Creon's Reflection
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page paper assessing Creon's view of events and the results of his laws as ruler of Thebes.

Perhaps Creon has not taken full responsibility, for he still blames fate for a large part of the bad news he has received. The responsibility he is willing to bear is nearly full, however. Though he will not have his son or his wife with him through the journey, Creon finds he has come to the beginning of wisdom. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Dante's 9th Circle/A Contemporary Vision
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page research paper that discusses Dante Alighieri's medieval masterpiece The Divine Comedy. The writer states that this poem is a profound statement on medieval theology, but is also a commentary by Dante on medieval society. These verses picture Dante, being led by the pagan poet Virgil, through Hell, Purgatory and Heaven. In Hell, i.e., The Inferno, Dante pictures meeting notorious sinners: some contemporary with his era; some from the past. This inspires the question of how the present day's most notorious compare to those whom Dante included in his epic poem. The writer discusses John Walker Lindh, Timothy McVeigh, Jeffrey Dahmer and the Unabomber in relation to where they would go in the Ninth Circle of Dante's vision of Hell. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
