Comparing Uncertain Vision in “Othello” and “Oedipus Rex”
[ send me this essay ]
This 5 page report discusses the fact that Uncertain vision serves as a unifying theme in both Sophocles’ “Oedipus Rex” and Shakespeare’s “Othello” but there is a difference in how each of the authors present their characters’ overall vision and the direction of that vision. What they perceive or understand is not necessarily what they are seeing. Therefore, interpretation serves as the primary component that makes the difference in how the final outcomes are achieved but the end result is still disastrous. Both men lose everything.

Comparing Whitman to Whitman
[ send me this essay ]
A 5 page paper comparing two of Walt Whitman's works, discussing a carol appearing within one. There is no joy in either the eulogy to Lincoln or in the sailor's urging his captain to rise from his blood-stained space. The Carol of Death offers a glimmer of hope within "When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom'd." "O Captain, My Captain" is a lament for the fallen captain and for the sailor's loss. The Carol of Death, however, offers hope in the midst of sorrow. The thrush does not demand that the sufferer forget the one he mourns, but he does offer a positive view of death as a fitting culmination to a life well lived. No additional sources.
