Have you ever wondered if some people willingly put themselves in dangerous situations just to explore their curiosity? If you had to take a guess, would you guess that men or women are more likely to willingly enter dangerous situations? People will face danger for many different reasons, some because they are not at all aware

James Joyce’s short fiction, “Araby”, speaks of the loss of innocence when one enters adulthood. The narrator of “Araby” reflects back to his childhood and the defining moment when he reached clarity on the world he stood before. The young boy, living in a world lifeless and religious influence, becomes consumed with the lust of a neighbouring girl.

Gender Roles in Shakespeare and Milton’s View [Introductory Paragraph] control, beauty, and suppression In both The Tempest and Paradise Lost, Milton and Shakespeare share male dominant views of relationships and illustrate how it is problematic in a relationship.
