kill Don Kim, opposing mafia boss of the Triads, for some meddling his gang had done with Carlito’s business. It appears that the hit goes smoothly. While this happens Ricky Verona, slimy small time criminal, sees this as an opportunity to move up the ranks and be Carlito’s right hand man like Chelios is. His way to get there is killing Chelios so that the Triads won’t retaliate. In Verona’s eyes, this will show Carlito that he is tactful enough to do his dirty work. The morning after Don Kim

dangerous.” Such fickle and even potentially dangerous orientation of humanity is well demonstrated in An Essay on Man, where Alexander Pope illustrates the constantly errant and confused nature of human. Similarly, in Miguel Cervantes’s Don Quixote, the foolish protagonist Don Quixote shows how men may often fail to notice the absurdity and errors in certain actions. Here, exploration of the similarities and differences between two pieces and search for relevant contemporary examples may reveal how two

Manic, Depressive Superiority on a Quest for Perfection Lorrie Moore’s character, Zoe Hendricks, in “You’re Ugly, Too,” is an outsider drowning in irony from a supposed perfect world she has built for herself. Her cynical, yet humorous outlook on her self-isolated life, is a result of her rose-tinted view of her inability to find intimacy or satisfaction in her life. In an otherwise depressing story about a mid-western history professor going through the middle-aged motions, Zoe Hendricks’ wry social

In my opinion the Wife of Bath’s Tale, which was written by Geoffrey Chaucer, is a story with Chivalric Romance in it since it has most of the elements that a Chivalric Romance have. The Wife of Bath’s Story has two wise and just rulers, namely King Arthur and Queen Guinevere. King Arthur had accepted the pleas of the ladies and his wife, Queen Guinevere in the court to spare his life but had to answer a question. This shows the fairness and the sense of justice in the King and Queen. The second

During this time period, a “family” was defined by the whole household. However, Don Curzio is not seen as a family member, giving him a smaller role than the other characters. Da Ponte demonstrates this concept in his libretto by making Figaro

He read obsessively about chivalry and it is through his pursuit of reviving it that he attempts to protect damsels, widows and orphans. Unlike
