    The Patrician Tribune
    Publius Clodius Pulcher was a prominent political figure during the last years of the Roman Republic. Born into an illustrious patrician family, his early career was sullied by military failures and especially by the scandal that resulted from his allegedly disguising himself as a woman in order to sneak into a forbidden religious ceremony in the hope of seducing Caesar's wife. Clodius survived this disgrace, however, and emerged as a major political force. He renounced his patrician status and was elected tribune of the people. As tribune, he pursued an ambitious legislative agenda, winning the loyalties of the common people of Rome to such a degree that he was soon able to summon forceful, even violent, demonstrations on his own behalf. The first modern, comprehensive biography of Clodius, The Patrician Tribune traces his career from its earliest stages until its end in 52 B.C., when he was murdered by a political rival. Jeffrey Tatum explores Clodius's political successes, as well as the limitations of his popular strategies, within the broader context of Roman political practices. In the process, Tatum illuminates the relationship between the political contests of Rome's elite and the daily struggles of Rome's urban poor.

    The symbolism of the heart diseases and Louise's strive for identity in a man-dominated world. The "Story of an Hour" by Kate Chopin (eBook, PDF)
    Seminar paper from the year 2021 in the subject American Studies - Literature, grade: 2,3, University of Tubingen, language: English, abstract: The topic of the feminine desire for identity in a male dominated environment is represented in Kate Chopin's "The Story of an Hour," that employs the symbol of the heart disease, which illustrates the independence and opportunities, that await her after an unfulfilled marriage. The narrator of the short tale "The Story of an Hour" describes Louise Mallard, a woman whose husband, Brently Mallard, was allegedly killed in a train accident in the 1890s. The short story depicts the force of extreme male dominance over women in marriage, which was widespread at the time, leaving women yearning for any release from oppression. Mrs. Mallard is secretly pleased for the new opportunity to discover her own identity and cherishes her newfound freedom much more than she loves her husband, as it can be seen from her behaviour. Mrs. Mallard understands she should be grieving her husband's death and fearing what the future holds, but she cannot help but be overjoyed with the amount of freedom she has now.
