Greek Perception of Fate/Responsibility
[ send me this essay ]
A 6 page essay that argues that while in Greek tragedy, fate and prophecy play pivotal roles in all the plays, the ancient Greek playwrights did not simply portray people as being puppets manipulated by the gods towards meeting a horrendous end. Rather, these ancient writers pictured individuals as being active in creating the situations that lead to their ultimate doom. In supporting this argument, the writer draws on Oedipus Rex by Sophocles, The Bacchae by Euripides, and the Oresteia by Aeschylus. No additional sources cited.

Gregorio Lopez Y Fuentes' "El Indio"
[ send me this essay ]
3 pages in length. Gregorio Lopez y Fuentes' 1937 novel El Indio strives to represent many things at once: political mistreatment, ethnic intolerance and cultural ignorance. While on the surface the story appears as yet another narration with regard to Western European overtaking of Indian land, it is significantly much more than that. Indeed, there exists plenty of references – both obvious and subliminal – that effectively address what truly did occur between the colonists and the indigenous population; however, the writer discusses that through the author's insight, the reader gains a considerable amount of knowledge about what occurred during this clash of culture. No additional sources cited.
