Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Seminar paper from the year 2013 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, University of Oslo, language: English, abstract: William Shakespeare's play 'Hamlet' is full of intrigues from beginning to end. One could try to generalise Hamlet, Claudius and Laertes as perpetrators; Ophelia, Gertrude, Polonius and others as victims. Although this distinction is not unambiguous, since Hamlet, Claudius and Laertes are also victims, Polonius the henchman of Claudius and Gertrude at least morally questionable. The tragic ending of the play, where almost all the main characters (Hamlet, Laertes, Gertrude and Claudius) are killed, is a touchstone of corruption.We find corruption mainly in the act of taking and planning the act of vengeance. Claudius' 'self-defence' against Hamlet becomes a source of corruption, too, when he realises how Hamlet could threaten his throne. In the beginning he is well-disposed towards Hamlet, calls him his son and confirms him as successor of the throne. Hamlet does not respond positively to these seemingly sympathetic overtures, since he envisions his 'war' against Claudius, if not life in general as an endless struggle played by unfair rules: 'Th'oppressor's wrong, the proud man is contumely,' (3.1.71). Hamlet is upset with his own fate and the world order in general. He even calls all of Denmark a prison (2.2.243). Claudius as king is a formidable opponent, forcing Hamlet to use all his wits to entrap him, even in the wake of considerable loss of life as the play progresses.

Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Seminar paper from the year 2016 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, Humboldt-University of Berlin, language: English, abstract: I want to focus my examination on the two protagonists Evelina and Lord Orville, but will also take a look at Mr. Villars, Captain Mirvan, Sir Clement, Madam Duval and Mrs. Selwyn. The aim of this essay is to show that the gender relations depicted in the novel are not as unbalanced as one might think at first sight.The eighteenth century is an interesting era, because it can be considered a transition period between the Renaissance, when gender relations were slowly beginning to change, and the nineteenth century, when laws improved women's situation. The focus on the seventeenth and nineteenth century literature among literary scholars has left the eighteenth century a bit underrepresented. Although many things changed or had already changed in the eighteenth century, we can still trace patriarchal structures and ways of thinking going back until antiquity. 'Evelina' was first published in 1778, in the late eighteenth century.

Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Essay from the year 2011 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 2,5, Free University of Berlin, language: English, abstract: Duncan argues that empire can be determined nowhere in Collins' novel The Moonstone, because it is everywhere. There was a strict geographical (England and its colonies) and also social (high, middle and lower class) order in Victorian England. Englishmen and Christianity were regarded superior to the subject races and their religions (e.g. Islam or Buddhism), those were considered barbaric and their believes archaic and of low moral. Most of Collins' con-temporaries believed in the necessity and generosity of imperialism. Nayder even claims that racial hatred towards the subject races was the general, public opinion of the masses in En-gland, especially after the Mutiny in 1857 which motivated Charles Dickens to state: 'I wish I were Commander in Chief in India. The first thing I would do to strike that Oriental race with amazement . should be to proclaim to them, in their language, that I consider my holding that appointment by the leave of God, to mean that I should do my utmost to exterminate the Race upon whom the stain of the late cruelties lasted' (Nayder, pp. 216/217). Collins distan-ces himself from the public opinion of the time and regards the oriental literature which tea-ches Muslim and Buddhist morals as equal to Christian moralistic teaching. This becomes clear when we take a look at his 'A Sermon for Sepoys' from 1858, where he almost praises the oriental ideals of devotion to the service of god, unimportance of earthly properties and brotherly love, which will lead to an eternal life in paradise. Collins claims that the Indians should be taught their own literature instead of a foreign Christian morality by, at least in some cases, questionable English gentlemen. In the Victorian era empire was an important part of the national identity and the empire was to be hold together by all means and ways. A global, imperial economy based on dispossessions in the colonies had already been established and certainly many Englishmen left En-gland for the purpose of making money abroad through trade or even through plundering, if there were offered such opportunities to them. The wealth of many English noblemen was collected through means which would have to be considered unchristian or even inhumane these days. In the middle of the 19th century capitalistic ideals were, at least for some people, already more important than Christian morals or a traditional understanding of honour.

Neuware -Bachelor Thesis from the year 2011 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Linguistics, grade: 2,0, Free University of Berlin, language: English, abstract: Nowadays English has become the most important source of loanwords in Japanese by far. About 95% of all gairaigo loanwords (¿words coming from abroad¿, i.e. words originating from European languages) derived from the English language and it is estimated that about5-10% of the Japanese lexicon are of English origin today (Stanlaw, 2004, p.1 + p.13). The status of the English language is high in Japan. It has become a marker of high education and openness to other (Western) cultures. Nearly every Japanese pupil is taught English for at least six years at school (from seventh to twelfth grade), but there is the possibility for private schools to start teaching eikaiwa (English conversation) from third grade on. English classes are obligatory for university students of all subjects, although it should be mentioned that these classes are usually overcrowded (often more than one hundred students) and that they take place only once a week for 90 minutes. A TOEFL test in 1997/98 among 26 Asian na-tions ranked Japan 25th and last together with North Korea (McKenzie, 2008, p 272). The Japanese government made heavy efforts to improve English teaching within the last decade. It was tried to motivate more Japanese pupils to spend a year abroad, only 1,000 Japanese pupils took chance of this opportunity in 2003, although there would have been provided money for 10,000 exchange students. Besides this, there are now more assistant language teachers - mainly from the inner circle of English speaking countries, but also, to a much smaller extent, from former British colonies - at Japanese schools to improve the eikaiwa lessons. The common eigo (English) lessons are still held by Japanese teachers and are strongly text and Grammar based, usually a translation into Japanese is given.Although the Western world was the model for the Japanese modernisation in the 19th and 20th century and English was without any doubt the means of communication with the West, the vast majority of the Japanese population has never become fluent English speakers.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 32 pp. Englisch.

Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Master's Thesis from the year 2016 in the subject English - Literature, Works, grade: 2,5, Humboldt-University of Berlin (Institut für Anglistik und Amerikanistik), language: English, abstract: I want to start my thesis by briefly discussing one of the seminal works on historical gender studies, Thomas Laqueur's 'Making Sex'. He argues that based on the publications of an old Greek physician named Galen, women and men were regarded as the same sex in Europe for about 2,000 years from the second century AD to circa 1800. He claims that male and female genitals were depicted and regarded as the same, with the only difference that the female genitalia were inside whereas the male genitalia were outside. Men and women were supposed to be different in degree but not in kind. Women were considered an imperfect version of men, since they were cooler, wetter, and more passive. Thus, the supposed sameness of the physical characteristics of men and women did by no means promise equality of the sexes; on the contrary, it underpinned the hierarchy and male superiority. Furthermore, women stood for fleshiness and desire. The connection of passiveness and desire as female traits seems controversial but is typical of the time. The idea of lustful, desirous, and uncontrollable women changed quite a lot later, especially in the 19th century, when women were usually supposed to have no or a very low sexual drive. Although we also find 'the fallen woman' in 18th and 19th century literature, who is unable to control her sexual passion. The concept of a promiscuous female sexuality in Shakespeare's time might seem a bit odd to us today, but if we look at the plays, we find exactly this idea of women being lustful and uncontrollable for men. Laqueur claims that 'Sometime in the eighteenth century, sex as we know it was invented'. This means that Shakespeare's contemporaries would still have had an ancient understanding of.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2009 im Fachbereich Orientalistik / Sinologie - Japanologie, Note: 1,0, Freie Universität Berlin, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Fukuzawa Yukichi (1835-1901) ist als jüngster Sohn einer verarmten Samuraifamilie niederen Ranges zur Welt gekommen. Er ist in der Tokugawa-Zeit aufgewachsen und hat die Landesöffnung als junger Erwachsener und später die Meiji Restauration miterlebt.Er fing bereits mit 19 Jahren, direkt nach der Landesöffnung an rangaku (Hollandwissenschaften) zu studieren und lernte etwa fünf Jahre später auch englisch. 1860 kam er als Gesandter des Bakufus für vier Wochen nach San Francisco und zwei Jahre später auch für einige Jahre nach Europa. Fukuzawa kann als ¿Grenzgänger¿ zwischen der extrem hierarchisch geprägten Tokugawa- Zeit und der Meiji-Zeit, in der sich Japan langsam zu modernisieren begann, bezeichnet werden. Außerdem war er einer der ersten Japaner überhaupt, der sich intensiv mit dem Westen und westlichen Schriften auseinandersetzte. Das Übersetzen westlicher Texte ins Japanische ist sicherlich eine seiner Hauptleistungen, da die Modernisierung Japans zweifelsohne stark vom Westen geprägt war. Seine Schriften zählen zu den meist verkauften in der Meiji-Zeit.Fukuzawa empfand die vom Tokugawa Bakufu zum eigenem Machterhalt ¿zementierte¿ konfuzianische Standesordnung (shi-nô-kô-shô: Samurai, Bauern, Handwerker, Kaufleute) als ungerecht, da sie die Privilegien der herrschenden, oberen Samuraischicht einfach vererbte. Es gab weder für ambitionierte Samurai niederen Ranges, noch für fähige Leute aus dem Volk wirkliche Aufstiegschancen. Er forderte eine Chancengleichheit (¿It is said that heaven creates no man above or below another man¿, Vorwort zu gakumon no susume), wie sie im westlichem Liberalismus zugestanden wurde und legte die Bildung als Mittel zum sozialen Aufstieg fest.Fukuzawa sah die Modernisierung zum einen als Schlüssel zu einem besseren Leben der Japaner, zum anderen als notwendig, um nicht wie China von Westmächten kolonialisiert zu werden. Die archaischen konfuzianischen Denkmuster sollten zumindest teilweise durch ein westliches Verständnis von Wissenschaft ersetzt werden.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 16 pp. Deutsch.

Bereits im Jahr 1961 gründete er zusammen mit dem Dramatiker Betsuyaku Minoru und 12 Laiendarstellern die Waseda Jiyû Butai, die fünf Jahre später reorganisiert und in Waseda Shôgekijô umbenannt wurde. Unter diesem Namen wurden Suzukis Stücke international bekannt und die Waseda Shôgekijô gilt bis heute als eine der herausragenden Theatergruppen der gesamten Shôgekijô Undô. Die Abkehr Suzukis vom Shingeki hatte zahlreiche Gründe, die ich im Folgenden, wenn auch nicht vollständig, aufzählen und erläutern werde.
