Salman Rushdie: Thematic Parallels Between Ayesha And Gibreel
[ send me this essay ]
15 pages in length. The manner by which the themes of Salman Rushdie's Ayesha the Butterfly Girl parallel with the story of the archangelic career of Gibreel Farishta speaks to the notion of religious fundamentalism, defiance against conventionalism and the search for self-identity. Clearly, the marriage between politics and religion represents the fundamental basis upon which Rushdie crafts his novel; it is with a significant amount of social courage and literary prowess that he so eloquently weaves the thematic parallels between Ayesha and Gibreel. Bibliography lists 11 sources.

Same-Sex Behavior And Pederastic Relationships In Athens: Not All Ancient Authors Approved
[ send me this essay ]
7 pages in length. Although widely accepted in ancient Athens, same-sex behavior and pederastic relationships were not altogether accepted or highly regarded by period authors. In fact, while some acknowledged the prevalence of such interaction by way of their literary works, others made a blatant point of demonstrating their distaste by pointing out how neither they nor their characters take part in the activity. Examining such authors as Plato, Aristophanes, Aristotle and Hippocrates, it is possible to gain a clearer understanding of how this opposing perspective was more apparent than many actually realize. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
