Job was a very wealthy man financially, socially, and spiritually, until Satan seems to trick God into testing Job's faith. What ensues is a torment few, if any, individuals will ever experience, but the Book of Job provides great detail of Job's transition from a healthy and fulfilled man, through the grieving process after Job loses everything, and restoration to his former life. This process is examined in this essay from the perspective of Kubler-Ross's five stages of grieving and Buddhism.

For the U.S. and other Western powers, oil supplies are the only real interest in the Middle East, and most people in the region are well aware of this fact, and of numerous Western attempts to establish and support ‘friendly' authoritarian regimes like that of Hosni Mubarak in Egypt and the monarchy in Jordan.

The character of Satan is a prominent figure in "Paradise Lost." In fact, it is arguable that without this character, there would be no poem and there would be no myth of the fall of humanity and the war in heaven.

Examination of this character can provide insight into other characters, themes of the poem, and other literary structures that are present within Milton's great opus.
