Many have speculated that this strange tale of murder and a cover-up was influenced by Ibsen's grimmer plays. There may be something to this idea, because in the 1890s James was championing Ibsen as his plays became known in England. The problem is that James does not adequately motivate the child-murder. He simply does not convince the reader that Rose Armiger is capable of such a horrendous crime. The cover-up at the novel's conclusion may be slightly more believable, because all these proper English people wouldn't want such a terrible scandal. But it's hard to imagine that so ...

The story opens in 1521 when Mary's distant cousin, the Duke of Buckingham, is executed on the king's orders. His crime was daring to suggest that Henry could not produce a healthy son. A year later, Mary's elder sister, Anne returns from the French Court where she has lived as a lady-in-waiting for the last few years. Both the Boleyn girls are remarkable beauties, and Mary (despite being only fourteen years old) is already married to the wealthy courtier, Sir William Carey. Mary's life is turned upside down, however, when the 31-year-old Ki ...

A storm of controversy greeted the novel's release, with historians and readers outraged by some of the novel's claims. Smaller inaccuracies include things such as: Mary was probably the elder sister in reality, George Boleyn was not necessarily homosexual and Mary's two children were very likely not fathered by the king. There were also general inaccuracies over dates. However, what provoked the most savage criticism was the presentation of Anne Boleyn. She is presented as the most unpleasant character in the novel and Anne's modern day ent ...

The Zax is a lesson about the importance of compromise. In the story a North-going Zax and a South-going Zax meet face to face in the desert. Because they refuse to move east, west, or any direction except their objective direction, the two Zax become stuck, as they refuse to move around each other. The Zax stand so long that eventually a highway overpass is built around them, and the story ends with the Zax still standing there. Like The Sneetches, The Zax is written ...

Much of the backstory of the Strogg is not fully explained in Quake II (apart from the manual), but a great deal more is learnt about them in Quake 4. It is interesting to note that the Strogg insignia can be found on some crates in the first levels of each episode of the original Quake, suggesting that they may exist in the same universe. It's also worth noting the Grunts and Enforcers are the only enemies in Quake with futuristic armor and weaponry while the rest don't. This could be due to Strogg intervention. ...

Many bears of northern regions are assumed to hibernate in the winter. In fact, they don't hibernate. Their body temperature sinks a moderate amount and they can be easily awakened. Laws have been passed in many areas of the world to protect bears from hunters or habitat destruction. Bears in captivity used to be trained to dance, box, or unicycle, but it is now controversial to use animals in this way. Bears have an average life expectancy of 25–40 years. The Brown Bear ...

At its simplest, The Sneetches is a story about yellow bird-like creatures called Sneetches. However its most important part is the lesson it teaches about racism. Some Sneetches have a green star on their belly, and in the beginning of the story the presence or absence of a star is the basis for discrimination. Sneetches who have stars on their bellies are part of the "in crowd" while sneetches without stars are shunned and excluded. In the story, a "fix-it-up" chap named McBean appears, driving a cart of strange machin ...

This phrase, as with much of the Sermon on the Mount, has been subjected to both literal and figurative interpretations. Turn the other cheek - Nonresistance literal interpretation. This passage has been interpreted by some as a literal injunction that if a person has been slapped in the face by another as an insult or provocation to a quarrel, one ought not to respond by hitting back or otherwise responding hurtfully. Rather, he ought to move in the other direction, presenting the other cheek (the one that has not been s ...

Deliberately false articles included in encyclopedias, whether intended as copyright traps or for humorous effect, are called Nihilartikels, from a German word. The practice dates back at least to the 1880s. The New Yorker article points out that this type of practice is not unheard of with both dictionaries and encyclopedias. For example; in the 1975 edition of the New Columbia Encyclopedia there is an entry for Lillian Virginia Mountweazel, who is described as a former fountain designer and photographer, tragically killed in an explosion while on a phot ...

The origins of the Sontarans have not been revealed in the television series. The Doctor Who role-playing game published by FASA claimed that they were all descended from the genetic stock of General Sontar (or Sontaris), who used newly developed bioengineering techniques to clone millions of duplicates of himself and annihilated the non-clone population. He renamed the race after himself and turned the Sontarans into an expansionist and warlike society set on universal conquest. However, this origin has no basis in anything seen in the tele ...

Many Christians and non-Christians have criticised this teaching as unworkable in practice, and potentially immoral, as it rewards those who commit acts of violence, without countering them with self-defense or acts of justice. Advocates for nonresistance insist such criticisms of immorality fail to see the potential power of good responding to evil. Advocates of nonviolence maintain that the teaching actually does support self-defense, and in fact puts forth multiple examples ...

Its usage in both psychology and sociology is different from its colloquial use. In psychology, a significant other is any person who has great importance to an individual’s life or well-being. In sociology, it describes any person or persons with a strong influence on an individual's self-evaluation, which are important to this individual, as well as reception of particular social norms. This usage is synonymous with the term "relevant other" and can ...
