She dosesn't know if she can fully trust him to keep the vows and the promises he made, in marrying her and to the ring of their love, in his time of trouble.

On page twenty-five of Shakespeare’s comedic play Merchant of Venice, Portia demonstrates her dislike of the suitors through dialogue and the ambiguity of her diction in order to demonstrate her feelings of unhappiness. In Act one Scene two, Portia discusses her true feelings about the suitors in prose to Nerissa.

In the case of Antonio v. Shylock, Shylock shall be spared of all punishment, for he is innocent of putting one’s life in danger and retracting from taking a pound of his acquaintance’s flesh. Shylock shall remain practicing Judaism and keep all of his goods for there is lots of concrete evidence backing up his case.

Freight rail services could veer away from San Antonio’s railroad yard, an institution bustling with activity in the wee hours of the morning. Also

Rethinking Gramsci's Political Philosophy ABSTRACT: This paper is a clarification and partial justification of a novel approach to the interpretation of Gramsci. My approach aims to avoid reductionism, intellectualism, and one-sidedness, as well as the traditional practice of conflating his political thought with his active political life. I focus on the political theory of the Prison Notebooks and compare it with that of Gaetano Mosca. I regard Mosca as a classic exponent of democratic elitism
