It is a play about the suffering of two families that are caught in a struggle of greed, lust, and cruelty which eventually results in extreme amounts of pain and destruction for all the characters.That is, the destruction of the two families results from human behavior breaking accepted laws of nature, and the disturbances in nature result from the disturbances in human behavior.The process of disturbance in nature's laws leading to destruction of human lives applies both ways.Shakespeare is basing his characters' suffering on the fact that the characters in his play did not respect and obey the rules of nature.Shakespeare demonstrates this idea when he points out that at a later point in the play, after Lear is treated horribly by Gone...

In Freud’s view of human reality, the source of conflict, oppression, and destruction in human society is man’s own psychological makeup.Freud’s approach to the possibility of reducing conflict among humanity focuses on understanding the human mind, the aggressive qualities of human nature, and how human beings’ desires can come into conflict with the demands of human society.Because of Freud’s view of human nature as inherently having a destructive component, he does not believe that a ‘transformation’ of humans to communist men and women will be possible.However, if communism is not seen as inevitable or the possibilities for reducing human conflict before a socialist revolution are considered, then Marx’s view of human nature locks hu...

What I see is merely a poet’s interpretation of nature and the views most people choose to ignore in everyday life.Wordsworth feels at one with nature and this is what the author stressed upon when he says, “Wordsworth’s use of symbolism in his poem illustrates a sense of the conviction and deep feelings he had toward nature…” This is very much true because he compares almost every element of nature to spiritual and majestic beings.Hence, the first line of the poem, “The World is too much with us; late and soon…” Destruction was taking place then and as the poet has predicted, it is still seen all over the world up to this day.However, the author then proceeds to say, “…when the progress of humanity was tempered by the restriction nature...
