The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde
A painter, Basil Hallward, paints a most exquisite portrait of his muse, the handsome young man named Dorian Gray. During the last session of painting, Dorian, who has until this point been completely innocent both of his beauty and of the world, meets Basil’s friend Lord Henry Wotton, who opens his eyes to the ephemeral nature of his own beauty and tells him that he should experience life to the fullest. Upon the completion of the portrait, Dorian wishes out loud that the painting would grow old, and not he. Due to Harry’s influence, Dorian goes out looking for passion and falls in love with a young actress of considerable talent, Sibyl Vane. When she falls in love with him, however, she realizes the falseness of her stage life and performs very poorly in front of Basil and Harry when they come to meet her; Dorian is thoroughly disappointed, loses all respect and love for her, and breaks the engagement. He goes home to find that the painting has become slightly more cruel-looking, and the next morning, just after resolving to go back and marry her regardless, finds out that Sibyl has killed herself. The painting fills him with fear and he has it locked up in an old schoolroom in his house.

KİTABIN ÖZETİ
II. Ramses, babası I. Seti’nin ölümünden sonra M.Ö. 1279 yılında tahta çıkmıştır. Ancak genç yaşı ve deli dolu haraketleri ile tepkiler almıştır. Bu işi yapabilecek, yani Mısır’ı yönetecek bir firavun olarak görülmemiştir. Ayrıca kendisinin firavun olması gerektiğini düşünen ağabeyi Şenar’ın da büyük düşmanlığına maruz kalmıştır. Bunlara rağmen Ramses, büyük başarılara imza atmış, çeşitli yerlere tapınaklar yaptırmış, ve Memfis’te bulunan ülke merkezini Pi-Ramses’e taşımıştır. Böylece çevre ülkelerin oluşturdukları tehlikelere karşı yapılan savunma savaşlarını da daha hakim bir yerden yönetmeyi amaçlamıştır.

Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare
For many years, an on-going feud between two families has caused much disruption in the city of Verona, Italy. The Capulets and the Montagues cannot seem to get along, and there have been many deaths among the two families because of it. Prince Escalus of Verona warns the two families that if the feud does not stop, the punishment will be death.
The stage opens with servants of the Capulet and Montague families. They get into a minor argument. Romeo, a Montague, enters the stage. He has recently been denied the love of Rosaline. He is miserable over this. His friend and cousin, Benvolio, enters and decides that they will go to the Capulet feast, in disguises, so he can prove to Romeo that other pretty women exist. They all exit. At the feast, Romeo meets Juliet, the daughter of Capulet. Instantly, they fall in love. After the feast, Romeo sneaks into the Capulet orchard and visits Juliet. Here, they proclaim their love for each other. They decide to marry the next afternoon and they exit the stage. Romeo and his friend and confidant, Friar Laurence, enter. Romeo seeks the help of Friar Laurence, who agrees to marry Romeo and Juliet, in hopes that the marriage will end the feud between the two families. They exit.
