Plath & Wharton/Society’s Expectations for Women
[ send me this essay ]
A 10 page research paper/essay that closely examines Wharton’s protagonist in The House of Mirth, Lily Bart, and Plath’s heroine in The Bell Jar, Esther Greenwood. The writer argues that there are sharp contrasts between these protagonists that suggest that Plath’s portrayal of Esther’s adaptation to the forces of society over which she has no control is fundamentally healthier than the way in which Wharton’s heroine reacts to these same patriarchal and materialistic forces. However, this examination also shows that ultimately, the effects on the two women’s lives are very much the same. Bibliography lists 10 sources.

Plato, Sophocles & the Bible/On Piety
[ send me this essay ]
A 4 page essay that contrasts and compares Plato's Euthyphro, Sophocles' Oedipus and the Book of Genesis, chapter 22. The writer points out that all of these works concern the perspective of ancient peoples on issues of piety, justice and the manner in which these issues intersect with religion. Examination of these texts shows that Sophocles and the author of Genesis agree that divine authority demands and deserves unquestioning obedience. However, Plato, in representing the philosophy of Socrates, presents a more ambiguous picture that emphasizes the unreliability of a purely religious foundation for issues of justice. Analysis of these positions shows that Plato's stance in Euthyphro is the most logical-- and just-- by modern standards. No additional sources cited.

Plato/Apology of Socrates
[ send me this essay ]
A 5 page essay that summarizes and analyzes Plato's The Apology of Socrates. The writer argues that it is part of human nature that politicians and leaders love to be grandiose about themselves and their nation, or, as in the case of ancient Greece, their city. This factor of human behavior is still quite evident today and this is why Plato's The Apology of Socrates retains its relevancy despite the passage of millennia. No additional sources cited.

Plato/Phaedrus
[ send me this essay ]
An 8 page essay that explores the content and meaning of Plato's dialogue Phaedrus. This examination of this dialogue concentrates on Plato's first argument, which concerns his rejection of sexually possessive love. While couched within a context that suggests that Plato is presenting this argument tongue-in-cheek, there is nevertheless the indication that he is also serious in arguing against the passions of erotic love. While certainly there is an element of truth to Plato's position, there is also the fact that love can play an uplifting role in human life, which is acknowledged by Plato in the latter half of the dialogue. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
