A 4 page essay on the underlying struggle between heart and
mind in Greek mythology. The writer makes comparisons
between this theme's existence in "Prometheus Bound" and in

sources. Prometh.wps

Aeschlyus’ "Prometheus Bound" / A Godly Love vs.
Human Love : In this 5 page essay, comparisons are made
between the role of love in "Prometheus Bound" and
"Hippolytus." The writer argues that just as Phaedra was made
to suffer as the result of her own love, Prometheus was
similarly made to struggle as the result of his love for mankind--
which motivated him to give us the gift of fire. Additional
examples of love's predicament are provided from Prometheus
Bound as well -- to further support this thesis (i.e., the case of
Iago, etc;). Bibliography lists one additional source.

Hamlet and The Odyssey : An 8 page paper which compares
and contrasts Hamlet and The Odyssey. These two classic tales
were written in completely different times in history, as well as
completely different regions of the world, and as such they are
incredibly different in almost all aspects of consideration. Some
of the aspects of the tales that are discussed include intent,
substance, focus, cultural perspectives, and beliefs. Perhaps the
most obvious difference between the two is that Hamlet is a tale
of incredible depth and introspection while The Odyssey is
primarily a tale of adventure and intrigue. Bibliography lists 2
additional sources. RAhamod.wps
