Abstract
A discussion of how Singer portrays the Holocaust and the personalities of Holocaust survivors in his book, "Enemies - A Love Story". It tells the story of the entangled fates of several people who have survived the Holocaust and made it to the United States and to New York City. It explains how Singer manages to keep the book sufficiently neutral so that it is suitable for both Gentile and Jewish readers.
From the Paper
"Indeed: in the author?s note to Enemies: A Love Story, Singer writes that ?(a)lthough I did not have the privilege of going through the Hitler holocaust, I have lived for years in New York with refugees from this ordeal.? He goes on to state that having said this, he wants the reader to understand that the experiences of the characters in the novel are far from representative of the ?regular? refugee, but that, in the end, no one is ?regular,? and everyone inflects the experience of severe trauma with his or her own personality and fate. In other words, while there is no one way that anyone got through the Holocaust, there are ways to speak to and of the experiences of many survivors in such a manner that they are representative and, therefore, resonant of and for large numbers of people, including those who have never experienced such a thing."

Abstract
This paper discusses how the biblical admonition "love thy enemy" seems a simple prescription but entails a number of ramifications and contradictions that may create confusion and that also need examination. It examines how in some ways, the phrasing echoes the rule "love thy neighbor," although the statement to love one's enemy seems on the surface to be a contradiction, asking one to love that person who is problematic. It also examines how some analysts also contend that this phrase leads to some misunderstanding, while others see the phrase as a statement of one of the core principles of Christianity.

From the Paper
"Jeanette Rodriguez cites this phrase as a Christian ethical command and points out that it is meant to be taken seriously to bring about change "not by dehumanizing or destroying the oppressor, but by transforming the oppressor and the structures of oppression through an ethical praxis of love" (Rodriguez 317), and the very fact that it is raised in such a way, with the seeming contradiction to love one's enemy, emphasizes both the difficulty and the importance of following this prescription. The call to "love thy neighbor" is easier to accommodate even if just as difficult to do."

Abstract
This paper compares and contrasts the theme of feminism in "Mr. Sammler's Planet" by Saul Bellow and "Enemies: A Love Story" by Isaac Bashevis Singer. The paper discusses how both authors illustrate their views towards the emerging feminist movement in the late 1960s and early 1970s in America. The paper shows how both authors condemn feminism and the women's movement in their own way. They portray women in a negative light and represent the male view at the time these books were written. They support the belief that women should not be seen or heard and they should always support their men.
From the Paper
"Singer's attitude toward women is better than Bellow's, but it is still full of chauvinistic values and ideals. Herman Broder is the main character in Enemies: A Love Story, and there is hardly anything likeable about the man, and yet three women love him. Singer shows women as weak with this theme, because they cling to a man who is no good for them, rather that striving for love from someone good and decent. Singer also seems to have a low opinion of women with this portrayal. For example, he portrays Masha, the good woman who supports Broder through much of his life, as needy and jealous. She loves a man who is married to other women, who lies and cheats, and this makes her as weak as he is."

Abstract
The following paper examines some of the reasons that have caused a
new breed of enemies of the United States to turn into the most dangerous and formidable forces in the world today. After careful examination of the reasons that turned Saddam, Osama and their followers into the most dangerous and greatest adversaries of the United States, the author contends that without appropriate funding, strong support base and inefficient planning, these enemies would have never been able to pose such a huge threat to America and its citizens.
From the Paper
"There has been a sharp rise in the enemies of our country since past few decades and this is somehow related to not only the fact that United States is one of the most powerful and influential countries in the world but also because to bad foreign policy and poor international relations. First it was the former USSR that turned into a major enemy and the two countries remained in the state of Cold war for several years. But with the death of socialism and disintegration of Russia, United States felt it could heave a sigh of relief, as its biggest enemy was no longer a strong force. But unfortunately, this relief did not last very long."

Abstract
The paper discusses the conflict between religion and worldliness, or between the pure and impure in three stories by Isaac Bashevis Singer. The paper examines how the difference between purity and impurity, or religion and worldliness, is quite apparent in these stories. The paper further discusses how Singer teaches his readers a lesson using charming characters, wit, and some tongue-in-cheek good humor. The writer concludes that reading these stories gives a glimpse into Jewish folk life, Jewish roots, and most of all, the feelings about purity and piety that endure in any and all religions.
From the Paper
"Gimpel is a victim, and yet, there is something about him that does not seem like a victim. He allows the people around him to take advantage of him, and he even revels in it. However, he is never pathetic. It is clear he has an inner core of strength and purity, and so, the reader admires his patience and courage. They also admire his wisdom, for he really is no fool at all. He says of his unhappy marriage, "But I'm the type that bears it and says nothing. What's one to do? Shoulders are from God, and burdens too" (Gimpel 11). Gimpel's patience comes from his pure and forgiving heart, and so he is a model of piety and purity. He is truly good, and that is why the people have to torment him so - they are not used to having such a good, decent person in their midst. They can only see the evil and negative in the world, and so they have to torment the goodness out of Gimpel, but they cannot."

"The Public Enemy" and "On the Waterfront", 2008.

Abstract
This paper discusses how "The Public Enemy" (1931) and "On the Waterfront" (1954) are perhaps, two of the most well known films from the early to mid 20th century. It looks at how these films portray illegal activity and gangster infiltration into the mainstream during two different decades. James Cagney plays Tom Powers, a magnetic, cocky, completely amoral, emotionally brutal, ruthless, and terribly lethal individual in "The Public Enemy", while Marlon Brando stars as Terry Malloy, an inarticulate, struggling, brutish hero and small-time ex-boxer in "On The Waterfront". The paper attempts to show how both characters are involved in criminal activity even though their differences in attitude and personality are completely opposite.
From the Paper
"The opening scene of The Public Enemy pans across views of pre-Prohibition Chicago. Exposed to this scene of life on the South Side of Chicago, are two poor Irish boys: Tom Powers and his neighborhood friend Matt Doyle. We are first introduced to Tom as he stands outside of a bar, and swigs beer from a bucket. Shortly thereafter, he is causing trouble in a department store, which draws the attention of a police officer. Tom also enjoys playing a trick on Matt's sister, by putting a stick in her path while she is roller-skating. She states of his well-known reputation: "You're the meanest boy in town... Jail, that's where you'll be some day, Tom Powers!" This scene sums up Tom's character: relentless, self-centered, and destructive, and also displays his lack of respect towards women. "

Abstract
This paper discusses how Ibsen criticized democracy in his plays, most specifically in "An Enemy of the People". The politician is seen as a morally corrupt individual whose only concern is himself. The masses believe the propaganda of those with authority, thus crumbling the democracy, which is supposed to be honest and fair. This term paper goes into detail of the plot of "An Enemy of the People" and reveals Ibsen's true criticisms of the society of his time.
From the Paper
"Written in 1882, the play An Enemy of the People by Henrik Ibsen simplistically describes the timelessness of society and its unchanging conduct through the microcosm of a coast town in southern Norway. Through the protagonist, Dr. Thomas Stockmann, the workers and newspaper men of The People?s Messenger, the prominent politician of the town, Mayor Peter Stockmann, and the common citizens of the Norwegian community, Ibsen portrays the collective masses as self-involved and easily swayed toward a more favorable prospect. The politicians depict the likenesses of morally corrupt leaders, who are often considered to be present the world over. Ibsen?s juxtaposition of such complacent and hypocritical leaders and the credulous masses in An Enemy of the People creates an unsettling ambience of immorality and deceit through the intense greed of both parties. Dr. Stockmann, a recognized and honored man of research, finds himself on the wrong side of what comes to be an overwhelmingly biased debate, while even his own character flaws aid in the dismissal of his authority in the argument that is present throughout the play. In An Enemy of the People, Henrik Ibsen depicts society as a mass of individuals who fear the truth, in conjunction with the ubiquitous elements of hypocrisy and egoism of municipal authorities and the general public, which essentially apply to society regardless of era."

Abstract
This essay argues that William Wellman's 1931 film "The Public Enemy" is a film that traces the roots of crime and criminal development to social forces and environment.
From the Paper
"William Wellman's "The Public Enemy" was produced before censorship and is a graphic film of violence sex and bootlegging. Made in 1931, just after the end of the Roaring Twenties, "The Public Enemy" has two main themes. The first theme is that crime does not pay despite the lucrative ill-gotten spoils it provides to criminals. The second theme is that criminals are not born but develop due to environmental influences. The final message of the film that appears over the image of a phonograph is..."

"An Enemy of the People" versus "Inherit the Wind", 2007.

Abstract
This paper compares two plays - "An Enemy of the People," written by Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen in 1882 and "Inherit the Wind," written by Jerome Lawrence and Robert Edwin Lee in 1950. It discusses the main themes of the plays and analyzes the main characters. It describes how these characters fit into the theme of the clash of good versus evil.
From the Paper
"Narrow-mindedness, the play suggests, is the true crime, but to win, all protagonists must to some degree display some of this quality. Drummond as an attorney must focus on winning in the courtroom, or at least in the courtroom of American popular opinion, not upon showing two sides of the issue. He calls for progress and for Hillsboro to "abandon our faith in the pleasant poetry of Genesis," thus reinforcing Hornbeck's portrayal of Hillsboro and Brady as behind the times, even if Drummond personally sees merit in the town's way of life and Brady's point of view. But there is no 'pure' way to win a political battle, without hurting someone. If someone is too single-minded, they risk harming and alienating people like Stockmann harms his family's livelihood, and like Brady at the end of "Inherit the Wind," who alienates most of the newspaper-reading American public. To gain a moral victory like Drummond for his client, an advocate must sometimes act against his own better, moral impulses, like making his courtroom opponent seem like a fanatic in the interests of persuasion."

Arthur Miller's "An Enemy of the People", 2006.

Abstract
This paper analyzes the character of Morten Kiil from Arthur Miller's "An Enemy of the People", explaining that he symbolizes the rot of the moral fiber within society. The paper describes Morten Kiil as someone who not only cannot be trusted, but who must be watched closely as well. The paper examines and summarizes passages in the story that support this description.
From the Paper
"Eating don't get you anywhere, boy" (Miller, 295). Morten Kiil's first piece of dialogue is in response to Billing's comment of Kiil's hurried eating style. Kiil is a man that does not take time to enjoy his food. He thinks that food is merely a nuisance in every-day life, which keeps him from getting to more pressing tasks. Because he "gulps his last bite" and then gets ready to leave, he clearly is not dining at the Stockmann household for the pleasure of social company (295). When asked by his daughter, Mrs. Stockmann, to stay, he responds by claiming to have business to tend to. He even goes to add: "The only reason I came over was that the butcher told me you bought roast beef today" (296). Morten did not come over to have a chat with his friends, but simply because something that he desired existed at the Stockmann household. He wants to eat the roast beef, not just because he likes it but, rather, because it is a rare dish and something that is free. Kiil's apparent cheapness can also be seen in his clothing. He is described as having a "ratty fur hat" (295). This detail regarding his attire suggests that he does not even take the time to properly maintain his clothing, or at least to buy a new fur hat. The use of the word "ratty" might foreshadow an aspect of Kiil's life that involves shabbiness."

Abstract
The paper examines the role of women in this Arthur Miller adaptation of Ibsen's play, "An Enemy of the People". The paper shows how female suppression is a crucial part of the play, as well as the contrasts between the characters Petra and Mrs. Stockmann.
From the Paper
"Though women are not the focus of the play, their role in An Enemy of the People is an important issue. It is important to recognize everyone?s role in a literary work, because the author might be using these roles to voice some opinion or theme. In this adaptation by Arthur Miller, the subservient lives that women led during the play?s era is a small, yet insightful part of the overall story. In fact, the book version of this play did a better job of handling the issue, because it was more realistic in regards to women?s status in society than the performance was."
