Abstract
The paper summarizes the book "Destiny Betrayed: J.F.K, Cuba, and the Garrison Case" by James DiEugenio, an examination of a New Orleans District Attorney's investigation of the murder of John F. Kennedy when he was president of the United States and his assassination. The writer summarizes the main points of the book and then discusses some of the plot's ideas and underlying meanings.

From the Paper
"The book draws on the very real scarring that the American psyche has retained following the assassination of the president. It has been several decades but the nation still winces with pain regarding the cold and tragic event that started out as a wonderful celebration and parade. Those who believe the conspiracy theory rushed the Warren Commission report to the public eye in an attempt to sooth the fear, anger and pain felt. Those who believed the conspiracy theory held on in the hope there would be more arrests and many convictions for the wrong the public was dealt."

Abstract
This paper discusses the fate of the East Timorese and their continued struggle for independence. The paper argues that, if there were security concerns on the part of the Indonesians, it was merely an orchestrated propaganda campaign and that whatever motives were in place among the western countries involved were base and not the high ideals which are touted as being fundamental to the political systems and ideals of those countries. Furthermore, the paper argues that there is a distinct possibility that there are darker, more sinister concerns and that Indonesian intentions had been either largely ignored or kowtowed to.

Abstract
Philoctetes' character is analyzed in an essay format with a thesis statement supported by quotes from the play. The paper shows how his character is complex and contradictory; he has been betrayed by his country but he then betrays the very principles that kept him alive while in exile --with little to sustain him save his morbid wounds, and his ironic dignity.

From the Paper
"Philoctetes character is complex and paradoxical. He lives on an island in exile with only the barest means of sustenance, yet is sustained by everything that afflicts him. He appeals for propitious acts of divinity from the same powers responsible for his unfortunate state. Ultimately he forsakes the principles of autonomy and free will that he espouses with much passion to act as a vessel of the Gods. The story of Philoctetes is of a great warrior deprived of battle and glory who forsakes his personal autonomy and hard-fought personal dignity to return to war. Philoctetes is near death and suffering unbearable agony from a festering..."

Abstract
The writer discusses the characters of Lear and Gloucester. These two characters are faced with the same basic problem: their close acquaintances are betraying them. According to the writer, Lear reacts by exiling or cutting off anyone that he suspects of betrayal, while Gloucester gives his trust to those he thinks remain loyal.

From the Paper
"He begins by exiling Kent, a member of his counsel. Next he cuts off Cordelia, his youngest daughter, for going against his wishes. Finally, he offends the King of France. This not only sets him up for disaster later, but also provokes serious responses from the aggrieved parties. Lear has responded quickly and decisively to betrayal, but he has not necessarily helped himself with his actions."

Abstract
This paper discusses America's "betrayal" of its original priority not to interfere in the human dignity, freedom, democracy of other nations. The paper uses two books about Guatemala and Iran as sources.

From the Paper
"My country will be faithful to the letter and to the spirit of the law said President Truman in Mexico City. It turned out America was neither. We must remember that this was the era of the beginning of the Cold War. America was determined to lead the world. This was not only politically, it was also economically. The African experience was being colonized by Western nations. Their manpower was used as cheap labor. Their minerals and other products went to enrich Europe even as..."

Abstract
This paper examines how Hamlet is betrayed by a number of people and how, as he is betrayed, he reacts in various manners throughout the play. It discusses how through Hamlet's reactions to the betrayals, Shakespeare lays out a process of grieving, hurt, rage, manipulation, self-admonition.

From the Paper
"Did Gertrude have a secret affair while Old Hamlet was still alive?
Claudius may not have killed his brother, if not knowing that Gertrude would marry him. Other reasons that do point out that Gertrude was unfaithful to Old Hamlet was because of her glowing happiness, so shortly after the death of Old Hamlet, and the short period of supposed mourning that is nonexistent not only on Gertrude's part but on everyone's part, and how quickly she married Claudius. Hamlet realizes these all this and it crushes him and so this adds to the grief that he is feeling."

Abstract
The author of this paper examines the theme of betrayal in classical literature. The author looks at examples of betrayal in Anne Carson's translation, "If Not, Winter: Fragments of Sappho," and Homer's epic poem, "The Odyssey". The writer also looks at examples of betrayal as told in the Old Testament.

From the Paper
"In Homer's epic poem, The Odyssey, deception is a theme that runs throughout the whole novel. Athena and Odysseus are deceitful to other characters. Athena disguised herself as Mentor to help Odysseus' son, Telemechus, on his own journey. Telemechus never knew that it was a Zeus' daughter guiding and strengthening him. But Telemechus was not the only character that was uniformed of someone's presence--the suitors and Penelope, Odysseus' wife, thought the man in the castle was a beggar. Known to the readers, this beggar is in fact King Odysseus, back to reclaim his castle. Homer's use of disguises to hide an identity represents how people are never truly themselves when betraying others. The true person is hiding under the facade that has been created, but the mask is what everyone else sees. The deceitful person has been transformed into someone new to the rest of the world. Betrayal cannot be undone--it always lingers over shoulders, and unfortunately stays with the ones that were betrayed."

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that the plot of the story of "Hamlet" is on revenge for betrayal and murder. The writer asks how can Hamlet refuse the beloved ghost of his father? However, the writer points out that revenge often involves other people who are innocent. In this story, the writer maintains that this is true and can be seen in different players. Plans of revenge backfire killing Laertes, Hamlet, the queen and the king. The writer discusses that the main themes of this story are revenge, but the moral of the story is that seeking revenge can also hurt other people too.

From the Paper
"Imagine a cold, dark, winter night a ghost says that he was murdered. To add even more spark to the story, the ghost says that it was betrayed by his wife and brother. In fact, they not only betrayed him, they murdered him. The ghost begs Hamlet to get revenge for his death so that he can rest in peace. How can a son refuse the ghost of his father? How can Hamlet refuse the beloved ghost of this father? The story Shakespeare has written called Hamlet is based on revenge for betrayal and murder. The setting of the story begins with Bernardo and Francisco seeing a ghost who believes the ghost is King Hamlet, which leads them to tell Prince ..."

Abstract
The paper begins with the betrayal of Claudius and then discusses Ophelia's betrayal, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern's plan to betray their friend and Hamlet's struggle with a strong sense of self-betrayal. The paper emphasizes how these acts of betrayal leads to the destruction of relationships and the death of the main characters in the play.

From the Paper
"First and most obviously we begin with the betrayal of Claudius, Hamlet's uncle. Hamlet believes that Claudius is responsible for the murder of his father, although he is convinced of Claudius' guilt he is indecisive throughout most of the play and delays in acting on his beliefs right until the end when Claudius makes an attempt on Hamlet's life. Claudius is the new king of Denmark and will do anything to make sure it stays that way. In order to stay king he knows that he has to keep Gertrude pleased. Although Gertrude herself betrays Hamlet she really does love and care for him. Because of this Claudius realizes that he has to make sure that Gertrude believes that he himself loves and cares for her son. Although in truth, Claudius hates hamlet and wishes death upon him. Claudius is a very selfish character. He is deceitful, manipulative and evil. He is a man masked in betrayal. He murdered his own brother, married his brother's wife, he seeks to destroy Hamlet and take his life."
