Treatment Of Women In Western & Eastern Mythology
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. The treatment of women in Indian mythology compared with that of Greek and Roman mythology proves to be not all that different from one another. Women, in general mythological terms, are primarily in existence to act as man's servant, both menially and sexually. To go so far as to say their treatment is barbaric, particularly in Greek and Roman mythology, would not be making an extreme statement. Indian mythology, on the other hand, utilizes the poor treatment of women in a slightly more domestic manner without the severity of physical harm so prevalent in Western mythology. The writer compares the treatment of women as it relates to Eastern and Western mythology. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Trochaic, Catalectic Death in A. E. Houseman
[ send me this paper ]
Everyone dies, and in sweet death, there are two opposing forces, grief and celebration, both aspects in which the living participate in death to recover from their loss. In To an Athlete Dying Young, A.E. Houseman uses a mix of iambic and non-iambic elements to tell the rhythm of death from the viewpoint of those left behind. His constant mixture of rhythm deals with the internal turbulence death causes and provides a lasting eulogy to poetic form and athlete. Bibliography lists 1 source. jvAthDyi.rtf

Vampires: Myth Verses Legend
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page discussion of vampires of legend and the threats which those vampires may present even today. Some contend they are simply folklore while other contend that they wander the earth even today as estranged souls, separated from the living by their own immortality. Fiction, fantasy, cultism, or reality? The author of this paper leaves that decision for you to make. Suggested for consideration, however, is the premise that the threat of vampires may have little to do with losing our souls to the living dead, that perhaps it has more to do with allowing the circumstances of the time to control our thoughts and our emotions. Bibliography lists 8 sources.
