Introduction
The Masques of the red death is a literacy work by Edgar Poe that presents a very old theme as old as the medieval play of morality by Everyman. The Tell-Tale Heart is another short story by Edgar Poe about the guilt of murder was published in the 19th century. The narrator in the story is a man who is confessing to killing an old man who is under his care. This paper shall give the plot in both stories and discuss the symbolism and themes in both stories.

The Masque of the Red Death story begins, by describing that a terrible disease called Red Death has struck the country. The disease is incurable and has killed half the population of the kingdom. With all the deaths taking place, the ruler of the kingdom Prince Prospero does not seem to care about the poor people dying. He literally leaves the kingdom to take of itself as he and his subjects shut themselves in the castle away from the disease. Prospero’s is very rich, even in death he still affords to party and dance. The prince welds the doors of his castles, meaning that they are shut. Later after six months, the prince decides to have a masquerade ball, where guests are dressed in masks and costumes. The ball set up is wild just as the prince designed it. The ball is set in a suite of seven rooms with different colors, blue, black, violet, orange, purple, green, and white. The dark room is dark and creepy. The room looks like death, it has dark black walls, blood-red windows, and a big black wall that makes sounds every hour scaring everyone at the party. Most attendees of the party seem very scared to go into the black room. For a few hours, the party goes on and everyone is happily dancing and interacting. The clock strikes midnight and everyone goes quiet as the norm when the clock chimes. A guest no one has seen before arrives and all attention turns to the guest. He is dressed as a corpse that has died from the Red death. The guest is frightening to look at and starts stalking the frightened crowd. The prince notices the guest arrival and behavior. The prince is furious that someone would have the audacity to wear such a frightening costume. He orders the guards to seize the strange guest and unmask him. The guards all frightened do not have the nerve to seize the strange guest. The prince himself looks frightened too.
The guest in the Red death costume passes close to prince and walks towards the black room. The Prince is furious and runs after him full of rage as he drew his dagger ready to strike. As the prince is about to reach him the guest in the red death costume turns around to face him, the Prince falls on the ground and dies. The crowd of guest runs towards the strange guest and discover that there is nothing under the costume. The red death itself had come to the party. The guests one by one fall down and die. All the lights go out and leave darkness, decay of bodies and the red death.
The main symbol is the Masque of the Red Death is that that no one can escape death. The Prince welds the doors of his castle preventing anyone from going out or in. However, death still creeps in kills everyone in the castle despite their wealth and luxurious lives. The black room is also a symbol of death. When the red death arrived, it headed for the dark room (Poe, 1842). The room had black walls and red windows. When light shone through the windows anyone in the room was red, a symbol for the red death disease. Every guest was too afraid to go into the room. The clock in the room frightened everyone as if to warn them that death was drawing close. The ticking of the clock is a symbolism of the ticking away of life, as one grows old. It is also said that after everyone died the clock stopped ticking symbolizing the loss of all lives.
Another symbolism is the seven rooms. The rooms were very different from each other all running from west to east. The rooms are a symbol of the seven deadly sins. The sins of lust, laziness, greed, pride, gluttony, anger and taking what does not belong to you. The Prince was selfish and arrogant. He left the poor subjects to die from the Red Death while he and his subjects locked themselves in the castle and even hold a party. I believe that Prince committed all the seven deadly sins hence his death in the black room.
Prince Prospero is a symbol of wealth and Prosperity. The Prince was very rich and had very many subjects. The death of Prospero symbolized the end of feudalism. His inviting of only the wealth knights and women to his castles at the expense of the poor subjects and commoners dying from the red death signifies the divide between the rich and the poor. There is a socio-economic difference that existed between the landowners and peasants during the feudalistic period. During the time, the Black Death reduced the number of workers leading to the demand of labor and end of feudalism in Europe.
In the Tell-Tale Heart, the narrator explains his relationship with the victim and ascertains that the old man had never done him any wrong but could not stand his filmy blue eyes and his pale. He adds that he was afraid of the eye since it reminded him of the vultures’. The narrator does not try to clean his sanity. His foolishness and desire drove him to killing an innocent old man. Before killing him the narrator is very kind to the victim, and every midnight sneaks into the man’s room and shines a lantern onto his eyes. The eye is close and the narrator feels like getting rid of the eye and not killing the man. During the day, he attends to the old man well to avoid suspicion. One night the narrator visits the old man in his chambers, his lantern falls, and the old man is awake. The old man is too afraid and stays awake for a while. The narrator lightens the lantern and he sees the old man’s blue eye now fully open. The narrator attacks the old man, drags him across the floor, and suffocates him with a mattress. The old man dies. The narrator laughs hysterically as he describes how he cleaned the corpse off the blood (Poe, 1852).
Tell-Tale Heart is a contradictory short story. The story illustrates psychological contradiction that take place in a murderous life. The narrator begins by admitting that he is nervous and at the same time says he is not a lunatic. He is very defensive against being called mad. He says that since he is nervous he is sane. The narrator tells the story in a precise manner by describing all the events that led to the murder and the plea for his sanity. The ways the events are narrated describe the narrator as a lunatic despite his plea for sanity.
The narrator murders an old man and says that he got of his blue eye. To the narrator the eye is different from the old man. He murders him but still says that he loves him. It is the desire to get rid of the eye that motivates the narrator to kill. To him killing the eye cannot end the old man’s life. The story presents another contradiction between the narrators love and hate. Rom the mystery, Poe explains that sometimes people harm those they love and need in their lives. The narrator loves the old man, he not vengeful. He however, reduces the old man to the blue vulture like eyes. To him the eye is evil. The eye is symbolism for the person of the old man and part of his identity and cannot be isolated from it.
Conclusion.
Both the Tell-Tale Heart and The Masque of the Red Death carry the theme of death and life. The red death itself and the black room symbolize death in the Masque of Red Death. The Blue eye (Vulture eye) represents the Tell-Tale Heart on the other hand, death. The vulture uses its eye to spot food or prey. It scavenges until the animal dies for a chance to feed on its carcass. Whenever the narrator saw the old man’s blue eye he felt like he was prey and death was waiting him. The eye threatened and watched him; he says whenever the eye looked at him his blood-felt cold. In addition, the narrator is afraid of the eye because it was as if it looked into his thoughts and violent plans.

The two pieces of art that I am comparing are two forms of Ecce Homo (Behold the Man!), based off of the famous Biblical sene of Pilate and the trial of Jesus Christ. The first painting is made by Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio in the year 1605. Painted during the Broque era, this painting demonstrates the atmosphere of the time of religious revival blended with Michelangelo’s own touch of dark and light colors with no background.
People Also Read
The second painting is of the same scene of the trial from Antonio Ciseri’s perspective. Painted in 1871, this painting shows reminents of the Romantic era, with bright colors and dramatic scenes and our hero in the center of it all (Jesus, not Pilate). The Romantic era focused on emotions and the feelings we see from paintings, and in Ciseri’s version of Ecce Homo, we get a sense of pain for Jesus, the frustration from Pilate as he argues with the crowd below, and the sadness from Pilate’s wife to the right.
In terms of similarities, the two paintings share some common traits. First is the historical aspect, in that they both are representing a scene from the Bible of the trial before Pilate. Secondly, they both use bright colors to ensure that the viewer notices the main figures that Michelangelo and Ciseri both wanted to bring out. The bright colors also help to give way to the fine and elaborate details in the scenes, from the individual thorns and facial expressions on the figures in Michelangelo’s painting, to the robes and garments that cover the figures in Ciseri’s painting. Also, both paintings show signs of realism in that they both look as if someone jumped back in time and shot these scenes with a camera, because of the detail and emotions that run through the viewer of the sorrow and looks on their faces. Finally, both represent times where religion was vibrant and alive, and where the Catholic Church was expanding its borders and reviving the ways of the Bible through historical and biblical texts and stories in paintings and other forms of the art.
These two works have very significant purposes as they give us a glimpse as to how the actual trial of Jesus occured. Though no photgraphy was around to capture the moment, and all we can follow up on are accounts and the Bible, the true minds of these artists come alive in their imagination. Thus, we are given the chance to see how the different eras became integral in their pieces. From the Baroque era, we see how Michelangelo encompassed both the religious revival of the Catholic Church in dramatic fashion with the amount of detail in the faces and bodies. The Baroque also showed a distinction of realism that was not yet realized. The Baroque era “focused on realism in portraits (with an attention to physical details), expansive landscapes, and a focus on the dramatic including the contrast between light and shadow and the use of rich, deep colors (MindEdge, Connections Across Disciplines, 7)”. You can see how the dark colors of Pilate may represent evil and the light colors of Jesus’s body represent the good. Blended with a dark background, this painting shows how the mood must have been during the trial, and how the Bible tells that Jesus stood in silence and accepted his fate without a struggle. Similar too is the painting done by Antonio Ciseri where there are traces of Romanticsm. Going on a more emotional take to the scene, we see Pilate is leaning over the edge in disguise as he argues with the crowd over what should become of Jesus. We also see the incredible amount of detail that is presented, so much so even Ciseri thought to include people on the roofs of the buildings, as well as the crown of thornes on Jesus’s head. It is truly realism in the fact that this painting looks as if it was shot by my camera at that exact moment. The same goes with Michelangelo’s painting, but shot closer to the figures while relying on capturing the exact details of the bodies and facial expressions.
Second discussion
Elisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun was an important portraitist before the French Revolution. She was a friend to Marie Antoinette and painted many portraits of the Queen of France. The work I’ve chosen is a painting called “Marie Antoinette with Her Children”. Le Brun was a female painter in a male dominated world. She was still a teenager when she was accepted into painters’ guild of the Académie de Saint-Luc (www.biography.com). Marie Antoinette was very typically outfitted at all times in the flamboyant Rococo style and this painting represents that style well.

Kathe Kollwitz was another important female artist. Her sculpture “Pieta”, based on her series of etchings called “Woman with her Dead Child”, stands as a memorial to victims of the destructions of war. Kollwitz lost much in her life, but that didn’t stop her from producing anti-war propaganda in World War II (http://www.rogallery.com/Kollwitz/Kollwitz-bio.htm). Her work is very Expressionist in style in that she didn’t focus on reality in the physical sense but on the feelings of the work and the feelings she wanted to inspire in her audience.

This excerpt from my essay is where I started to compare the similarities of the two works/two artists.
The most obvious similarity between the works of art are the depiction of mother and child or children. Both works preceded war, the French Revolution for the painting and WWI and WWII for the drawings the sculpture was based on. The artists are both women who succeeded in the art world though facing adversity. Le Brun left France during the Revolution (www.biography.com) and Kollwitz was forced to leave Berlin during World War II (http://www.rogallery.com/Kollwitz/Kollwitz-bio.htm). The painting depicts an ordinary day of a mother with her children, Queen or not. The statue shows the worst that a mother would have to endure.

Mokgadi Caster Semenya is 800m athlete from South African, a 2016 Olympic gold medalist as well as the 2009 world championship women in the category of women 800m she was born in 1991. Serena Jameka Williams is a professional tennis player from America who is currently ranked at position 2. And has been dominant in the tennis holding position 1 for the first time in 2002, and she maintained the number one ranking for 186 consecutive weeks (Fishman, 2017).According to Peters (2017), Michelle LaVaughn Robinson Obama served as the first lady of the United States, she is also a layer, a university administrator as well as a writer. She is the first black American first lady. Sarah Baartman, on the other hand, is a South African woman who was taken to England in 1815 and was used as an exhibit due to the sizes of her curves. She was from the Khoi community

Serena Williams and her sister Venus have conquered tennis since the nineties when they first appeared. In spite of the dominance in the court, her accomplishment has constantly been overshadowed by the issues of gender and race. Martin (2017), article clearly sees this as the struggle that black women go through when they become successful, as this struggle is similar to that of Semenya whose accomplishment in the field has been overshadowed with the issues of race and gender . Baartman also shares similar predicament as she was taken forcefully from South Africa and taken into England to be used as an exhibit. This was due to the fact that her body was different from that of Scottish or Irish women. This gives a clear indication of how the whites considered the black women as a half human based on their physical appearance in which they considered as freakish. It is important to note that her exhibition brought in much revenue than any other during that time
Due to the fact that Serena William is well built and her race as black women the words that have been used to describe her has a masculinity in it and one could easily question her gender. The words like ‘aggressive’, menacing and threatening have constantly been used on her. In addition to this, words like tranny have always been used to insult Serena as it is a description of a woman who is not a real woman.
The level of the stereotype that black woman face usually override their achievement as the European have a mindset or have standardized beauty in a way that fits them and any deviation by a black woman. The description of Serena from Jason Whitlock as underachiever points out how the achievement of a black woman is downplayed considering Serena is currently ranked 2nd in the world and has been dominating the court since the nineties. Semenya on the other hand after conquering the 800 metres the IAAF had to leak her tests to the world to override her victory and much was said about her gender and race more than her achievement. The fellow athletes like Elisa Cusma referred to Semenya as a Man, this point out at the magnitude of the issue that she faced but it did not deter her from winning, she was determined.
The western world media has put a double standard in measuring or outlining the success of a black woman. Black women have to work hard and be overachievers for them to be considered as successful, the fact that the ability of Serena Williams was seen as not that fulfilling. Michelle Obama was not embraced well as a first lady, she was considered not to be socially appealing this is disturbing as we compare to the wife of President Kennedy whose known achievement was being the wife of a president and nothing else (Martin, 2017).
Both Serena and Semenya will continue to dominate in their respective field. but on the social platform and aspect, they will still remain to have issues courtesy of their race. The stereotype which has been created to body shame them even after proving their worth in their profession is unacceptable. Both Semenya and Serena’s body is symbolic of the way in which stigma act together to create assorted oppressions.
Michelle Obama has also faced the same predicament as questions of her body which according to the public opinion was of a human-ness just by a mere reason of being a black woman. Her position as the first black women in the white house as a first lady did not go well as she was constantly charged with epithets from being called a terrorist, to ape-like while others called her a bitter angry black woman(Peters, 2017). Just like Semenya, Serena and Baartman her achievements in life was overshadowed by her race and gender and this did not bring her down as she became even stronger advocating for equality and defended black women rights. She also owned up to her body
In conclusion, all the articles and personal stories of the 4 black women shows how black women have gone through a lot and even if she achieves something her achievement is usually clouded by her physical appearance. This has taken many centuries during the period of Baartman and to the current years where the stereotype is still there. If only Michelle Obama was white or Semenya or even Baartman was white they would be highly recognized and their achievement could have been speaking acknowledged across the world

The functions of the human resource in the selection of the employees for various placements internationally are expected to meet quite a number of challenges from the mobility’s changing nature all over the world. As a result, it is expected of them to work within systems that are globally coordinated and at the same time expected to recognize and be very sensitive to the local needs of the people. Therefore, from this perspective it can be said that the very first challenge the human resource go through during staffing and recruitment is the inability to get a workforce diverse enough to offer exceptional individual and organizational performance (Mannix & Neale, 2005). Business situations that are continuously changing in the global markets expect the personnel of the human resource to have constant recruitments, deployments and replace the current workers. Secondly, the human resource officers also find it quite challenging in the attempts they have when trying to acquire the very best skills for the particular organization despite the geographical location. It is also stated that, they find it very tough in recruitment of individuals who are capable of effectively functioning despite the different laws of labor, the various stages of technological advancements and various values, attitudes for example time, political climate and individuals who are capable of taking risks in an international context.

The process of recruitment and selection is majorly concerned with choosing, identifying and the attraction of the most suitable person capable of meeting the requirements of the human resource of the organization (Bailey et al., 2018). The two can also be described as the process whereby the given organization contracts, interests and solicits interested appointees with potential then later decide whether it would be ideal to select anyone among them. The major areas of importance of selection and recruitment may include the following; these two are very important to the organization in the achievement of organizational goals. When an organization chooses the right group of individuals, these employees have the capability of producing the very best results and have higher chances of staying in this particular organization and therefore leading to a reduced turn out of employees. In cases where selection of employees is not done carefully, the probability of the employee making mistakes and interfering with the organization’s criteria is very high and may cause financial losses. If not done carefully and keenly, the human resource manager’s time will be wasted for he will be required to redo the process of selection and recruitment in order to get the right employee. From this, it can be said that recruitment and selection when done appropriately, the performance of the organization will be good as hiring the right employee at the right time is very crucial to every organization.
The two recent court cases I will talk about are the following; First and foremost, long-term disability and sickness absence. This was a court case between O’Brien against Bolton St. Catherine’s Academy. This appeal shows the rate at which trends relating to discrimination claims that come from disability have been growing at a very high rate. Ms O’Brien received a dismissal notification from her employer considering she had taken a very long term period of sickness absence. At her appeal hearing, she gave her employer medical evidence that indicated that she had been hospitalized and was now ready to get back to work. Despite her attempts and the evidence, the panel of the appeal was not convinced enough and went ahead and validated the dismissal (O’Dowd, 2016). As much as the case was in the view of the court, it was found not so reasonable for the accused school to ignore new availed evidence without undertaking a medical assessment. It is advised that in different practices, before coming to the dismissal conclusion, employers should put into consideration whether they can or cannot be expected to be patient any longer. If they can be patient, then how long can they be?
The second court case is the enhancement of shared parental pay. This was a court case between Ali versus Capita Customer Management Limited. Since the introduction of shared parental leave in 2015, the problem of whether or not organization employers want to increase shared parental pay after the enhancement of their maternity pay has been considered very controversial. This employment tribunal later brought about more uncertainty. Ali gave a claim regarding the refusal of his employer to increase his payment in a given period of parental leave that was shared to the employment tribunal. He further aired his complaints that, this led to sexual discrimination considering the policy of his employer when it came to increase in maternity pay. His claim was upheld by the employment tribunal stating that, the primary care giver’s role is a choice made by the parents and it is expected to be free of assumptions that are generalized. For example, the assumption that mothers are ever best placed to partake all the primary roles and therefore should be paid fully. Employers in this case are expected to be patient for a decision by an appeal court before there is provision of greater certainty.

Introduction
Science and technology is the threshold for development in modern society. They define today’s innovations which govern our cultures and habits for our routine activities. Science and technology are on a constant verge of advancement, perhaps increasing. Advances in science and technology have revolutionized the world in several ways including improving every occupation that man has designed. Additionally, it has elevated man’s success in unravelling the secrets of the world, which hold to a potential for further development. However, these advancements come at a price. Acknowledging the fact that these advancements bring about more harm is inevitable. Human life has been threatened by advancements in science and technology. Steven Hawking, the Mathematics professor who took the place of Isaac Newton, warned that advances in science and technology are the biggest threat to the human race especially in modern times (Cellan 2). This paper seeks to illustrate how these advances always carry some harm, in an in-depth manner.

The significant benefits of science and technological advances
These advances are important to the survival of mankind, and so it is imperative to understand the scope of the benefits promised by technological advancements; it has led to the improvement of production ways. Production has been shifted from small-scale to large-scale. Transport and communication systems have been developed to allow the convenient interaction of people. The medical industry has also advanced in the diagnosis of health. Most recently, the vaccine for HIV&AIDs was discovered. This is a revolutionary step not only to the health actors but also to the entire human race. Precisely, advances in science and technology have become the guide to success today with a guarantee of more innovations. However, the harm arising from the innovations are equally significant in the modern world.
Manufacture of drugs and the problem of addiction
Modern technology is under constant reformation by the exploration of science, leading to new discoveries in the designing of alcohol and tobacco. There are over 1000 brands of alcohol today. Classified depending on the production technique, there are several types made from the science of alcohol compounds. Brandy, Whisky, Vodka, Beer, Wines etc. While alcohol consumption is under stern age regulation, it is a free choice solely by the individual. Alcohol is a product consumed globally by the youths, adults and old aged. However, the consumption of alcohol has brought about more problems in the world. From its contribution to car accidents to fatality extremes, it poses a clear threat to humanity. Cases of addiction are on the rise, enslaving individuals to the chronic dependence on alcohol. Drugs like tobacco have been refined a number of times but still claiming more lives than each former decade. The World Health Organization demanded that tobacco processing industries pay more taxes annually because the health cases arising from tobacco consumption is on the rise (WHO 2015).
Medical research and biological weapons
Research in the medical sector has led mankind to solve many health problems. Including the ability to treat infections that were untreatable before, the medical sector has demonstrated significant advancement. However, medical research is a risky experience especially in the handling of deadly viruses. The medical actors may be exposed to the viruses they barely know much about. For instance, late last year, a physician who travelled from Congo to the US was exposed to the Ebola virus in Africa. This was a threat to the entire population around the infected. However, the situation was contained with precaution upon discovery. Furthermore, state conflicts led to the establishment of military groups. Biological weapons were devised to be used in war. Diseases such as Smallpox, Ebola, and yellow fever are believed to be designed by man. The US was the leading manufacturer of the Hemorrhagic Fever Viruses (HFVs) but the production of biological weapons was banned after the First World War. However, these health problems are a threat to the human race today. They have the potential to call for national security measures (Evans & Commins).
Machinery accidents
There is an increasing rate of machinery accidents today. While science seeks to discover ways to build reliable machines, technological innovations seem to claim more lives almost daily. Despite the fact that air transport is the fastest, the possibility of surviving a plane crash is almost zero. The Boeing plane crash on the Ethiopian airlines killed 157 people. It happened about 12 hours after another plane in Canada killed 12 people including a mayor. It led to the suspension of all Boeing planes worldwide. Cargo and travel ships too have demonstrated failure and many have capsized in cases of storms or mechanical malfunction. Car accidents claim far more lives daily. The human desire to explore space also proved unworthy when the Challenger disaster happened. The US rocket exploded 73 seconds after takeoff, killing seven highly trained personnel. Besides, it was a major economic meltdown for NASA, which suspended all its space missions (Resag 250). Evidently, science has led to the designation of modern machinery which do not guarantee the protection of human life, instead, increasing death trolls.
Conclusion
Conclusively, advances in science and technology have proved to be disastrous. The human race is on the verge of extinction because of science and technology. As seen, it increases man’s exposure to risk, which in one way or another, point to futile extremes. Humans are curious creatures and that curiosity drives them to explore science and put it to test through technology. Despite the fact that science has shaped the world today, which seems to be more successful than before, it has created more room for disaster and the manifestation of new challenges. The modern society should regulate science and the innovations made, to preserve the promise for the sustenance of humanity.
