Abstract
This paper examines how William Shakespeare uses comic and tragic plots to explore the various means of human survival in his two plays "Cymbeline" and "The Merry Wives of Windsor". It looks at how comedy and tragedy are defined by each other and how the juxtaposition of emotions, pathos, close character work, comparisons and suffering and reconciliation are just a few of the topics covered.
From the Paper
"Innogen and Posthumus only have two scenes together, the first and the last, and the time between dramatises both of their maturations. However although Posthumus undergoes harsh experience, not to the same extent as his wife, it is innogen who shifts the play towards a comic ending. Posthumus? soliloquy in Act two may arouse deep feeling and a hint of mental turmoil but does not touch on Pathos. His tone at the beginning of Giacomo?s torment os of an unbelievable one: ?Render me some corporal sign about her more evident than this.? However he does not need a great deal of convincing from the deceitful Giacomo to believe his wife has been unfaithful and moreover has offered her ?chaste? and ?virtues? to another man."

Abstract
This paper discusses Carol Laderman's book, "Wives and Midwives: Childbirth and Nutrition in Rural Malaysia", presenting an anthropological evaluation of the effects of nutrition on the women of Malaysia. The paper examines Laderman's focus on women, including marriage, childbirth, and sexual values. The paper analyzes the cultural superstitions regarding food and nutrition for women.
From the Paper
"Medical anthropology, which combines the disciplines of physical anthropology, ethnography, linguistics and archeology, presents a ?picture of the human condition in the round,? author Laderman writes in her Introduction. And medical anthropology can also be employed to try to understand ?the workings of a culture,? she adds. Indeed, the way a culture works in one part of the world sheds light and understanding on how cultures work in all corners of the world, which is the principal reason for anthropological study. As for the purpose behind her studies and her book, Laderman writes (7) that she intended to focus on the diet (nutrition) of women following childbirth, but to be thorough, she needed to know if ?the diet during pregnancy varied from the non-pregnant diet,? in order to understand the changes that take place ?during the puerperium? (the time between when a woman gives birth and when her uterus returns to its normal size)."

Stroheim's Foolish Wives, 2004.
A look at how life events in Erich Von Stroheim's life found their way into his film, "Foolish Wives".

Abstract
The mysterious Stroheim found countless ways to encourage his facade through his pictures. The paper explains how his lavish spending on his pictures gave him a fairly negative reputation. He could take years to complete his films, including "Foolish Wives". Stroheim's desire for extreme detail, which meant running times of five or more hours, was too unrealistic for the studios and the general public, as well. His version of his art was not compatible with popular films of the time. It took the studios ten years to realize that they could not control Stroheim, and all during this time, he was spending millions of their dollars on his own vision.
From the Paper
"Erich von Stroheim was a man people loved to hate and is the image Stroheim loved to give them. In the film Foolish Wives he plays a man masquerading in Monte Carlo as Count Sergius Karamzin and is using counterfeit money to fund his fraud. The "Count" wears a white military uniform with white gloves and uses a monocle in his right eye. The film takes place right after the end of WWI and the Karamzin presents himself as a military man in order to gain more creditability. He also lives in a kind of menage et trois with two other women who help him carry out his frauds. An American ambassador and his wife arrive in Monte Carlo, and Karamzin sees an opportunity to quiet any suspicion of their creditability by associating themselves with the Americans. Soon Karamzin's lies and deceits catch up with him and his counterfeiter murders him without glory and then his body is dumped in a sewer."

"Peasant Wives", 2004.
An analysis of the brutal reality of peasant life, as portrayed in Anton Chekhov?s "Peasant Wives".

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses how most of the works of the Russian author, Anton Chekhov, involve peasant people, depicting their lives, afflictions, and joys. It examines how he is an author that represents life in a different angle, at times making the readers feel disillusioned or pessimistic after reading his works. In particular, it discusses Chekhov?s ability to illustrate reality about human life through the study of his short story, ?Peasant Wives.? Through an analysis of the text, it posits that the brutality of peasant life is vividly depicted in Chekhov?s literary works, mainly through the characters and themes illustrated in the story.
From the Paper
"The first theme, the theme of realism, talks about the main elements present in most of Chekhov?s works, which mainly centers on the element of familiar and the negative of the lives of people. Through the theme of realism, Chekhov truthfully illustrates Russian peasant life in ?Peasant Wives,? wherein difficulties experienced by people of poverty and the seemingly ?familiar? conditions that they confront everyday give life to Chekhov?s narrative. Furthermore, through the help of the characters in the story, Chekhov manages to add a different twist to these two elements that is characteristic only of Chekhov?s writing and narrative style."

Abstract
"Cymbeline" is one of the lesser-known comedies of William Shakespeare. but it contains all the drama, intensity, chaos. and confusion of a typical Shakespearean work. This paper examines some instances when clothing is used by the characters in the play to carry out important tasks. The paper shows that clothing has been given different terms. such as clothes, apparel. and garments in the play. and this helps in creating the right kind of setting for different incidents.
From the Paper
"From the above passage it is clear that clothing was used as a tool to transform a meek dainty woman into a strong ad courageous person. It was not exactly transformation of woman into man, but a weak person into a brave one. Clothing, it appears, could change the course of Imogen?s destiny-who would have otherwise been remained imprisoned in the castle. Pisanio encourages her to stop behaving like a weak pretty woman and instead force herself to act and feel as strong as a man. To this, Imogen replies that she already feels like a man. However Pisanio is not happy with this answer and tells her to change into men?s clothing:?First, make yourself but like one.
Fore-thinking this, I have already fit--
'Tis in my cloak-bag--doublet, hat, hose, all
That answer to them: would you in their serving,
And with what imitation you can borrow..? (Pisanio, Act III Scene IV)"

The Role of Wives According to Peter, 2001.
This is an exegetical paper that explores 1st Peter 3:1-5 and the roles of wives in biblical texts.

Abstract
This paper explains the author?s interpretation of a passage from Peter regarding the role of women as influenced by scholarly, peer reviewed writings.
From the Paper
"In modern America we have a wealth of opportunity to study the Bible. Dozens of translations greet us at the bookstore, commentaries flood our shelves, Bible studies abound. Yet amidst these great resources we often see the Biblical passages as nothing more than a cacophony and would tear many of the harder ones out if we could. 1 Peter 3:1-5 is such a passage. It does not tell us something that we often like to hear. As it is read over, one might even get mental pictures of a feminist group picketing outside Peter?s office, or maybe a group of disgruntled macho men bellowing, ?Yeah Buddy!? With words like ?submission,? and commands like ?Don?t adorn yourself?.? It is very easy to miss the meaning that Peter was trying to convey. "

Although young adults throughout China married, the period known as young adulthood was something designated for the elite. According to Smith (1994), this time seemed ideal for marriage because it was the stage at which the demands of education and parental involvement began to decrease."

From the Paper
"Since the beginning of our knowledge of classical antiquity, women have had many different social statuses. From goddesses to slaves and everything in between; women have been it all. The status of women generally improved in time as women gained power over their own lives. This is true of two comparable societies; that of the women of Hellenistic Greek culture and women of the early Roman Empire. Both had many similarities while they also had some very important differences. Men on the other hand, have had a relatively powerful and dominate role over women in this period of time."

Abstract
This paper examines how Australia's often controversial refugee policy can be seen to reflect certain philosophies that determine who is allowed to enter Australia and who is not. It discusses the four main philosophies behind the policy: residualism; selectivity and targeting; ?deserving? and ?undeserving?; and blaming the victim (cf. structuralism). It also provides an examination of the current refugee laws, including current quotes from leading Australian politicians regarding refugees and Australian law.
Outline
Under the Big Top: Residualism, a ?Safety Net?, the ?Ladder of Opportunity? and One White Monkey
A Volunteer From the Audience Please!: The Politics of Selectivity
Admission Prices: Who Gets In and What Your Ticket Gives You
Eeny Meaney Miney Mo: The Deserving Desirables of a Humanitarian Program
Beggars and Hecklers: The Price of Absent Security
Crowd Control: Moderating the Masses
Memoirs of a Mime: The Day the Crowd Fell Silent
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The first philosophy regarding welfare in Australia is undoubtedly the concept of residualism versus universalism, as this addresses from the very beginning whether welfare will be targeted only at individuals in need, as in the residualist model, or whether every citizen will be universally provided for regardless of income or standing. Historically, Australia has largely been a residual welfare state in accordance with its tendency to political conservatism emphasising individual self-reliance. Residualist welfare developed in Australia around the presumption of full employment; wage levels were guaranteed by the Harvester judgement relegating government welfare to the status of a ?safety net? for those men who experienced temporary unemployment. The key concept behind this residualist support for unemployed men however was the assumption of limited welfare; it was only intended as a safety net for short periods of time, to ?break the fall towards destitution and sustain a man and his family while they help him climb the ladder of opportunity again.?"
