Nowadays you hear about people cheating on each other and think of it as nothing. In the time period T.H. White’s, The Once and Future King was set, it was a crime as sinful as killing a person. Guenever is a heartless and conniving woman, who gets away with ‘murder’, just because she is the Queen of England. Throughout the book, Guenever is characterized as weak and evil, because her decisions and behavior affect Arthur, Lancelot, and herself negatively.
The third man in her life, her manservant, is described as a quiet and reserved black man.
Adam and Eve’s interactions reflect this burden of human society by the way Adam responds to Eve as he is giving her the wreath that he created for her. Adam prepares a wreath for his beloved Eve and as he is about to give it to her, it becomes known that she ate from the Tree of Knowledge and because of this he is shocked and drops the wreath symbolizing his loss of love for her. His view of her as his companion lessens because he views her as one in a “fallen” state, i.e. the fallen wreath. He accepts her sinful acts by the end though and through his nature he breaks the bounds of logic and represents the complexity that is companionship. Companionship forces people to make people go through with actions that are often completely illogical. The construct causes Adam to go with Eve out of Eden and face the terror of the future together, a selfless act, but also one of dedication and dictated by their

...e in the relationship. Certainly Adam could speak wisdom to the animals in the Garden, but he speaks to Eve because she is his equal. She is the one to whom Adam prefers to relate his thoughts, simply because he is enchanted by her. In a sense, she is his “only listener”—the only listener for him. Eve has the choice of how she will receive wisdom, but “Her husband the relater she preferred/Before the angel, and of him to ask/Chose rather” (52-54). Not only does Adam choose Eve to relate his thoughts to, but she chooses him to relate wisdom to her. Though there are only two humans in Paradise, Milton presents the relationship of Adam and Eve as one of choice. Both partners could get what they need from other sources, but they choose to receive wisdom and respect from one another instead. The fulfillment of their needs is more enjoyable in the context of love.
In contrast, the Adam and Eve creation described in Chapter Two of Genesis appears quite different. Adam was created first, from the dust of the earth as well as G-d blowing into his nostrils. Furthermore, unlike Adam’s creation in Chapter One which included Man’s Purpose as active verbs, the Adam in Chapter Two’s mission in life includes only passive verbs, such as “keep, guard, protect”; these are verbs of submission. Moreover, as stated earlier, Adam was cre...

Through the characters of Adam and Eve, Milton has illustrated what a perfect relationship is supposed to be like. From the beginning, the couple is represented as very happy, as they were, “so hand in hand they passed, the loveliest pair/ That ever since in love’s embraces met…(4.321-322). Reader’s come to the conclusion that Adam and Eve represent the perfect idyllic relationship. As the epic poem continues, Adam and Eve’s relationship begins to change as a result of the two’s questionable behavior along with the appearance of Satan in Paradise. Eve is created for Adam, "The likeness, thy fit help, thy other self, / Thy wish exactly to thy heart 's desire" (8.450-451). A Milton purpose chooses specific words such as likeness and fit to show that a hierarchy exists between Adam and Eve. The hierarchical system puts a strain on their relationship as Eve wishes to be just as equal as Adam. Her desire to be see as the same rank as Adam, leads to her temptation ultimately causing the

Hate, a passionate dislike for something or someone, has taken part of every war in the world, whether it is a political or civil one. Macklemore, the rapper of the song “Same Love”, uses powerful lyrics and imagery in many of his songs. It is in “Same Love” that he raps about a social issue that the world has been dealing with since, some could argue, the beginning of time. In the song “Same Love” he uses his rap to speak to everyone who can make a change in this world. “Same Love” by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis bring awareness to the unjust issue of homophobia by giving people the information they need to obtain a voice and stand up for humans who have had their rights stolen.
“With more desire to know, and to reject envious commands.” (Book 4, line 522-523) Milton claims eve, and therefore all women have some sort of desire to learn but in their own ways sometimes. He argues that some women won’t follow “commands” even if they are only suggestions. Like in book 9 of paradise lost. Adam wants the two to stay together, but Eve rejects this saying that they have too much work to be done and must separate and divide the labor. (Book 9, Page 2096) This scene shows Eves pride. She wants to prove that she can handle herself and work as hard as Adam does on her own. While Milton above said that women should take some responsibility for their actions and abilities, he also tells us that being too proud can be a problem. Women, like eve need to learn when to accept help, and when to be independent. If Eve had accepted Adam’s help and advice to stay together she might not have been to blame for the fall of
