From the Paper
"His self-realization of learning who he was through his own shoes and not by walking around in someone else's shoes was a profound piece of writing. What helped him get to this point and form a closer bond with his uncle was founding out the main reason why the family was resentful towards Tiger. He learned a lot more about himself through analyzing Tiger's relationship with Mark. Tiger taught him the overall challenges one has to face in nurturing and feasting a relationship with certain situations. This further helps him establish an affectionate relationship with his old friend when he discovers the secret crush he had had on Matt after their reunion. "

"The title of the play Prometheus Bound is a boldly provocative poetic gesture indicating that the action is laden with multiple resonances with multiple meanings for the word bound pointing toward converging and conflicting ideas about human experience. The purpose of this research is to examine ways in which the word bound which has several meanings resonates thematically in the action of Aeschylus's Prometheus Bound. The plan of the research will be to set forth multiple meanings of bound and then to discuss ways in which ..."

Abstract
This paper identifies the "Moment of Revelation" or the "Reversal and Recognition" in each of these plays and discusses what they imply about the relationship between fate and free will in the Greek mind. This paper provides a summary of the Greek plays, "Oedipus Rex" and "Prometheus Bound" to identify these specific moments, followed by a discussion of what they imply about the relationship between fate and free will in the Greek mind. A summary of the research is provided in the concluding paragraph.
From the Paper
"The debate over whether mankind is possessed of free will that allows for individual decisions in the "Great Scheme of Things," or the view that humanity is merely "puppets on a god-string" has been the source of much controversy over the millennia. The ancient Greeks explored some serious thoughts about the concept of humanity's free will in the face of what must be considered destiny, and the tragic moral dilemmas that resulted in their plays concerning mankind's encounters with a preordained divine wall provided them with both a source of entertainment as well as some perplexing moral questions that provide some insights into how people have come to view these issues today."

Abstract
This paper is an analysis of "Prometheus Bound", expounding the knowledge of the characters in the ancient play. The author explores the symbolism and shows the relationship between the play and the author?s time period.
From the Paper
"Prometheus and Epimetheus, together, represent those qualities that are essential for all of us if we are to observe and judge our behavior. Living life creatively requires both of these perceptions- both looking ahead and looking back. They are ways of knowing the world and ourselves. Prometheus stands up to the wrath of Zeus and accepts his punishment. He controls his own destiny in the sense that, knowing the punishment to come, he does not refuse the task at hand. We too, control our own destinies in this way. Either we can see opportunity as a risk, and therefore refuse it, or we can welcome the challenge of growth, even though it will bring changes that involve decision ? making or commitment. Prometheus does what he thinks is in the interest of humankind, regardless of the cost in personal suffering. In our own lives, what is sometimes a fearful journey can disclose a discovery, if we are willing to tackle the situation or problem directly."

Abstract
The writer of this paper clearly describes American life in the 1950s as vividly detailed in Elaine Tyler May's novel "Homeward Bound." In order to reveal the roots of the 1950s family, May discusses intimate relationships in a sociological setting during the depression years. The author's novel also clarifies the structure of the 1950s marriage with its emphasis on both self-sacrifice and togetherness. This paper describes the content of each chapter in May's novel. In chapter 3, "War and Peace Fanning the Home Fires" women's roles continued to grow, as their labor was required to build the machinery that would win World War II. While chapters six and seven, "Baby Boom and Birth Control" and "The Commodity Gap" tell of the changing values during the 1950s. This paper also discusses the author's various methodologies to explain the restructuring of the family that followed the depression and WWII.
From the Paper
"In order to reveal the roots of the 1950's family, May discusses intimate relationships in a sociological setting during the Depression years. In Chapter 3, Hard Times at Home, The Depression years, according to May's statistics, this period had both the lowest marriage and birth rate of any other period of time during the Twentieth Century. May submits that the depression of the economy caused many young couples of that time to delay marriage and children because of financial insecurity. She also notes that women's roles at that time were very unlike those touted in the 1950's. She maintains that couples who chose to wed at that time expected a relatively equal marriage with both the husband and wife helping to support the family economically."

Abstract
This paper discusses the book "Homeward Bound: American Families in the Cold War Era" by Elaine Tyler May who used contemporary magazines, journals, and films as some of her research material to present a picture of family life in America during the Cold War and the way it shaped the nation. The author points out that this was the period of reproduce, which created the "baby boom", an entire generation of children who never had to want for anything. The author explains that any kind of sexual deviancy was taboo; in fact, many believed sexual deviation was the road to Communism and distrust.
From the Paper
"One of the important points she uses in the book is how suburbia grew up during this time in our history, and suburbia almost exclusively consisted of a white, middle-class population. Racial lines were drawn during the Cold War, and race was still a very important issue for most Americans. As she notes in her Introduction, "People of color were excluded from these suburban communities, and denied the benefits of American prosperity even if they could afford them" (May xix). May clearly shows how the Civil Rights movement of the 1950s and 60s was created out of the white suburban middle-class of the 1950s. As blacks were excluded from owning property and attending schools in the middle-class suburbs, their unrest grew, and they began to fight back for their equality. The author goes on to state, "So while white working class Americans prospered and joined their middle-class peers as suburban homeowners, African-Americans lost ground economically. They were forced to reside in substandard urban housing, left out of postwar prosperity, and denied the government subsidies available to whites" (May xx). May continues later in the book to build on this premise that blacks were barred from the "good life" in their exclusion from mortgages in the white suburbs. As whites grew more prosperous, blacks continued to live in the inner city and continually were kept from creating their own American dreams."

Political Metaphors in "Prometheus Bound", 2003.
Aeschylus's use of metaphors about politics and tyranny in "Prometheus Bound".
850 words (approx. 3.4 pages), 0 sources, £ 21.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper suggests how Aeschylus, author of "Prometheus Bound", uses metaphors to make a number of suggestions about the ideas of tyranny, freedom, and prophecy.
From the Paper
"A tragedy like Aeschylus? Prometheus Bound is ripe with metaphors that contribute to the significance of the work as one that has stood the test of time. Aristotle wrote in the Politics that man is, by nature, a political animal. If we accept this to be true, it is no surprise that Prometheus Bound continues to be a relevant tragedy in the 21st century as the most significant metaphor in the final scene, and truly, the entire work is the character of Prometheus himself. Prometheus is the representation of one who suffers unjustly under the harsh reign of a tyrant, yet still remains free (from a certain point of view)."

Abstract
This paper discusses the mythology and background to the Prometheus story. It explains that Prometheus, as portrayed by Aeschylus, was not only a God, but a symbol. Prometheus, through his plight to help man, suffered as a supreme artist, visionary and Christ-like symbol. The myth behind the play is exposed and discussed as well as the plot of the actual play.
From the Paper
"Understanding the rich mythological background of Prometheus Bound is vital to understanding the play in its entirety. Prometheus was a titan, a race of gods who reigned before Zeus and the Olympians. Prometheus, whose name means "Fore thinker," was blessed with the gift of prophecy by his mother Themis, the goddess of Earth and ultimate mother of all. He was a clever deity, a master craftsman and creator. He created man and taught them the many crafts that were necessary for survival. However man lacked a crucial gift: fire."

"Prometheus Bound" ( Aeschylus ), "Frankenstein" ( Mary Shelley ) & "Robinson Crusoe" ( Daniel Defoe ), 1999.
Examines works on necessity of limits on human intelligence & power.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
From the Paper
" In three works that contemplate the question of the necessity of limits on human intelligence, the issue revolves around the notion of humanity exceeding its limits and, thereby, offending or challenging the gods. The question asked by Aeschylus in Prometheus Bound, by Mary Shelley in Frankenstein, and by Daniel Defoe in Robinson Crusoe is whether there is some inherent limit on human ability--a point beyond which humanity should not go. Does human technology, the various products of human intelligence, reach a point at which it is beyond the ability of mere mortals to control it? Though the question was phrased in very different ways, all three authors agreed that there was a limit to human intelligence and that such a limit was a necessity. Why it is a necessity was, however, answered quite differently by the three writers."

From the Paper
" The notion of friendship has been with us throughout history. Almost from the time of birth to death people have friends. Friendship is such a natural and common occurrence that people rarely question it or ask what it is. Yet even the most unthinking person has vague notions about friendship. We classify friends into various categories that approach the ideal of friendship. A "true" or a "best" friend is valued more than someone who is "just a friend." Friends play an important role in most people's lives, yet we rarely know what a friend truly is.
One person who wasn't content to live the unexamined life was Aristotle, and one of the many ideas he wrote about was friendship. An examination of Aristotle's discussion of (...)"

"Bound to Lead: The Changing Nature of American Power" by Joseph Nye, 1992.

From the Paper
" America, according to Joseph S. Nye in the introduction
to his book, Bound to Lead: The Changing Nature of American Power, is not in as much trouble as some "doomsayers" suggest. In his world view, "traditional theories about the rise and fall of great powers could lead Americans to pursue the wrong strategies in the new politics of the twenty-first century." (ix). The United States is not declining, he argues, but is merely experiencing a cycle of change, one which will redefine traditional hegemonic thinking. Some economists believe America's problems are the result of the government spending too great a percentage of the gross national product on defense, a situation sometimes described as "Imperial Overstretch." Nye disagrees with this conclusion and argues that America's decline Is the result of a manufacturing economy in transition. This..."

"Honor Bound: A Gay Naval Midshipman Fights To Serve His Country "( Joseph Steffan ), 1994.

From the Paper
" Joseph Steffan, in his Honor Bound: A Gay Naval Midshipman Fights to Serve His Country, presents his argument---for gays' right to serve in the military---in the form of autobiography. This form is far more effective than a traditional argumentative presentation would have been, primarily because of the nature of the issue and the specific position taken by the opponents of gays' right to serve.
The issue of gays in the military is not an issue about public policy which involves merely rational discourse. To the contrary, it is a highly emotional issue in which opponents of gays in the military react from a place of hatred and, especially, fear.
Gays have been demonized by forces opposed to their serving, and those forces are not about to respond to a traditional.."
