Morality Play, Barry Unsworth
A portentous opening sentence-``It was a death that began it all and another death that led us on''-sets the tone for Booker Prize winner Unsworth's (Sacred Hunger) gripping story. Indeed, a larger spectre than those two deaths hangs over this tale set in 14th-century England. The Black Plague is abroad in the land, and here it also symbolizes the corruption of the Church and of the nobility. One bleak December day, young Nicholas Barber, a fugitive priest who has impulsively decamped from Lincoln...

This is a book about many things. It is about the ways in which a society 'constructs' a social and political crisis and the roles that individuals and institutions play (or try to play) in this construction. It is about Italy in the turbulent year of 1978, and it is about terrorism. The point is to reveal the multidimensionality of events and to make us conscious of the assumptions about reality that the representation of these events contain.

A six page analysis of the way Sophocles' sense of the individual's self-determination grows through his Theban trilogy -- 'Oedipus the King,' 'Oedipus at Colonus,' and 'Antigone.' The paper asserts that by the final play, the outcomes of one's actions have become inevitable because the individual has chosen them, rather than being the result of the machinations of some god. No additional sources.
