are crimes. The levels of Hell can be interpreted as a gradation of crimes, with penalties in proportion to their relative gravity of sin. While crimes are transgressions against human law, Dante’s Christian orthodox ambitions translate the treatment of these seemingly earthly crimes as sins, transgressions against divine law. For the purposes of this paper, the two terms can be used interchangeably because Dante’s perception of crimes on Earth is in parallel to the punishment of those crimes as sins

Centuries after being originally drafted by Shakespeare,the play Julius Caesar continues to stir controversy as scholars debate over who better embodies the characteristics of a tragic hero, Julius Caesar or Marcus Brutus. As defined by Greek philosopher, Aristotle, a tragic hero is one who, through their hamartia, inflicts upon themselves their downfall, evoking a sense of pity and fear in the audience. Because the play clearly introduces his hamartia, peripeteia, anagnorisis, and catharsis, I believe

such traits in Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare and Antigone by Sophocles (for example, Brutus being known as an "honorable man" even by his enemies), but of all the characters in both plays, Antigone's and Antony's acts of nobility are most prominent. While both Antigone and Antony exhibited noble characteristics, Antigone demonstrated the most honorable character due to her good intentions and integrity.

rise above these issues and bring about a seemingly peaceful time in Rome. I have chosen the three, in my opinion, best emperors of Rome, who were able to take command of Rome and make a huge impact.

When Dante first sees him, he notes his gruesome state: No barrel…ever games as the one whom I saw ripped right from chin to where we fart: his bowels hung between his legs, one saw his vitals and the miserable sack that makes of what we swallow excrement (Inf.

about Dante’s journey as he goes through 3 levels, which he calls Inferno, Purgatory and Paradise. In the Inferno, he meets Virgil, his guide throughout his voyage. They both pass through the nine circles of Hell, where they witness many different punishments for those who have done awful things in their past. Good versus evil is a major theme that occurred throughout Hell. In the Inferno, there are times where Dante sees good and evil and also represents it himself. In The Divine Comedy: The Inferno

Every time we watch a TV show, we tend to relate our life to the characters’ life and depending in their personalities, actions, and beliefs we either fall in love with them from the start or we learn to love them throughout the show. As I was watching Rome, definitely, one of the characters that called my attention the most was Lucius Vorenus. To be honest, I did not like him so much at the beginning because I could not understand why he was acting in such an impulsive way, without taking a little

The powers possessed by the Inca monarch are similar to those of the U.S. government. However, Inca punishments for criminals are very different from American punishments for criminals.

One major distinction between the two governments though, is that the Inca government was invaded about
