A Study of Human Complexity
What makes us human? This is a question that has fascinated philosophers, poets, and artists for centuries. One of the most brilliant and insightful answers to this question can be found in William Shakespeare’s “Hamlet”, a masterpiece of literature that transcends time and culture. In this tragedy, we follow the journey of Hamlet, a prince who faces a series of challenges that test his character, morality, and sanity. Through various literary devices such as metaphors, similes, irony, sarcasm, characterization, soliloquies, and moments of madness and humor, Shakespeare reveals the complexity of human nature in all its glory and misery.

Cinderella: Her Own Fairytale
The lessons we were taught seemed to be proven wrong when we infused our minds by watching Rapunzel escape the tower with the hero and Prince's quest to find Cinderella. When a prince broke the death curse of Sleeping Beauty, all those messages didn't seem to hold true. We were brought up watching these TV shows that polluted our minds with the idea that a Prince Charming would come to our rescue. But we forgot that nobody can truly rescue us from that deep hole; only we have the power to navigate the darkness, seek the light, and illuminate our lives. I feel concerned for all those young minds who fantasize about these heroes and fall into the trap of wrong people, who can give you butterflies but can't provide a roof. These toxic ideals have tarnished the reputation of goodness and heroism. Young girls who believe there's a prince waiting for them are utterly mistaken. The prince they think is waiting for them is out there pursuing his own interests. So, girls, it's time to move past the unrealistic heroism we've craved from men because no man is truly capable of being your hero. In fact, men often lack qualities, depending on women for their every need. What do real heroes do? They save the girl from bad situations and then make her a slave for the rest of her life by creating a home that she can't truly call 'ours.' You might consider me a feminist, but I believe there's no such thing as heroes and princes. We have ordinary boys with their below-average needs and demands, which women are obliged to fulfill under the threat of traditional roles or misuse in the name of love.
