Friendship Between George Washington And Marquis De Lafayette
Throughout history, friendships have formed amongst important leaders that in turn propelled history into greatness. Starting in the Greek and Roman
times, Roman Emperor Octavian with best friend and defense minister Marcus Agrippa worked together to develop Rome into a major global power.
Similarly, the friendship between Meriwether Lewis and William Clark allowed for the exploration and development of western America as it is
formed now ("10 of History's Greatest Bromances", Mandatory.com). Even the friendship between activists Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady
Stanton propelled the women's rights movement to equality (Bower, Life123.com). But one friendship that is a little less known, but seemingly the
most important to history, is that between George Washingtonand Marquis de Lafayette. This powerful friendship allowed for the successful
outcome of the American Revolution by providing strong leadership and wisdom to American armies. This pair of generals changed the course of
history simply through their bond as friends. Marie Joseph Paul Yves Gilbert du Motier, or Marquis de Lafayette, was born on September 6th, 1757.
Unfortunately, by the age of 12, Lafayette's entire family had passed away and he was left an orphan – but an orphan with a sizeable inheritance.
Following in his father's footsteps, a royal navy general, when Lafayette turned 16 he joined the Royal Army in France. Two years later he married

Marquis De Lafayette: The American Hall Of Fame
Benito Mussolini once said, "War alone brings up to their highest tension all human energies and imposes the stamp of nobility upon the peoples
who have the courage to make it." People hear "Nobility" and think this is the way to describe someone who has earned top honors from the highest
of the land. This is not the case. The American Hall of Fame association has recently created a "Nobility" award to any historical figure, living or
dead, who has done this country a great deed. Marquis de Lafayette, American Revolution hero, deserves the "Nobility" award for numerous reasons,
including gathering French aid to win the American revolution despite being threatened by the king of Great Britain.

Comparing Dr. Moreau And The Beetle
In two fin de siГЁcle novels, H.G. Wells's The Island of Dr. Moreau (1896) and Robert Marsh's The Beetle (1897), sadism plays a central role.
However, while The Island of Dr. Moreau and The Beetle both include characters that exemplify sadism, the novels differ greatly in the characters'
portrayals due to the sadistic characters' gender. The sadistic Moreau is presented as Machiavellian tyrant. However, because Moreau's gender aligns
with ideas of gendered sadism, the novel does not portray him as degenerate, monstrous, nor ambiguous. In contrast, The Beetle tampers with the
sadistic female body, which leads to doubt of her true sex and form and leaves her as an undecidable, degenerate monstrosity. The sadistic characters'
descriptions in The Island of Dr. Moreau and The Beetle... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
A perplexing amalgamation of culture and nature led to the pathologizing of sexual perversion by 19th century "sexologists" (Peakman 1). Richard von
Krafft–Ebing first introduced the term 'sadism' in his book Psychopathic Sexualis (1886). Sadism includes the experience of mental and physical
suffering as pleasurable (Holguin 1285). Later defined as one of the "modern perversions" by Sigmund Freud, it was traditionally seen as existing
within the male domain (Schaffner 182), and as a type of "male sexual cruelty" (Wayne 542). Furthering Krafft–Ebing's work, Freud suggests that
sadism's "life preserving aggression" in males is natural and biologically determined (Holguin 1286). In contrast, masochism, essentially the opposite of
sadism, can be seen as

The opening line on Marat/Sade posters read, "We wants our rights and we don't care how. We want our revolution NOW". The disturbing picture
alongside portrays a blood–soaked arm grasping an equally crimson knife from which blood drips. Ever since its first English–language production, in
1964, Peter Weiss' play has proved a confronting experience for audiences, and Barry French's production at the New Theatre does not disappoint. A
play–within–a–play written by the infamous Marquis de Sade during his imprisonment in an asylum, French sought to represent a re–enactment of the

Immediately afterwards she is seen calling for Simmone, her attendant and lover to calm her itching skin with cold water. Despite being passionately
committed to collective action for social reform, her physical handicaps serve as a reminder that her character is merely an extension of Sade's writing
and any further personal action requires his "permission". In contrast, Sade often remained silent save for his occasional polarizing arguments with
Marat which solidified his position as a creator rather than just an another character. Furthermore, his ability to physically pace and project a louder
presence in contrast to Marat within the performance space highlights an another aspect of power separation between the two central characters.
I believe that such displays of power inequality amongst characters such as Sade and Marat could be further explored through the cage like setting
stated earlier. Upon entering the intimate yet slightly claustrophobic theatre, the audience and I were faced with a unique and privileged seating
arrangement where three rows of seating surrounded a central metal cage. The cage is reminiscent of a prison compound with high iron fences that

Marquis De Lafayette : A French General And Hero Of The...
Marie Joseph Paul Yves Roch Gilbert du Motier or Marquis de Lafayette was a French general and hero of the American Revolution. Excited by the
ideas of the American Revolution, Lafayette served alongside General George Washington during the revolution. Often known as a "hero of two
worlds", Lafayette gained much of his fame by successfully co–leading the American forces in the siege of Lord Cornwallis' British armies at
Yorktown. This success is what helped America win the Revolutionary War, by forcing the British to surrender and grant America their freedom.
Marquis de Lafayette was born into the Mortier family, a family of French aristocrats, on September 6, 1757, in Chavaniac, France. When
Lafayette was only two years old, his father was killed in a battle during the Seven Years War. Then, in 1770 Lafayette lost his mother, along with
his grandfather a few weeks later. Consequently, 12 year old Lafayette inherited a majority of his family's wealth. He went on to spend 3 years
studying at the Collage du Plessis, a distinguished secondary school in Paris. Later in 1771, he joined the French Army. However, Lafayette was
forced to retire 5 years later, due to strict military reforms. In 1773, Marquis de Lafayette married the 14 year old, Marie Adrienne Francoise de
Noailles, who was a member of a prominent French family. At this point in time he had not yet shown a serious interest in the political conflicts that
were occurring under the reign of King Louis XVI, but he also

Marquis De Lafayette Characteristics
Marquis de Lafayette was one of the biggest figures in American Revolution history. Lafayette was a volunteer soldier in the American Revolution,
he came with the sole purpose of avenging his father's death against the English in the French and Indian wars. He soon grew to believe in the
patriot's beliefs of freedom and equality. Lafayette said, " Defender of Liberty I idolize, myself more free than anyone, as coming as a friend to offer
my services to this intriguing republic... "(Vowell 16). He also showed "great zeal for the cause of liberty"(Vowell 1) which later helped him move up
through the ranks to the position of major general. The young Frenchman's first battle was the Battle of Brandywine, where he fought alongside the
prestigious George Washington. In this battle he was shot in the leg and had to leave; but he cut short his recovery time so he could continue
fighting. Lafayette's fervor for the war won him the highly desired trust of General George Washington, which then led him to be one of the most
esteemed generals of all time. His dedication inspired many other French soldiers to join the American cause. He was both a vocal defender and a
great example by his leadership and courage in the Revolutionary War. His most important battle was the Battle of Yorktown in 1781. With his royal

The Persecution And Assassination Of Jean Paul Marat
In The Persecution and Assassination of Jean–Paul Marat as Performed by the Inmates of the Asylum of Charenton under the Direction of the Marquis
De Sade, Peter Weiss placed a historic revolutionary setting inside of a chaotic insane asylum. Sex and violence dominate revolution, madness blends
with reason, and political ideologies battle head–to–head while the plot unfolds. Marat/Sade focuses on a play authored by the Marquis de Sade inside
of the play itself. Weiss, writing in the voice of Sade, could not ignore the sexual perversions of the historical figure, which allowed for the shocking
violence and sexualization that can be found within the play. Under the inflated political rhetoric among the two leading ideologists, Jean–Paul Marat
and the Marquis de Sade, the story is one about the French Revolution. Specifically, Marat/Sade tells the story of the murder of Marat by Charlotte
Corday.
Sade's characterization of Corday as the sexualized female begins with the Herald's introduction of her. His description predominately includes her
physical features. Her "phenomenally pulchritudinous" appearance includes stylish shoes and a cloth around her neck. Only a thin veil covers her
otherwise exposed breasts. These images appear in the first introduction of Corday and create conflict for the woman portraying her, as well as affect
Sade's character of Corday in her carrying out of the plot to kill Marat. However, the effect on the latter is not a negative one. The sexual

One of them is the theme of power and objectification. The sadistic pictures that the Marquis collects in are is the ultimate example of the woman as
object and the man as powerful manipulator.
Influenced by the writings of the Marquis de Sade, Carter illustrates his idea that sex is often inextricably linked with violence. In his Bloody Chamber
the Marquis has not only a collection of violent pornography and but this is also the place where he tortures his wives. He finds pleasure in violence; he
is in love withthe pain he causes to them.
The bloody chamber is a place of both violence and enlightenment, as the the heroine discovers the true nature of her husband's desires and her own
inevitable fate.
The Marquis represents the dominant scopic position within patriarchal society: the active, gazing position. As an expression of sexuality, it refers to
sexual pleasure derived from looking at erotic objects: erotic photographs, pornography etc.

Essay on Marquis de Sade: Madman or Genius
The Marquis de Sade was a controversial writer from the Enlightenment period. His works were highly controversial at the time although he did
acquire some sort of a cult following. The Marquis de Sade uses a variety of techniques in his writing to great effect. The passage being analysed is an
extract from The Philosophy of the Bedroom published in 1795.
Throughout the passage the style of writing comes across as quite argumentative and analytical, yet the content and his ideas, at the time of writing,
would have been quite outrageous. He offers to `... analyse modesty...' (p. 131) giving the impression that he will go about the whole business in
something of a scientific way. However, the extremeness of his ideas makes one wonder... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Throughout the passage de Sade uses quite dramatic language to engage the reader. There is talk of freedom and captivity, and of demolishing
amongst other dramatic words. It is quite captivating to read and you get caught up not necessarily in what he is saying, but how he is saying it. At
the same time you can't help but absorb even a little of what de Sade is trying to convey. This technique would have been quite helpful to de Sade as
the church was still a highly respected and perhaps feared body at the time, yet he attacks it. However, readers may put up with such scandalous ideas
as he wrote about them in such an exciting and engaging manner.
There is also a use of repetition in the Marquis de Sade's passage, which serves to emphasis and highlight his points. Words like extinguish and vent
appear in the passage on occasion. These words seem to conjure up images and ideas of extreme heat, in de Sade's view probably caused by sexual
passion. He urges people to `...vent on the objects...' (p. 132) and basically not to bottle things up. Heated and passionate language is often used in
what may be an attempt to arouse the audience. It also draws attention to de Sade's preoccupation with sex.
The words lusts and desires are also repeated on occasion, drawing attention to the erotic nature of the passage. This emphasises the point that de Sade
is trying to make about sexual attraction being natural. By constantly using those words we get the sense that these

The Marquis de Sade was an author in France in the late 1700s. His works were infamous in their time, giving Sade a reputation as an adulterer, a

his way of life and in two of his literary characters, Justine and Julliette.

He urges women to copulate as actively as they can, so that, "powered by their hitherto untapped sexual energy they will be able to fuck their

Women see themselves in the reflection form Sade's looking glass of misanthropy. Critics say that Sade offers male fantasies about women in great
variety, along with a number of startling insights. He is said to put pornography in the service of women (Carter 36).
The Justine series, consisting of six editions, was one of the most infamous and well known series written by Sade. While the series had several
editions, the storyline remained basically the same throughout, though becoming more verbose in each edition.
Two characters emerge from the Justine novels: Justine and Juliette, who are sisters orphaned at an early age. These two characters represent the
opposite poles of womanhood in Sade's mind. Justine is the innocent, naive type who gets mistreated throughout her life. Juliette is Sade's ideal woman,
being uninhibited in her sexual conduct and in her life, murdering and copulating at whim. She, naturally, does well in life (Lynch 41–42).

The American revolution is full of many bright and unique people. Without these individuals, the war could have had a more negative outcome. The

Allegory Of Mrs. Dubose
Jared Crane Mid Term Essay Intro to Literature 2200 Instructor: Russell Burrows October 4, 2017 A close reading of Mrs. Henry Lafayette
Dubose. Mrs. Dubose is an allegory that is found throughout To Kill A Mocking Bird. People cannot be judged on first impressions; if we scratch
the surface we'll find that they are better or worse than first thought. They may have redeeming qualities or skeletons in their closets. Mrs. Dubose
was first seen as a grouchy, sharp tongued racist who was steeped in traditionalism. As the story progresses she transforms into a resilient fighter,
full of courage. Scout see's Mrs. Dubose as the mean old lady up the street (39). She refers to her age as "...close on to a hundred..." (103). When
Jem and Scouts fixation on Boo Radley ended and they wanted to venture downtown, they couldn't avoid Mrs. Dubose's house anymore. They could
have walked around, but it would have added an extra mile to their trip and they had to grow up sometime (114). Mrs. Dubose is a Southern institution
down to her name. The name Dubose has French origins, it means by or in a wood. The Name Henry is also French, but it has noble origins. The
Normans introduced the name to England and it was used by eight kings, ending with Henry VIII. Lafayette, another French name, means birch tree
and flatterer in England. It's very ironic that a woman with the last name that

The War Experience in Italian Film Essay
The War Experience in Italian Film
The experience of war as it is presented throughout the history of Italian cinema is a uniquely composite display of historical reverence and cultural
consecration. An analysis of this experience in all of its manifestations can be discerned from the evaluation of one or several works from the

War II period within the corpus of the Italian cultural signification. It follows from this approach that the essence of the results of this analysis will
then represent an appreciative grasp of the aforementioned corpus. The war experience in Italian film can be succinctly considered through a detailed

The film, which contains moments ranging from dark comedy to poignant melodrama, also relies on stock documentary footage and intimate battle
sequences to supplement the enthralling story. The narrative progression of the film carries through effortlessly, and is accompanied by rhetorically
inventive dialogue and character associations that operate on the allegorical level. For instance, one scene in which a group of Nazi officials murder a
sheep operates metaphorically to link Christianity to communism while simultaneously equating the fascists with butchers of the innocent. (Forgacs
9–45)
Concomitant with this method of scrutinizing the film, many of the characters' names are subject to onomastics. Giorgio Manfredi, who later in the
film changes his identity to Giovanni Episcopo, is switched from association with St. George (typically shown slaying a dragon) to St. John (the
martyred priest of ancient Rome). The priest, Pietro Pellegrini, is translated as
Peter Pilgrim. He is associated, by virtue of his name, with the side of good and in the dominion of religion represents a modern analog of St. Peter (A
martyr who was put to death during the Roman persecutions). Giussepina
(Pina), is the female form of Joseph, who was the patron of the Universal church. Lastly there is Romoletto, the neighborhood child that sabotages the

When Georges Bataille first published The Story of the Eye in 1928, anonymously and "in a limited edition of 134 copies" (Lechte 118), he had been

It executes Bataille's need to express through his writings what could not be contained by the cultural system within which he lived and worked, and it
expresses his need to recognize the existence of what the system cannot contain––the vision of that other eye out of which he looks at the world. Thus
rather than dismiss this text as juvenile or adolescent writing, readers should be aware of it as an early declaration of identity formation, one affected
by actual events in his life and, although overwhelmingly privileging his sexual obsessions, one which contains nevertheless the core of his thinking.
In Bataille's profession of librarianship, cataloging or classification of material becomes obsessive to the extent that every item within a collection
must have a named place or it cannot have a place in the collection, for only by being inserted into a named placed within a system can an object be
curated or cared for. Bataille captures the intention of this systematizing in his Documents essay on "The Use Value of D.A.F. de Sade" when he
writes: "the work of philosophy as well as science or common sense ...has always had as its goal the establishment of the homogeneity of the world
[through]...the identification of all the elements of which the world is composed" (Visions 96). To know or identify an object such as a coin restricts

her to lose her American colonies and he had come to help the Americans win, gain their independence, and lower the pride of the insolent English
nation" (Woodward 4). Thus, he sailed in his new boat Victoire onto the shore of South Carolina, along with fourteen other French army members, with
plans in becoming a volunteer officer for the American revolutionary army. The marquis pursued his ambitions and left his home in secrecy even after
his father–in–law, the Duc de Noailles, forbid him to leave France. Lafayette's strong will and excitement to be in charge of an army was too much to

America gaining its independence. Marquis de Lafayette was born on September 6, 1757, in Chavaniac, in the province of Auvergne in south
central France. By the age of two Marquis lost his father who was a Colonel of grenadiers when he was killed at the battle of Minden in 1759

Analysis Of De Sade 's ' The Misfortunes Of Virtue '
Whether or not you accede with the themes in Marquis De Sade's "Misfortunes of Virtue", there is no doubt his works are some of the most inciting
to have ever been constructed. Although Marquis debates several beliefs in his works, he focuses on one in "The Misfortunes of Virtue" that seems
shaky. The theory of Vice versus Virtue in the words of De Sade has no logical aspect to it, at least to a "down to earthhuman being". De Sade once
said," In order to know virtue, we must first acquaint ourselves with vice." De Sade's conception of vice and virtue is nowhere near what we perceive it
to be. Though, through the utilization of multiple characters, his neutral stance and erroneous logic, we as readers can sift through the differences and
visually perceive the authentic meaning of vice and virtue by using common day human logic and experiences to construct a more up to date
version of De Sade's "Vice and Virtue". Throughout De Sade's "Misfortunes of Virtue" his writing is meant to have a neutral stance and come off in
a way that De Sade lives vicariously through the characters in order to display his beliefs. With his characters, De Sade argues the theory of Vice
versus Virtue and attempts to make the example that there simply is no difference between the two. De Sade believes "There is only human kind's
selfish goal of self–preservation and seeking pleasure". According to Webster's dictionary, virtue is defined as: the moral excellence of a person. A

Friendship Between George Washington And Marquis De Lafayette

  • 1. Friendship Between George Washington And Marquis De Lafayette Throughout history, friendships have formed amongst important leaders that in turn propelled history into greatness. Starting in the Greek and Roman times, Roman Emperor Octavian with best friend and defense minister Marcus Agrippa worked together to develop Rome into a major global power. Similarly, the friendship between Meriwether Lewis and William Clark allowed for the exploration and development of western America as it is formed now ("10 of History's Greatest Bromances", Mandatory.com). Even the friendship between activists Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton propelled the women's rights movement to equality (Bower, Life123.com). But one friendship that is a little less known, but seemingly the most important to history, is that between George Washingtonand Marquis de Lafayette. This powerful friendship allowed for the successful outcome of the American Revolution by providing strong leadership and wisdom to American armies. This pair of generals changed the course of history simply through their bond as friends. Marie Joseph Paul Yves Gilbert du Motier, or Marquis de Lafayette, was born on September 6th, 1757. Unfortunately, by the age of 12, Lafayette's entire family had passed away and he was left an orphan – but an orphan with a sizeable inheritance. Following in his father's footsteps, a royal navy general, when Lafayette turned 16 he joined the Royal Army in France.

  • 3. Marquis De Lafayette: The American Hall Of Fame Benito Mussolini once said, "War alone brings up to their highest tension all human energies and imposes the stamp of nobility upon the peoples who have the courage to make it." People hear "Nobility" and think this is the way to describe someone who has earned top honors from the highest of the land. This is not the case. The American Hall of Fame association has recently created a "Nobility" award to any historical figure, living or dead, who has done this country a great deed. Marquis de Lafayette, American Revolution hero, deserves the "Nobility" award for numerous reasons, including gathering French aid to win the American revolution despite being threatened by the king of Great Britain.

  • 4. Comparing Dr. Moreau And The Beetle In two fin de siГЁcle novels, H.G. Wells's The Island of Dr. Moreau (1896) and Robert Marsh's The Beetle (1897), sadism plays a central role. However, while The Island of Dr. Moreau and The Beetle both include characters that exemplify sadism, the novels differ greatly in the characters' portrayals due to the sadistic characters' gender. The sadistic Moreau is presented as Machiavellian tyrant. However, because Moreau's gender aligns with ideas of gendered sadism, the novel does not portray him as degenerate, monstrous, nor ambiguous. In contrast, The Beetle tampers with the sadistic female body, which leads to doubt of her true sex and form and leaves her as an undecidable, degenerate monstrosity. The sadistic characters' descriptions in The Island of Dr. Moreau and The Beetle... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... A perplexing amalgamation of culture and nature led to the pathologizing of sexual perversion by 19th century "sexologists" (Peakman 1). Richard von Krafft–Ebing first introduced the term 'sadism' in his book Psychopathic Sexualis (1886). Sadism includes the experience of mental and physical suffering as pleasurable (Holguin 1285). Later defined as one of the "modern perversions" by Sigmund Freud, it was traditionally seen as existing within the male domain (Schaffner 182), and as a type of "male sexual cruelty" (Wayne 542). Furthering Krafft–Ebing's work, Freud suggests that sadism's "life preserving aggression" in males is natural and biologically determined (Holguin 1286).

The disturbing picture alongside portrays a blood–soaked arm grasping an equally crimson knife from which blood drips. Ever since its first English–language production, in 1964, Peter Weiss' play has proved a confronting experience for audiences, and Barry French's production at the New Theatre does not disappoint. A play–within–a–play written by the infamous Marquis de Sade during his imprisonment in an asylum, French sought to represent a re–enactment of the twilight hours of the French Revolutionary ending with Marat's murder.

Immediately afterwards she is seen calling for Simmone, her attendant and lover to calm her itching skin with cold water. Despite being passionately committed to collective action for social reform, her physical handicaps serve as a reminder that her character is merely an extension of Sade's writing and any further personal action requires his "permission". In contrast, Sade often remained silent save for his occasional polarizing arguments with Marat which solidified his position as a creator rather than just an another character. Furthermore, his ability to physically pace and project a louder presence in contrast to Marat within the performance space highlights an another aspect of power separation between the two central characters. I believe that such displays of power inequality amongst characters such as Sade and Marat could be further explored through the cage like setting stated earlier. Upon entering the intimate yet slightly claustrophobic theatre, the audience and I were faced with a unique and privileged seating arrangement where three rows of seating surrounded a central metal cage. The cage is reminiscent of a prison compound with high iron fences that have wrapped around the stage except for a single entrance/exit in a far corner. It was much later in the performance did I realize that French usage of literary place was ingenious. The outer action consist of the Coulmiers and the Parisian elite (the audience) while the ...

  • 6. Marquis De Lafayette : A French General And Hero Of The... Marie Joseph Paul Yves Roch Gilbert du Motier or Marquis de Lafayette was a French general and hero of the American Revolution. Excited by the ideas of the American Revolution, Lafayette served alongside General George Washington during the revolution. Often known as a "hero of two worlds", Lafayette gained much of his fame by successfully co–leading the American forces in the siege of Lord Cornwallis' British armies at Yorktown. This success is what helped America win the Revolutionary War, by forcing the British to surrender and grant America their freedom. Marquis de Lafayette was born into the Mortier family, a family of French aristocrats, on September 6, 1757, in Chavaniac, France.

Later in 1771, he joined the French Army. However, Lafayette was forced to retire 5 years later, due to strict military reforms. In 1773, Marquis de Lafayette married the 14 year old, Marie Adrienne Francoise de Noailles, who was a member of a prominent French family.

The Persecution And Assassination Of Jean Paul Marat In The Persecution and Assassination of Jean–Paul Marat as Performed by the Inmates of the Asylum of Charenton under the Direction of the Marquis De Sade, Peter Weiss placed a historic revolutionary setting inside of a chaotic insane asylum. Sex and violence dominate revolution, madness blends with reason, and political ideologies battle head–to–head while the plot unfolds. Marat/Sade focuses on a play authored by the Marquis de Sade inside of the play itself. Weiss, writing in the voice of Sade, could not ignore the sexual perversions of the historical figure, which allowed for the shocking violence and sexualization that can be found within the play. Under the inflated political rhetoric among the two leading ideologists, Jean–Paul Marat and the Marquis de Sade, the story is one about the French Revolution. Specifically, Marat/Sade tells the story of the murder of Marat by Charlotte Corday. Sade's characterization of Corday as the sexualized female begins with the Herald's introduction of her. His description predominately includes her physical features. Her "phenomenally pulchritudinous" appearance includes stylish shoes and a cloth around her neck. Only a thin veil covers her otherwise exposed breasts. These images appear in the first introduction of Corday and create conflict for the woman portraying her, as well as affect Sade's character of Corday in her carrying out of the plot to kill Marat.

It is quite captivating to read and you get caught up not necessarily in what he is saying, but how he is saying it. At the same time you can't help but absorb even a little of what de Sade is trying to convey. This technique would have been quite helpful to de Sade as the church was still a highly respected and perhaps feared body at the time, yet he attacks it. However, readers may put up with such scandalous ideas as he wrote about them in such an exciting and engaging manner. There is also a use of repetition in the Marquis de Sade's passage, which serves to emphasis and highlight his points. Words like extinguish and vent appear in the passage on occasion. These words seem to conjure up images and ideas of extreme heat, in de Sade's view probably caused by sexual passion. He urges people to `...vent on the objects...' (p. 132) and basically not to bottle things up. Heated and passionate language is often used in what may be an attempt to arouse the audience. It also draws attention to de Sade's preoccupation with sex. The words lusts and desires are also repeated on occasion, drawing attention to the erotic nature of the passage.

While the series had several editions, the storyline remained basically the same throughout, though becoming more verbose in each edition.

The narrative progression of the film carries through effortlessly, and is accompanied by rhetorically inventive dialogue and character associations that operate on the allegorical level. For instance, one scene in which a group of Nazi officials murder a sheep operates metaphorically to link Christianity to communism while simultaneously equating the fascists with butchers of the innocent.

In Bataille's profession of librarianship, cataloging or classification of material becomes obsessive to the extent that every item within a collection must have a named place or it cannot have a place in the collection, for only by being inserted into a named placed within a system can an object be curated or cared for.

In fact, the bond was so strong, that at the Battle of Valley Forge in the winter of 1777, when a cluster of jealous officers interested in trying to have a sentiment developed against Washington to have Congress relieve him of the command of theContinental Army, they were unable to gain the support of Lafayette, who in turn wrote a long letter to Washington in which he pledged his loyalty to the General. Washington replied to Lafayette in a letter that was marked by his sincere appreciation. In due course the proposed scheme of the few officers failed, as it was doomed to fail from the beginning. The soldiers and officers at Valley Forge were fiercely loyal to their commander, and the members of Congress realized that Washington was a strong and patriotic leader. Following the harsh and bitter winter in Valley Forge, Lafayette kept the colonists' spirits high and burnished his credentials as an intelligent leader whilst helping to draw more French resources to the colonial side. In May 1778, he outsmarted the British soldiers sent to capture him at Bunker Hill– which was later renamed Lafayette Hill– and rallied a Continental attack at Monmouth Courthouse to force a stalemate. Lafayette repeatedly traveled back and forth to France to press Louis XVI for more aid, and in return he assumed increased military responsibility upon his return to battle. As commander of the ...

Although Marquis debates several beliefs in his works, he focuses on one in "The Misfortunes of Virtue" that seems shaky. The theory of Vice versus Virtue in the words of De Sade has no logical aspect to it, at least to a "down to earthhuman being". De Sade once said," In order to know virtue, we must first acquaint ourselves with vice." De Sade's conception of vice and virtue is nowhere near what we perceive it to be. Though, through the utilization of multiple characters, his neutral stance and erroneous logic, we as readers can sift through the differences and visually perceive the authentic meaning of vice and virtue by using common day human logic and experiences to construct a more up to date version of De Sade's "Vice and Virtue". Throughout De Sade's "Misfortunes of Virtue" his writing is meant to have a neutral stance and come off in a way that De Sade lives vicariously through the characters in order to display his beliefs.

Thomas Jefferson also helped him write it. Lafayette was extremely abolitionist. He firmly believed that slavery should be ended as quickly as possible, even though many global economies were based off of the labor system. He proposed slowly freeing all slaves as the agrarian producers were able to adjust to their work systems being rapidly changed from slavery to paid tenants living on the land they worked on. Additionally, he was a firm believer in a constitutional monarchy, where the assembly of representatives of the people had a majority of the power to govern the nation, while being formally lead by a king.
