Poverty in the world

In the developed world live about 20% of the global population. However, not all who live in it have an acceptable standard of living. As in the poorest countries, a few concentrated most of the wealth. The growth of global wealth in developed countries is accompanied, paradoxically, an increase of contrasts and, above all, an increase of poor population. For example, in the United States, the 400 largest fortunes in the country a concentrated amount of resources equivalent to saving all the rest of U.S. citizens, while twenty million people go hungry fruitless days a month, according to a study by the University of Harvard. The expansion of this phenomenon, a partner in many of the cases to the problems of marginality in urban areas, has led to coin a new term: the 'Fourth World' to refer to the group of disadvantaged population in more developed areas. That is, the 'Fourth World' is made up of poor people in rich countries.

Tragic stories

The thief and dogs and Hamlet are expressed many negative feelings, in the end these are merged to cause the desire for revenge in the main characters. Both have similar focus on revenge, but different plot. In Thief and the dogs Said became sad because he felt that the world had rejected him, and he created his own wish for revenge. In contrast, Hamlet tried to refuse this feeling; he thought that revenge idea was not the right choice, but the events pushed him to commit those actions. In both stories the secondary characters play an important role at the end, the way they deal with the principal characters made to change their mind.

My Analysis of Hamlet

Hamlet is a name; his speeches and sayings but the idle coinage of the poet's brain. What then, are they not real? They are as real as our own thoughts. Their reality is in the reader's mind. It is we who are Hamlet. This play has a prophetic truth, which is above that of history. Whoever has become thoughtful and melancholy through his own mishaps or those of others; whoever has borne about with him the clouded brow of reflection, and thought himself "too much i' the sun"; whoever has seen the golden lamp of day dimmed by envious mists rising in his own breast, and could find in the world before him only a dull blank with nothing left remarkable in it; whoever has known "the pangs of despised love, the insolence of office, or the spurns which patient merit of the unworthy takes"; he who has felt his mind sink within him, and sadness cling to his heart like a malady, who has had his hopes blighted and his youth staggered by the apparitions of strange things.

Oedipus Rex

the play treats the murder of Laius as a detective story. Indeed, Oedipus speaks of tracks and traces, and the oracle gives little clue as to the events that will unfold. What Oedipus does as the tragic hero, however, is to speed up this revelation of events. Notable too is the literal plague that affects the city as well as the metaphorical ‘pollution’ within it: namely Oedipus himself. Indeed, in Athenian culture, the incest which Oedipus has committed - as well as the murder of his father - would have been considered both crimes against the natural order and crimes against the gods. Incest, of course, still carries a weighty taboo in most societies today. Because he fathered a child with his mother, he has engendered a plague on Oedipus' kingdom, Thebes, which has rendered the women sterile.
