"Gawain and the Greek Knight"/"Wife of Bath's Tale"
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page essay that contrasts and compares these two tales. The Middle Ages are generally not associated with humor, as the medieval era brings to mind in the public consciousness, the terror of the Black Plague, the Inquisition, and incessant warfare. However, two tales from the late thirteenth century, "Sir Gawain and the Greek Knight," author unknown, and "The Wife of Bath' Tale" by Geoffrey Chaucer offer modern readers insight into the worldview of this period and demonstrate the considerable humor and irony that characterizes medieval English society.

"Lysistrata" And "The Wife Of Bath" – Sex As Power In A Relationship
[ send me this paper ]
4 pages in length. Throughout history, women have had one – and only one – trump card to play in an otherwise patriarchal society. The female gender has routinely been oppressed, degraded and made to feel less than a human being all in keeping with the heavy-handed tactics of a male-oriented existence. With nothing else to use as a weapon against such inhumane treatment, women have long withheld sex as a means by which to get their counterparts' attention; nowhere is this more evident than in such early works as "Lysistrata" and "The Wife of Bath." Bibliography lists 4 sources.

"Sir Gawain And The Green Knight": Comparing Moral
Characters
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Upon comparing the moral fiber of both primary characters in "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight," one can readily surmise that while on the surface there does not appear to be any similarity of attributes, one will undoubtedly find a common denominator to some degree between the two knights. Clearly, Sir Gawain stands out as the
story's protagonist, inasmuch as he is replete with moral fortitude inherent to such an individual. The Green Knight, on the other hand, is the wicked antagonist on the surface, yet he harbors a veiled morality that serves as one of the tale's most interesting character dualities. No additional
sources cited.

"The Odyssey": Theme Of Crime And Punishment, And Its Resolution
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. When one traces the theme of crime and punishment in The Odyssey, the most apparent resolution relates directly to mortal limitations, truth, honesty and the desire to achieve and uphold one's righteousness. Homer's classic tale is instrumental in providing its characters with the knowledge of values and "to express the Greek ideals of thought and action" (The Odyssey). Without exception, Homer's work inspired all Greeks to follow their destinies as they related to their overall life's purpose. The insights offered by his writings enabled the Greeks to establish a substantial value system that aided their progression through the ages. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
