Do you like Greek mythology?. No, I do not like Greek mythology. Greek Mythology is how the Greek's explained the world around them. To the Greek's, gods controlled every aspect of the world, the weather, their love life, their health, and their after life. The Greeks didn't worship just one God, they worshipped the good god's and respected the bad gods. II. The god of all gods (so to speak) was Cronus. Cronus was overthrown by his son Zeus with help from his brothers Poseidon and Hades. Once…

In the play, As You Like it, Shakespeare pens through the character Jaques, the proverbial saying, “all the world's a stage and all the men and women merely players.” No doubt, we are all players on the world's stage, but like Shakespeare—whether we've ever put pen to page, or fingers to keyboard, to spin a yarn or not—I believe we are all storytellers as well. As the oft-quoted dictum goes, knowledge is power, and stories, ab initio have been its modus operandi. Romantic, or realistic,…

William Shakespeare was born in the town of Stratford-upon-Avon in the year of 1564. His father was a tradesman and his mother was a daughter to an affluent farmer (The life of William Shakespeare 1554-1616). He was not born into a wealthy family, and this represented the difficulties his family underwent and the inability to attend a university. By the time William Shakespeare decides to move to London, it is where he begins to write his sonnets and plays. Overall William Shakespeare represents…

In the third journal article by Heidi M. Reeder, ‘I like you…as a friend’: The role of attraction in cross-sex friendship, she begins by defining friendship and breaking it down as to what is attractive to each party in a friendship. While most other research has been focused on how sexual attractiveness is the underlying motivator for an opposite-sex friendship, Reeder conducts research to conclude if that is the only motivator. She performs a study using in-depth interviews of 20 opposite-sex…

gender. Once people started noticing these themes in his works, it attracted a new kind of Literary Criticism; this one based in the study of Gender and Queer theories. One particular play, As You Like It, uses the confusion of gender identity and how it translates homosexual desire as main themes. As You Like It is a pastoral comedy…

“All the world’s a stage, And all the men and women merely players,” a quote from Shakespeare’s As You Like It, Act II, Scene VII, that typically serves as the introductory quote for many essays concerning Shakespeare and literature in general. Alas, yes, a generic quote that often opens up generic essays and is one of the long-standing rituals of writings concerning the theatre. This is typically done in goals to connecting the grander motives of the theatre to the outside world to which we all…

Do you ever sit in class and have no idea what’s going on? Well, that’s me right now. I’m sitting in chemistry listening to descriptions chemical reactions. Why am I even sitting here trying to make sense of a subject that has no practical relevance to our lives whatsoever? Realistically, out of all senior chemistry students, who will actually use chemical principles on a daily basis? Most of us haven’t chosen a career pathway yet. The un-deciders, like me, hopelessly put effort in getting…
