Abstract
This paper analyzes the Jungian hero-leader archetype in "The Epic of Gilgamesh", "The Tempest" by William Shakespeare, and "Things Fall Apart" by Chinua Achebe. It explains how by understanding the collective unconscious within Prospero, Gilgamesh, and Okonkwo, the universal truth behind the tragic flaws that define their hero-leader personas is realized. The writer further discusses the basis of the unconscious excess of the hero archetype as part of major literary history of human behavior. In the conclusion, the writer suggests that, by evaluating how Jung's hero-leader archetype exists within the unconscious mind, one can realize the depth of the hero archetype that is found within the annals of literary tradition.

From the Paper
"These three heroic leaders often bring forth examples of Jungian archetype of heroism and valor in their leadership, but at crucial moments they misguided choices that doom them to failure. For the characters Prospero, Gilgamesh, and Okonkwo, the Jungian archetype of the industrious hero-leader often entails the tragic flaw of naivety and rash behavior that lead to their downfall. In essence, a Jungian archetypal analysis of these three characters will be brought forth in relation to the tragic leaders that reside within these classic literary tales of excess."

Abstract
In this paper, the mythological heroic archetype of Frodo in The Fellowship of the Ring has been analyzed through a humanistic perspective. Frodo is archetypal hero that is reluctant, yet he is able to have the faith to overcome the terrible obstacles of being the ring-bearer. The experiential humanism of Frodo's heroism is founded on the mental, physical, and spiritual struggles that he must endure to overcome his adversaries.

Abstract
This paper explains how Poe writes "The Oval Portrait" to reflect his own sense of artistic behaviors in relation to the death of his own wife. The paper shows how details of the painting, which reflects Virginia's beauty, is also present in how the artist of the story is depicted as containing and isolating his wife as a model for his works. The paper explains how this sense of domineering control is what kills the woman that the narrator is looking at in the story. The paper highlights how death and loss reflect a biographical account of Edgar Allan Poe in "The Oval Portrait."

From the Paper
"This study will examine the deep and disturbing biographical presence of Edgar Allan Poe within the literary work: "The Oval Portrait". The "Long--long I read--and devoutly, devotedly I gazed. Rapidly and gloriously the hours flew by, and the deep midnight came. The position of the candelabrum displeased me, and outreaching my hand with difficulty, rather than disturb my slumbering valet, I placed it so as to throw its rays more fully upon the book" (Poe, para.2). The narrator is a highly educated man, much as Poe was in his own studies and experience as a writer and intellectual in the 19th century."

Abstract
Providing an in-depth analysis of the content, methods, and intent of research helps us not only to achieve a greater understanding of the actual implications of the study in question, but also to assist us in determining the applicability of the study to our own research. This paper examines two very different studies for just these elements. Within the analysis, we will look at several aspects of each to demonstrate that, with careful reading, we can determine the relevance and strength of published research. The two studies chosen for this comparative analysis are: Penny M. Pexman and Kara M. Olineck's "Does Sarcasm Always Sting? Investigating the Impact of Ironic Insults and Ironic Compliments", and Yuko Mizuno and May Kennedy's "An Examination of Adolescents Who Were and Were Not Exposed to 'Teens Stopping AIDS'". What this paper will first present is basic information about each of the studies including the theory and key concepts advanced in the article, a description of the research proposed, including the hypotheses and research questions, a description of the methodology, and finally a description of the findings themselves. Second, this paper will determine the Worldview of the research and how that worldview affects the ontological assumptions being made within the work. Then, it will examine the epistemological and axiological assumptions being made. Finally, using Littlejohn's criteria, the theory of each will be evaluated.

Abstract
This essay critically evaluates post-heroic leadership in the light of the leadership theories. It does this by first demonstrating how complicated and contested the term "leadership" is. It then gives a brief summary of Huey's understanding of what post-heroic leadership is. The essay critically evaluates post-heroic leadership (as Huey sees it) through the perspective of the Trait theories of leadership, the behavioral theories of leadership (through a close look at the Michigan studies), the contingency theories, and the more modern Transactional and Transformational leadership models.

From the Paper
"Even when experts agree that management and leadership are different concepts, experts still disagree as to what the reasons are for this difference (Robbins, 1998). Greenberg and Baron claim that the primary function of a leader is to "create the essential purpose or mission of an organization and the strategy for attaining it" (Greenberg & Baron, 1997, p434). They then contrast this with what they say is the job of a manager: to implement the vision that the leader has come up with. They therefore believe that the difference between the leader and the manager is that manager's cope with "complexity", whereas leaders cope with "change" (Greenberg & Baron, 1998). They claim that the confusion between these two terms stems from the fact that the distinction between establishing a mission and implementing it is often blurred in practice. This is because many leaders are called upon not only to come up with the vision, but also to help manage and implement it. Another reason for the difficulty in attempting to distinguish between managers and leaders is that, while many managers do not make good leaders, a substantial proportion of managers do (Greenberg & Baron: 1998).

Abstract
The paper discusses how for most of the years that we have had film and television, the plots portrayed via these media have featured heroic men and helpless, often screaming, women, who stand helplessly by and wait for the male hero to rescue them from the scary alien, the callous criminal, or the vicious Russian spy. However, the paper shows how this has changed radically in recent decades; in both films and television, we have seen girls and women who have usurped some of the attributes formerly associated with masculinity, such as courage, physical prowess, and the use of violence for good purposes.

Abstract

It looks at how the dinner is presented and how these fictional characters would most likely behave under the circumstances.

From the Paper
"The aim of this literary study will be examine a fictional account of a formal dinner party with sixteen famous literary and dramatic figures. By examining these characters within the dinner party environment, one can realize how they compare and contrast each other in their dialogue and behaviors. In essence, the hero of the party would be Holden from the novel Catcher in the Rye, since he has such an in depth perspective on life and how people interact with one another during the night's festivities. The formal dinner will have a sixteen person seating arrangement that will suit the similar behaviors and mannerisms associated with each character."

Abstract
The paper explains that the three main issues that support the necessity of genre studies in film rely on the conceptualization of audience, archetypal universalities, and the categorization of genres to help bring order to the themes and stories available in film. The paper discusses how the primary function of archetypal universalities provides the foundation for genres to be an eternal and often unchanging staple to stories and ideologies that arise in film.
