Herman Melville's 'Moby Dick' vs. William Shakespeare's 'Hamlet'
(6 Pages, 71.7 $ (USD) )
|
|
A 6 page paper in which the writer argues that through mad antics toward ‘the revenge plot,' both Ahab and Hamlet serve to bring the action in the two tragedies to their inevitable conclusions. In all aspects the characters' motivations are different. Ahab's madness is more focused and not within Ahab's control-he is unable to see beyond it. Hamlet's madness is feigned. The characters' decision-making abilities are also in contrast to each other, and their view of God, the Devil and responsibility to same also come from a divergent slant on the moralistic ideals behind their given situations. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

Herman Melville's 'Benito Cereno'
(5 Pages, 59.75 $ (USD) )
|
|
A 5 page analysis of Melville's story, focusing on the denial and rationalization abilities of Captain Delano. The story ultimately is the illustration of the unthinking prejudice of race based on a lack of understanding, and the author makes his points against the backdrop of mental instability and lack of mental wholeness. To the charges of Melville's day that the black race was somehow intellectually inferior so that the white race could continue their rationalization for enslaving a segment of their human brothers, Melville takes the less-than-sane notion and uses the backdrop of lack of awareness to magnify the ultimate futility and irrationality in adhering to such views. No additional sources cited.
