    Richard, Duke of Gloucester always detested his brother Edward IV after his secret marriage to Elizabeth Woodville, as he was made to look a fool by him when he found out they was married. Furthermore, when society found out of this marriage, this almost put Gloucester at an advantage because in that century, the King was supposed to marry a person that would influence the Kingdom in a good way, not out of love. Nevertheless, Because of this, Gloucester revealed that it was rumoured that Edward IV was already married, when he was got married to Elizabeth Woodville. For this reason, the marriage was deemed illegitimate, thus making Edward V’s inheritance of the throne illegitimate. This was a very strong move from Gloucester, and ultimately, because of this, he gained the throne, and the power to…

    Summary: A Game Of Thrones

    Henry David Thoreau, a philosopher from the nineteenth century, wrote about the contradictory relationship between citizens who behave morally and governments who rule immorally. In his speech, Civil Disobedience, he stated, “Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also a prison” to convey that governments, rather than individuals, decide whether behavior is lawful or punishable (para. 22). This statement expresses that people should evaluate someone’s imprisonment in the context of their government’s rules without making the assumption that all prisoners are convicted based on universal and justified standards. In George RR Martin’s novel, A Game of Thrones, familial line, rather than a democratic…

    Game Of Thrones Themes

    • 355 Words
    • 2 Pages

    Along with its fantasy world, Game of Thrones series have consistently depicted real life themes and characters. Ultimately, Game of Thrones can be claimed as a series based on real world drama illustrated in a fantasy world. In the present world, “we all have knowledge, love/hate, scheming politics, sex, isolation.” (Game of Thrones - Interview with George R.R. Martin). Similarly, Game of Thrones’ storylines revolves around these themes, in order to generate a world similar to ours. For instance, the title of the show Game of Thrones, can be regarded as a metaphor of devious politician. It is reasonably straightforward that this “show is a perfect metaphor for scorched-earth style of politics in a deeply divided red state/blue state America.”…

    Jane Eyre

    • 1260 Words
    • 6 Pages

    King Richard III begins, and ends, with a civil war between the House of York and House of Lancasters for the English crown. Similarly, Looking for Richard ends with a war as well but the different textual form of these texts changes the representation of the war. In King Richard III, the metaphor “Now is the winter of our discontent/Made glorious summer by this son of York;” encourages the reader to draw a comparison between two seemingly unrelated things, as well as find similarities between them. Richard uses the seasons of summer and winter as a metaphor to suggest that King Edward IV's reign has turned everyone's winter-like sadness into a time of "glorious," summer-like celebration. In addition, there is a pun on ‘son’ and ‘sun’ indicating good weather and good times, while ‘son’ indicates the good rule of King Edward IV. Similarly in Looking For Richard,…

    The HBO broadcasting network debuted my new favorite TV series Game of Thrones in April 17, 2011, which is based off the author George R.R Martin’s novels “Game of Thrones”. Since the first premiere of the fantasy driven drama series: resembling closely with medieval era, I instantly become a fan. Aside from the memorable characters, which oftentimes leads one to develop some form of attachment and then left with the unbearable shock due to well-known bloodlust of surprise executions gives more of reason to tune into the show. I would describe this show as truly unique where nothing is ever expected to be anticipated. It hold’s no true connection or trends to past popular shows, which makes it, stand out from the rest.…

    You soon find out that you are the dragonborn. You have the power of Thume, or voice. You can yell and basically effect the world around you by either doing damage or even become invisible. The storyline is complicated and involves twists and plots and quite a lot of dragon killing, and inevitably, dragons killing you. Probably the most annoying part of the game, getting stuck in a dragon fight that can take some time to finish if your not inept in magic, and all the sudden here comes another dragon, and on a rare occasion, a third or fourth dragon, leaving you with little ability to defend yourself against an…

    What do people believe in? What is it that we put our faith in circa 2017? Do we pray to a pantheon, do we sacrifice to an omnipotent deity? These are the overarching questions asked by the fantasy novel American Gods written by Neil Gaiman. While the book was published in 2001, a many of its budding concepts of a world reliant on technology and dependent on interconnectivity were premonitions of the digital age we live in today. But what have we forgotten as we’ve gained an affinity towards this shiny, instant gratification? American Gods gives us these answers and more in a novel that’s become more than relevant in our connected…

    Richard, Duke of Gloucester, was the brother of King Edward IV of the House of York. The House of York had been in control of the throne of England for some time now, but with the entry of the Woodvilles, was in somewhat of a decline. Elizabeth Woodville, now queen to Edward, was thought of surrounded by sorcery, influencing Edward to the bidding of the Woodvilles and their rise to power. Edward's eldest son was in the primary care of the Woodvilles at the time of Edward's death, and had become very attached to influential lords in the family. These included his uncles, Rivers and Grey. They were rising lords who sought to control the young heir and supplant the House of York of their control of the throne. Thus enters Richard.…

    The Hunger Games

    The Hunger Games was an amazing book. It was amazing how Suzanne Collins imagination made up Panem, which is the future, ruins of North America and how it was divided up into twelve districts. I liked how each district as you got lower had less wealth but still was very important to the Capital. For example each district had its own specialty that benefited that Capitol, such as coal mining, agriculture, seafood, and other specialties. Some districts provide the Capitol with energy or material goods and some provide the manpower to keep those in the Capitol in power. Some thing I didn’t like in The Hunger Games was how every year the twelve districts had to send two representatives, boy and girl, to participate in the games no matter how old…
