    I believe that Odysseus fits the stereotype when it comes to following the man box. I say this because he does cry but he also doesn’t back down from a challenge. Odysseus is weeping on the island of Ogygia and showing his emotions. The book picks up when they “found him there on the the head land, sitting still, weeping, his eyes never dry.”(Book 5 line 167) This quote shows that he is not listening to the ingredients that are in the man box, which is to never cry and express his emotions. He does show that he is a superior man even after being beat up by the waves. He shows that he’s not afraid and he will stand up to challengers “ up he sprang, cloak and all, sized a discus, huge and heavy, more weight by far than those.”(Book 8 line 216-217)…

    As you are an “Employee of Hades,” and a god of death, I have several questions for you. I know you are a very busy god, and I thank you for taking time out of your job to read and respond. I mean, people pass away all day, every day, so I will try to be brief. Firstly, there is a large amount of rumours about your appearance. Is it true that you have large wings? On many pictures and vases, you are portrayed as a ancient warrior with a helmet and beard, along with the wings mentioned before. Is that the truth ? If you have been depicted falsely, what is your true appearance, and why do authors and artists alike depict you in other ways?…

The gods agreed that zeus would get the skies, Poseidon would get the seas, and Hades would get the underworld. Since Hades is the god of underworld, it is often assumed that he is an evil god.

    William Shakespeare based his play Othello, published in 1603, on the short story Un Capitano Moro by Giraldi Cinthio, which was published in 1565. Even though the two stories have many similar points and aspects, they are quite different. The basic structure of the plot is almost the same in both stories; each author simply wrote in their own details. Both authors also had different writing styles. Cinthio chose not to name any of his characters except for Disdemona, and Shakespeare gave all of his characters actual names. Shakespeare mainly depended on indirect characterization. His characters expressed their true intentions through…

    In the book,Oedipus Rex, part of the Sophocles series, Oedipus, the powerful king of Thebes, is a very ego full ruler.

    A tragic hero is characterized in literature as a great and honourable person whose life takes a monumental downfall because of their fatal flaw. By Aristotle’s definition, a tragic hero is “a man who is neither a paragon of virtue and justice nor undergoes the change to misfortune through any real badness or wickedness but because of some mistake” (Aristotle, 38). In Shakespeare's play, both Othello and Desdemona fit well within these guidelines. Othello is a well-revered general who is called to defend Venice and Cyprus, and Desdemona is an honest and good-natured young woman. Both of them display the potential characteristics required of a tragic hero or heroine, with a tragic flaw that results in calamity.…
