However, there were many people that were critical of Wolsey and believed he was arrogant. Overall I think sources 2 and 3 agree fairly strongly with source 1’s opinion of Wolsey. Source 1 talks about how Wolsey considered himself equal to king’s, showcasing his arrogance, backed up by when it says he was hostile to nobles and the public suggesting he thought he was above them. It then went on to talk about how he was hated by all people showing his unpopularity. However this source was written by Polydore Vergil, an Italian humanist who came to England and wrote the History of England, his analysis of Wolsey wasn’t very good as they’d had a personal feud due to Wolsey being jealous and Vergil spent a brief period in prison.
Pausanias, who delivers Symposium’s second speech, explains some of the societal norms governing male homoerotic affairs. The rules by which an older man and his boyfriend ( usually a young man who has probably not yet grown his beard) may behave are rigid and strongly enforced by society’s moral code. Pausanias reveals that the nature of this relationship is pursuer/pursued: “And as for attempts at conquest, our custom is to praise lovers for totally extraordinary acts” (182e Symposium). Pausanias emphasizes the morality further when he discusses the circumstances under which it is acceptable to gratify a lover. It is acceptable when “...and when the lover is able to help the young man become wiser and better, and the young man is eager to be taught and improved by his lover-then, and only

Lauren Ngo Acc. English 10 Mr. Sweger Essay #6 5.15.2014 Okonkwo the Tragic Hero “The story of Okonkwo is in a way the story of our culture; he pays a price because he places too much emphasis on strength and manliness.” Both the novel, Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe, and the modern American culture relate to this statement in many ways. With Okonkwo’s desire to become strong and manly, he eventually causes his downfall due to his fear of becoming like his weak father. Upon reading Things Fall Apart, one can clearly see Okonkwo’s fear which eventually leads to his downfall in the instances of his relationship with his son Nwoye, his own reputation, and even in Okonkwo’s death itself. Okonkwo, who has the desire to become a strong, ambitious leader for his people in Umuofia, believes that “Yam stood for manliness, and he who could feed his own family on yams from one harvest to another was a very great man indeed” (Achebe, 33).
In Joseph Heller’s Catch 22, the protagonist, Yossarian, exemplifies a modern American antihero. From the first few pages, Heller presents Yossarian as a flawed man who is only interested in preserving his own life. Unlike the typical, altruistic, and courageous hero placed in so many war novels, Yossarian is instead bizarre, self-involved, and sometimes unethical. Heller purposely chooses to make Yossarian an antihero to imply there are only antiheros when it comes to war. As other novels dishonestly romanticize and glorify war, Heller does the opposite.
He sought to give advice as a peer rather than a parent, which shows his devotion to his son because he is not acting like the dominant father he very clearly is. Chesterfield uses his style of diction mainly for the purpose of showing dominance. He constantly belittles his son and shows his supremacy. The different types of diction used throughout the letter all show in some way the virtues that Lord Chesterfield is imposing on his
Men: Afflicted; Obsessed; Silently suffering. Society has always objectified women but as we move forward into a culture of masculinity, we see that men are plagued too. The obsessions can lead to extreme measures as seen in Ted Spiker’s article, “How Men Really Feel about Their Bodies,” where he argues that men in today’s society have grown equally concerned about their bodies and share common ideals are but are driven by different forces. Spiker goes beyond social silence and voices the “8 Fundamental Truths” that men need society to know about. Confidence, good looks, and health are motivational forces that feed the hunger for a better body (555).
Furthermore Jack’s use of the word ‘should’ instead of could or would, to describe Roy, signifies how, at that point, Jack thinks that all other forms of manhood, other than Roy’s, is not correct . Jack admires Roy and over his time with Roy Jack sees the control and power Roy possess over Rosemary. This leads to Jack thinking that holding ‘power and control’ is necessary for being ‘masculine’. Knowing that he does not own these traits, Jack feels as though he is not a real man and for this purpose is not in favor of who he is. Jack feels the stress of the expectations of manhood from society, he perceives himself as not being manly when comparing himself to the ‘values’ of being a man, and consequently it is these feelings of insufficiency that make him despise who he
The article starts off with the Headline ‘Dirty Boy’ and underneath it, a subtitle ‘Wish your man was less of a slob?’ They both suggest the nature of males. They are boys, then men who are slobs inside. The abstract noun ‘wish’ suggests that it is a fantasy that men will always be slobs and can’t be changed. The phrase ‘your man’ has a possessive determinant which gives the impression the reader has a man which can start to put together the target audience for the piece of writing. ‘Was’ is a verb which implies that the man is definitely a slob, they are making the assumption as if the reader didn’t know he was.
