1885.20275 Tragic Loss of Potential in Hamlet, King Lear and Richard III
Tragic figures from classical drama through Renaissance drama signify not just individual loss but communal injury, as a character raised to immense height by the gods (or God) falls publicly. Such is the situation for three very different examples of Shakespeare?s tragic protagonists, young Prince Hamlet, old King Lear, and ambitious King Richard III. Though these characters bear little resemblance to each other aside from their noble blood, all their deaths evoke a sense of communal loss, a recognition of what might have been, and their respective tragedies are all, in a sense, tragedies of denied potential.

1886.20295 The Effects of Non-Productive Work in ?Bartleby, the Scrivener? and ?Life in the Iron Mills?
In ?The Communist Manifesto,? Marx and Engels argue that ?The modern bourgeois society that has sprouted from the ruins of feudal society has not done away with class antagonisms. It has but established new classes, new conditions of oppression, new forms of struggle in place of the old ones? (445). Modern authors confront these new struggles through stories about workers, dramatizing the physical and psychological effects of their situation within the capitalist system. Two American stories, Melville?s ?Bartleby, the Scrivener? and Davis?s ?Life in the Iron Mills,? present protagonists who are proletariat workers. In both cases, these laborers find humanity at odds with proletariat work. As their labor is exploited to increase capital, Bartleby and Hugh Wolfe are, in a sense, erased as individual humans.

1888.20307 Tragedy of the Common Man in Death of a Salesman
Miller presents his protagonist, Willy Loman, as the tragic common man. Through this characterization, Miller exposes the American Dream of upward mobility as the mythology that has replaced that of the ordered universe. This modern mythology claims that any man can achieve greatness, not through the will of gods but through personal will. Unlike a classical tragic hero, whose trouble coincides with a disturbance in universal order, Loman?s modern tragedy lies in his steadfast belief in the artificial capitalist system that betrays him.

1890.20317 Tuesdays with Morrie
This three-page undergraduate paper examines the book, Tuesdays with Morrie, by Mitch Albom. The author analyzes the statement, ?I know it is more important than almost everything they taught us in college,? and concludes that Mitch was saying that while college teaches important skills, it rarely teaches students the vital importance of seeking to understand the most profound meanings of life. He said this because he finally understood what was really important and meaningful and what was not.
