Henry VIII was, during the younger part of his life, active and reportedly handsome, extremely vain, and a symbol for all things manly. He enjoyed accenting with doublets stuffed at the shoulders, duckbill shoes, and codpieces. He was also never lacking in an abundance of fur and jewels to showcase his wealth. He was also described as being the best-dressed sovereign in the world. Subsequently, his methods, such as slashing and puffing and stuffing sleeves and…
In 1533, at the age of fourteen, Catherine married Henry, second son of King Francis I and Queen Claude of France. Throughout his reign, Henry excluded Catherine from participating in state affairs and instead showered favours on his chief mistress, Diane de Poitiers, who wielded much influence over him. Henry's death thrust Catherine into the political arena as mother of the frail fifteen-year-old King Francis II. When he died in 1560, she became regent on behalf of her ten-year-old son King Charles IX and was granted sweeping powers. After Charles died in 1574, Catherine played a key role in the reign of her third son, Henry III.…
God My understanding of God that I can see in the verbatims and in the ministerial situation is a God who prepares the heart of the people to receive him, who forgives his children and who wants the best for each one of them. All of these characteristics can be seen in my conversation with Henry, the man who had left his house for several years and who, after listening to a homily, decided to find his children. During our conversation, I told Henry that God was preparing his heart for that moment of reconciliation. God is the one who has inscribed in our hearts a longing to come back home always, to get closer to him and live with him.…

Literary archetypes are universal models or patterns that characters are based upon, they aren’t necessarily stereotypes. Archetypes can enhance or degrade the novel depending on their quality. Throughout the novel, A Farewell to Arms, Catherine Barkley is portrayed as the martyr of the story. This means that Catherine is subjected to putting others needs and emotions before her own, especially when it comes to Lieutenant Henry's, the Italian soldier she has fallen madly in love with. This archetype is commonly associated with women, so it is not a surprise that Hemingway used this type of archetype throughout the book.…

This allows him to separate himself from the situation and prevent any other further problems. In the movie, Henry’s natural state is his id. More times than not he responds in instinctive ways. For example, buying the puppy, abruptly pulling Rachel out of school, kissing his wife in the middle of the city, and eating chocolate chips off the counter while they are making cookies. Henry’s transformation throughout the movie is from a corrupt businessman to an altruistic family man.…
I liked the staging for all of the battle scenes. In the first battle scene I enjoyed how both sides charged off stage left. I also noticed that when the opposing teams would fight one on one they would stand diagonal from one another and on different levels. It always seemed that the person who was going to lose the fight or almost lose the fight would be on the higher platform. For example when when Douglas and Henry IV were battling Henry IV was on the higher platform but Douglas would have defeated him is Prince Hal did not save him.…

When Popes Were Emperors – The Clash between Henry and Gregory In the year 1073, Hildebrand of Sovana (an Italian city) became Pope Gregory VII. The clash between papacy and emperor’s authority in (what we would today call) Germany, was already evident for quite some time. The Emperor Henry IV was 23 years old. One of the first few measures implemented by Gregory were, a ban on secular authority to appoint clergy (the lay investiture) and the ostracizing of some of the members of Henry’s council, which remained a dead letter in the eyes of Henry.…
When he saw the boy he describes him as, “You thought he was an angel? I didnt know what he was. I never thought to see a child again I didnt know that would happen. What if I said he was God?” (172).…
Everything changed after he met Catherine though. Henry fell in love, and he learned to care for someone besides himself. He learned that what other people want matters and that, sometimes, you need to put other people’s needs in front of your own. “When you love you wish to do things for. You wish to sacrifice for.…
