... and The Lady From the Sea, Ibsen had begun exploring the human psyche in more symbolic, mystical terms,Hedda marked a return to the theatrical style which we term "realism," a method of playwriting in which the internal motivations of the personalities in the play are explored within a specific social context. Other hallmarks of the realistic style include the avoidance of devices such as soliloquies in favor of more natural exposition, causally related scenes leading logically to a denouement, and the creation of individual behavior directly attibutable to the heredity or environment of the character.

... Grendel loses his strength, his body parts, and his blood in this violent scene. He later bleeds to death. “Saw that his strength was deserting him, his claws Bound fast, Higlac's brave follower tearing at his hands.”(line 464-466) Beowulf's unusual and courageous method of killing Grendel demonstrates his bravery and physical strength. Before, Unferth had taunted Beowulf about his foolish bravery but when he and all the rest of the Geats saw that Beowulf's strength and power were worth boasting about, they were humbled. To prove Beowulf was powerful, he hung Grendel's arm, claw, and shoulders from the rafters of the meeting hall.”No Dane doubted The ...

He can fly, has x-ray vision, heat ray vision, and bullets bounce right off him. You don’t get any more unique than the man in the red and blue. So then who is Clark Kent? Where does he fit in? He’s the secret-identity of the Man of Steel. What of his true identity? That identity which is known for his courage. His nobility. His pursuit for justice and his never-ending battle against evil. The chiseled chin, the vibrant “S” that strikes fear in the heart of crimina ...
... Grendal reflects a physical monster, an ogre who is hostile to humanity. Grendal’s constant visits to Hrothgar’s mead hall for bloody feasts made him feel powerful over God’s humanity.

Beowulf, the heroic figure in the poem, is known throughout the land as a courageous man who performs great deeds of valor. He is a Geat, who later becomes the king of the Geats. Beowulf’s strength seems to be a gift from God. As a noble and kind man, Beowulf comes to Herot to save them from G ...
... metal detectors should not be needed, and firearms should not be carried. But for some reason, rather it be a lack of morals, knowledge, or values, people believe they need these things. Without people like that in this world, fifteen people would still be alive, parents and friends would not be suffering the loss of loved ones, and a nation would not be mouring. The effect thid massacre had on millions of people will face us everyday. Will students be safe in school, can we suspect others to do the same thing?
