Distinguishing Between Bad and Evil John Milton’s works Paradise Lost, Paradise Regained and A Masque Presented at Ludlow Castle all have antagonists that are Milton’s representations of evil. However, when closely examining Satan in Paradise Lost to Paradise Regained it is easily recognizable that Satan’s character has taken a remarkable shift in that he no longer questions his immoral actions just like Comus never questions his actions in A Masque Presented at Ludlow Castle. This close examination

Although the foundation of the poems reveals the arguments for both public and private life; it is difficult to discern what Marvell truly felt was the better lifestyle. However, one of the underlying themes of both poems are of violence.

The Impact of Ancient Religion on Homer’s Odyssey   There has long been a fashion among critics and historians, including Sir James Frazier and Graham Hancock, to insist upon taking the account of Odysseus' voyage to Hades in Book XI of the Odyssey at near face-value as a description of people and places familiar to a Greek audience of Homer's day. Both linguistics and comparative history have been employed to discover exactly how accurately this originally oral epic conveys this gritty realism

The connotation of the word rebellion usually implies a forthright and bold act of resistance but in the case of The Blind Assassin by Margaret Atwood, rebellion is quiet and subtle but just as powerful. The novel employs a layering of plotlines that gives different perspectives of Iris Chase Griffen’s life story as a woman developing in a patriarchal society and her journey to self discovery during throughout the 20th century.
