguments on abstract subjects and a lack of exof the world. Like most 22 year olds, it was stated that Guenever had a chaos of the mind and body, a confusion and profusion of beliefs and hopes, the ability to be transported by the beauty of physical objects, a heart perience as to when truth should be suppressed in deference to the middle aged. On top of these, there were the broad an ...
