... dishonest creatures. Although it seems contradictory, she has no respect for her body or the rights of women, and is an insult to true feminists everywhere. The commonly used example of the Wife of Bath's so-called "feminism", is the incident in which she rips pages out of her husband's extremely sexist book. He proceeds to hit her in the head, causing her to fall to the floor in pain. This seems like an act of female liberation, but it is far from that. She did not think the horribly sexist stories her husband read to her were untrue. In fact, the stories sounded like something the Wife of Bath, herself, would say. She lashes out because she can not face her ...

Dante succeeds in justifying the coexistence of God, who is omnipotent, just, and loving with a hell that is treacherous, disgusting, and eternal.

Although Dante has human reason as his guide, his mission cannot be completed without divine intervention. The power of God is ...

... the poem more enjoyable. Alliteration was used to effect in the fourth line of the second stanza - "Among Arabian sands". The repetition of the soft letter "A" rolls off the tongue and leaves a memorable effect on the reader. The use of eye rhyme is shown in the first stanza, where in the second and fourth lines the last word is "lass" and "pass" respectively. These two words at first glance look like they should rhyme but actually don't when read over. This causes the reader to stop and think. They may even look over the lines again. This technique sticks in the mind. Assonance is shown in the fifth line of the last stanza -"I listened, motionless and st ...

... can Beowulf battle with the biggest of monsters, but he can also swim for as much as seven nights, and also stop to kill nine sea creatures in the depths of the ocean. Beowulf is even strong enough to kill the monster Grendel, who has been terrorizing the Danes for twelve years, with his bare hands by ripping off his arm Another heroic trait of Beowulf is his ability to put his peoples welfare before his own. This is because of his strong belief in fate. If he dies in battle it’s because it is his destiny to do so. "Fate will unwind as it must! (189)" He realizes the dangers but fears nothing for his own life. This is what I believe makes Beowulf a true hero. ...

... be fair in the partition. Zhang is more unwilling to turn people in and overanalyze what others say so that he can seem better in the authorities' eyes. Only when he is asked specifically about Babylon does Zhang reveal something negative about him, yet even then he withholds comments that would have surely been used against Mr. "I like to eat watery things".
