Moral Ambiguity Morality, a person’s standards of behavior or beliefs concerning what is and is not acceptable for them to do, is a foundation to one’s character. Passed down through different time eras, morals have adapted while ultimately containing the same basic function of judgment between right from wrong. Euripides’ Medea and Shakespeare’s The Tempest come from explicitly different time periods, yet a common theme of a dearth of morality is expressed in both stories. Medea ravaged by a desire of revenge on her ex-husband and Prospero who, “by foul play, as thou say’st, were we heav’d thence” (76), desired to seek revenge on those who ousted him from power nearly twelve years ago. Prospero using a tempest to shipwreck is previous offenders and plotting to sabotage them, and Medea plotting to kill Jason’s new female interest and her kids to avenge her husband’s mistreatment, are both using unjust acts to retaliate their offenders.

Matthew Lymbers; 17463270. 1. Fanon, Diamond. The post-colonisation works of Frantz Fanon can be contrasted and compared with the canon of Gayatri Spivak in her book 'Can The Subaltern Speak' and Jared Diamond's 'The Worst Mistake In The History Of The Human Race'. Frantz Fanon's 'The Wretched Of The Earth' characterises the rashness of the bourgeois after the governing body or governing control of post-colonisers has left the country.
But failure to achieve what he considered to be proper recognition for this work left him with a feeling of persecution. Marat published several books on philosophical and political themes, the most important of which was The Chains of Slavery, in which he voiced his denunciation of royal despotism, a defense of the sovereignty of the people, and sympathy for the poor and downtrodden which he never abandoned (“Marat, Jean Paul”). The events leading up to the French Revolution, specifically the reopening of the Estates-General, gave Marat the opportunity to express his disapproval of the Ancien Regime through journalism. He voiced radical ideas while other newspapers still published very liberal points of view. His writings dwelt on many of the same principles of Abbe Sieyes’ pamphlet, “What is the Third Estate?”, denouncing the aristocracy and advocating for the rights of the lower class (“Jean-Paul Marat”).
The idea of love in the Moulin Rouge is financial security shown by the Duke, “Why would the courtesan choose the penniless sitar player over the maharaja who is offering a lifetime of security, that’s real love.” But in Christian world he believes the greatest thing is “just to love and be loved in return,” nothing to do with money. One world is her life with the duke, sleeping with the Duke a man she doesn’t love, but she gets everything she wants, she gets money, somewhere to sleep at night and she may even become a famous actress. She knows that if she goes to be with the Duke she could leave her life at the Moulin Rouge. “If you hook that duke and you’ll be lighting up the great stages” Marree, “I’m going to be a real actress and I’m going to fly far, far, away from here.” Satine. She believes that a life with the Duke would be her way out of her life at the Moulin Rouge The other world though is with Christian the man she loves living in the Bohemian revolution.

The Duke is paying a lot of money to have Satine all for himself. Satine cannot bear to leave Christian. The interior of the Moulin Rouge is bright, ostentatious, bold, bright, alluring and seductive, where women are exploited by men. The men are entertained by the courtesans.
Women begin to think that they will find a perfect man that will hand them the world, that they should dedicate themselves to finding this man, and that they deserve an elaborate story full of passion and desire. This develops conflict with reality, because love stories like the ones we see in the movies are scarce. In the real world, love is tougher, flawed, and it might not end up the way we planned it to. In A Midsummer Night's Dream by William Shakespeare, Helena is obsessed with attaining Demetrius' love. She chases him up to the point of exhaustion, and as much as he tries to avoid her she is persistent.

Another commonality between Pere Goriot and The Canterbury Tales is that Balzac manipulates the description of the physical appearance and dress of the characters to hint to the reader about their personality as well as to inject his own opinion of them. For example, when Vautrin is introduced Balzac describes him as a “stern judge, his glance seemed to pierce to the bottom of every issue, every conscience, every emotion” and “his debtors would sooner have died than not repay him.” Here, the reader can immediately recognize Vautrin as being the possible villain in the novel and could also make an appropriate assumption that Balzac, the writer, didn’t really like Vautrin as a character. Furthermore, the juxtaposition between the physical description of Eugene and his actions throughout the novel, allows the reader to come to certain
