In 1910, “after reading Norman Angell's book The Great Illusion, Alan committed himself to pacifism, a cause that he served the rest of his life” (Wheeler). Even before this, Milne’s personality tended to lean in this direction; as exhibited in his childhood, a fundamental characteristic of Milne’s was his hatred of violence and aggression.

"Talking animals", characters once taboo in literature, are now widely accepted as a means of teaching and entertaining young children.

"Grayson" comic writers Tim Seeley and Tom King fail to understand the difference between empowerment vs. sexualization which Richard Grayson [main protagonist] is deemed less of an empowered hero and turned into an icon of sexual humiliation. Starting with the concept of male objectification, the question of, ‘Does it Matter?’ arises in terms of discussion. It’s a simple answer: Yes. It does matter and it’s very important to consider even if males fall into the lower percentages of molestation and

Shakespeare's Thieves and Faeries Shakespeare's Puck, the mischievous household sprite Robin Goodfellow, resembles a more benign sketch of Sir John Falstaff and the other motley thieves in Henry IV, Part One. Both Robin and the thieves tend to go by night, use disguises and magic, and act as jesters to their respective royalty.

Rafe and Robin in Marlowe’s Doctor Faustus Rafe and Robin waltz into Christopher Marlowe’s The Tragical History of D. Faustus in scene four and vanish three scenes later. Although they may appear trivial and even intrusive, Rafe and Robin bring much-needed comic relief to this tragic play.

Behind their clownish antics
