    Erich Fromm wrote "Disobedience as a Psychological and Moral Problem," in 1963, an essay detailing balance between obedience and disobedience. Fromm cited that authority figures insisted obedience as a virtue and disobedience as a vice. He argued that disobedience began human history itself and necessary to continue it. Fromm first discussed a Biblical example: the story of Adam and Eve. Humans were in harmony with nature, yet still in their infancy. Prophets argued it is through man’s “sin” can

    When Shylock accuses Antonio of spurning him, Antonio replies with 'call thee so again' and 'spit on thee again'. This, is my opinion, justifies the revengeful side of Shylock. Shylock talks down the forfeit of a pound of flesh but Shylock really wants to profit from Antonio's death, as he will be able to charge higher interest rates when Antonio can no longer undercut him. By the end of this scene we find Shylock bitter, greedy and also

    Frankfurt’s challenge on the PAP ultimately fell short as his Jones-Black argument overlooked a contradiction that didn’t’ necessarily rule out alternative possibilities or Jones’ ability to ‘act otherwise’. However, a more gaping flaw is brought to light if we were to revise Frankfurt’s Jones-Black argument in a manner that effectively rules out Jones’s ability to ‘act otherwise’. I will now revise Frankfurt’s Jones-Black argument in the manner that will hopefully satisfy the necessary conditions

    William Shakespeare is widely recognised as the most accomplished playwright to have ever lived, producing thirty seven plays by the time of his retirement in 1610. His most famous play, Romeo and Juliet, is highly valid in our current society; the universal themes explored by Shakespeare in Romeo and Juliet remain enormously relevant to modern teenage audiences. William Shakespeare uses countless literary devices, including metaphor, soliloquy and foreshadowing, to support the themes in Romeo and

    The Witch of Blackbird Pond is a book by Elizabeth George Speare told in third person limited point of view. This means that the narrator is not in the story, but has access to Kit’s (the main character) actions, thoughts, and feelings. An example of this is on page 112 of the book when the narrator says, “She herself had been eager to learn, scarcely able to wait to open the wonderful volumes in her grandfather’s library.”(Speare 112) This shows her eagerness (feelings) and her thoughts about the

    1.William Shakespeare introduces the play by presenting a strong feud between the two family’s servants, the “Capulets” and the “Montagues”. Shakespeare introduces this scene in a precise way so that he can gain the attention of the “groundlings” as it attracts the audience attention, for us to have a sense of how much hatred there is between these families. 3. In the scene, Tybalt’s first impression shows us that he is short-tempered, a lot loyal to the Capulets and has plenty of hatred towards

Throughout the story, different problems are thrown their way, and their friendship is tested with each one. George shows how true friendship requires sacrifice because friends sacrifice

    the Montagues’ have lost their friend, Mercutio. The Montagues’, however, must also suffer through Romeo’s banishment. In the opening conflict of Romeo and Juliet the prince states, “If ever you disturb our streets again,/ Your lives shall pay the forfeit of the peace” (I.i.98-99). This statement provides evidence of the Prince being unequal to the two households because he’s being inconsiderate of the other side's argument. Although Romeo
