At this point in the novel Tatyana begins to look past the superficiality of Eugene and looks at his heart.

Abstract
In Alexander Pushkin's novel, "Eugene Onegin", two very different love letters are written by the protagonists, Tatyana and Eugene. The paper examines the differences in the two letters in terms of how they reflect the psychology of Eugene and Tatyana.
From the Paper
"The letter that Onegin writes to Tatyana also starts with him saying that she might find the letter offensive and be angered by it. He also says that the letter will give her reasons to mock him and laugh at him. Because Onegin knows this but still continues to write to her, shows that he genuinely cares for her and wants her to know what he really feels, but the rest of the letter does not bring up the way he loves her. Onegin's letter, while written because of his love for Tatyana, does not talk about his love for her. It does not give reasons as to why they should be together. It is more of an apology, a letter of excuses, and admittance of selfish acts brought on by immature thinking and apprehension of intimate closeness."

Abstract
This paper examines how although an age and several thousand miles separated Russian Alexander Pushkin and American Flannery O?Connor, they should be acclaimed for the sheer genius in their writing, styles the different themes and narrative qualities that have kept readers and audiences spellbound for generations. It looks at how Pushkin?s body of works spans poetry?romantic and political, essays and novels and how influential music composers like Rimsky Korsakov and Tchaikovsky adapted the lyrical and dramatic elements of Pushkin?s works. Flannery O?Connor?s work, on the other hand, was largely restricted to short stories. It evaluates how the profundity of her work lies in its uniqueness?not volume and how her stories combine gruesomeness, truth and religious thought.
From the Paper
"The short-story ?The Queen of Spades,? while not necessarily representative of all of Pushkin?s work gives us an idea of the narrative skills that keep the reader on edge. (Pushkin, 1834) The twists in the story combine elements of fantasy. But at heart this is a story of evil getting its comeuppance. Good survives and flourishes. The plot of ?The Queen of Spades? begins with a talk among gamblers. Tomsky, the grandson of a countess Anna Fedorovna relates a story of a secret his grandmother possessed?a secret to winning at a guessing game at cards. Hermann, the son of German expatriate and a man of sober habits, hears the story. "

Abstract
This paper explores the various layers of meaning in Alexander Pushkin's "The Queen of Spades." The focus of analysis in this paper is the character Hermann and his obsession with cards. The author points out the dramatic nature of Pushkin's story by focusing on the final card game, and showing how it is a metaphor for life.
From the Paper
"At the beginning of the story, Hermann is not a gambler because he lacks the resources to be a gambler, but he does express an interest in gambling. As his friend says, "He's never held a card in his hand, never doubled a single stake in his life, and yet he sits up until five in the morning watching us play" (Pushkin 844). Hermann admits that the game fascinates him, but he also states that "I am not in the position to sacrifice the essentials of life in the hope of acquiring the luxuries" (Pushkin 844). Hermann is presented as an outsider, and he is identified as "the son of a Russianized German, from whom he had inherited a small amount of money" (Pushkin 850). Another soldier sees Hermann as reflecting certain German characteristics, stating that Hermann is "calculating," meaning in this case that he calculates his chances of winning and does not want to take the risk of losing because he sees his chances to be slim. His obsession with the cards once he hears the story is understandable, for having the secret of the card play would give him an advantage and reduce his chances of losing. This is figured into his calculation, and so he now wants the secret to pursue his interest in gambling with superior knowledge."

His contribution to the development and modernization of Russian literature. Examines two novels: THE CAPTAIN'S DAUGHTER and EUGENE ONEGIN. Plots, themes. His pessimistic outlook. His lucid, frank, simple, powerful language.
From the Paper
"This research examines the concepts of regulative action and strategic action formulated by Habermas as they apply to the use in the U.S. of the drug RU486, also known as mifepristone. The research will set forth the context in which Habermas's view of strategic action achieves relevance in social discourse and then discuss ways in which that concept has usefulness in illuminating the discourse and controversy surrounding RU486.
According to Habermas, objectively recognized social norms achieve force as regulated speech acts that can be analyzed with reference to whether common understanding is reached about them (Collins and Makowsky 277). Strategic action, which can be formulated as strategic speech acts, is the name given to self-interested (social) action that is meant "to control or influence others rather than coming to an understanding with them"..."

Alexander Pushkin, Nikolai Gogol and Mikhail Lermontov, 1993.

From the Paper
"This study will discuss the works of Alexander Pushkin, Nikolai Gogol, and Mikhail Lermontov, focusing on the optimism or pessimism of the authors as they express their views in their art.
In his verse novel Eugene Onegin, Pushkin paints a generally pessimistic view about Russian prospects, if we are to take the fop protagonist as a meaningful and representative product of that society. Pushkin certainly offers critical comments on the Russian aristocratic society of his time, but his criticism is far from stinging. He actually seems to be very fond of the society he mildly chastises, and he is certainly fond of the wastrel Onegin. It would seem that Pushkin wants us to see Onegin as an innate dandy, born to the part as much as shaped to it by a superficial and passionless society. The novel itself is painful..."

Alexander the Great, 2004.
A brief overview of the life of Alexander the Great and a review of Michael Wood?s documentary film, ?In the Footsteps of Alexander the Great.?
1,234 words (approx. 4.9 pages), 8 sources, MLA, $ 42.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses how the life of Alexander the Great is one of the most well-documented lives of the time, and within all of that documentation, there is a sense that Alexander was either a tyrant or a saint-like human. It looks at how the mystery of his existence is challenged by the propriety of the ancient writings and the individual author?s ideal of the hero, whom the writer wished to portray. It also examines how the value of Michael Wood?s documentary film, ?In the Footsteps of Alexander the Great,? lies in the extensive manner with which Wood discusses the differences between right and wrong in Alexander?s time versus our own.
From the Paper
"Reading the Works of Arrian, Curtius, Diodorus, and Plutarch, regardless of the modern language interpretations still leaves the reader with his or her own impressions of right and wrong. It is therefore difficult to address the man Alexander as a whole. The author?s all tell the story as historians, yet in a very different tradition of history. The historic fable, the genre of its time does two things, it retells the story as it has been retold before, either through other older epic poetry histories or through legend mixed with the narrators own idea of right and wrong for their time."

Alexander the Great, 2007.
This paper analyzes the book "Alexander the Great" by Paul Cartledge.
1,622 words (approx. 6.5 pages), 1 source, MLA, $ 52.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper conveys how the author, Paul Cartledge, attempts to read the mind of Alexander, speculating what motivated the great military leader. The paper discusses how the author centers on Alexander's great passion for hunting game and how it helped contribute to his career and fame. The paper relates that the historical situation is detailed and extensive, which helps the reader come to understand Alexander's world as well as Alexander himself. The paper recommends this book to those who are interested in Alexander's life or military history.
From the Paper
"The main historical figure in this biography is Alexander the Great, as most readers would imagine. The biography covers his life, but mostly discusses his motivations and accomplishments, and what motivated him to continue to conquer other lands. However, the author does weave short but compelling descriptions of other conquers who almost reached the status of Alexander, such as Julius Caesar, so other great leaders of the epoch do make at least an appearance in the book, which helps add to Alexander's stature and overall influence to the age."

From the Paper
"This paper will be concerned with Alexander the Great, who was King of Macedonia from 336 to 323 B.C. Specifically, this paper will consider the extent to which Alexander the Great was deified as a god. Alexander was a powerful and renowned conqueror, and various legends arose during his lifetime which attributed divine status to him. Even before Alexander became a conqueror, his tutor Aristotle intimated his divinity by calling him "'the chosen vessel' for carrying forward the fundamentals of Greek civilization and culture" . There were a number of events in Alexander's career which further contributed to his legendary status. These included his cutting of the Gordian knot and his visit to the oracle of Ammon at Siwah. The visit to Siwah in the Egyptian desert was particularly influential on Alexander's perception of himself as a god. "

From the Paper
"The purpose of this paper is to discuss various details about the life of Alexander Hamilton, based on information provided by the book, "Alexander Hamilton", by Steven O'Brien.
Alexander Hamilton was born in the British West Indies to James Hamilton and Rachel Lavien, who, because of an earlier divorce decree, had been forbidden to remarry. This made Alexander illegitimate, a fact he never forgot and which many think was the driving force in his later will to succeed.
James Hamilton tried to be successful at family life for several years, until 1766, when he left his wife and children on the island of St. Croix, never to return again. Apparently, as an adult Hamilton very seldom said anything about his parents, although he referred more often to his father than his mother. In later life the two of them resumed communications, but their ... "

Alexander the Great, 2007.
An in-depth study of the successes and impact of Alexander the Great.

Abstract
The paper discusses whether Alexander's victories were inevitable or not and if Darius could have been successful in defeating him. The paper explains that there is no doubt that Alexander the Great had a tremendous impact on the world. The paper shows how Alexander's uncanny grasp of human behavior, combined with his apparent belief that he was, if not immortal, at least touched by divinity, made him an extremely formidable opponent. The paper concludes that because he was so formidable, it is highly unlikely that Darius would have been able to prevent Alexander from taking over the Persian Empire.
From the Paper
"However, what if Alexander's desire to conquer the world had been thwarted? There can be no doubt that the face of the modern world would be dramatically changed if Alexander had not conquered the Greek city-states, and then gone on to conquer the known world. Since his death more than 2000 years ago, there has been a tremendous amount of discussion about the impact of his victories. In contrast, relatively little attention has been paid to discussing whether Alexander's victories were inevitable. Instead, the inevitability of Alexander's success has been treated as if it was a given. This attitude overlooks two critical facts."

Abstract
This paper first discusses the content and inaccuracies of Plutarch's historical documentation of Alexander the Great. It compares Plutarch's ancient views to that of N. G. L. Hammond, a modern historian. It focuses specifically on the documentation of the first crisis during Alexander's reign, the attempted secession of the Greek city-state Thebes and how it was conquered.
From the paper:
"Thebes had wished to break free of the alliance Alexander had enforced upon the formerly independent Greek city-states, including Athens. With Athens? support, Thebes declared itself independent of The Greek League, Macedonia?s ?alliance? with Greece that demanded none of the League?s cities enter conflict with Macedonia or any of the members of the League, and would support Macedonia in any action it would take against Persia. Alexander determined to bring back into the league. He accomplished this within hours, razing the city."

From the Paper
"This study will discuss the influence of Alexander Pushkin's narrative poem "The Bronze Horseman" on Andrei Bely's novel "Petersburg". The study will consider the symbolism of both works, focusing on the symbolic significance of the statue of Peter the Great and of the city and society of Petersburg itself.
It is obvious immediately that the novel by Bely owes a debt to the poem by Pushkin. The epigraph which begins the first chapter of the novel is taken directly from Pushkin's poem:
It was a dreadful time, in truth,
Of it still fresh the recollection . . .
Of it, my friends, I now for you
Begin my comfortless narration.
Lugubrious will be my tale.
It is, then, a serious and often solemn tale which Bely ... "

The Divinity of Alexander, 2003.
A look at the extent of Alexander's deification both in his time and posthumously and the ramifications of it.
4,363 words (approx. 17.5 pages), 10 sources, APA, $ 115.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines the divinity of Alexander - promoted both during and after his lifetime - and asks whether it was purely propaganda or whether he believed it, whether his peoples believed it and how they reacted to it. These questions are answered by investigating such incidents in Alexander?s life as his visit to the Temple of Ammon, the aborted issue of proskynesis and more generally the behaviour of Alexander and those around him in relation to this matter.
From the Paper
"Curtius is equally implicit about the manipulative and cagey nature of Alexander in the matter of Ammon. He relates that ?Alexander was? goaded by an overwhelming desire to visit the temple of Jupiter ? dissatisfied with elevation on the mortal level, he either considered, or wanted others to believe, that Jupiter was his ancestor? and mentions the popular anecdote that ?As the king approached, he was addressed as ?son? by the oldest of the priests, who claimed that this title was bestowed on him by his father Jupiter.? The fact that he was ?goaded by an overwhelming desire? suggests that Alexander was constantly driving himself on. This is incidentally reminiscent of the modern-day army advert, where we are told that no one will push you harder than yourself!"

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explores the life of Alexander the Great, first defining Alexander the Great at the apex of his philanthropy and the nadir of tyranny. The paper also examines all the definitions this king of Macedonia had to fulfill in between. The writer believes that Alexander was able to accomplish much in the relatively short time of his military career and bestowed greatness on the world at the time and after.
Contents:
Introduction
Political and Military Impositions on Philanthropy
Religious and Cultural Toleration
Cultural and Governmental Assimilation
Reforms in Finance
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Thus, as Alexander advanced deeper into Asia, taking the Achaemenid Empire into his hands, he was continually faced with the tricky problem of how to balance his role as the ?Lord of Asia? (for the Persians) and as the conquering general (for his fellow Greeks back home). In all that he attempted, he may have been divided not so much by all that he wanted to be, but by all that others expected him to be. In Macedonia, he was a quasi-constitutional king who was expected to honor the customary rights of other Macedonians."
