Moreover, Antigone even calls what she’s doing “a crime of reverence;” a fitting phrase seeing that she is going against her polis and hurios and in doing this, obeying the gods and her morals. Antigone, therefore, is committing not just a crime, but a crime of reverence, which she deems higher than all else (74). What are Ismene’s arguments for refusing to help her sister?

Bradstreet, however, was not one to blindly follow the paths of others. She felt the need to question motives, morals, and even the existence of God. In her poem, “Contemplations,” we are able to see Bradstreet’s desire to understand the place of man among all of God’s other creations in this world. Bradstreet was one of the

They hold a strong sense of trust and admiration with the gods and believe that when the gods claim there is a prophecy to be carried out, they will follow through with it in action. The chorus continues to show their reverence by using imagery of “Great laws [that] tower above [them]”. By using this description, the laws of the gods in heaven seem

Multiple critics have written about Burtynsky’s use of the sublime, including Amanda Boetzkes and Jennifer Peeples. Boetzkes examines how Burtynsky’s photography evokes nature, by way of the sublime

It was Saturday morning, October 15th 2016, that my friends and I visited Touro Synagogue. We attended a synagogue Sabbath worship. Upon coming into the small chapel, I was struck by the magnificent architecture of the place. It was a warm place with a nice chandelier and upper glass that brings the sunlight into the chapel.

explains the significance of accepting the knowledge and traditions of the past, instead of experiencing nature and God directly. The question about the order of the universe (relationship between God, man and nature) is answered through the experience of life. Nature in fact is an expression of the understanding. Emerson portrays an attitude towards nature using figurative language, comparison and contrasting. In the essay, he expresses the philosophy that the universe is composed of nature and

Socrates should be found guilty of impiety due to his lack of reverence in the gods. The meaning of impiety is when somebody questions the power or chooses to lack respect for the gods. As we look over Socrates’ life there is evidence of his breaching of piety. The first of which is his fundamental questioning and demeaning of the gods.
