Case Study: Titus And His Family
Individuality is rejected as Titus and his family succumb give in to docile submission to the corporate world of advertising and manufacturing. Titus and his family are totally dependent on the feed, and thus leads to blind acceptance of the physical and moral decline that saturates society. Destruction of the earth is little concern to Titus providing he has unrestrained access to the feed and its delights, which he has no apperception of the immorality of his actions.

    This passage comes from the book of Leviticus, which is a written text of the laws given to the Israelites. The book lists what character and actions Yahweh expected from the Israelites as His chosen people. At first glance, chapter 19 of Leviticus seems to be filled with various laws that do not interconnect. Looking closer throughout the chapter, all the commands seemed to be linked to the first and second verses of chapter 19, which says “The Lord said to Moses, “Speak to the entire assembly of Israel and say to them: ‘Be holy because I, the Lord your God, am holy (Lev. 19:1-2).” All of the various commands in chapter 19 appear to be connected by one idea: holiness! God called the Israelites to be holy, so the commands he gave are a means to be holy, as well as the command given in verses 9-10.…

    A gladiator was a trained warrior who fought bloody battles to entertain the ancient romans. According to tradition, gladiators were introduced to Rome in 264 B.C., when Decimus Junius Brutus had three pairs of gladiators fight during his father's funeral. The games soon became very popular soon after. The gladiatorial games could be compared to that of a present day circus. Gladiators were usually prisoners of wars, prisoners who committed serious crimes, or slaves. The Romans built many structures and amphitheaters such as the Colosseum. The Colosseum could seat up to fifty thousand to eighty thousand, but usually had an average audience of approximately fifty thousand. The amphitheater had the most updated technology of the time. For…

    Thus, by concentrating on the main levers of government in his hands, Caesar was able to control all the main spheres of life of the Roman society. He expanded the social composition of the ruling elites, integrating almost all the available layers of Roman society into it, and he solved a number of vitally important social issues that helped him to restore peace in the…

    “... if any people ought to be allowed to consecrate their origins and refer them to a divine source, so great is the military glory of the Roman People that when they profess that their Father and the Father of their Founder was none other than Mars, the nations of the earth may well submit to this also with as good a grace as they submit to Rome's dominion.”…

    1. Overall I would classify Marc Antony’s speech as largely monosyllabic as a whole in length. This took a much longer time to decide than it did of Brutus’ speech, this could be that Antony is a smarter and nobler person or that it’s just how Julius Caesar constructed the speech to persuade the crowd. One of the lines that demonstrate a great use of one syllable would be “My heart is in the coffin there with Caesar and I must pause ‘till it come back to me” (Shakespeare, Lines 108-109). This is just one of the many lines that uses a lot of one syllable words but in the end the speech was mainly one syllable in length.…

    Masculinity is defined as the attributes most commonly associated with men. The perception of men’s masculinity had been such an integral part of Roman society that it was insulting to be considered not masculine and therefore not a man. Society valued masculinity so much that in order for boys to become Roman citizens they had to learn to never be submissive. As such, masculinity was often a prerequisite for citizen status and privilege. Masculinity and sex were so interconnected in the values and ideals of ancient Roman society that being masculine was the most important part of a man’s sexual relationships.…

    Titus Andronicus

    William Shakespeare’s Titus Andronicus is a play full of gore and violence from its very core. The play continually compares the two nationality groups, the Goths, and the Romans. The title character and his family are considered the protagonists, and the Goths, are mainly the antagonists. Each group has noble attributes, but also darker and sickly attributes. There is the constant question of civilized versus uncivilized characters throughout the play. Shakespeare uses animal imagery and references to convey the brutality and beastly viciousness the characters have. The use of animals and comparing characters to them is a metaphor for the civilization of the characters. These comparisons to animals is a symbol of how both the Goths and the…

    I have chosen to close read Act V, Scene iii as I believe it is the most significant scene in the play. The language forms, thematical inclusions and possibilities for staging all add to its importance. Titus Andronicus is often called “Shakespeare’s bloodiest spectacle” and this is one of the most gruesome conclusions written.…

    Ancient Roman politics, religion, and entertainment all played a major role in how the Roman forum was organised and what buildings were built and arranged. This can be seen in many buildings created by the leaders at the time, such as Julius Caesar, as they are based around these three aspects of Roman society, and it shows the significance the forum had in relation to specific buildings.…
