tongue my utter forth, The venomous malice of my swelling heart.” (Barbara 193). This not only sums up who this unique character was, but the way the play went. Throughout it’s entirety, people did unforgivable things due to the main issue in the beginning (in a religious point of view) one of the four horsemen, War. This being set in a religious time period, it seems appropriate to bring to light the Catholic undertone of the story, as it is referenced many times. Once Aaron the Moor and his child are took off stage by the fellow Goths to both be executed, you hear trumpets and all the lights suddenly come on. Lucius and Marcus rush to stand by their seats to welcome, the ironically very unwelcomed guests. Saturninus, Tamara, and a helpful …show more content…
However, this then quickly turns into Titus talking about his shame for his daughter, and questions if one should survive through so much shame. Saturninus, being the most oblivious man in the world, says one shouldn’t live (as he believed Titus was still talking about a greek story). Yet this still causes Titus to swiftly make up his mind and he stabs his daughter to death. This shouldn’t be in any way rageful, but almost beautiful (in a sick way of course, I mean she’s dying here) as he caresses her head as she dies, as he believes this is a favor towards Lavania. This causes everyone to be in shock, and Young Lucius to hid under the table for fear of being killed. No one goes to help Lavania nor Young Lucius, as they are trying to figure out who is to attack next. Here Saturninus, still being oblivious, asks who caused her so much shame. And Titus, taking advantage of the moment he has so long desired to have, asks Tamara “Will’t please you eat? - Will’t please your Highness feed?” (Barbara 197) as she has been eating the answer to Saturninus’s question the whole time. Titus then begins to laugh hysterically and snaps into a rage, walking up behind Saturninus and Tamara saying it was Chiron and Demetrius. Saturninus responds with “Go fetch them hither to us presently.” (Barbara 197) Then Titus’s tone turns into a matter of fact way of speaking when he tells
“The Cause of War” is a book written by Australian author Geoffrey Blainey. The book is a collection of studies from wars since 1700’s and it analysis the relation of rivaling nations. The book is divided in four parts it starts discussing the weakness behind the current theories of peace, it then moves to talk the “ingredients” which are key for a nation to determine whether they will go to war or not.

What does Tim O’Brien wants us to understand about war? One thing is that in war you will feel fear. Second, decisions decide what your fate will be. Last, fear will make decisions for you.
War takes a toll on those who fight, or are affected by it, this is undeniable. Over the course of the 20th Century, within the U.S. Military and Psychiatric Community the way that this effect is identified and treated has changed many times based on the conflict and the mindset of the American public. The purpose of this report is to discuss the history of the mental effect of the trauma created by US involvement in wars within the 20th Century and the steps that were taken in those eras to predict, prepare and treat for those effects.
American veteran and novelist, Kurt Vonnegut uses his wartime experiences as a basis for his thought-provoking, antiwar novel, Slaughterhouse-Five. The novel follows Billy Pilgrim, an American chaplain’s assistant who serves near the end of World War II, through the horrific fire bombings of Dresden and his life after the war. In his novel, Vonnegut presents twentieth century war as traumatic and destructive, however; it is something that cannot be avoided so humans need to develop a means to cope with its effects.

News media is supposed to serve the purpose of informing their listeners of current and upcoming events that affect the audience. Very few viewers actually take into account how valid these news reports actually are. More or less, the news is accept. The same could be said about any news releases on war. However, in the documentary, “War Made Easy: How Presidents & Pundits Keep Spinning Us to Death” the narrator speaks to the audience about how the media such as news reporters and presidential speeches influenced Americans to become advocates for the war. Presidents play a large role in propaganda because they showed means of justification for their immoral military actions during these wars. The film discuss several wars in which America contributed in unethical acts.
“The Tragedy of war is that it uses man’s best to do man’s worst” wise words from Henry Fosdick.

There are many reasons how man’s best can result to man’s worst. Henry Fosdick statement is both true and false.
France was the primary stage upon which the combined efforts of the Western Front took place and it was also the place where the outcome of the bloodshed was decided in 1918, after the country had been ravaged by the conflict since the beginning of it back in 1914. It was in French lands that the modern machinations of war were let loose to roam and become one of the most violent, bloody, and uncontrollable human expressions in recorded
In the short story “In the Shadow of War” by Ben Okri you can see symbolism being used all throughout the story to develop the theme a child’s innocence can only last for so long. For example Omovo’s father didn’t want him to hear news of the war and told Omovo to turn off the radio, but then it says,”When a danfo bus came, and his father went with it, Omovo turned the radio back on.” This is an example of Omovo’s father trying to shelter him from hearing about what is actually happening in Nigeria, but Omovo just becomes more curious about what is happening. In the quote the radio is used as a symbol to represent the outside world and more specifically the war going on in Nigeria at the time, after hearing about the
The Thirty Years of War started with the issues that arose between their Protestant German princes and Catholic emperor. Obviously, at the beginning there were tensions based on the fact that they did not practiced the same religion. They also did not agree on the constitutional issues at hand. This resulted in defenestration aka throwing someone out of a window. In other word, things excecated very quickly when members of the Protestant Bohemian legislation wanted to make statement that they didn’t like the new Catholic emperor. Consequently, they threw two imperial officials out of the castles window in protest. A very dramatic way of starting off 30 years of war but none the less it was defenestration at its finest. This was a very significant
1. General: During the early European renaissance, military and political influencer Niccolo Machiavelli published several influential works, including The Prince and The Art of War.

Warfare is a relentless pursuit to gain an edge on the opponent and defeat him as quickly as possible and minimize your own losses. The new American way of war uses massive firepower, excels in advanced technology, and pursues total victory. Backed by U.S. mighty military power, the new American way of war has put on impressive shows in wars in Iraq, the former Yugoslavia, and Afghanistan. The new American way of war is faster in maneuver, armed with sharper precision firepower, and advanced command and control. This new American way of war, according to Max Boot, avoids the traditional, industrial-age necessity of overwhelming force in favor of maneuver, flexibility, and speed, all empowered by greater use of C4ISR, smart munitions, special

Zoricus, Fedrel, and Crowley stood in a tavern fresh from a job. They were assassins, the best assassins in the North and South kingdoms. They were all sly, meticulous, and professional killers. “A round, young wretch”, Fedrel said joyfully to the young server girl.
The “Art of War” and “De Re Militari” two military treatises were written one continent and around five centuries apart by authors that came from two vastly different backgrounds and cultures. Both authors penned treatises intended to inform and educate commanders about war yet the underlying theme is not victory but to ensure the survivability of their soldiers in battle. Sun Tzu and Vegetius differ on their ideas of this specifically on the relationship the military holds between the governing body as well as relations with the civilian population. However, what they do come together on ideas of efficient battle that minimizes Soldier loss as much as possible.
