In the Odyssey there were many characters you were introduced or perhaps re-introduced to and all had their own characteristic that helped set them apart. Some examples would be Eumaeus‚ Penelope‚ Poseidon‚ Athena‚ and others.

I agree with this statement‚ as the female characters are revealed to the reader as being powerful over men‚ seductive‚ suspicious‚ mysterious‚ bewitching and in the end‚ cause destruction. However‚ in the poems‚ males claim some possessiveness over the females. For example; in the poem ’La Belle Dame Sans Merci’ a beautiful woman tempts men/ knights with her ’faery’ beauty. The knight in the poem‚ falls in love with her through her seductive actions‚ but then she abandons him. ’ I met a lady in

In the time of Shakespeare‚ women were always seen as humbled and complying individuals. That is of no exception when it comes to the female characters in the tragedy “Hamlet”. Both Gertrude‚ Hamlet’s mother and Ophelia‚ Hamlet’s lover‚ are portrayed so subdued that throughout the play they can be seen as minor characters up until the end when their characters blossomed and their voices ignited. Despite the importance of women in the play “Hamlet”‚ Shakespeare presents female characters as weak‚

Unintentionally Hero Umberto Eco once wrote‚ "A real hero is always a hero by mistake..." This quotation means that when a person doesn’t intentionally try to be a hero‚ but results in being the hero‚ is a true hero. I agree with this quotation‚ as it holds true in life and in literature.

Ernest Hemingway wanted his writing to outlast time and establish his own legacy. In his Nobel Prize speech‚ Ernest Hemingway states that great writers “should always try for something that has never been done or that others have tried and failed” (Hemingway 17). Hemingway focused on the perception of the reader and sought to bring depth to his work through a minimalist approach to using language. He often utilizes the iceberg principle which is a “theory of omission” coined by Hemingway. Through
