Beowulf: Heeded Hrothgar's Advice?
[ send me this paper ]
3 pages in length. Exploring the common denominator that connects Hrothgar and Beowulf, one might readily point out the symbolic quest toward self-awareness inherent to each troubled individual. Hrothgar reflects upon what has occurred and - even though he professes appreciation - he nonetheless cautions Beowulf of the prideful monster that will eat at him if he does not exercise care. This epic poem - like so many others of this genre - exemplifies an era in which man's true virtues are epitomized, as well as how they endure within their most supreme existence. To have heeded Hrothgar's advice would have spared Beowulf some of his most agonizing moments, however, there was no way to warn of what fate awaited him when he was bound and determined to defy such a perilous destiny as Hrothgar foretold. Bibliography lists 1 source.

and, above all, committed to serving his people. He is, in many
ways, the ultimate hero. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Bergsonian Criteria: Why Does Lysistrata Make Us Laugh?
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Laughter, according to Bergson, is an ever-changing entity – such a strange metamorphosis that it requires "something more flexible than an abstract definition." The extent to which laughter is an inextricable component in potentially every aspect of life is both grand and far-reaching; indeed, Bergson's comment "in laughter we always find an unavowed intention to humiliate and consequently to correct our neighbour" speaks to mankind's ability to shadow its otherwise obvious intent with the mask of subtlety. Such is precisely the case with Aristophanes' Lysistrata. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
