Abstract
This paper explains that, in Anton Chekhov's "The Lady with the Pet Dog", the writer achieves success through his mastery of the technique of characterization. The author points out that the most striking feature of the story is Gurov's metamorphosis; he moves from being a self-centered snob to a man transformed by love. The paper stresses that Chekhov's ability to establish the character of Gurov as a detestable man makes his metamorphosis even more powerful.
From the Paper
"The cause for Gurov's metamorphosis is Anna and the profound emotions he experiences after being with her. Chekhov masterfully handles Gurov's transformation in that his change is not immediate but rather gradual. Gurov does not intend to fall in love. In fact, he treats Anna and her needs as rather trivial. For example, when she seeks approval, or respect, after they sleep together, Gurov does not respond. Instead, he only eats a slice of watermelon in silence that lasts for "at least half of an hour" (200). When Anna begins to berate herself, Gurov becomes bored and irritated with her."

Abstract
This paper explains that Iago, from William Shakespeare's play, "Othello," is probably one of the best evil characters ever created. The author points out that he is an interesting case study because he is proud of his evilness and plans to use it to his utmost abilities to bring Othello down. The paper relates that another aspect about Iago's character that makes him so detestable is that he really has no reasonable excuse to hate Othello so much; he is not crazy, but rather is smart and clever, two characteristics that make him even more dangerous.
From the Paper
"Another characteristic of Iago that is unforgettable is his cleverness throughout the entire play. Iago must know Othello well because he demonstrates that he knows just the right things to say to Othello to spur his anger and jealousy. Robert Heilman claims, "Wit is Iago's instrument to compensate for what he does not have. He perversely hates and yet lusts after what he does not have . . . and he undertakes to disparage it, minimize it, debunk it, and destroy it." Once he knows what it is he wants to do, he has no trouble achieving his goal. Critic Harold Bloom states that Iago's ruination of Othello is in some ways too subtle for criticism to paraphrase. Iago suggests Desdemona's infidelity by at first not suggesting it, but hovering near and around it. This is all too true."

Abstract
This paper describes the eating of human flesh by several killers including the infamous Albert Fish, Joachim Kroll and Jeffrey Dahmer. The paper conjures that the answer to this detestable and violent act lies somewhere in the depraved and sick minds of these individuals that themselves were brutalized by child rape, physical battery and outright torture by relatives or even their own parents.

From the Paper
"In the early 1930s, when President Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal was helping to stabilize the American economy as a result of the Great Depression, Albert Hamilton Fish, a serial killer and cannibal known as the Gray Man, the Werewolf of Wysteria and the Brooklyn Vampire, was under arrest in New York City for the kidnapping and brutal murder of twelve-year-old Grace Budd. In 1928, Mr. Fish, who had assumed the name of Mr. Howard, became a close friend of the Budd family and was allowed to take Grace to a birthday party."

Abstract
This paper explores how Marx emphasized the significance of "class" and social distinction in "The Communist Manifesto", but he did not provide a definition of what "class" actually was. Through investigating the concept of class within the "Communist Manifesto", the reader witnesses why Marx did not supply a definition for "class". In terms of his views upon class and society, the nature of class within human history has characterized the role of every principle humanity is supposed to detest and prohibits the acceptable conquest of those qualities the human being is supposed to idealize.
From the Paper
"Of specific note by Marx are the classes of the "Proletarian" and the "Bourgeois". For Marx, the new class of the Bourgeois (interpreted as the industrialist class) is the cause of a new era of social class strife. Marx writes: "Our epoch, the epoch of the bourgeoisie, possesses, however, this distinctive feature: it has simplified the class antagonisms." (35) In this concept of class antagonisms, Marx refers to the concept that the middle class of the Bourgeois now has powers that were forbidden to the peasantry, and this serves to further polarize the classes into those that rank as the "Bourgeois" and those that rank among the "Proletarian"."

Abstract
The author of this paper surmises that there may be a deliberate intent in the popular portrayal of the Frankenstein tale as a simplistic, entertaining horror story, in order to avoid drawing people's attention to the underlying theme of the book. The author claims in his paper that, rather than Victor Frankenstein, it is actually society that was responsible for transforming this intelligent and compassionate creation into a detested, murdering monster (by abuse and rejection of those individuals who happen to be 'unconventional').
From the Paper
"Mary Shelley s Frankenstein does indeed contain a monster, but its identity is open to debate. Victor Frankenstein s creation, who is generally considered to be the monster, is actually an individual who was born with a natural inclination towards intelligence, kindness and love but, through his abandonment by his father figure, the rejection by those he meets, and the prejudiced and inhuman treatment he receives from society, the creation grows increasingly miserable, isolated, lonely and outcast. If the creation is to be considered a monster, then it was made so by society, both directly through its own actions and indirectly through the socialized actions of Victor Frankenstein. Society, with its unhealthy emphasis on the values of beauty, normality and conformity, and in its discriminatory, prejudiced and uncaring treatment of those who are unwilling, or unable to meet these expectations, is solely responsible for the creation of Frankenstein s monster ."

Abstract
This essay reviews the translation of Robert Graves, as revised by Michael Grant, of Suetonius' chapter on Nero, the last Caesarean Emperor. It portrays Nero as a man and a ruler who is so beset and eventually overcome by his personal insecurities and his vices that he became a bloodthirsty, paranoid and ineffective tyrant whose downfall after a short reign of 14 years between the ages of 17 and 31 came about because he was universally detested.

"NERO (37-68 A.D.)
This essay reviews the translation of Robert Graves, as revised by Michael Grant, of Suetonius' chapter on Nero, the last Caesarean Emperor. It portrays Nero as a man and a ruler who is so beset and eventually overcome by his personal insecurities and his vices that he became a bloodthirsty, paranoid and ineffective tyrant whose downfall after a short reign of 14 years between the ages of 17 and 31 came about because he was universally detested. The author's narrative style is compelling and revealing of stark reality. His treatment of his subject was advanced for his times because most contemporary historians tended to eulogize their rulers or deal with them superficially. However, the book may fall short of being a comprehensive and accurate analysis of Nero and his times in that it fails to offer a comprehensive ..."

Abstract
Background and Causes of the Conflict For more than a century, the fate of the Korean peninsula has been largely shaped by rivalries among great powers with interests in the Far East. By winning the Sino-Japanese War of 1893-4 and the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-5, Japan obtained control of Korea. Hastings said that until 1945, "the Japanese maintained their ruthless, detested rule in Korea" (25). After Japan's defeat, Korea was temporarily divided along the 38th parallel between invading Soviet and arriving American occupation forces.
