Comparing Uncertain Vision in “Othello” and “Oedipus Rex”
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page report discusses the fact that Uncertain vision serves as a unifying theme in both Sophocles’ “Oedipus Rex” and Shakespeare’s “Othello” but there is a difference in how each of the authors present their characters’ overall vision and the direction of that vision. What they perceive or understand is not necessarily what they are seeing. Therefore, interpretation serves as the primary component that makes the difference in how the final outcomes are achieved but the end result is still disastrous. Both men lose everything.

Comparison of Attitudes Toward Sex and Love as Found in the Ancient Chinese and Egyptian Love Songs and Poems
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page paper comparing the difference in the attitudes toward sex and love in the ancient Chinese and Egyptian love poems and songs. Ancient songs and poetry written around the 1,000 B.C. vary greatly from culture to culture. The Chinese lyric poetry found in “The Book of Songs” tells of lovers and passion which are retrained by honor and of the conservative exchange of gifts during courtship. The lovers are restless but willing to wait to honor the fair and beautiful maidens. Egyptian poetry however, also written around 1,000 B.C. has a completely different style. The themes and words of the poems are much more erotic based and rather than conservative courtship are much more liberal in their attitude toward sex where the women are also active participants. These two different approaches are highly reflective of the Chinese and Egyptian cultures during this time period. The Chinese “Book of Songs” is considered as a text which depicts the morals valued by the Chinese culture while the Egyptian love poems reflect the Egyptian culture at the time where men and women interacted on a more liberal level and their society accepted erotica as found in other artifacts of that time period.
Bibliography lists 7 sources.
