Penelope As Moral Agent
Number of pages: 11 | Number of words: 2964

.... this essay that I could find is the ignorance of a few facts that could possibly be construed as being in opposition to her findings. Since I am not familiar with and have not read any of the outside texts to which Foley refers (Aristotle's Oedipus Tyrannos, Poetics, Politics, and Ethics, the Hippocratic medical texts, and the feminist theory of Carol Gilligan), I can only assume that her interpretations of these texts are correct.

Human control must be tempered by respect and restraint. Programs designed for the protection and restoration of wildlife must reflect deference for the natural order rather than dominance over it. The consequences of human actions involving the elimination of the gray wolf have been especial .....

.... begin to walk, something that they vowed they would never do, or when they got drunk, again, something they vowed they would never do. In addition to verbal and situational irony, we can too find some dramatic irony.

While that is a good example, the best, perhaps, is the ending where it is stated that the onlooker could not tell the difference between pig and man. The two most prominent themes in Animal Farm, freedom .....

(Ford 257) As a fiction editor, he is quite receptive to Lawrence’s descriptive gifts. He is impressed with Lawrence’s sense of purpose. But readers needn’t assess the short story by Ford’s methods alone. Modern readers have a very different perspective than Lawrence’s contemporaries, ensuring that many different analyses of "Odour of Chrysanthemums" are possible. However, the plo .....
