The Human Condition is a big part of our understanding of literature, it can mean death, acceptance, judgment, and several other diverse things. It is about the positive or negative aspects of humans that everyone all universally deals with at least one time in one’s life. In the novel “The Great Gatsby”, written by F. Scott Fitzgerald, the short stories Raymond Carver’s “Everything Stuck to Him”, and Katherine Anne Porter’s “The Jilting of Granny Weatherall”, all have the most prominent human condition: love. Love is portrayed as society’s primary concern in literature, and is represented as a main concern in today’s society .

Orual first takes her sister for mad, but eventually is convinced the perhaps she should leave Psyche to her new found joy, to the love of her husband. But her jealousy and obsessive love step in , grudging Psyche her happiness, her love. Orual is unable to comprehend, much less approve, of any love for Psyche that usurps her own. Orual, predictably, resents the gods for the gulf now so plainly separating her from Psyche. "…the world had broken in pieces and Psyche and I were not in the same piece. Seas, mountains, madness, death itself, could not have removed her from me to such a hopeless distance. Gods, and again gods, and always gods…they had stolen her." (TWHF, pg.120-121)

Everyone goes mad in their own particular way. Nowra thinks madness is too generalised, and it is based on each individuals past and experiences etc.

Could anyone feel sympathy for a groveling, sly demon? The demons did have a hard job, but it was a despicable job of choice. In The Screwtape Letters, by C.S. Lewis, Screwtape busily instructs his nephew, Wormwood, who scrambles to trip up his “patient,” and bring the man to hell. Throughout the book, everyone should plainly realize that neither Screwtape nor Wormwood deserved pity or sympathy in the least. The first reason for this is that the demons’ malevolence revealed itself plainly in the book. Secondly the demons’ hate for all that is good and innocent reared its ugly head, snarling in the reader’s face. Finally, the pitiable, vile, cruel plans of the demons wiped out any lingering sympathetic feelings in the reader. The demons were purely cruelty.

Orpheus’ story is still read and studied around the world to tell us to not make the same mistakes he did. The moral of his story can apply to all of us in the real world today. For this reason, his story will always be studied and stay

The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver is a classically, well-written novel in modern day. The Poisonwood Bible is a masterpiece that illuminates thematic topics such as religion, alienation, and colonialism. Kingsolver dramatizes each of the characters in the Poisonwood Bible giving them each their own personal agenda. Each character Kingsolver develops discovers his or her true identity while being cut off from their birthplace, friends, family, and/or their homeland.

A gentle discord between her mind and heart, even as a child Psyche feels she does not belong with the mortals around her. Nor, however, does Lewis’s Psyche see herself as a goddess as the rest of her nation does. She is instead trapped between worlds, and is not allowed to be fully human or fully divine. This all changes when Psyche is to be sent to her presumable death as a punishment for being called more beautiful than the goddess Venus herself. In Apuleius' The Golden Ass (the most classic

The moral argument states that individuals understand Right from Wrong and this understanding is share among other individuals. For moral law to exist in the universe, God must also exist to govern moral law. CS Lewis defended this argument. He claimed that common moral law exist among people and people are expected to obey this law. This law is the Law of Nature because “everyone knew it by nature and did not need to be taught” (136).

Ever wondered how love can bring you happiness and pain and make you sane and crazy at the same time. How this emotion can change you and make you accept things you are not used to. How this emotion can overpower you in many ways in which you did not know existed. In Lancelot by Chretien de Troyes, the power of love is a commanding driving force that can dominate a person’s mind, body, and soul and one who is courageous enough to love sometimes undergoes serious consequences. Consequences that are driven from the power of love that harm and cause hardship to the one who is determined to seek love.

For instance, while Orpheus is beginning to doubt himself on the journey, he feels “unable to weep”, yet still cries for the “loss of human hope” (75,76). This shows how the author uses contradictory statements to show conflicting ideas. These ideas represent Orpheus’ internal battle in his mind. This also expresses how Milosz carefully used Orpheus’s growing paranoia and doubt to create an atmosphere of delusion and growing tension. Additionally, after Orpheus looks behind himself and loses Eurydice, he begins to hear everything “[cry] to him: Eurydice” (87). This demonstrates how the loss of Orpheus’ love affects him so deeply that his reality starts to slowly fall apart. This also shows how Milosz creates this world of resonating silence that is suddenly overrun with sound now that Eurydice in gone. This dreamlike scenario in Orpheus’ mind supports the idea of his psychosis. Eventually, Orpheus’ internal conflicts and persistent uncertainty lead to his loss of grasp on what is

In the Oresteia, there is a deep relationship between characters which is necessary to understand the role of suffering in Greek tragedy. The most profound form of this relationship is between a mortal and an immortal. Suffering of the mortal spurns a yearning on the part of the immortal to give assistance or guidance to the mortal, like a mother helps her child in pain. Suffering on the part of the mortal is a vital piece to stimulate emotional response from the audience. The same, to a lesser extent, can is also said of many other inter-mortal relationships. The passions felt by the reader because of such a relationship brings an emotional cleansing in response to the suffering of the mortal. The role of suffering in Greek tragedy is to enable the audience to empathize with the characters suffering through their relationships.

Edgar Allen Poe once said, "I was never really insane except upon occasions when my heart was touched”. Some women in love may say the same, the infamous Medea included. Medea was a married woman and a mother of two who was left alone and heartbroken; because of this, she sought revenge after her husband left her for a woman of higher status. As she acted impulsively and irrationally, she executed a murderous plan, one that left her old lover with the funeral plans of both his new princess and their children. At first glance, one might say that she was heartless, evil, and spiteful; however, by taking into account the motivation behind her actions, one can quickly change their perspective to understand her reasoning. One way to understand someone better is to look into their personality and how it was developed. Sigmund Freud developed the concept that one’s personality is classified into three main structures in the mind that are constantly fighting each other until one area dominates. The three main structures within Medea include the Id, Ego, and Super-ego, systems that are easily seen and demonstrate how each part of her personality affected the outcome of her story. When looking at Medea’s Id, Ego, and Super-ego, one can see how they influenced the defense mechanisms and drew in possible traumatic childhood events from her youth that could help to comprehend the actions she carried out. The analyses of Medea’s background and decision-making factors are not a
