The Kardashians and the Change of Beauty In 1751, British essayist David Home, wrote “Beauty is no quality in things themselves…; Each mind perceives a different beauty (Hume)”. In the last two hundred and sixty-six years, this concept of beauty has all but vanished.

Despite their attempts to better themselves, the self-hatred—The Bitter River—prevents them…

Helen of Troy will always be a notable character from ancient Greek literature. From the moment Homer first spoke of her, certain things about her will be forever more written in stone. She will always be female, the wife of Menalaus, cause of the Trojan War, beautiful, and the daughter of Zeus.

“That garn dun rappity hip-hoppity music nowadays! It’s just filled with sex, drugs, and guns! That’s probably what’s causing my son to act so rebellious!”, exclaimed the middle aged man walking by me. I pondered on his quaint notion; was it truly hip-hop to blame for his son’s defiant demeanor? I think not, there’s multitudes of other variables that come into play when it comes to this young man’s attitude, so why just automatically prey on hip-hop?

The antagonist Iago in Shakespeare’s Othello is a character of many facets. The complexity of Iago is significant to understanding this play, as he is one of the most important characters. In Othello, Iago says, “I am not what I am (Oth.1.1.65),” meaning he is not the person that he seems to be, which showcases his complexity. Throughout the play, Iago serves in many capacities. Among others, his roles in Othello include psychotherapist, anti-Logos, and misogynist. In Omer and Da Verona’s…
