It is wickedness itself then, that is its own punishment since it will prevent a person from achieving their happiness. Wickedness for ...

No one debates the vast influence that Aristotle has had on Western culture. It seems every discipline, from Science, to art, to literature, bears the mark of his influence. His ideas and his succinct ordering of them have incalculable influences in today’s world. He had rigid ideas regarding human relationships, happiness, virtues, deliberation, justice and friendship. His Nicomachean Ethics is a conclusive work that governs what he considers to be both the “ultimate” good and specific “goods” attainable for man. He believed that things were directed towards specific ends, and that a virtuous entity was one that stayed true to ...

One of William Shakespeare’s most famous plays is the playful and magical A Midsummer Night’s Dream. A play with fairies, young lovers and plenty of humour (largely at Bottom’s expense); this is one of Shakespeare’s most loved stories because of its clever, complicated plot and its entertaining characters. The audience are introduced to the play’s characters: the most important of those being the four young lovers who have a complicated love triangle. Equally as important are the fairies that, arguably, represent the changeable nature of love through Oberon and Titania’s (the fairy king and ...
