Two Literary Concepts of Hell
[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page paper discussing and comparing Christopher Marlowe�s �Dr. Faustus� with Dante�s �Inferno.� Dante predated Marlowe by three centuries, writing �The Divine Comedy� long before the Reformation and the rise of Protestantism that Marlowe followed. The religious teachings of the times in which these authors lived are reflected in the concept of each of the nature of hell. Dante�s character descends into it to discover its hierarchical spirals; Mephistophilis reveals to Faustus that he has not left hell at all in order to visit Faustus, that they are living in it. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Women�s Roles in Two Works from Late Nineteenth Century Italian Literature
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page acknowledgment of the variation which exist in literature in regard to the presentation of women�s roles. Regardless of the country of origin, literature expresses the author�s liberty to be either sympathetic to women's roles or cynical as to those roles. Their portrayals can be either detailed, shallow, or stereotypical. In most cases literature produced by female authors is more positive in terms of its depiction of women than is literature produced by males. A particularly interesting point of comparison as to how women�s roles are presented in Italian literature exists in Guiseppe Di Lampedusa�s �The Leopard� and Sibilla Aleramo�s �A Woman�. Bibliography lists 9 sources.

�The Prince� by Niccolo Machiavelli: Outline, The Author, Impact and Modern Relevance
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing The Prince by Niccolo Machiavelli. The Prince is a text written in 1505 by Niccolo Machiavelli which describes the political unrest in his home country of Italy and the invasion of Italy by the French. In order to preserve Italy, Machiavelli offers advice to the rulers of Italy on how to maintain a principality by the enforcement of power. The aspect of power is not to be confused with the greatness of the Church which because of its dominance and misperception of its power, has led to Italy�s weakness in the art of war. For princes to maintain their principalities, they must use the power of their own arms and not employ mercenaries for the protection of the principality at whatever cost. A ruler must also gain the popularity of the population and to do so must at least have the perception of maintaining the power with virtue even if that is not the case. Machiavelli did his writing by using an outside perspective of Italy and in doing so provided a political text which has been used by rulers ever since.
Bibliography lists 5 sources.
