the Roman world experienced a lot of transformations with time. The changes can be observed through the literature depending on when it was written. For instance, some revolutions are noticeable in Book 6 of Virgil’s Aeneid and Apuleius 's The Golden Ass.

The author’s imagination gives an insight into the nature of punishments for sin and that lack of adherence to the virtues of the religion results

AD, Apuleius’ Metamorphoses, readers encounter a Greek nobleman, named Lucius, whose insatiable curiosity leads him to explore magic.

Eros: Female Souls Thriving and Crumbling The term “Eros,” referring to passionate love in English, has long been the mainstream of themes in drama, literature, arts, and cinematic media.

Conversely, in ancient times, many poets, especially Virgil, Ovid and Apuleius, described eros as such an evil spirit that it will destroy the female soul thoroughly, except for the one in

The Ass and the old shepherd Alarmed by the cries of the enemy, the shepherd wanted to fly with him. But the Ass was reluctant. Because he thought that he must carry the panniers no matter who would be his master. In the other words, his work and stressful burden couldn’t be changed. As the story says, in a change of government the poor change nothing beyond the name of their master. In my opinion, it remains to be see whether the view is right or not. In the story, it’s right.

One major difference Apuleius makes in his depiction of Psyche is that he places a premise in her original encounter with Cupid – she is not allowed to know his identity nor to see his face. The sequence of Psyche’s acquaintance with her lover, in fact, plays quite an important role in the story. People often say that, “To see is to believe.” However, it is not always the case. Under the circumstance of love, what one sees will be highly deceptive, as it is human nature that one will prefer individuals

superhero based movie. They really are a dime a dozen, which is why I was hesitant to watch the 2010 cult classic Kick-Ass. That being said, I was glad I did end up watching it because what I got was something like I have never seen before in any other type of movie ever, and especially in a superhero movie, which makes it so memorable, and it was nothing short of its title name, kick-ass.

“Damn, the ass on her,” Yaz expressed, as she waved down a light skin D cup, with curly hair and a fat ass. “I’m definitely taking her home tonight!” “Ugh!” “Bitch please; you know how I get down!” “Yea, I know that’s why I said ugh.” After swaying from left to right, she finally reached us. “How you doing sexy?” Yaz asked while rubbing her hand down her back. “Fine… what’s up with you? You tryna get a dance?” “You already know!” She turned around with her ass facing Yaz. She bent over and touched

The American Dream is the phrase and trademark of American society today that many hope to achieve in some point in their lives. In Hunter S. Thompson’s novel, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, readers follow Thompson depicted as Raoul Duke and his attorney Dr. Gonzo in hoping to find the American Dream. It uses Gonzo Journalism, a style that is an adaption of Picaresque narrative to document his drug-induced experiences traveling through 1970’s Las Vegas.

In Grimmelshausen’s novel, Simplicissimus, the protagonist of the same name takes on a much different position than seen in other picaresque novels. Simplicissimus becomes a master, employing his own servants and gains a legitimate position in society. In the novel Lazarillo de Tormes the protagonist is always serving someone else’s interests.
