In Venus and Adonis and Antony and Cleopatra‚ William Shakespeare tells the tale of frustrated lovers who long to be desired by the person they love. Although a common plot in many of Shakespeare’s works‚ these accounts instead forefront the reversal of gender identities. Masculinity is questioned through vulnerable male figures; alternatively‚ this masculine role is appropriated by the female counterparts‚ which results in the male figures’ uncertainty and loss of identity. Venus and Adonis comprises

research on two interesting pieces of Paleolithic art‚ The Venus of Willendorf and The Venus of Laussel. It was fascinating to learn about each piece of art and what the story is behind each one.

since the first discovery of the Venus flytrap back in 1763‚ there have been many discussions over if this plant is truly a living biotic creature. Some ways that I believe that it fits the characteristics to be considered living are‚ that it grows just like all other plants‚ it has adapted to its environment in order to survive‚ and it gets it nutrients from the insects and other small animals that it digests.
