Euripides' "Electra": Tragic Hero
[ send me this essay ]
5 pages in length. As the tragic hero and protagonist, Euripides' Electra is forced to come face to face with her own shortcomings, which ultimately cast upon her the tragic flaw that eventually leads to her downfall. In applying Aristotle's formula for tragedy to this play, facing opposition from within her own being is part of the inner struggle that Electra addresses throughout her life, wavering back and forth as a means by which to establish her self-knowledge. The fate that governs her life also controls the actions associated with her troubled existence; being both brave and courtly, Electra is compelled to exemplify that of an upstanding social ambassador. However, as time progresses, she learns that she, too, possesses a significant flaw and ultimately succumbs to the burdens of emotion that fate had already provided for her.

Euripides/The Character of Iphigenia
[ send me this essay ]
A 3 page essay that discusses the characterization of Iphigenia in Euripides' plays Iphigenia at Aulis and Iphigenia at Tauris.

While highlighting these qualities, Euripides also humanizes his characterization of Iphigenia by showing that she also experiences rage against the unfairness of her fate.

Evaluation of Gordon’s “Death in the Venetian Quarter: A Medieval Mystery” in Regards to its Historical Context and Connection to the Crusades
[ send me this essay ]
This is a 5 page analysis of Gordon’s “Death in the Venetian Quarter: A Medieval Mystery” and additional comments on its historical context. Alan Gordon’s “Death in the Venetian Quarter: A Medieval Mystery” (2002) successfully combines elements of fact and fiction when unraveling a mystery during the end of the Fourth Crusade in 1203 in Constantinople. The historical accuracies of the novel are general in a broad sense with some variations as to the relationship of the Emperor and his family but overall the historical context only adds to the excitement of the work. A unique aspect of the work is his use of Feste the Fool as the central character. In Gordon’s version of history, court fools are part of an elite intellectual society which because of their positions are able to overhear conversations, due to the fact that most of the population disregard them, and makes them privy to information which prove helpful in their investigations. Once the reader accepts this premise, which has already been introduced by Gordon in two previous novels, the book becomes enjoyable in regards to the historical descriptions of the city and in Feste’s solving of the murder of Bastiani the silk merchant. Bibliography lists 9 sources.

Evaluation of Minor Women in Chopin’s “The Awakening”
[ send me this essay ]
A 5 page paper examining the minor women in Kate Chopin’s late work. Madame Lebrun is not “invisible” but is diminished in significance through her “impertinence” and failure to see others accurately. Young black women in the employ of white or Creole women are just invisible, to the point that Chopin does not even name them. Madame Antoine is not totally invisible in the manner of the others, but Edna accepts her thoughtfulness without a glimmer of gratitude. It appears that Chopin’s own experiences and society as it existed at the end of the 19th century when Chopin was writing colored her own view and use of women of color. Bibliography lists 1 source.
