Roughy Drafty In the dramatic monologue "The Seven Ages of Man" by William Shakespeare and
the myth "Demeter" retold by Edith Hamilton. Both works of literatures contain universal themes
that each writer displays in a way that readers will interpret differently. In the the monologue the
universal theme is the cycle of life and is compared to that of a play. While in the myth it is the
strength of the bond between a mother and daughter.
To begin with, in the Seven ages it contains the universal theme of the cycle of life. It goes and
compares the stages of the life of man as a play. That in the life of man "his acts being seven ages"
(line 5). So it comes to show how the speaker believes that the life of man is rather arbitrary as he

The readers can tell how strong their love is as in the story when Persephone is kidnapped by Hades
and was brought into the underworld to be his wife. This of course left a grieving mother. In her
depressed state being the goddess of corn and harvest, she left the world cold and that no crops
would grow leaving mankind to fend for themselves. That is one strong bond loosing one person
into leaving a world to starve themselves to death. It got to the point where Zeus the Father of God
and man had to intervene and tell Hades to return her daughter. Next, the universal theme of "The
Seven Ages of Man" and "Demeter" are similar in some aspects and different in others. First and the
most notable similarity is that there is the theme of cycles being present in both stories. The cycle in
the monologue "Seven Ages of Man" is the cycle of life. While in the myth of "Demeter" is the
cycle of seasons. The difference in the two is that the cycle of Seven Ages seem to have an end.
Being that of the man dying of old age and the cycle in Demeter is an ever lasting

Archetypes In Beowulf
Beowulf: A Hero's Tale Retold, a picture book by James Rumford tells the story of Beowulf a
strong–willed and brave young man from the Land of Geats. The pattern of the hero's journey can
clearly be recognised in the text but with a few minor changes.
In the text Beowulf: A Hero's Tale Retold, not all of the archetypes and the stages of the hero's
journey are included, but it still follows the pattern. The hero is Beowulf, he has many of the
characteristics to classify him as a hero such as bravery and courage. We do not know where he
comes from until the call to adventure which is the spreading of the news about Grendel. The
mentor, Hrothgar is introduced and he reminds Beowulf to not take things for granted and to not
climb so high.

Greek Myth Pyramus And Thisbe Retold By Edith Hamilton
In the Greek myth Pyramus and Thisbe retold by Edith Hamilton in Mythology, two lovers end up
dead after one jumps to a wrongful conclusion. Pyramus and Thisbe, two neighbors in forbidden
love, speaking only through a chink in their shared wall, crave sharing a touch. The two lovers plan
to "slip away and steal out through the city into the open country where at last they could be
together in freedom" (Hamilton 134). Thisbe arrives first and suddenly sees a lioness, covered in
blood, coming at her. In her escape, Thisbe drops her cloak. When Pyramus arrives and finds the
bloody cloak he immediately assumes Thisbe murdered by the lioness and plunges his sword into
his side. When Thisbe returns and sees Pyramus dying, she too kills herself out

Macbeth Retold
"Macbeth" and "Macbeth retold" by Mark Brozel, share many comparisons yet have many vital
differences. "Macbeth retold" uses themes similar to the original play but uses a modified plot to
appeal to the more modern audience. Retold utilises settings to create a controversial atmosphere. In
contrast Shakespeare's Macbeth uses an array of themes, a historical plot and language features that
revolve around Elizabethan times. Even though the similarities are quite apparent, there are also
some less obvious differences, the differences improve the sensitive response and the understanding
that a modern audience may consume. The plots are quite similar in both plays, both the film and the

Similar themes are engaged by both Shakespeare and Brozel to suggest feelings in their particular
audiences. Through the connection of Joe and Ella, Brozel investigates the dynamics of a
relationship. Shakespeare uses Macbeth and lady Macbeth to show the role of a lady, showing a
submissive companion, such companion was expected in the Elizabethan civilization, Ella and Lady
Macbeth both have ambitions and both control their husbands, Ella uses a very similar quote "the
milk of human kindness is now tainted" that of Lady Macbeth, the famous quote being "I fear thy
nature, it is to full o'th'milk of human kindness" this quote indicates that she is questioning
Macbeths masculinity. Ella uses her saying for the same reason; Ella does this in order to convince
Joe to commit the murder. Lady M and Ella share some common objectives but Ella's character is
allowed to be more alike to Macbeth due to the time that it was set. In Shakespeare's time women
and men did not have equal rights, let alone allowed to perform on stage, whereas now day's men
and women are equal allowing Ella to be

been around since the third millennium B.C. This is why literature is always a topic that can help us
answer our questions about life. An example would be "The Seven Ages of Man" by Shakespeare
and "Demeter" retold by Edith Hamilton. The Seven Ages of Man helps us understand what phases
men go through throughout their lives. Demeter, on the other hand, is a story on how the seasons
work. These are some of the questions that literature can answer with a couple of lines and stanzas.
Literature has and always will be the most helpful and understanding when it comes to answering
questions about life. In "The Seven Ages of Man" Shakespeare considers the world a stage and men
and women are the actors on the stage of their life. To Shakespeare, they all play seven roles
according to their age. The first stage is infancy, with the whole crying, not being able to speak, and
throws up every 10 minutes. As time goes on the infant grows into a schoolboy, who does not want
to attend school which is the next stage of a man or woman's life. That schoolboy then grows up to
fall in love with a woman and writes poems based on her beauty. The lover grows up and joins the
army like all the other men and fights in wars. Next, he becomes an old wishful family man and

The story is about how Demeter is in charge of crops, and in order for her to continue creating crops
she needs to be happy. All the gods and mortals helped out to keep Demeter happy, but one day her

Greek myths were told to demonstrate beliefs, show models of virtue, or show the consequences of
character flaws. "Perseus," as retold by Edith Hamilton, is a Greek myth written to accept fate. This
purpose is seen in the story through the hero Perseus's journey which consists of the Oracle that told
Perseus's Grandfather's Fate, Perseus's pride–motivated journey, and the fall of the Cruel King.
The story consists in the Oracle giving the prediction of the King Acrisius. After hearing his fate, he

The Little Red Riding Hood
Do you ever wonder why writers retell our childhood tales? Does is ever occur to you that the tales
being retold may be used to tell a reader a deeper message? During our childhood we were told
stories of many sorts that directed a message to the reader, such as "The Little Red Riding Hood" by
Charles Perrault. As children, our parents read this short story in order for us to receive the authors
message to not talk to strangers or else something bad can happen. Children see tales such as "The
Little Red Riding Hood" very differently than adults do. As adults, they see this young attractive
village girl being tricked by the wolf who gathers information he needs to find her grandmother to

One of the symbols that periodically pops up in many of the "Little Red Riding Hood" tales is the
red cap that Little Red wears. The cap is given to her by her grandmother, which symbolizes a
deeper message in the retellings. The story by Perrault really doesn't symbolize anything, mainly
noted that it was given by her grandmother, however, in Angela Carters story it represents the
transition to women hood. Carter states, "She closed the window on the wolves' threnody and took
off her scarlet shawl, the color of poppies, the color of sacrifices, the color of her menses, and since
her fear did her no good, she ceased to be afraid. What shall I do with my shawl? Throw it on the
fire, dear one. You won't need it again" (649). Here Little Red Riding Hood burns her shawl, which
represent her sexuality. Little Red is no longer betrayed as a little girl, she ends her innocence by
burning her shawl which ends her virginity. Symbols can represent more than just a symbolic
meaning but making it important or a lesson taught to the readers. The shawl that represents her
cape which symbolizes the end of her little girl innocence because she gets naked in front of the
wolf and the story goes on to lose her virginity. Another symbol that resonance Little Red in general
is,

Baba Yaga Retold
Baba Yaga retold by Katya Arnold is a wonderful little children's story that uses character and
themes from traditional Slavic shazki (Russian folktales). Principles of Mister Bruno Bettelheim,
can be seen in crafty, respectful little Tishka. This tale of Baba Yaga starts with an elderly couple
who find a child, and raise him. He takes care of them in their old age, then is kidnapped by Baba
Yaga, he outwits her, then is saved with the help of the ugliest goose, and of course lives happily
ever after. Little Tishka is a great role–model, as he is kind, industrious, and cunning. He, himself is

Children need to see, and hear such things, and be shown they have the ability to make, and create.
Schools do an amazing job with reading, writing and arithmetic, so well in fact, parents often
neglect to teach their children other important parts of life, such as building, repairing, and that it is
alright to get dirty. The true theme of this story is the importance of cunning. The story is driven by
this theme. It is when, children who enjoy this story will start to fall in love with Tishka, and strive
to be him. But, before Tishka uses his wit, Baba Yaga does and is rewarded for it. When she fails to
lure in Tishka, with her witch voice, "She ran to the blacksmith, and asked him to cast her a thin
metal tongue so her would sound ... melodious". Now when she called to Tishka, with her
"singsong" voice, her plan was benefited with Tishka, who she prompted put in a bag, to take home
to cook. Baba Yaga gave Tishka to her daughter, so she may cook him, while she ran some errands.
This is Tishka's time to shine. He cleverly plays ignorant of the position to be in to be put in the
oven, and in a traditional Hansel and Gretel style, asks the witch daughter how it is done. During her
demonstration of how to lay on a peel (shovel–like baker's tool), he shoves her into the coals, and
locks the doors to the oven. From there he promptly escapes the house. Trishka takes this
opportunity to be not so clever, because after Baba Yaga eats

The Story Of Cinderella Retold As A Military Engagement
The story of Cinderella retold as a military engagement. Once upon a time, there was a group of
Marine reserves, 4th Division. Being given the some of the toughest training available by what they
thought of as their "evil" superiors. Day after day they had to scrub the barracks, keep the grounds
clean, stand on sentry duty all night long, plus having all their physical training for hours. Word was
received that the 2nd, 5th, and 6th Marine division were to spearhead an attack on a castle which
was being used as an enemy stronghold. The "Big Brass" knew through intelligence that there were
between 5–7,000 troops in that castle, but the 2nd, 5th, and 6th had fought through much worse
before. So no reserves were to be needed. When this news was heard the Marine reserves were
sorely disappointed, for they were anxious to get in on the action. D–day was set for September 2;
H–hour was 2400. Then the news came that the 2nd Marine division could not take part, and it was
D–4. The Marine reserves were to be deployed immediately. At 2200 hours, D–day, they were
completely prepared to attack. Assembled a quarter mile from the castle walls, the Marines had set
up artillery pieces. Giant 155mm M114s, and 105mm M101s were ready to start pounding the walls.
Meanwhile, inside the castle, all of the enemies top military Generals were gathered along with the
King and the Prince to devise a defence plan. There was nothing the Marines wanted to do more
than meet the Prince, who was an

Katherine's Speech In Taming Of The Shrew
The ambiguity of whether Katherine's final speech is authentic, in which she apparently proclaims
and promulgates female submissiveness, has been thought to define the tone of versions of Taming
of the Shrew. However, the attitudes evoked by the monologue can also indicate values of society at
the times which the play is presented. Generally, four main theories have emerged regarding the true
intent behind Katherine's speech (Wikipedia, 2017):
It is sincere and Katherine has been successfully "tamed".
It is sincere, but because Katherine has fallen in love with Petruchio.
It is ironic and is deceiving Petruchio by "parroting a socially acceptable, totally impersonal
catalogue of honours a wife owes her husband" (De Wachter, 2016).
It is neither, following the farcical disposition of the play–within–a–play framing device.
Up until the 20th century, most of the last speeches by Katherine have adhered with the first option,
including the traditional Globe Theatre adaptation. Katherine's acting in the Globe Theatre
production, grounded in her facial expressions and tone of voice, shows sincerity and truthfulness in
her declaration (V.ii). On the basis of this portrayal, it could be said that in a historical Elizabethan
context, audiences would have accepted and deemed the domestication mechanisms and taming
practises employed by Petruchio as normal. In contrast, "in a modern Western society holding
relatively egalitarian views on gender", interpretations of Katherine's address

There is a wedding and a celebration, both representing happy events. There is the kitchen and the
fireplace hearth, a place of suffering for Ashputtle. The theme is supported also by the characters
who symbolize good in the form of Ashputtle and evil represented by the stepsisters. The story uses
symbolism further when the white bird perches on the tree looking down at Ashputtle. It symbolizes
her mother watching over her. Whenever Ashputtle needed something, the bird would support her.
"Each time a little white bird came and perched on the tree, and when Ashputtle made a wish the
little bird threw down what she had wished for." (School, A.H 2012) This symbolizes that the little
bird was sent there to look over her.There is a good example of personification in the story because
the doves can talk. "The two doves were sitting in the hazel tree and they cried out: "Roocoo,
roocoo, There's blood in theshoe. The foot's too long, the foot's too wide, That's not the proper
bride." (School, A.H 2012) The birds understand Ashputtle and follow her commands. "The girl
went out the back door to the garden and cried out..." Metaphor is used also to support the theme,

Comparing Yoshiko Uchima 'And The Wise Old Woman'
The characters that I chose to compare and contrast were the young lord and son and wife. The
young lord is in the story "The Wise Old Woman" which was retold by Yoshiko Uchida. The son and
wife were in the story called "The Old Grandfather and His Little Grandson" which was retold by
Leo Tolstoy. In both stories the young lord and son and wife need to rethink about how they treat
their elders. Both characters both need to rethink about how they treat them because they don't treat
them well. For example the young lord owns a village and he thinks old people are useless and can't
work. So he makes all the people 71 years and older sent to the mountains to die. Then at the end a

Till We Have Faces: A Myth Retold By C. S. Lewis
Beauty is seen as one of the most important aspects of an individual as it the first characteristic
someone notices about a person. Some are treated differently due to his or her aesthetically pleasing
or displeasing face and is most evident in the book Till We Have Faces: A Myth Retold by C. S.
Lewis that takes place approximately in the time period 700 to 450 B.C. In the novel Till We Have
Faces: A Myth Retold by C. S. Lewis the three central female characters, Orual, Psyche, and
Redival, are all regarded to differently based on their physical appearances and this attitude is
prevalent in modern society. Orual, the narrator of the novel, is not treated as a woman due to her
lack of attracting physical features in the novel and would translate into such present day. Other's
perception of Orual's face makes her life difficult as people do not think she is feminine and
unworthy to find a husband. Bardia, one of the guardsmen, makes this clear when he states, "'Why,

Theme Of Loyalty In Macbeth Retold
A question to consider– What will you do if you're most loyal friend oversees you cheating in a test?
Would you bribe them? Murder them? Confess or stay quiet and feel guilty?
Macbeth is a classic when we talk about universal themes. By comparing Shakespeare's Macbeth
and Peter Moffat's adaptation film Macbeth Retold we can definitely see the emphasis on universal
themes of loyalty and guilt. Both texts stress the importance of loyalty as the integral trigger for
guilt, allowing greater insight into universal themes. While Shakespeare employs literary techniques
and various characters, Moffat manipulates motifs and filming techniques and to convey
undermining themes of devotion and guilt. Both composers simultaneously demonstrate the

This is demonstrated through characters such as Lady Macbeth. After King Duncan was murdered,
Lady Macbeth soothes Macbeth of his crimes, " a little water clears us of the deed" such irony keeps
us in suspense whilst making it humorous when we see Lady Macbeth fall into mental ruin.
Continuously Shakespeare emphasises the guilt of her sins with scenes of her washing her hands rid
of the imaginary 'blood'. Such symbolism contrasts with her previous statement of water washing
away the blood indicating that she will never be cleansed of her sins. Furthermore her exclamation
"Out damned spot! Out, I say!" is used to convey high emotion and increase the tension and urgency
as symptoms of instability. We can deduce from such examples that guilt ultimately drives even the
most confident and cunning characters into insanity giving us insight into consequences particular

Taming Of The Shrew Research Paper
Taming of The Shrew is one of Shakespeare's controversial playwrights. If the Taming of the Shrew
(Globe) was to a specific intended audience, it's primary focus is women. Sexism toward women on
how they need be "Tamed" and how they're "Shrews". It has 5 scenes and I'm simply awe–inspired.
Out of all 3 movies I expected more from the spinoffs. The Globe production is the closest to the
Taming of The Shrew you'll get. Even with the words "Shrew" and "Taming", Shakespeare
displayed how women are bad tempered and need not to be made such a recalcitrant kind of being.
The Shakespeare's Retold Taming of The Shrew adaptation was excellent. It is a modern projection
of just the way one could conceivably imagine it today; a car, a mansion, a pool,

Many people in today's society believe that his or her own way of thinking is the best for everyone

his or her terms. Orual from Till We Have Faces: A Myth Retold by C. S. Lewis has a difficult
personality that renders her ability to understand the gods of the 700 to 450 B.C. time period she

Throughout the novel Orual states that she is complaining to the gods for them not helping her with
her relationship with Psyche although it was Orual's own wrongdoings that diminished the
relationship. Orual refuses to believe that Psyche has a god for a husband and is living in his palace
because she cannot see it for herself. When she does see it she blames the gods by stating, "That
moment when I either saw or thought I saw the House– does it tell against the gods or against me?
Would they (if they answered) make it a part of their defense? say it was a sign, a hint, beckoning
me to answer the riddle one way rather than the other? I'll not grant them that. What is the use of a
sign which is itself only another riddle?" (Lewis 133). She blames the gods for answering her
questions about Psyche because they were not straightforward like she wants them to be. Due to
Orual being pigheaded about the gods her actions are affected by her

An Analysis Of 'Lunch, AndFeet In Smoke'
Family stories are described as being the best and worst memories a person has with their loved
ones. These stories are typically retold down through generations. Encylopedia.com states that,
"Almost any bit of lore about a family member or experience qualifies as a family story–as long as it
is significant and has worked its way into the family canon to be told and retold." After reading the
essays, "Lunch" and "Feet in Smoke", the reader comes to realize the privilege and importance of

It also serves as a reminder to cherish our families because tomorrow is never promised to anyone.
In my own objective opinion, " Feet in Smoke" was the most effective essay between the two. "Feet
in Smoke" not only told the tragic story of Worth's electrocution, but it gave a variety of details to
explain what occurred. For example, in the essay the author provides a day by day journal of Worth's
progress. In the essay "Lunch", no supporting details regarding the grandfather's death is given, it
just simply states the afterward result. "Feet in Smoke" is also portrayed as the most effective in my
opinion because the overall purpose is adequately expressed throughout the essay. When Worth first
wakes up, his little brother is sparsely shocked and upset at the change he has gone through. As time
goes on, Worth's little brother realizes the value of his big brother's life and is thankful for the
opportunity to watch Worth defy the odds. For instance, the author recalls, "Without people like
these and doubtless others whom I never met and Shatner didn't mention, there would have been no
miracle." Sullivan uses this quote to refer to the fact that Worth's life is a miraculous matter, even
with the huge mental change he went through. Family stories was the overall theme involved in both

Gourgous woman, blessed with unmersable beauty! A goddes jealous of a mortal women. A mortal

despair, and causes her to resemble her beauty. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Our figurative Language in this scene is "Am I then to be eclipsed by a mortal girl?" (this quote

Psyche being the prime example of a young golaball person, pushing against the mighty storm in her
life to succed in finding her love. This quote backs up the purpose "The girl is destined for the bride

The Glass Slipper : Myths And Myths
What Happened to the Glass Slipper Myths have been a part of humanity since as far back as we can
imagine. Most of the myths or stories you hear today are modern takes on ancient oral tales. These
tales have been retold many times. Each time a myth is retold it is reflective of the time and place it
is being retold. The author and the audience must relate to the story, therefore it will be told in such
a way that the people of its era can easily understand and relate to the theme. Myths are often used
to help us understand many different aspects of our lives. Love, death, hatred, compassion, religion;
these are all topics commonly found in myths. These are also topics which are hard to define.
Rationalized versions of a myth represent the storyteller and audience, their beliefs, traditions, and
everyday lives. Before going into depth on this topic, it is important to understand what the word
"myth" means. The word itself comes from the Greek "mythos" which originally meant "speech" or
"discourse" but it later developed the meaning "fable" or "legend". The word "myth" can now be
defined as a story of forgotten or vague origin, basically religious or supernatural in nature, which
seeks to explain or rationalize one or more aspects of the world or a society.

Orpheus And Greek Mythology
Greek mythology has been retold over and over again throughout the course of mankind, not that,
but it has also been either revised or retold on different accounts. However, in some cases the idea of
Greek mythology is implemented into novels such as Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling and Hunger
Games by Suzanne Collins. These two books are excellent examples of written works with a
reference to Greek mythology. Mythological stories such as the story of Orpheus and Theseus are
used in either story. Regardless, many stories in today's society have many references to mythology.
To begin with, Orpheus is a story in which his wife Eurydice is killed by a snake after being chased
by a man and Orpheus yearns to have her back and the almighty Zeus takes pity upon him and
allows him to bring ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
That condition is that he is not allowed to take a look at his wife until he reaches the sunlight. One
of Orpheus's first encounters in the underworld is with Cerberus, Hades's three–headed dog. In order
to get past Cerberus, Orpheus plays his lyre to soothe him and gets past him. (Insert Harry Potter
Quote). In J.K. Rowling's version, Harry Potter must play an instrument in order to get past Fluffy,
the guard dog. To readers of Harry Potter and Greek mythology, it's evident that J.K. Rowling is
trying to make a connection to Greek mythology. Not only that, but both Orpheus and Harry Potter
have to pass through trials in order to obtain what they want. In this case Orpheus yearns to have
Eurydice returned to him, so he must get past Cerberus. Meanwhile Harry wishes to have the
Philosopher's Stone in order to stop Voldemort from using it. "Before the throne where Hades and
his queen Persephone were seated, sable–clad and stern, Orpheus still played on." (Lang 2) Upon
arriving before Hades's throne, Orpheus makes a compromise with Hades and Hades allows him

The Seven Ages Of Man By Shakespeare And Demeter Retold By...
Often in literary works the author includes a theme to go along with their story. Two examples of
this are the "The Seven Ages of Man" by Shakespeare and "Demeter" retold by Edith Hamilton.
Both literary works follow similar themes throughout their story's. The theme of both of these works
is one of a cycle, "The Seven Ages of Man" being the cycle of becoming a man and the cycle of
seasons in "Demeter". The two cycles can be compared through the point of view they are told from,
the amount of emotion in their stories and the importance of their cycles. The works by Shakespeare
and retold by Edith Hamilton are both written from third person points of view that follow their
themes. "The Seven Ages of Man" is told from a limited third person point of view, "And so he
plays his part" (Shakespeare 19). Shakespeare told the story in a limited third ... Show more content

"The Seven Ages of Man" begins as "All the world's stage,/ And all the men and women merely
players;/ They have their exits and their entrances,/ And one man in his time plays many parts,/His
acts being seven ages (Shakespeare 1–5). The cycle of man beings as an infant in a nurse's arms and
ends as an old decrepit person. The cycle of man is more than that, it is the cycle from birth to death
for all of us. The story of "Demeter" is the cycle of her losing her daughter for four months every
year and her missing her during those times. "Demeter did not refuse, poor comfort though it was
that she must lost Persephone for four months every year and see her young loveliness go down to
the world of the dead" (Hamilton 101–013). As Demeter's daughter goes back to the underworld
each year she stops allowing food to grow. Demeter's cycle of seeing her daughter and losing her for
the four months a year is also the cycle of the seasons, winter when Persephone is in the underworld
and spring, fall and summer while she with

Cupid And Psyche Retold By Sally Benson
Analytic Response of Cupid and PsycheCupid and Psyche retold by Sally Benson is a famous
Ancient Greco–Roman myth. The story begins with a king and queen who have three daughters. The
youngest daughter, Psyche, is of such exceptional beauty that "the poverty of language is unable to
give her due praise." People travel to her, proclaiming the girl is the second coming of Aphrodite,
and make offerings to her instead of the Goddess herself. Aphrodite, the Goddess of love and beauty,
becomes jealous. Aphrodite tells her son Cupid, a young man with golden wingswho represents
unrestrained passion, to go to Psyche, and make her fall in love with some low, ugly person. This

himself and betrayal. When Psyche shows distrust in Cupid and gets a glimpse of what he looks like
against his wishes, Cupid abandons her, showing that love cannot survive if there is notrust between
two people. One quote that supports that they loved each other is, "It is a difficult matter to keep
love imprisoned." After determinedly completing a series of tasks, however, Psyche eventually
regains Cupid and finds eternal bliss, perhaps teaching the lesson that lasting love can only be
attained through dedication and struggle. Psyche promises her new husband, Cupid (Eros), that
she'll never try to see what he looks like. Betrayal; Psyche's jealous sisters eventually convince her
that she's got to get a look at the dude she's sleeping with, and so Psychebreaks her word to Cupid.
On one level, this is betrayal. Cupid said to Psyche after this betrayal "O foolish Psyche! Is it thus

Essay on Animal Farm Retold
Animal Farm Retold
Night had fallen on the animal farm, though no animal was sleeping peacefully. Sleep was
impossible that evening, for in the morning it would be known who was destroying the farm and
who killed the old leader. Once before the farm was in shambles, and the animals looked to their
new leader, Freud, to save them again as he had once before.
Freud was a beautiful pig, a prize–winning pig with snow–white skin and a large round belly. One
day a Raven flew to where Freud was napping on the MacKenzie farm and whispered atrocities to
him, whispered that he would kill his father and have piglets with his mother...and Freud was afraid.
So Freud left home to make his mark on the world. Upon his travels, he heard of a farm ... Show

Tensions were already high on Animal Farm from the previous day's activities. Abraham the snake,
blind but much like the Ravens in predicting the future, was brought before Freud and asked to
reveal the killer of Capitán. Abraham said nothing, and soon Freud was accusing Abraham and
Jakob of conspiring to send Freud to the slaughterhouse. Abraham forced into it, states that Freud
did it, that he is the one who killed Capitán, and he will pay.
Jakob denied being in a conspiracy, but Freud was too angry then to relent. Amalie attempted to
soothe him, telling him Capitán was killed in a slaughterhouse with an odd–looking blood–red roof,
by thieves who stole him for the bacon (literally). Freud was soon quite disturbed, because he was
once in a fight with a boar next to a blood–red slaughterhouse. The boar attacked him, and in
defense he squealed until the butchers came after him and saw the boar he was fighting. Freud ran,
and the boar was slaughtered instantly.
Amalie awakened, only to find Freud pacing the barn. "Oh Amalie", he said, "What if it was me that
killed Capitán? I am the cause of the farm's downfall!"
"Don't be silly!" soothed Amalie. "Capitán was killed by many thieves, not one pig. I know! One
animal returned alive, Bonnie the mare. She used to pull carts from here to the neighboring farms,

Essay on Primo Levi- Pain Retold, Is Pain Redoubled"
"Pain retold, is pain redoubled"
What prompts someone to write about their suffering, and how do they convey a sense of their
emotions to the reader?
Primo Levi is a Holocaust war victim, a survivor from Auschwitz, who for years was plagued by
guilt because he survived – a feeling that is passed on in Jewish tradition, which I understand being
a fellow Jew. Jewish heritage is very important to all Jews; myself included, which is one reason
why I can connect with the poet/author, his poems and his other works. Levi decided to write, rather
than keep in, his feelings, and subsequently wrote both poetry, and a variety of prose, both fiction
and autobiographical.
The emotions in two of his poems, ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Levi places a lot of emphasis on his titles and opening lines. The title 'Shema' is the name of the
most important Jewish prayer. This prayer teaches us to remember always that we are followers of
Gd and that we should not forget it. Literally, Shema means Hear, or Listen – it is a word that all
throughout my history has inspired and healed. Levi uses it convey the importance of his story. It is
a powerful word that carries with it much importance and history. There are several other references
to certain aspects in the Jewish faith, "...When you are in your house...when you go to bed and
when you arise" which reinforce the Jewish ideal that the story should be retold and never
lost.
'The Survivor' refers to the deeds that one must do to survive. "Sometimes...the things you do
to survive are worse than the survival itself" (Se Questo ? Un Uomo). In the first few lines
Levi refers to The Ancient Mariner, a poem where the sailor is doomed to wander the world with the
weight of his crimes around his neck. Levi sees this as a personification of himself– that he will
forever walk the world knowing that he is alive, and the others not. This reference holds so much
importance– the guilt of a previous person transposed into his native language portrays the
outpouring of guilt that he feels, coupled with loneliness and the eternal weariness.

Much Ado About Nothing is a Shakespeare play believed to have been written in 1598 to 1599,
being this old the original play is written in old English which can make it hard to understand
compared to English now. There are many different adaptations of the play that change many
different things from the original such as the Shakespeare Retold version that tries to make the play
modern. There is one by Joss Whedon, best known for directing of the Avengers, this take has a
modern setting but still uses lot of old English, and is in black and white. The last one is a more
classic take with Denzel Washington and Keanu Reeves that sticks almost exactly to the original
play by Shakespeare. The classic version of Much Ado About Nothing is the best version of the

This is the only version that keeps both the old talk and the old setting, the other two adaptation
change to a modern setting and the Shakespeare Retold version even changes to modern talk.
Without the modern change the movie is exactly what the play was meant to be while the modern
takes change the original meaning. Joss Whedon's version adds an alcoholic element that makes the
decisions made seem more like drunken mistakes than love. Then the Shakespeare Retold version
does a fairly good job at keeping the plot, but there were some problems throughout such as Don
John was the bad guy because he loved Hero but her and Claudio were in love, while in the original
Don John was the bad guy because he was jealous that Claudio was the war hero, not him. The
classic version did a great job at keeping to the script and really giving the adaptation the same plot
as the original play while the other two adaptations did not keep the same meaning as the original
play which makes them seem very different from what Shakespeare intended his play to

Thirty More Famous Stories Retold Summary
Great leaps have been made in the field of forensic science since its humble beginnings in 300BC.
However, the surge of advancements within forensic science did not appear until the early 1800s.
That is not say that early uses, of what would later become known as forensic science, were not
impactful. Without these early ideas, we may not be where we are today. Starting with the man who
is generally considered the father of forensic science, Archimedes. Archimedes was an ancient
Greek mathematician, physicist, engineer, inventor and even an astronomer. What made him the
father of forensic science though, is the well–known legend of The Golden Crown. In James

strangulation leaves telltale pressure marks on the throat or damaged cartilage in the neck"
(Karagiozis & Sgaglio 4). We see little advancement after this point until 1813, when a man by the
name of Mathieu Orfila published his work Treatise of General Toxicology, effectively making him
not only a fundamental person in the development of forensic science, but also the father of
toxicology (Forensic Science Timeline 11). Arsenic was a common poison of that era, because it was
not only odorless and tasteless, but it also gave the same symptoms as cholera, a common illness of
the time. Which allowed people to often get away with murder. Orfila was able to successfully

It allows one to look at a situation from a different point of view, and explore other possibilities. It
mostly occurs with kids, because they're not able to understand the logic of a story. Kids get to
define the story with their imagination, and hint to themselves what's right or wrong. It will also
make it easier for the children to comprehend what is happening in the story. Imagination in
fairytales helps develop kids with their creative thinking; that allows them to have better
understanding. There's no restrain on imagination, Sky is the limit. Imagination doesn't just limit
you to visualization, it also contains the other 4 senses smell, hear, touch, and taste. For example in
the three little pigs you can imagine yourself hearing or feeling the wolf huffing and puffing.
Imagination resolves in temporary happiness, and getting away from whatever problems you may
have. Fairytales can help both kids and adults; because it connects to their lives, by putting yourself
in the character's shoes. Imagination will prepare you for future situations that you've never been in,
so when it happens you will be prepared. Also Imagination in Fairytales gives a sense of hope; you
imagine things differently, which enables you to gain confidence. For example if a child were to
have a certain fear in a story, they can imagine a different outcome and view it in a much positive

Some of the most dramatic films inspired by Romeo and Juliet directly used Shakespeare's sonnets
in the films. First of all 1936 brought MGM's black–and–white Romeo and Juliet produced by
Irving G. Thalberg. On the good side, the film was unbelievably luxurious and authentic, spending
close to the equivalent of $80 million dollars (Rosenthal 122). Sadly the young lovers could not be
accurately portrayed by the well–aged actors of 35 and 43 years (Rosenthal 122). As the 19th
century continued, Franco Zeffirelli directed his highly successful 1968 Romeo and Juliet in full
color (Zeffirelli, "Romeo and Juliet"). Contradicting the 1938 rendition, "he chose actors almost as
young as their characters" with 17–year–old Leonard Whiting as Romeo and 15–year–old Olivia
Hussey as Juliet (Rosenthal 128). Despite the controversial wedding–scene nudity, in addition to
some minor changes in Shakespeare's words, the film was still highly successful (Rosenthal 128).
Finally in 1996 came the film William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet. Using Shakespeare's verse in a
modern 1990s Miami–like Verona Beach, Baz Luhrmann, the director, stated, "We wanted to look at
how Shakespeare would've made a movie if he were here today" (qtd. in Rosenthal 130).

Representation Of Women In Taming Of The Shrew By William...
Written in the late 16th century during the Elizabethan era, the Taming of the Shrew is a play by
William Shakespeare. It tells the narrative of Katherine, a termagant, rebellious "shrew", daughter to
father Baptista and sister to unassuming, obedient, attractive Bianca. In it, she is subjected to
methods intended to restrain her aggressive behaviour, or effectively "tame" her, by Petruchio, a
bachelor on the prowl for wealthy women.
Having been performed throughout the centuries to create a historical assortment of varied
adaptations, versions of Taming of the Shrew have changed in accordance with time periods and
related shifting social expectations and culture. Discussed by literary academia extensively, a
particular manifestation reflecting such changes among this cohort of portrayals is the representation
of women. Notably, a clear trend about the societal attitudes at the time of presentation of versions
can be assumed by examining and comparing the depiction of women in two adaptations; the Globe
Theatre's directed by Toby Frow in 2012, a production expressing social norms from the Elizabethan
era, and the BBC's ShakespeaRE–told TV episode directed by David Richards (BBC Retold), set in
modern times. The representation of women in these plays allow it to be concluded that the social
expectations of women have progressed from domestically and professionally limiting to more
supportive and liberal over time, with a specific focus on gender equality. In spite of this,

through this sensationalized work of film through the columns of the architecture destroyed by one

mythology as well as history has reached a wider audience.
The influence for which the set design of The Clash of the Titans was based upon the High Classical
period, where the differing orders were clearly represented. The original I have chosen is one of the
most well known Greek Temples, the Parthenon; it is the most influential of the architectural
monuments as well as one of the most admired. The Parthenon was built as a temple to honor the
Goddess of War, Wisdom, City and Civilization, Athena; she was deemed the protector of Athens,
where the temple is located. The construction of this temple at the Acropolis began around 490 BCE
and ended in 438 BCE. The Parthenon itself was a composite of both Doric and Ionic orders as it
was located in between the eastern and western regions of Greece. The Doric order of the Parthenon
is what will be stressed for its significance, as it related to the Temple located in Argos.

Many times stories get retold but often times get a different twist when they are retold. The story
changes so much over time it isn't the same as it started after 3 changes. Once a story is changed it
can never be repeated the same due to individual bias. Most people do what they want with stories
making them their own. Once a story is solidified to someone's liking they keep it that way and it
can last for a long time till the story is changed and retold to the point it could become a whole new

Till We Have Faces: A Myth Retold by CS Lewis
The first person narrative in the ancient kingdom of Glome, a land ruled by a tyrannical king and
religious goddess Ungit. Narrated by Princess (later Queen) Orual. The first section of this novel
presents itself as an open complaint against the gods, particularly the god of the Grey Mountain,
who brought Orual such pain and distress over the years, yet offer no answers or explanations to
justify the suffering. Orual says she had suffered much at the hands of the gods, but what most
torments her is the loss of her previous sister Istra (Psyche), in which loss Orual shares
responsibility and blame: this loss of Psyche results primarily from Orual's jealously and rage at the

There, it is believed, she will be devoured by the holy Shadowbrute; presumably, the curse of
sickness and famine will then be lifted from the land. Strangely, though, Psyche relates to Orual
only days before the sacrifice that she has always felt a certain vague longing for the Grey
Mountain, even for the holy Shadowbrute For as long as she can remember, Psyche has felt herself
somehow destined for a land beyond the Grey Mountain, far from Glome. In fact, she has never felt
truly at home in Glome. This aspect of religious belief – longing for another world– is once used by
Lewis elsewhere as proof that humankind was created for another world. Orual, in typical fashion,
interprets Psyche's longing for the far kingdom as a threat against their own relationship, giving in to
the omnipresent urge to selfish, and self–centered, love. "'Ah Psyche,' I said. 'Have I made you so
little happy as that?' 'No, no, no,' she said. 'You don't understand…It was when I was the
happiest that I longed you most…Somewhere else there must be more of it. Everything
seemed to be saying, Psyche, come! But I couldn't (not yet) come and I didn't know where I was to
come to…I felt like a bird in a cage when the other birds of its kind are flying home.'"

Lewis. Dietrich Bonhaffer , the German theologian martyred for his
