The Death of Socrates Questions

1. Plato and his friends consider the death of Socrates a great personal calamity because they were not heartbroken for Socrates, but for their own calamity in losing such a great friend. Plato and his friends considered Socrates like a figure of their father and losing him impacted them very much. 2. Socrates chose not to delay drinking the poison because he felt that he would gain nothing as he delayed them. He felt that he should die in a frame of mind and that it would be ridiculous to cling to life and hug it when it has no more to offer. 3 the death of socrates is similar to a Greek tragedy because in Greek tragedy, the good guy ends up being dead just like Socrates. In both tragedies, it did not end in their favor. Socrates was the protagonist and spoke out the government which is considered the antagonist and he ended up dying before he could overcome them therefore a great tragedy indeed.

    When watching the movie Gladiator, one might notice how very similar this story is to the Shakespearean play, Hamlet. In Gladiator the main character seeks vengeance for the loss of his son and wife, as does Hamlet for the loss of his father. The vengeance sought out in Gladiator is a result of treachery involving loved ones as is the vengeance sought out in hamlet. Finally, both Hamlet and Gladiator are examples of dramatic tragedy where the main character ends up dying. Along with these similarities there are also many differences. There are the difference in characters, the difference in when these stories take place, and the difference in the endings. By comparing and contrasting a modern tragedy, Gladiator, with an ancient tragedy, Hamlet, it shows why dramatic tragedy has survived throughout the ages.…

    Despite his many flaws, Charlie is a man whom almost everyone can’t help but like. It’s surprising that Charlie’s so likeable considering his wild past of uncontrollable alcoholism, his possible complicity in his wife’s death, and the fact that he essentially abandoned his child. He seems so earnest in his efforts to reverse the situation. We also note that he rejects his former friends and he merely takes only one drink per day. Fitzgerald also conveys Charlie’s great personal charm. Charlie is a physically attractive man, a quality that clearly affects Lorraine and possibly even Marion.

    In ancient Greek literature, there are two types of drama’s. There was the comedic drama, and the tragic drama. The difference between these two dramas would be decided by the fate of the hero at the sisation of the play. Tragedy being the most popular, was the biggest part of Greek society. This is proven by all of the plays, stories, and works the Greeks created concerning this topic. Tragic plays were so heavily conducted that all of them began to share common traits.

    Thomas Paine once stated, “Character is much easier kept than recovered.” Even today, the statement rings true. It is better to have character than to not have any ethics at all. Yet, in twenty-first century society, the dividing line between character and personality is unfortunately all too present. It is now more important to possess a strong and loud personality than it is to possess strong character. Especially in men, this lack of character results in a lack of wholeness. The goal of men is not to attain wisdom and a clear conscience; rather, it is to “look good” and act accordingly. Traditionally, the beauty aisle in a store has been strictly limited to the women’s market; however, in the latter half of the 20th century through today, an increasing emphasis on men’s “beauty” has developed. How a man ought to look and what he ought to use are becoming exceedingly important to both men and women, so much so that character is thrown out the door.…
