There is no main hero, no central conflict, and no sustained objective. What it is \u003ci\u003eabout\u003c\/i\u003e (power, defiance, art, love, abuse, grief, rape, war, beauty, and so on) is as changeable as the beings that inhabit its pages. The sustained thread is power and how it transforms us, both those of us who have it and those of us who do not. For those who are brutalized and traumatized, transformation is often the outward manifestation of their trauma. A beautiful virgin is caught in the gaze of someone more powerful who rapes or tries to rape them, and they ultimately are turned into a tree or a lake or a stone or a bird. The victim's objectification is clear: They are first a visual object, then a sexual object, and finally simply an object. Around 50 of the epic's tales involve rape or attempted rape of women. Past translations have obscured or mitigated Ovid's language so that rape appears to be consensual sex. Through her translation, McCarter considers the responsibility of handling sexual and social dynamics. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThen why continue to read Ovid? McCarter proposes Ovid should be read because he gives us stories through which we can better explore ourselves and our world, and he illuminates problems that humans have been grappling with for millennia. Careful translation of rape and the body allows readers to see Ovid's nuances clearly and to better appreciate how ideas about sexuality, beauty, and gender are constructed over time. This is especially important since so many of our own ideas about these phenomena are themselves undergoing rapid metamorphosis, and Ovid can help us see and understand this progression. The \u003ci\u003eMetamorphoses\u003c\/i\u003e holds up a kaleidoscopic lens to the modern world, one that offers us the opportunity to reflect on contemporary discussions about gender, sexuality, race, violence, art, and identity.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eOvid \u003c\/b\u003e(43 BC-AD 17) was born in central Italy.

In the sparkling comedy of manners that follows, Jane Austen shows us the folly of judging by first impressions and superbly evokes the friendships, gossip and snobberies of provincial middle-class life.

After his death in 1805, she moved around with her mother; in 1809, they settled in Chawton, near Alton, Hampshire. Here she remained, except for a few visits to London, until in May 1817 she moved to Winchester to be near her doctor. There she died on July 18, 1817.

Her realism and biting social commentary have gained her historical importance among scholars and critics, though her work brought her little personal fame and only a few positive reviews during her lifetime. Her plots, though fundamentally comic, highlight the dependence of women on marriage to secure social standing and economic security. Although Jane Austen wrote from her teenage years into her thirties, her most notable writing was done from 1811 until 1816. During this period, she wrote and extensively revised three major novels and began a fourth, \u003ci\u003eSense and Sensibility\u003c\/i\u003e (1811), \u003ci\u003ePride and Prejudice\u003c\/i\u003e (1813), \u003ci\u003e Mansfield Park\u003c\/i\u003e (1814), and \u003ci\u003eEmma \u003c\/i\u003e(1816). She wrote two additional novels, \u003ci\u003eNorthanger Abbey\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003ePersuasion\u003c\/i\u003e, both published posthumously in 1818, and began a third, which was eventually titled \u003ci\u003eSanditon\u003c\/i\u003e, but she died before completing it at the age of 41.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1232\u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.3 x 9.55 x 6.8 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 08, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e\n \n \u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n \n \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuiz Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pride and Prejudice (Unabridged)\u003c\/div\u003e\n \n \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Upper Grades, 9-12\u003c\/div\u003e\n \n \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12\u003c\/div\u003e\n \n \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/strong\u003e 27\u003c\/div\u003e\n \n ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48398225998038,"sku":"9781631066436","price":42.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/7782\/6518\/files\/CAi5fZZROR9781631066436.webp?v=1783021169"},{"product_id":"sense-and-sensibility-paperback-1","title":"Sense and Sensibility - Paperback","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/reportcopyrightinfringement.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eReport copyright infringement\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003eby \u003cb\u003eJane Austen\u003c\/b\u003e (Author), \u003cb\u003eRos Ballaster\u003c\/b\u003e (Introduction by)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJane Austen's first published work, meticulously constructed and sparkling with her unique wit\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMarianne Dashwood wears her heart on her sleeve, and when she falls in love with the dashing but unsuitable John Willoughby she ignores her sister Elinor's warning that her impulsive behaviour leaves her open to gossip and innuendo.

Through their parallel experience of love - and its threatened loss - the sisters learn that sense must mix with sensibility if they are to find personal happiness in a society where status and money govern the rules of love.

In Vergil's telling, Aeneas's heroic journey not only gave Romans and Italians a thrilling origin story, it established many of the fundamental themes of Western life and literature--the role of duty and self-sacrifice, the place of love and passion in human life, the relationship between art and violence, the tension between immigrant and indigenous people, and the way new foundations are so often built upon the wreckage of those who came before.

In Medea, a woman rejected by her lover takes hideous revenge by murdering the children they both love, and Hecabe depicts the former queen of Troy, driven mad by the prospect of her daughter's sacrifice to Achilles. Electra portrays a young woman planning to avenge the brutal death of her father at the hands of her mother, while in Heracles the hero seeks vengeance against the evil king who has caused bloodshed in his family.

A member of a family of considerable rank, he disliked performing the public duties expected of him, preferring a life of introspection. He was not a popular figure, and at some point (and for a reason unknown) he went into voluntary exile at the court of Archelaus, King of Macedon. He died c.407BC and is thought to have written around ninety-two plays, of which seventeen survive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 208\u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.51 x 7.78 x 5.06 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 30, 1963\u003c\/div\u003e\n ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50004238041302,"sku":"9780140441291","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/7782\/6518\/files\/E2UsXDnP4B9780140441291.webp?v=1785621202"},{"product_id":"the-oresteia-paperback","title":"The Oresteia - Paperback","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/reportcopyrightinfringement.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eReport copyright infringement\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003eby \u003cb\u003eAeschylus\u003c\/b\u003e (Author), \u003cb\u003eRobert Fagles\u003c\/b\u003e (Translator), \u003cb\u003eRobert Fagles\u003c\/b\u003e (Introduction by)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the \u003ci\u003eOresteia\u003c\/i\u003e Aeschylus addressed the bloody chain of murder and revenge within the royal family of Argos.
