Abstract
This paper examines the controversial book "Lady Chatterley's Lover" by D.H. Lawrence which is full of social, political and cultural implications. It looks at how, by focusing on the forbidden relationship between Lady Connie Chatterley and Oliver Mellors, Lawrence reveals a great deal about the structure and politics of post-war society. It discusses how although the main theme of the book is love, the unproductiveness, inhumanity and ugliness of life in a local mining community play a large role and how the political elements of the book are clearly demonstrated by Lady Chatterley's life in a society devoted to making money.
From the Paper
"The Chatterleys' marriage was main theme in the story, as society unfairly viewed its failure as the fault of Lady Chatterley, who had a difficult time maintaining a relationship with a husband who was half paralyzed and half crazy. She looks to Mellors to make her feel alive again. However, the prosecution fails to realize that the couple is building a strong relationship that has a good chance of leading to a successful marriage. They can only point finders and accuse the couple of immorality."

"Novelists reflect the prevailing views of their society, even when they disagree with those ideas. The way society views women can be discerned in the novels The End of the Affair by Graham Greene, Lady Chatterley's Lover by D.H. Lawrence, and The Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys. Gender is used as one of many elements that orders society, and when novelists question this element, it is because they believe it is based on a false view of the issue and that it limits both men and women in their interactions and their ability to achieve.
Graham Greene's The End of the Affair is a moral work that elevates life rather than debasing it. The author brings the while forcing the reader to draw conclusions about how people cope with these issues. The primary human concern in the novel is with religious belief, reasons for such belief, and reasons..."

"The Diary of Lady Murasaki", 2005.

Abstract
In examining "The Diary of Lady Murasaki", this paper analyzes the relationship between men and women as seen during the Heian Period in Japan, and Murasaki's observations of life on the court.
From the Paper
"The Japanese at the Heian court began to develop a culture that was independent from the Chinese culture that had formed the cultural life of imperial Japan up until then (Ebrey, 193). Since Chinese writing was adapted to an entirely different language, the Japanese began their own writing system. They also developed a court culture with values and concepts uniquely different from imperial China (Johnson, Oct. 24, 2005). This culture was largely among the women's communities at court and reached their peak by Lady Murasaki. The Diary of Lady Murasaki is a historical document that marks a turning point in women's history. During the Heian period it was considered inappropriate for a woman to know how to write in Chinese and was reserved for men. Regardless, women went on to write poems, prose, and dairies, thus proving to the males that they were capable of writing."

Lady Murasaki's "Court Diary", 2005.

Abstract
This paper explains that Lady Murasaki wrote her "Court Diary during the period in which Bushido was a code and way of life for Samurai men and was influenced by Zen and Confucianism. The author points out that in Lady Murasaki's "Court Diary", it is obvious that Buddhism and Buddhist metaphysics are very much a part of Japanese court life; however, what is not so obvious is that Chinese Confucianism also had become part of 10th century Japan's Imperial court. The paper relates that the notion of impermanence is an extremely salient characteristic throughout the Diary; she writes that all things are ephemeral, reflecting on the aesthetics of the period, which were based on the beauty of impermanence.
From the Paper
"Confucianism influenced the Chinese attitude toward life, set the patterns of living and standards of social value, and provided the background for Chinese political theories and institutions. It eventually spread from China to Korea, from Korea to Japan where it was first brought to around the fifth century. Confucius had a great impact on the Japanese civilization. His teachings relating to ethics, honor, social responsibility, familial obligations, ancestor worship, and observation of rites and historical precedence provide the glue that gives the Japanese civilization continuity and durability."

Lady Macbeth and Guilt, 2009.
This paper discusses Lady Macbeth's guilt regarding the murder of Duncan in William Shakespeare's play "The Tragedy of Macbeth".

Abstract
In this aticle, the writer points out that in 'The Tragedy of Macbeth', even a modern-day audience is struck by the manipulative efforts of Lady Macbeth, whose scheming appears to drive her husband to commit horrible acts, including murder. The writer discusses that Lady Macbeth's apparent guilt by the end of the play makes some people question how much responsibility Lady Macbeth has for her husband's actions, because she shows more remorse than he does. Rather than suggesting that she is not responsible for her husband's actions, Lady Macbeth's guilty conscience actually helps demonstrate that she was as responsible for Duncan's murder as her husband. The writer concludes that although Lady Macbeth is not physically responsible for Duncan's murder, her actions make it clear that she is morally responsible for his murder, and would even be considered a co-conspirator under today's modern criminal law.
From the Paper
"Of course, if Lady Macbeth had kept her plotting secret, never involving her husband in her plans, then Duncan would not have died. Lady Macbeth did not have the resources to commit the murder herself. It is unclear whether this is due to her lack of physical strength, or to the fact that she knew she would feel remorseful about the act, and maybe felt that indirect involvement would insulate her from her feelings of guilt. Whatever her motivation, it is clear that Lady Macbeth does not feel that she can kill Duncan on her own. Therefore, she begins to coach her husband, persuading him that he must kill Duncan in order to take his place as the king. As soon as Macbeth returns home and tells Lady Macbeth that Duncan is coming, she begins plotting Duncan's death. Macbeth tells his wife that Duncan is coming to spend a night, and then leaving in the morning."

Psychoanalysis of Lady Macbeth, 2002.
This paper delves into the psychological reasons why and how Lady Macbeth changed so drastically throughout the play of "Macbeth" by William Shakespeare.

Abstract
A paper which focuses on the psychological aspects of dreams and psychoanalysis in order to make sense of Lady Macbeth's actions. The author of this paper examines how Lady Macbeth turns from a single-minded, ambitious, unforgiving murderer to a guilty, sleepwalking, absent-minded mess. The author delves into instances from the text that suggest what Lady Macbeth was going through at the time and shows how, psychologically, Sigmund Freud?s theory of psychoanalysis would be suited best to find the reasoning behind Lady Macbeth?s metamorphosis.
From the Paper
"In order to make any headway into this subject, an overview of Freud?s psychoanalytical theory is needed. Psychoanalysis is a theory that derives on the idea that the unconscious mind is driven by the sexual urges and primal instinct of man (Quigley 2). One of the most significant points in this theory is the idea that our inborn desires are governed by three separate entities designated as the Id, the Ego, and the Superego (Quigley 3). The Id is the part of the unconscious mind that contains the sexual, instinctive urges of man (Quigley 3). The Superego is the unconscious purveyor of the internalized rules of society; better known as the cautious part of the mind (Quigley 3). The Ego, on the other hand, is the medium between the Id and the Superego; the Ego takes the primal urge under advisement, brings the Superego into the equation, and comes to an eventual compromise between the two (Quigley 3)."

?Lady Lazarus?, 2002.
An examination of the theme of social deviance and intolerance of difference in ?Lady Lazarus? by Sylvia Plath.

Abstract
This paper discusses how Sylvia Plath?s poetry mostly portrays the theme of social deviance and society?s intolerance to differences portrayed by individuals, especially women. It shows how the poem, "Lady Lazarus", in particular, illustrates these themes. It looks at how the poem uses a character named Lady Lazarus in order to illustrate to the audience the effects of the marginalization of women in a repressive society. It examines how the poem is divided into two phases: the first, the establishment of Lady Lazarus?s condition and apparent insanity, while the second phase is more complex, since there are numerous implied meanings embedded that show the duplicity of the woman?s character.
From the Paper
"Lines 74-78 shows symbolisms used to illustrate social status, which Lady Lazarus shuns: ?You poke and stir/ Flesh, bone, there is nothing there--/ A cake of soap/ A wedding ring/ A gold filling.? In this passage, the character shows how social statutes determined in the society is meaningless, represented by material wealth that is but trivial to the true meaning of life. Plath displays antagonism in her society by addressing individuals as ?Herr Doktor,? ?Herr Enemy,? ?Herr God,? and ?Herr Lucifer.? The use of ?Herr? in the poem reflects the evil character of the Nazis; thus, using this form of address shows Lady Lazarus? perception that the people in her society are no different from the Nazis."

?Lady Lazarus?, 2005.
A review of Sylvia Plath's poem "Lady Lazarus".
973 words (approx. 3.9 pages), 0 sources, AU$ 44.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how Sylvia Plath's poem "Lady Lazarus" is pervaded by chilling imagery evoking Nazi concentration camps and the decay of human flesh. It looks at how her comparison of the doctor to a Nazi is a heavy analogy of the patriarchal and oppressive nature of the modern medical system. It also discusses how the overall tone of "Lady Lazarus" is sarcastic, ironic, full of mockery of death and of the patriarchal establishment.
From the Paper
"One of the ways the poet conveys a tone of sarcasm and irony in "Lady Lazarus" is through imagery, simile, and metaphor. For example, in line 4 the narrator describes herself as "A sort of walking miracle," and then states, "my skin / Bright as a Nazi lampshade," (line 5). The narrator does not seriously suggest that she is a "walking miracle" simply because her suicide attempt was arrested. In fact, in a later stanza, the narrator again evokes the word "miracle" to sarcastically suggest that what the doctors do is far from being miracle work. Also, to compare her skin to a "Nazi lampshade" is a curious poetic devise that is loaded with sarcasm and dark humor. Sarcastic imagery concordant with the analogy of Nazism also occurs in the following stanza, in which the narrator compares her face with "a featureless, fine / Jew linen," (lines 8-9). "

LA Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels, 2008.

Abstract
This paper describes the Los Angeles Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels as one of the newest major construction projects of the Catholic Church. The paper relates that the Los Angeles Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels is what the Church calls a "Mother Church" and that it holds an integral position as the lead church in a very large regional parishionership, with more than 300 parish churches under its jurisdiction, in the archdiocese. The paper then describes the grand architecture, parishioners and management of this particular church.
From the Paper
"According to the church's official website it was built to host at least 3,000 parishioners and holds mass in 45 languages, stressing the multiculturalism of the region and city. On a regular basis the church offers mass in English and Spanish on weekdays as well as traditionally on Sundays, several times a day. Monday through Friday the cathedral offers two services, one beginning at 7 am and one at 12.10 pm, both in English. On Sunday there is a 8 am and 10am mass in English and a 12;30 pm mass in Spanish. Additionally there are many special service masses held around this schedule, where national and international event celebrations occur and guest Priests say mass and offer information about international and national concerns of the church as a whole. Additionally, most wedding ceremonies held at the church have a full mass that is usually open to other parishioners, as well as funeral and baptismal services also open to other parishioners. The diversity of the region is displayed in the special services that are offered, in conjunction with regular mass schedules as well as special events. The Cathedral often hosts guests from other countries, to demonstrate conditions of need in other areas of the faithful, in doing so they expose the local parish to the overall diversity and health of the whole of the catholic world and offer its own parishioners the opportunity for global civic support of its members elsewhere. The Cathedral also has many hours of operation that allow visitors and guests to view and tour the cathedral during non-mass hours. In a sense the Cathedral and its support services, such as its gift shop offer a whole list of community events, much like a community center, hosting concerts and special classes and tours."

The Evil of Lady Macbeth, 2007.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper analyzes Lady Macbeth and discusses how we see her evil throughout the play. The paper shows how she manipulates her husband and how she decides to murder Duncan and then plans the murder. The paper discusses how she is not willing to commit murder herself so that she does not need to take any responsibility and also examines how she responds to the murder. The paper highlights how she is more evil than her husband; while Macbeth completes an evil action, Lady Macbeth shows that she is evil in her actions and in her character. The paper discusses how this evil stems from her lack of regard for other people and her focus on what she wants at the expense of others.
From the Paper
"The first way that Lady Macbeth's evil is seen is in the way that she is willing to manipulate her husband. This occurs in Act 1, Scene 7, where she convinces Macbeth to commit the murder. At the start of the scene, Macbeth is applying reason to the situation and talking himself out of committing the murder. When Lady Macbeth enters he states his decision not to continue saying "We will proceed no further in this business" (I, vii). His reasons include that Duncan has been good to him. At this point, Macbeth seems like a good and reasonable man. Lady Macbeth then replies. Rather than acknowledge Macbeth's goodness, she chides him and calls him a coward."

"The Miracles of Our Lady of Rocamadour", 2007.
Looks at "The Miracles of Our Lady of Rocamadour", translated and edited by Marcus Bull, to understand the concepts of need in the Middle Ages.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that the miracle stories in "The Miracles of Our Lady of Rocamadour", a formidable body of work, highlight contemporary medieval thought regarding the issue of need and its relief in the Middle Ages. In particular, the paper explains that the miracle stories show the contemporary thought during the Middle Ages on the issue of need and how it was believed it could be cured through divine belief. The paper also relates that the main point that can be drawn from this large collection of stories about miraculous healings is that people in the Middle Ages had lost hope in an earthly source to resolve the issues of why they were needy. As such, they went to the only sphere in which they believed earthly problems of need could be solved; through the supernatural intervention and 'miraculous holy radiance' of a saint who could remove earthly woes and resolve the causes of human need - in this instance, the miraculous "Our Lady of Rocamadour".
From the Paper
"Nevertheless, the stories show an almost systematic progression from seeking cure by 'traditional' means to one delivered by prayer and devotion to "Our Lady of Rocamadour". Thus, in a case where a knight is run through the stomach with a lance, it is stated that the doctors' 'skills were not enough to make their patient well', so they seized 'the opportunity to run away' . In the instance of Count Robert, 'doctors applied poultices which did absolutely no good, and they lost the hope that the arm would get better' . Elsewhere, a mad woman could not be helped by 'physician's arts'."

Abstract
Anton Chekhov?s short story, entitled, ?The Lady with the Dog,? is a love story between the two main characters, Dmitri Gurov and Anna Sergeyevna. The writer looks at the struggle that they experience as they try to prevent their affair from happening, especially since they are already married and have their own respective families to live with. The writer explains that in addition to their love story, the primary focus of the story is the illustration of the development of Dmitri Gurov?s character. It shows how Dmitri?s development as the main character in the story can be illustrated through a study and analysis of his life and outlook in life before, during and after he met Anna Sergeyevna, referred to in the story as the ?lady with the dog.?
From the Paper
"The first analysis of Dmitri Gurov?s character can be seen in his life before he met Anna, and this is found in Chapter 1 of the story. Dmitri Gurov is introduced in the story as an already married man, and has one daughter and two sons from his marriage. Dmitri?s life is full of treachery and boredom, mainly because he lives with a woman whom he does not love, and has a profession which he does not want to practice (Dmitri was interested in the arts, but has been given a job at a bank instead). The following passage from the short story illustrates how Dmitri?s life can be described as ?lifeless,? as if Dmitri had no life to live at all. Chekhov tells his readers: ?In the society of men he was bored and not himself, with them he was cold and uncommunicative; but when he was in the company of women he felt free? ? but Chekhov also tells his readers that Dmitri ?? every intimacy, which at first so agreeably diversifies life and appears a light and charming adventure, inevitably grows into a regular problem of extreme intricacy, and in the long run the situation becomes unbearable.? These passages tells us that before meeting with Anna, Dmitri is a bored man who finds relief from boredom through adultery, but his relationship with other women also becomes ?unbearable? for him, since Dmitri seem to look at women as ?temporary relief? from his dreary and boring life. Thus, Dmitri Gurov is shown as an irresolute and heartless man who finds women as mere commodities to suit his need to experience fun and excitement in life, and to boost his deflated ego and pride as a result of his living with an ?unbearable? woman, his wife."
