Divinely Inspired or Divinely Insane: Supernatural Intervention in Literature Throughout various genres of literature, divine or mystical intervention has played a pivotal role in revealing truths to man. In many cases, these truths prove to be too complex for the human mind to comprehend, resulting in characters to slowly become insane. The characters of Macbeth, Lady Macbeth, and Hamlet from their respective Shakespeare plays as well as the unnamed narrator in H.P. Lovecraft’s short story Dagon

Geoffrey Chaucers use of sarcasm to describe his characters. Geoffrey Chaucer used sarcasm to describe his characters in "The Canterbury Tales."

Napoleon’s self-defeating actions were more important for his defeat. Napoleon lost because: (1) he relentlessly pursued a flawed campaign of economic warfare against Great Britain; (2) he refused to acknowledge strategic overreach during the Peninsular War; and (3) he failed to accept culmination during the invasion of Russia in 1812.

Views of Love in William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet 1. Introduction William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet has the "high profile as the love-tragedy everybody knows"[1]. Although it is regarded as the ideal of romantic love there are many other (quite unromantic) views represented in the play, too.
