16.	3719 The Alternate Consciousness as Freedom and Critique.

17.	3855 A Question of Power: Law, Cruelty, and Mercy in Niccolo Machiavelli's "The Prince" and William Shakespeare's "Measure for Measure".
	This paper will compare and contrast Machiavelli's "The Prince" and Shakespeare's "Measure for Measure" in terms of their representation of the law, cruelty and mercy. As will be seen, Machiavelli's diabolical reputation notwithstanding, these works illustrate how both men thought along very similar lines. It will be argued that the point at which these elements - law, cruelty and mercy - converge in both men's works is power. Political power is the overriding theme of "The Prince" and the most prominent subtext of Shakespeare's "problem play". Through a discussion first of "The Prince" and then of "Measure for Measure", it will be shown how law, cruelty and mercy are - through the analogous figures of Duke Cesare Borgia and Duke Vincentio - represented as tools of political power and governance in both men's works. 9 pgs. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

18.	3896 "Fahrenheit 451" and "The Martian Chronicles": Dominance and the Colonization of the Mind.
	This paper compares two novels by Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451 and The Martian Chronicles as examples of a future where colonization is what destroys the very future that is desired. This is alluded to as the result of a colonized mind, a mind that cannot imagine a different way of perceiving reality, or realities that exist outside of human construction. In both books, Bradbury relies on literature as the dominant metaphor for what ignites the imagination, and what is ultimately destroyed to preserve what already exists. It is this contradiction of desire and repression that predicts of future of greater violence and destruction than the one that exists today. 6 pgs. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
