Chaucers Canterbury Tales Essay - The Wife of Bath and the Ideal Woman

The Wife of Bath and the Ideal Woman       The Wife of Bath is one of Chaucer's most memorable characters. In the "General Prologue," she is described as a somewhat deaf, voluptuous, married woman. She is a clothing maker, has a gap tooth, the sign of a lust nature, and she wears brilliant red stockings. Her fantastic description alone sparks interest, a spark that is later fanned into fire when her prologue is read. The Wife's outlandish description of her marriages makes her unique and memorable among the pilgrims in The Canterbury Tales, most of which are identified by conventional occupation. Chaucer has deliberately made the Wife a notable character by giving her life many unconventional twists. Her marriages are contradictory, and her personality is at odds with the medieval view of women Chaucer creates her in order to show that this woman, however rare and unique she is, cannot openly struggle for equality and independence. Her prologue gives the reader the notion that, when Alison is talking about herself, "It's a bit like an anti-confession, with her saying this is what I'm like, there's no way I'm going to change (Beer 8). This is her initial portrayal, but at the end of her prologue, the Wife of Bath succumbs to the pressure of society, conforms and becomes the ideal medieval wife.    The Wife's marriages, when viewed in order, show her struggle for power and her surrender to authority. In the first few lines the reader learns that Alison was married five times. Her five husbands represent the progression of a woman from a power-hungry girl to a submissive spouse. Her five husbands can be divided into two groups, the first group consisting of the Wife's first three husbands. Of this first group she says, "Th... ... Mark. "The Wife of Bath and Women's Power."

Second Foundation 17. War

The mayor of the Foundation brushed futilely at the picket fence of hair that rimmed his skull. He sighed. â€Å"The years that we have wasted; the chances we have thrown away. I make no recriminations, Dr. Darell, but we deserve defeat.† Darell said, quietly, â€Å"I see no reason for lack of confidence in events, sir.† â€Å"Lack of confidence! Lack of confidence! By the Galaxy, Dr. Darell, on what would you base any other attitude? Come here-â€Å" He half-led half-forced Darell toward the limpid ovoid cradled gracefully on its tiny force-field support. At a touch of the mayor's hand, it glowed within – an accurate three-dimensional model of the Galactic double-spiral. â€Å"In yellow,† said the mayor, excitedly, â€Å"we have that region of Space under Foundation control; in red, that under Kalgan.† What Darell saw was a crimson sphere resting within a stretching yellow fist that surrounded it on all sides but that toward the center of the Galaxy. â€Å"Galactography,† said the mayor, â€Å"is our greatest enemy. Our admirals make no secret of our almost hopeless, strategic position. Observe. The enemy has inner lines of communication. He is concentrated; can meet us on all sides with equal ease. He can defend himself with minimum force. â€Å"We are expanded. The average distance between inhabited systems within the Foundation is nearly three times that within Kalgan. To go from Santanni to Locris, for instance, is a voyage of twenty-five hundred parsecs for us, but only eight hundred parsecs for them, if we remain within our respective territories-â€Å" Darell said, â€Å"I understand all that, sir.† â€Å"And you do not understand that it may mean defeat.† â€Å"There is more than distance to war. I say we cannot lose. It is quite impossible.† â€Å"And why do you say that?† â€Å"Because of my own interpretation of the Seldon Plan.† â€Å"Oh,† the mayor's lips twisted, and the hands behind his back flapped one within the other, â€Å"then you rely, too, on the mystical help of the Second Foundation.† â€Å"No. Merely on the help of inevitability – and of courage and persistence.† And yet behind his easy confidence, he wondered- What if- Well- What if Anthor were right, and Kalgan were a direct tool of the mental wizards. What if it was their purpose to defeat and destroy the Foundation. No! It made no sense! And yet- He smiled bitterly. Always the same. Always that peering and peering through the opaque granite which, to the enemy, was so transparent. Nor were the galactographic verities of the situation lost upon Stettin. *** The Lord of Kalgan stood before a twin of the Galactic model which the mayor and Darell had inspected. Except that where the mayor frowned, Stettin smiled. His admiral's uniform glistered imposingly upon his massive figure. The crimson sash of the Order of the Mule awarded him by the former First Citizen whom six months later he had replaced somewhat forcefully, spanned his chest diagonally from right shoulder to waist. The Silver Star with Double Comets and Swords sparkled brilliantly upon his left shoulder. He addressed the six men of his general staff whose uniforms were only less grandiloquent than his own, and his First Minister as well, thin and gray – a darkling cobweb, lost in the brightness. Stettin said, â€Å"I think the decisions are clear. We can afford to wait. To them, every day of delay will be another blow at their morale. If they attempt to defend all portions of their realm, they will be spread thin and we can strike through in two simultaneous thrusts here and here.† He indicated the directions on the Galactic model – two lances of pure white shooting through the yellow fist from the red ball it inclosed, cutting Terminus off on either side in a tight arc. â€Å"In such a manner, we cut their fleet into three parts which can be defeated in detail. If they concentrate, they give up two-thirds of their dominions voluntarily and will probably risk rebellion.† The First Minister's thin voice alone seeped through the hush that followed. â€Å"In six months,† he said, â€Å"the Foundation will grow six months stronger. Their resources are greater, as we all know, their navy is numerically stronger; their manpower is virtually inexhaustible. Perhaps a quick thrust would be safer.† His was easily the least influential voice in the room. Lord Stettin smiled and made a flat gesture with his hand. â€Å"The six months – or a year, if necessary – will cost us nothing. The men of the Foundation cannot prepare; they are ideologically incapable of it. It is in their very philosophy to believe that the Second Foundation will save them. But not this time, eh?† The men in the room stirred uneasily. â€Å"You lack confidence, I believe,† said Stettin, frigidly. â€Å"Is it necessary once again to describe the reports of our agents in Foundation territory, or to repeat the findings of Mr. Homir Munn, the Foundation agent now in our†¦ uh†¦ service? Let us adjourn, gentlemen.† Stettin returned to his private chambers with a fixed smile still on his face. He sometimes wondered about this Homir Munn. A queer water-spined fellow who certainly did not bear out his early promise. And yet he crawled with interesting information that carried conviction with it – particularly when Callia was present. His smile broadened. That fat fool had her uses, after all. At least, she got more with her wheedling out of Munn than he could, and with less trouble. Why not give her to Munn? He frowned. Callia. She and her stupid jealousy. Space! If he still had the Darell girl- Why hadn't he ground her skull to powder for that? He couldn't quite put his finger on the reason. Maybe because she got along with Munn. And he needed Munn. It was Munn, for instance, who had demonstrated that, at least in the belief of the Mule, there was no Second Foundation. His admirals needed that assurance. He would have liked to make the proofs public, but it was better to let the Foundation believe in their nonexistent help. Was it actually Callia who had pointed that out? That's right. She had said- Oh, nonsense! She couldn't have said anything. And yet- He shook his head to clear it and passed on.

The Things They Carried by Tim OBrien Essay - 1103 Words

The Things They Carried by Tim OBrien â€Å"The Things They Carried† was a story about soldiers caught in the confusion of the Vietnam War. There are a lot of apparent themes that are dealt with when writing a story about war, especially about death. I enjoyed reading this story; however there were some things about it that I was concerned about. I would like to discuss the author’s style of writing, his meaning of the title â€Å"The Things They Carried† and the way the author and his characters deal with death. This story was written with a variety of styles, and it was in a non-traditional format. The main style seems to be a third person, limited omniscient story. However, this story also includes elements of flashback. In a traditional†¦show more content†¦Either your audience is liberal and understands the use of the words, or your audience is conservative, and they are offended and don’t finish reading. However, I also believe that the words are put in not for the vulgarity, bu t for an authentication of what was going on in the war. They were not used in every dialogue, or every sentence, but in places where you might â€Å"normally† hear them. All of these different elements together provided for a very dynamic story. I did pick up on the central themes in the story. One thing that was apparent was Lt. Jimmy Cross, and his use of his â€Å"girlfriend† Martha to deal with the war. Another is the death of one comrade, Ted Lavender, and how it affected the soldiers. And then there is the title, â€Å"The Things They Carried†, in which the author takes time to emphasize throughout the story. I felt that author also tried to mislead readers by the title, because the story is really not about the ‘Things†. In the story there are large passages in which the author describes, to the pound, the weight of the physical things that each of the soldiers carried. In each passage however, there was one statement or something that didn’t fit into the physical things category. The soldiers were also sectioned off into stereotypes, which I also believe was on purpose.

Elie Wiesel s The Holocaust - 1315 Words

The Holocaust appeared to be a time of darkness and it seemed like on Earth and in heaven, each doorway of humanity, empathy, and kindness had been closed down. Those who did not encounter the Holocaust cannot begin to comprehend what it was like, however, those who did cannot begin to express it. Torture, genocide, and cruel acts started to fill brains and souls. The Holocaust was an event where millions of people were being murdered during World War II. The memoir, Night by Elie Wiesel is based on Wiesel’s experiences in concentration camps, in order to give readers an insight of someone who was a victim of the Holocaust. The young narrator, Elie Wiesel, faces countless struggles for survival among the horrors of the Holocaust. In the memoir, Eliezer, the passionately, devoted boy with a benevolent family, is taken from his home and sent to a concentration camp. Through their unstable and dangerous journey, Elie is detached from his mother and sisters but lingers on with hi s father, only to be relocated from camp to camp. Elie mentions the death of numerous family members, the death of his own identity and innocence, to an extent in which living or dying did not matter anymore. In Night, Wiesel reveals that the exposure to an unsympathetic, bitter world generates to the destruction of the three main themes throughout the memoir which are; religious faith, identity, and family.

Courage Humanity and Belief Essay Example For Students

Courage Humanity and Belief Essay - Paper based on Stephen Cranes works How do we grow up through the hardships of live? What can a stressful environment bring out in human? And how do you perceive a society between the reality and the myth? As a naturalism and realism writer, Stephen Crane creates vivid characters in his stories. We might find answers of these questions from Cranes three representative works, The Red Badge of Courage, The Open Boat and The Blue Hotel. Adolescence brings about many changes as a youth becomes an adult. For many people this passage is either tedious or painful, or simple and barely noticeable. In The Red Badge of Courage, the character Henry Fleming survives the Civil War, which serves as his rite of passage as it teaches him the importance of things such as dreams, companionship, individualism, dignity and, of course, courage. At first, Henry is determined and eager to fight in war, which is his dream and goal. From all the tales told by others of fighting and glory, he can not help but idolize the duty of the soldier and aspire to become the very same soldier. Unfortunately, his dreams are virtually shattered time again as the fight on in the battle. Eventually, Henry is faced with the ultimate enemy himself. He begins to doubt his own self-confidence and wonders weather he will stay and fight or run then faced with death and war at the battlefields. He experimented with many schemes, but threw them aside one by one as flimsy (Crane, 65). Those schemes suggest the constant dilemma experienced by most adolescents, which would be conformity, peer pressure, and acceptance. Henry eventually flees from the scene, reexamines himself and his thoughts, and musters up the courage to return to the battlefield. This is part of growing up facing your fears and giving it another shot. The death of John Conklin teaches Henry the importance of companionship and its limits, which play an important part in anyones life as friends are one of lifes greatest treasures. Towards the end of the story, Henry discards the expectations of his peers and declares his individuality and courage by seizing the flag from the dead color sergeant and waving it in front of the regiment. He risks being shot at as he is an easy target and thus displays his courage deep down within his soul. He himself felt the daring spirit of a savage religion-madThere were subtle flashings of joy within him that thus should be his mind (Crane, 118). His reaching out for the flag proves to himself that he is just as brave and courageous as those soldiers those stories dazzles him as a boy. He is that very soldier. If the tribulation builds up Henrys courage, then it reveals human dignity in The Open Boat. At numerous times during the story, an anonymous man will grieve and ponder over the idea that death is a great possibility for those in the boat. The reader never learns who the speaker is, which turn becomes an everyman issue. All are feeling this sense of hopelessness, or one man is speaking for everyone. Crane uses the quote If I am going to be drowned if I am going to be drowned as a tool to exhibit human dignity in the boat. For at least three times during the story, everyman despairs and cries out for this mercy. If the man on the boat did not admit their fears, we would think they were all courageous heroes. It is obvious they are merely human. The men in the boat have worked together as a team, almost as if they know they can only survive s a team. .u58fd23168dba4903db78e52e884a0712 , .u58fd23168dba4903db78e52e884a0712 .postImageUrl , .u58fd23168dba4903db78e52e884a0712 .centered-text-area { min-height: 80px; position: relative; } .u58fd23168dba4903db78e52e884a0712 , .u58fd23168dba4903db78e52e884a0712:hover , .u58fd23168dba4903db78e52e884a0712:visited , .u58fd23168dba4903db78e52e884a0712:active { border:0!important; } .u58fd23168dba4903db78e52e884a0712 .clearfix:after { content: ""; display: table; clear: both; } .u58fd23168dba4903db78e52e884a0712 { display: block; transition: background-color 250ms; webkit-transition: background-color 250ms; width: 100%; opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; background-color: #95A5A6; } .u58fd23168dba4903db78e52e884a0712:active , .u58fd23168dba4903db78e52e884a0712:hover { opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; background-color: #2C3E50; } .u58fd23168dba4903db78e52e884a0712 .centered-text-area { width: 100%; position: relative ; } .u58fd23168dba4903db78e52e884a0712 .ctaText { border-bottom: 0 solid #fff; color: #2980B9; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold; margin: 0; padding: 0; text-decoration: underline; } .u58fd23168dba4903db78e52e884a0712 .postTitle { color: #FFFFFF; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600; margin: 0; padding: 0; width: 100%; } .u58fd23168dba4903db78e52e884a0712 .ctaButton { background-color: #7F8C8D!important; color: #2980B9; border: none; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: none; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 26px; moz-border-radius: 3px; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; text-shadow: none; width: 80px; min-height: 80px; background: url(https://artscolumbia.org/wp-content/plugins/intelly-related-posts/assets/images/simple-arrow.png)no-repeat; position: absolute; right: 0; top: 0; } .u58fd23168dba4903db78e52e884a0712:hover .ctaButton { background-color: #34495E!important; } .u58fd23168dba4903db78e52e884a0712 .centered-text { display: table; height: 80px; padding-left : 18px; top: 0; } .u58fd23168dba4903db78e52e884a0712 .u58fd23168dba4903db78e52e884a0712-content { display: table-cell; margin: 0; padding: 0; padding-right: 108px; position: relative; vertical-align: middle; width: 100%; } .u58fd23168dba4903db78e52e884a0712:after { content: ""; display: block; clear: both; } READ: Cultural competence Essay Like clockwork, they switch rowing shifts to let others sleep. They are considerate to each other and respectful. Yet, when it comes down to their personal feelings, isolation takes over. If I am going to be drowned why was I allowed to come thus far the contemplate sand and trees? (Crane, 293). That statement emphasizes a certain part of our humanity that calls for complete mercy. Its almost as if the gods are taunting the men on the boat. .

Mens Agitat Molem an Example by

Mens Agitat Molem by Expert Prof Nelly | 15 Dec 2016 Its all in the mind.- Arnold Schwarzenegger (Kehoe, 2004) Need essay sample on "Mens Agitat Molem" topic? We will write a custom essay sample specifically for you Proceed The human mind is the most powerful tool that can be used by an inpidual. Our brain may act as versatile as a computer but our mind power is the operating system that runs it all. The power of our mind is even greater than positive thinking. Why is that so? Undergraduates Very Often Tell Us: How much do I have to pay someone to make my assignment online? Professional writers recommend: Find Your Helping Hand! Let me use an analogy. Water is a substance which always takes the shape of its container, whatever it may be. In the same manner, our mind power can be designed or established based on the ideas that we conceive on it because it is a thing of habit. It is like a garden on where we can plant seeds that will grow someday to be our destiny, and yes, we are the gardener. Nevertheless, it is our responsibility to wisely choose what seeds are planted in the garden, what we inscribe in our minds for we are the sole master of our destiny. Since our mind power can change us, internally, it can also change the whole picture, or the whole world. It can even move mountains. With our mind power, we can erase some, if not all, of the most alarming issues that our society is facing. We can move mountains. One mountain that I would definitely like to move is the continuing abuse and addiction to drugs. According to the 2005 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH), approximately 3.5 million Americans aged 12 or older reported trying heroin at least once during their lifetime, representing 1.5% of the population aged 12 or older (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, Results from the 2005 National Survey on Drug Use and Health: National Findings, September 2006). Alarming, isnt it? But with the use of the education that I acquired from the University of Oregon, I can put an end to this problem. Through education, I will be a good example to all the young people out there. I will awaken the sleeping minds of those who chose to become a victim of drug abuse by increasing their awareness of the serious damage that can be inflicted to them. Most importantly, I will ascertain that all the sales of drugs are monitored so as to prevent the increasing number of people who abuse drugs. And lastly, to those who are already held captive by the drugs, I will have them freed through rehabilitation. Another big mountain to move is the different kinds of pollution that are mercilessly trying to kill Mother Natureair pollution, water pollution, and land pollution. I will reduce the level of damage that air pollution has done by promoting more smoke-free zones and by controlling the kind of fuel used in automobiles. To control the amount of pollution in water, I will ask everyone (in this big world) to lend a hand by not throwing garbage anywhere. I will also educate the people against littering by hosting anti-litter campaigns and solid waste management programs. The world we live in is interacting with all its components, thus, a change in one of the many aspects will cause a great deal of change in the grand scheme of things. One persistent push can make everything move. One determined step can start a never-ending journey. And one person can make a lasting difference. Because nothing on Earth is so great that a person with a positive and strong mind power cannot move. If you need similar unique paper, can buy essay on our site. References: Kehoe, J.
