Recommended: Women in Prostitution essay

This is a true tale of me and my life, or at least for a short while. The

day had started out so well, you see I had become somewhat of a owner of women.

I was interested in this becomes because of the free jobs that came with it. You

see because of my gorgeous looks the women had trouble seeing past it to the

real man in my pants, I mean in me. So why not just become an owner of women to

sell to others for nightly jobs and such and reap the benefits of it all. So

like I said, the day had gone perfectly until one of my women came down with a

sudden case of the backdoor trots. He, he the ol' hag almost released her load

of dung on one of my customers, so I had to get her and take her back home. When

I got to the man's house I entered in grand fashion by showing how I could open

the door with my head. Oh well, that didn't go over as planned but it scared my

woman so bad she finally did just let it go. Then, after cleaning it up we were

on our way out and back to home sweet home. When we arrived I got some great

news that made the whole squirts issue fall back to the back of my mind. I got

word that the King wanted one of my women to get it on with him. So soon I got

the prettiest woman I had. She had blond hair and a nice set on her, if I do say

so myself. She all of her teeth except for three but in this time that's not

bad. I soon put on my Sunday best and headed straight for the castle in which to

meet the King himself. We came in the back just as told and soon were met by

three guards dressed in black and silver. They said to me, " Wait here, the girl

goes with us." Well, I'll be damned if I'm going to let these people not let me

see the King! When I asked they said, "Sorry but the King won't allow it." Well,

what could I do? Absolutely nothing is right. The King sure is a bum when it

comes to privacy and such. I sat outside the back entrance to the castle for

almost an hour. I was almost to the point of sleep when I heard the door open.

  • How Secrecy is Presented in The Millers Tale

    690 Words  | 2 Pages

    How Secrecy is Presented in The Miller’s Tale Secrecy is a prominent theme in The Miller’s Tale and Chaucer uses it to not only make the tale more interesting but also to give the characters more depth, or in the case of Alison less depth. The way that secrecy is presented and what effects it has will be discussed. Chaucer introduces the reader to secrecy at the beginning of the tale in The Miller’s Prologue, indicating its importance, ‘An housbande shal not been inqusitif of Goddes privetee,’ and this immediately makes the reader assume that at least one of the characters will in fact be inquisitive of ‘Goddes privetee’ and that there will be secrets in The Miller’s Tale. The element of secrecy is evident in the characters and their descriptions. This is necessary as the characters in the tale are of a fabliau sort and the incorporation of sex with ‘low-life’ characters requires secrecy, and the description sets the tone for the tale.

    Context: This part of the text is included at the beginning of the drama, telling the audience about Salem and its people. The author explains how a theocracy would lead to a tragedy like the Salem witch-hunts. This is the initial setting and is based on the principle that some people should be included and some excluded from society, according to their religious beliefs and their actions. This is basically the idea that religious passion, taken to extremes, results in tragedy. Miller is saying that even today extremes end up bad- communism, like strict puritans, was restrictive and extreme. It only made people suffer.

  • Arthur Miller's The Crucible

    738 Words  | 2 Pages

    Arthur Miller’s dramatic play The Crucible, takes place during 1692 in Salem, Massachusetts. The setting is important because it takes place during the time of the Salem Witch Trials. The play begins with the town’s girls, led by Abigail Williams, gathering in the forest and starting to dance around a fire, chanting. Reverend Parris catches them dancing, sending the girls into a panic and causing two of the girls to go into a coma-like state. The townspeople spread rumors that there are witches lurking throughout the the town that have put the girls under their spells. This causes Reverend Parris to send for Reverend Hale, an expert in witchcraft and the devil's work, who hopes to rid the town of all witchcraft. John Proctor, a local farmer, asks Abigail to stop accusing innocent people and start telling the truth about what happened in the forest. Elizabeth Proctor, John Proctor's wife, excused Abigail from their house because she found out about an affair between Abigail and John. She lies to the court when she is asked about John’s affair to save him from any punishment. In doing so, they were both sent to jail for witchcraft because they knew she had lied. Abigail and the girls continued to lie about people in the town being witches, causing many innocent people to be killed, including John Proctor. Miller shows the dangers of scapegoating when lies that are regarded as the truth, and can kill innocent characters.

    Persecution has been a round for sometime and can be traced historically from the time of Jesus to the present time. Early Christians were persecuted for their faith in the hands of the Jews. Many Christians have been persecuted in history for their allegiance to Christ and forced to denounce Christ and others have been persecuted for failing to follow the laws of the land. The act of persecution is on the basis of religion, gender, race, differing beliefs and sex orientation. Persecution is a cruel and inhumane act that should not be supported since people are tortured to death. In the crucible, people were persecuted because of alleged witchcraft.

  • Tragedy and the Common Man - Miller Redefines the Tragic Hero

    465 Words  | 1 Pages

    Arthur Miller states in his essay, "Tragedy and the Common Man," " . . . we are often held to be below tragedy--or tragedy below us . . . (tragedy is) fit only for the highly placed . . . and where this admission is not made in so many words it is most often implied." However, Miller believes " . . . the common man is as apt a subject for tragedy in its highest sense as kings were" (1021). It is this belief that causes Miller to use a common man, Willie Loman, as the subject of his tragedy, Death of a Salesman. Miller redefines the tragic hero to fit a more modern age, and the product of this redefinition is Willie.
