Gilgamesh and Genesis: A Religious Comparison
[ send me this report ]
A six page look at these two ancient stories in terms of their philosophy toward the continuity of life. The paper suggests that the Sumerians, in fact, felt that since death was the end of everything, humans’ responsibility is to live vigorously and well; the Hebrews, on the other hand, found their own “salvation” in community and tradition, which insured an ongoing and consistent expression of faith despite the deaths of individual members. Bibliography lists seven sources.
Filename: KBgilga.wps

Gilgamesh as an Epic Hero

A 2 page essay demonstrating how the character of Gilgamesh does indeed fall under the classic and definitive explanation of a 'hero' as well as how the elements of his story comprise that which genuinely defines an 'epic.' Bibliography lists 2 sources.
Filename: Gilgame2.rtf

Heroism & Violence in Gilgamesh and the Odyssey
[ send me this report ]
In this 6 page essay, the writer argues that Odysseus (from 'The Odyssey') and Gilgamesh (from 'The Epic of Gilgamesh') were both heroes in the classic, definitive sense. It is reasoned that their violent tempers and mood swings actually had some 'redeeming value.'-- Excellent comparisons are made between the two characters. No Bibliography.
Filename: Odysseus.wps

Sacrifice in Medea

This paper posits that in order to redeem herself of all the deaths she has caused in freeing Jason, Medea must make the ultimate sacrifice, her children, for two purposes: to save herself, and to save the country from the future reign of Jason. No references. JVmedea.rtf
Filename: JVmedea.rtf

Chrisopher Marlowe’s Role in Elizabethan Drama
[ send me this report ]
An eight page paper looking at the English dramatist Christopher Marlowe in terms of the ways he influenced the development of Elizabethan drama. The paper concludes that Marlowe had a pivotal role in the development of both the Elizabethan blank verse drama and the “play of ideas” -- both specialties Shakespeare would make his own. Bibliography lists seven sources.
Filename: KBmarlow.wps

Marlowe’s “Doctor Faustus” / Holistic View
[ send me this report ]
A 7 page essay taking the view that Marlowe was interested in showing the placement of humans within the Great Chain of Being in order to effect their salvation. The writer posits this as the main theme and supports the thesis with macrocosm/microcosm views of Faustus’s beliefs and his view of reality. Original source only.
Filename: Cnfausts.wps

Marlowe’s “Dr. Faustus”
[ send me this report ]
A five-page paper looking at Christopher Marlowe’s sixteenth century play in terms of its relevance today. The paper argues that much the same theme is echoed in films such as “Frankenstein,” and in the debate over cloning. Bibliography lists four sources.

'Beowulf' & Joseph Conrad's 'Heart of Darkness' / Heroism
[ send me this report ]
A 5 page paper comparing these two works in terms of their conceptions of heroism. The paper concludes that both authors share a sense that true heroism has a spiritual component that goes beyond fame and power. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
Filename: Beodark.wps

Authority and Hierarchy in Milton's 'Paradise Lost'
[ send me this report ]
A ten page paper supporting the thesis that the fall of Adam and Eve was inevitable due to their rejection of what Milton believed to be the natural hierarchy of husband over wife and God over humanity. It shows how, even today, Milton is able to achieve his goal of 'justify[ing] the ways of God to man' in a way he did not quite intend. Bibliography lists five sources.
Filename: KBparadi.wps

Teachings Of Christ And The Odyssey
[ send me this report ]
The world of Homer's Odyssey was ruled by a conglomerate of Gods who saw little need to assess human conduct outside of intervening for personal gratification and entertainment. Jesus, on the other hand, took on the 'mortal coil' in order to teach, to bring to mankind both instructions on conduct and hope for a better reality. This 5 page paper attempts to compare the teachings of Christ in Matthew with the behavior of Odysseus as presented in The Odyssey. No additional sources are listed. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
Filename: KTjesody.wps

Women’s Roles in the 'Odyssey' and the Bible
[ send me this report ]
A five page paper comparing the degree of influence and/or power exhibited by the Biblical Rebekah versus Homer's ingenue Nausicaa. The paper argues that even though women in both Hebrew and Greek cultures were considered to have little power, they were often able to exercise power within the family structure which had far-ranging ramifications outside it. No additional sources.
Filename: KBodot3.wps.

Achilles and Odysseus
[ send me this report ]
A 5 page paper contrasting these two classical heroes of Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey respectively. The paper observes that the Iliad, through its characterization of the volatile and later chastened Achilles, shows the tempering and maturing effects of war, and the Odyssey, through its depiction of the strategic and noble Odysseus, is more reflective of the characteristics of a stable society. No additional sources.
Filename: KBiliad.wps

Faith and Retribution in Genesis and Homer's 'Odyssey'
[ send me this report ]
A SIX page paper looking at the way the status quo is disrupted and then renewed in the story of Odysseus and the suitors in Homer's 'Odyssey,' and also in the story of Noah and the Ark. The paper shows that in the Biblical story, it is God who punishes the evildoers and restores the status quo, while in the Odyssey it is a mortal man. No additional sources.
Filename: KBodot2.wps

The Odyssey And The Aeneid
[ send me this report ]
There is within each person a child and that child is need of certain beliefs. It seems to be almost an innate need to have heroes to look up to and to emulate.

This 6 page paper compares these two myths and their heroes. No additional sources are listed.
Filename: KTaenody.wps

[ send me this report ]
A five page paper looking at Cantos XXXII, XXXIII, and XXXIV of Dante’s classic work in terms of the way the poet uses symbolism and imagery to heighten our understanding of the poem’s meaning.

Filename: KBdante3.wps
