The social tolerance of these plays goes hand in hand with their exploration of human psychology. The hallmark examples of Shakespeare’s penetration into the human psyche are Hamlet and King Lear. In the former, Shakespeare explores the state of melancholia in the young prince of Denmark. Even after the play is finished the audience is still left pondering whether or not Hamlet is truly sane. Bloom writes: “the question of Hamlet always must be Hamlet himself, for Shakespeare created him to be as

of the 19th century. Many of Shelley’s poem tell about the nature of the human condition. In many of his poems Shelley use elements of nature (seashells, the wind, the ocean, etc.) to discuss truths about the human condition. Percy Shelley examines the one consistent characteristic of being human in his poem “Mutability”. In his poem “Mutability” Shelley shows the fragility and unpredictability of the human condition. The poem opens with the speaker comparing humans to "clouds that veil the midnight

It is part of the human condition to ponder how Nature could ever have been endowed with moral authority. One must ask why it is that authority still exerts such a powerful pull upon our modern sensibilities that sometimes seem to go against mere “Nature.” To discover allegedly “natural” motives for a crime mitigates its severity, since it is frowned upon to revere back to the original “animal” ways of humanity. I shall argue that the moral order of the natural kind is exemplified in the myth of

stories through their authenticity. I will use the novel Nervous Conditions by Tsitsi Dangarembga and two short stories “A Private Experience” by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and “The Prophetess” by Njabulo Ndebele to show how Africa has been successfully reclaimed from the stereotypical view of Europeans drawing as a basis for further development from Chinua Achebe’s article, “An Image of Africa. I will first analyse the novel Nervous Conditions under the theme of gender and patriarchal oppression. The short

age, is terrible. War, in this case or in any case, relates to both human condition and human nature. Human conditions, in short, are things that that defines the human existence (birth, death, etc.) Human nature, close to human conditions, are how humans act naturally to their environment and others. The theme of A Long Way Gone ties strongly with both of these with a passion. It describes war as an art, with human condition as a canvas and human nature to paint in the fine details. The question asked

English Four to better prepare us to face decisions head-on, know how to relate to the human condition, and back it up with textual evidence. The human condition, according to dictionary.com, is “the positive and negative aspects of existence as a human being.” (While this quote helped strengthen my argument, it came from an unreliable source which I did not originally site.) Essentially, the human condition is what makes us us, as Mitchell Paycheck stated. In the texts we have looked at so far in

In Tsitsi Dangarembga’s Nervous Conditions the main character and narrator of the novel Tambudzai, experiences many difficulties in the process of earning her education. Many would argue that that these difficulties purely developed due to her family and her brother Nhamo. However, I will argue that although her difficulties are to some extent created by her family, they are mainly due to the societal pressures and restrictions, as well as the pervasiveness of gender inequality of mid to late 1900

Response Paper “The Road Not Taken” “The Road Not Taken”, by Robert Frost, is probably the most recognized poem in American culture. Anyone who has graduated from middle school at least recognizes the words found in the poem’s final stanza about the road less traveled and the difference it has made (Frost 20), to which the poem’s perceived themes of individual empowerment, and “follow your heart” decision-making, is attributed. This considered, it’s no surprise that I was considerably shocked to

ENGL-154 Paper #2 Aarthi Ramesh ‘David’s Un-Happy Ending’ Loneliness is a central theme governing the interactions of the characters pertaining to the novel, Giovanni’s Room. David’s words are a source of wisdom for why loneliness so frequently follows the actualization of love. He says, “With this fearful intimation there opened in me a hatred for Giovanni which was as powerful as my love and which was nourished by the same roots” (p 84). Baldwin
