is a vampire who later meets Elena in school and takes an interest on her. Stefan is a good vampire that can control himself around humans and can survive on animal blood.

Both take an interest on Elena because she resembles an old love of Damon and Stefan from 19th century. As the

Practice can make things perfect, but it is the passion that persuades them. In King Lear, Lear’s first phase of development is about his wild enthusiasm (passion). First and foremost of the play, Lear enters his castle and begins to discuss the division of Britain between his daughters: Goneril, Regan, and Cordelia. Lear says that he will transfer his throne, but whoever expresses greater amount of their affection shall get the largest bounty; “Which of you shall we say doth love us most?” (1.1

At the core heart of King Lear, we get to see the relationship between father and child. The double plot of King Lear consists of parallel stories of two hapless old fathers and of their children. Regan and Goneril speaks eloquently about the vastness of the love that they hold for their father, though they are speaking falsely, each attempting to appear the most loving and as a result they gain more territory. On the other hand Cordelia refuses to stoop to such pandering stating instead she shows

The play King Lear centers around the King and his daughters, following their journeys after the transfer of Lear’s power. However, at the end, it’s not Lear who comes out on top, nor any of his daughters, but instead Edgar. Edgar’s journey is filled with ups and downs throughout the play, as he adapts to new situations and faces new challenges. Although he is not the main character, Edgar deserves to live and become the ruler of Britain. Edgar, as the legitimate son of Gloucester, was the rightful

The aspect of having some living organism to have the same type of genetic information and have the same looks, is kind of a skeptical topic to talk about. It is very much more skeptical when the living organism has the same genes as the other and one of them were not born “by nature”. This phenomenon is called cloning. Cloning creates all types of controversies within the scientists and all the population, for the things that scientist can do with just a little piece of a cell. One of the main controversy

One of the underlying themes in Shakespeare's play, King Lear is the concept of the generation gap. This gap is mainly illustrated between the family. The older generation is Lear himself, and the younger generation consists of his daughters Goneril, Regan and Cordelia. In the second plot of the play, Gloucester represents the older generation, and his sons, Edmund and Edgar exemplifies the younger generation. Both younger generations can be divided into two distinct groups. Goneril, Regan and Edmund

The Spy in the Computer A study of how computer games, as a modern narrative form, draw on and develop the tradition of espionage fiction. The spy entered the computer a long time ago. During the Second World War, both the Axis and the Allies used the computer extensively in code-breaking and allied operations. And following from these rather rudimentary forays, espionage through the computer has reached alarming proportions even as other technologies have continued to advance. The focus

After this it became clear the true extent of the crime which was committed under Stalin. As a result there was a flood of historical comparisons made of the two by leading historians such as Ernst Nolte, Allan Bullock, Ian Kershaw and Richard Overy to name but a few. They all similarly focus on key issues such as their rise to power, ideologies, propaganda, education, art and culture, terror regimes, violence and mass murder. Although there are clearly

The Villains of King Lear “A villain must be a thing of power, handled with delicacy and grace. He must be wicked enough to excite our aversion, strong enough to arouse our fear, human enough to awaken some transient gleam of sympathy. We must triumph in his downfall, yet not barbarously nor with contempt, and the close of his career must be in harmony with all its previous development.” -Agnes Repplier What makes a villain a villain? Some people might say that it is maniacal laughter and a

Occidentalism In Ian Buruma and Avishai Margalit's book, Occidentalism: The West in the eyes of the East, they set out to solve the fueling force that drives the "enemies" of America and the Western world. This hatred spans back to the times of industrialization in the east, causing hatred to erupt from the peoples of Asian nationalities, and continues up to present day with Al-Qaeda and the terrorist attacks. Buruma and Margalit trace the roots of Occidentalism back to Germany, China, Japan
