Greek Perception of Fate/Responsibility
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page essay that argues that while in Greek tragedy, fate and prophecy play pivotal roles in all the plays, the ancient Greek playwrights did not simply portray people as being puppets manipulated by the gods towards meeting a horrendous end. Rather, these ancient writers pictured individuals as being active in creating the situations that lead to their ultimate doom. In supporting this argument, the writer draws on Oedipus Rex by Sophocles, The Bacchae by Euripides, and the Oresteia by Aeschylus. No additional sources cited.

Hamlet and The Odyssey
[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page paper which compares and contrasts Hamlet and The Odyssey. These two classic tales were written in completely different times in history, as well as completely different regions of the world, and as such they are incredibly different in almost all aspects of consideration. Some of the aspects of the tales that are discussed include intent, substance, focus, cultural perspectives, and beliefs. Perhaps the most obvious difference between the two is that Hamlet is a tale of incredible depth and introspection while The Odyssey is primarily a tale of adventure and intrigue.

Hamlet, King Lear and Oedipus Rex/A Comparison
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page comparison of "Hamlet," "King Lear," and "Oedipus Rex." The writer argues that while the three plays are, of course, totally different as to plot and characterization, they also have points of similarity. While such things as deception, murder and revenge create the prime motivating factors for tragedy, when these factors combine with the intense feelings that occur within familial relationships, they serve to intensify the tragic aspects of a narrative line. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
