"Antigone must be received as the canon of ancient tragedy: no tragedy of antiquity that we possess approaches it in pure idealism‚ or in harmony of artistic development" says one critic named Berhardy. Tragedy is usually concerned with a person of great stature‚ a king

Themes | Racism | The Theme in the Book | Racism is one of the major themes in To Kill a Mockingbird.

It is important to treat others how you want to be treated. If you don’t then it will come back and bite you in the butt. Just like it did in “The Lottery”.

This is fitting with one of the many themes of The Alchemist‚ that one shouldn’t anticipate the future more than they live in the present. This theme appears later in the novel when the alchemist tells Santiago‚ “fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself.” (Coelho 137) It is a theme that is offered several times over the course of the book‚ each time it helped Santiago on his journey. This suggests that the author intends for us to accept this theme as a truth. If one is to assume that
