Dante distinguishes a feeling of false guilt in Tartuffe's eyes, as his character seems to be unaffected by the situation that he is in. Even as he is limited by his inability to move or speak, his mind appears to be remained intact, considering that he tries to influence Dante to think that he does not actually belong there.
In spite of the fact that one might be inclined to consider that Tartuffe's sin in not that great, his fabricated piety is an essential factor showing the kind of person that he is. He did not hesitate to use God as a means to achieve his goals, this being an unforgivable sin and proof that his actions were unlimited when it came to treachery. Orgon failure to see the real man that Tartuffe was further contributes to the person's general image. Tartuffe was a con artist that was willing to do anything in his power in order to rip off people. Moreover, he had no interest in their fate once he finished with them, thus meaning that he was practically willing to rob people of everything that they had, regardless of the consequences.
Okonkwo was not necessarily an evil person, as the surrounding environment shaped him and influenced his behavior in particular circumstances. His father's character was especially influential when considering his personality...
However, his past did not absolve him from the sins that he committed with the purpose of improving his image. Dante feels sorry as he realizes that Oknokwo had been assigned to Fourth Circle of Hell, but knows that his acts were unpardonable. His quest for power provided him with a place in the section of hell hosting greedy individuals, given that he was mainly interested in accumulating power during his time on earth. Even as Dante approaches him he appears to be indifferent to everything that happens around, this proving that he lost his character as a consequence of his experiences both on earth and in hell.
It was not necessarily that Oknonkwo wanted to be a greedy person, as his father's behavior and the pressure that he felt at the time when he killed Ikemefuna played an important role in making him feel that he had to do everything in order to preserve his position. He failed to understand that a person's good deeds are more important than his wrongdoings, even if the latter improve his position in his or her community. This made it possible for him to experience suffering both during his time on earth and in hell.

Mental Illness In the social environment, mental illness is a serious condition and with an advancement of technology and modern science, the physiological issue surrounding a mental illness is not well understood. The stigma that place on people suffering from mental illness is so much making people pretending that they are not suffering from the problems. Although, many people were not born with a mental problem, however, the societal burden can
worked tirelessly to understand the literary works of a variety of authors including poets Pat Mora, Shirley Geok-Lim, John Keats, and Robert Frost, and short-story writer DH Lawrence. As we have compared the works of these poets and determined how common themes are shared, and through a deep reading and literature analysis of Lawrence's short, I have been able to explore different writing and analytical approaches that have allowed
Chokshi, Carter, Gupta, and Allen (1995) report that during the critical states of emergency, ongoing intermittently until 1989, a low-level police official could detain any individual without a hearing by for up to six months. "Thousands of individuals died in custody, frequently after gruesome acts of torture" Those who were tried were sentenced to death, banished, or imprisoned for life" (Chokshi, Carter, Gupta, & Allen, ¶ 6).

The feminist nature of the novel is established earlier in the novel, wherein the novel begins with the following passage: Ships at a distance have every man's wish on board. For some they come in with the tide. For others, they sail forever on the horizon, never out of sight, never landing until the Watcher turns his eyes away in resignation, his dreams mocked to death by Time. That is
William Shakespeare Should Shakespeare's Work Be Translated? Shakespeare has been the lord of writing for centuries. His work, full of wit and puns has not been replaced by any other writer so far. However, the language used in Shakespeare's work has been the reflection of the then literary language which was full of flavor and richness and suited the culture of Western world then. The question is whether Shakespeare retains its meaning
Prater Violet and Eagleton's Literary Theory Often, when writing a literary work, authors are focused so much on their personal views and intentions with the story that no literary theory comes to mind. Furthermore, writers are seldom concerned with adhering to or promoting any specific theory. Nevertheless, it is the nature of readers and critics to want to impose theories upon literary works. Much like life, literary works present themselves in
