The Justification Of Jehan Petit: A Fifteenth-Century Attempt To Justify Tyrannicide, John C. Parsons
The Justification Of Jehan Petit: A Fifteenth-Century Attempt To Justify Tyrannicide, John C. Parsons
Masters Theses
The Justification of Jehan Petit was composed as an attempt to explain the murder in 1407 of Louis, duke of Orleans, by his cousin John the Fearless, duke of Burgundy. The murder was politically necessary for John to be able to dominate the French government while the king, Charles VI, was mad.
Petit attempted to prove that the duke of Orleans had been a tyrant, and that the murder was justifiable as tyrannicide. The validity of Petit’s theory demanded that he be able to prove Louis' tyranny. In so doing, he departed radically from the medieval concept of a tyrant …

A Comparison Of The Heroines In Three Representative Novels Of Concha Espina, Barbara Harris Dennis
Masters Theses
It has been the intent of this study to present a closely referenced comparison of the heroines of three representative novels by Concha Espina.
Through the use of developmental analyses and plot summaries of La esfinge maragata, El metal de los muertos and El Caliz rojo it has been possible to obtain a valid assessment of the similarities and contrasts found in the respective protagonists. In spite of the obvious differences in environmental, social and circumstantial elements, the three women evidence essentially the same basic personality traits, attitudes and reactions.
The personal tragedy in the lives of the three women …
The Essential Unity Of Whitman's Leaves Of Grass, 1855: The Personality Projected, Jan Bryan Lawson
The Essential Unity Of Whitman's Leaves Of Grass, 1855: The Personality Projected, Jan Bryan Lawson
Masters Theses
The thesis of this paper is that the essential unity of Whitman's Leaves of Grass, 1855 derives from the personality projected.
Up to the present, critics have failed to agree on any single principle of unity in the first poem of Leaves of Grass, 1855, or in the book as a whole. Yet Whitman himself indicated on various occasions over a long span of years that the projection of a personality was his intent. Further, he indicated that this personality could then be utilized for various purposes, most notably he could exploit it to "promulge" his philosophy.
