How did Asoka's character and beliefs change over the course of his reign?
Ashoka was anointed the new emperor or ruler of the Mauryan Empire in 274 BCE. His grandfather, Chandragupta, had set out to conquer the weaker surrounding kingdoms to expand the territory of his people in 324 BCE, and was the first to rule over a unified India. Ashoka's father, Bindusara, established a reign much the same as his father's, controlling a larger kingdom than ever before known. When Bindusara became gravely ill, Ashoka succeeded him, although one hundred of his other brothers were mysteriously murdered. Many historians believe Ashoka had his own brothers eliminated so that he could succeed his father.A Sudden Change of HeartAshoka's reign as emperor began with a series of wars and bloodshed, culminating in the Kalinga War of 260 BC. The mammoth loss of life and suffering witnessed on the battlefield made him turn away from war. He subsequently became deeply influenced by Buddhism, and adopted the dharma, which consists of basic virtuous teachings that can be practiced by all men regardless of social origins. "Dharma" is derived from the Sanskrit word for "duty".
What is climax of the story riders to the sea?
The climax of any play or piece of literature is the moment of highest dramatic tension. However, this is commonly misunderstood to be the biggest visual event. Synge proves this is not always the case. In fact, the climax of any story is the moment when the major conflict is resolved. In the case of "Riders to the Sea" by John Millington Synge, the major conflict is Maurya and the sea. It is a "Man vs. Nature" story. Therefore, the climax of "Riders to the Sea" is the moment when Maurya makes peace with the sea by finding peace within herself. She accepts the sea's power, defers to the greatness of the sea, and signifies this resolution by raising her head. She then begins her monologue which verbally completes her acceptance of their fate. "They're all gone now and there isn't anything more the sea can do to me..." The rising action of the climax (the visual appearance of Bartley's body) is often argued to be the actual climactic moment, but the major conflict is not between Maurya and Bartley or Bartley and the sea. It is between Maurya and the sea. Thus, the resolution of the major conflict must focus strictly on Maurya and the sea. The appearance of Bartley's lifeless body on stage is merely the catalyst that begins Maurya's reversal of fortune and recognition, in the Aristotelian sense.
