Atwood's novella comments on the original text, wherein Odysseus' successful return to Ithaca symbolises the restoration of a patriarchal system. Similarly, Madeline Miller's Circe (2018) revisits the relationship between Odysseus and Circe on Aeaea. As a reader, Miller was frustrated by Circe's lack of motivation in the original poem, and sought to explain her capriciousness. The novel recontextualises the sorceress' transformations of sailors into pigs from an act of malice into one of self-defence, given that she has no superhuman strength with which to repel attackers.

There has been much debate about the advantages and disadvantages of the jury system, the competence or lack thereof of jurors as fact-finders, and the uniformity or capriciousness of the justice they administer. The jury has been described by one author as "an exciting and gallant experiment in the conduct of serious human affairs". Because they are fact-finders, juries are sometimes expected to perform a role similar to a lie detector, especially when presented with testimony from witnesses. A civil jury is typically made up of 6 to 12 persons.

16 Denis Zherdev commented that the Mistress of the Copper Mountain's female domain is the world of chaos. Although the characters are so familiar with her that the appearance of the Mistress is regarded as almost natural and even expected, the female domain collides with the ordered factory world, and brings in randomness, variability, unpredictability and capriciousness. Direct contact with the female power is a violation of the world order and therefore brings destruction or chaos. He also pointed out that the most important value in most Bazhov's early stories is family.

Xu Bing plays incessantly with the role, purpose, and reality of language. Early in his life his father would make him write a page of characters a day, encouraging him to not only copy their form to perfection, but also to capture their spirit, their essence. During Mao's cultural reformations and the reorganization of the standard Chinese language, Xu Bing experienced the constant reformation of words. This constant linguistic change influenced his art: Xu Bing emphasizes the immortality of the essence of language while vividly illustrating the impermanence and capriciousness of words themselves.

The unmoved movers inspiring the planetary spheres are no different in kind from the prime mover, they merely suffer a dependency of relation to the prime mover. Correspondingly, the motions of the planets are subordinate to the motion inspired by the prime mover in the sphere of fixed stars. Aristotle's natural theology admitted no creation or capriciousness from the immortal pantheon, but maintained a defense against dangerous charges of impiety. Plotinus, a third-century Platonist, taught that the One transcendent absolute caused the universe to exist simply as a consequence of its existence (creatio ex deo).

The system of law, its mechanisms of enforcement and the forms of punishment used in the 18th century were primitive and inconsistent . Judges were not professionally trained so many of their decisions were unsatisfactory being the product of incompetence, capriciousness, corruption, and political manipulation.

A need for legal rationality and fairness was identified and found an audience among the emerging middle-classes whose economic interests lay in providing better systems for supporting national and international trade.

Her husband had worked for New York printer William Bradford, advancing from an indentured servant, to a journeyman, and eventually becoming Bradford's partner in 1725.

That year William Cosby became the colony's new governor, and, in responsive to his perceived capriciousness, an opposition party was formed and Zenger was hired to publish their tracts and pamphlets.

Denis Zherdev commented that the Mistress's female domain is the world of chaos, destruction and spontaneous uncontrolled acts of creation (human craftsmen are needed for the controlled creation). Although the characters are so familiar with the female world that the appearance of the Mistress is regarded as almost natural and even expected, the female domain collides with the ordered factory world, and brings in randomness, variability, unpredictability and capriciousness. Direct contact with the female power is a violation of the world order and therefore brings destruction or chaos. One of the themes is how to become a true artist and the subsequent self-fulfillment.

Hoo-ye is seemingly bound to him by a contract that concerns handing Soah over to the Emperor, though Habaek, as her husband, prevents him from taking Soah. He is eventually revealed to be the father of Hoo-ye and Nakbin and had previously been close to Habaek's mother before she married Dong Wang Kong. He schemes to obtain Habaek for the sake of winning a war against Shin Nong, a god who favours humans, while the Emperor despises them. :Despite his cruel capriciousness, the Emperor's bitterness towards others appears to stem from how he would inevitably become distanced from others he cared about.

He was supported in this effort by his chancellor, Archbishop John Morton, whose "Morton's Fork" was a catch-22 method of ensuring that nobles paid increased taxes: those nobles who spent little must have saved much, and thus could afford the increased taxes; in contrast, those nobles who spent much obviously had the means to pay the increased taxes.S. B. Chrimes, Henry VII, p. 203. Royal government was also reformed with the introduction of the King's Council, which kept the nobility in check. The capriciousness and lack of due process that indebted many would tarnish his legacy and were soon ended upon Henry VII's death, after a commission revealed widespread abuses.

The film received mostly negative reviews upon its release. It received a 45% approval rating at Rotten Tomatoes based on 11 reviews (five positive, six negative). Janet Maslin of the New York Times criticized the film's silly story, poor acting and grotesque scenes, calling the film a confused David Lynch wanna-be that "concentrates only on stomach-turning trivia and on the kind of exaggeratedly stupid behavior that amounts to directorial condescension" and "the film's efforts to say something about success and its capriciousness never succeed in rising above an elbow- in-the-ribs obviousness."Movie Review - The Dark Backward: A Garbage Man With Aspirations New York Times Review: The Dark Backward Scott Weinberg of eFilmCritic.

The study is based on over 2,000 murder cases that occurred in Georgia during the 1970s, and involves data relating to the victim's race, the defendant's race, and the various combinations of such persons' races. The study indicates that black defendants who killed white victims have the greatest likelihood of receiving the death penalty. Rejecting petitioner's constitutional claims, the court denied his petition insofar as it was based on the Baldus study, and the Court of Appeals affirmed the District Court's decision on this issue. It assumed the validity of the Baldus study, but found the statistics insufficient to demonstrate unconstitutional discrimination in the Fourteenth Amendment context or to show irrationality, arbitrariness, and capriciousness under Eighth Amendment analysis.

A petty tyrant, regular outbursts of intense rage, with the "salient feature" of his policy being to reverse his mother's policy where he could. Atkin sums up Paul's problem in that he "had an unhappy talent for making even his wisest moves appear ill-considered". Ragsdale suggests that Paul's problem with the army was that he overly focussed on superficial details rather than broad reorganisations, which contemporaries called the "Gatchina spirit": "parades and manoeuvres, uniforms and equipment, awards and punishments, in short with the minutiae of army life, and a corresponding neglect of weightier matters likely to prove decisive in war: morale, professional training [and] technical progress". Paul's changes were nether revolutionary nor swiftly imposed, argues Waliszewski, but his policies have been summarised as "instability and capriciousness".

" Andrew Darlington characterizes Carter as a "curious writer," a "fan" who "arguably never evolved far beyond that status" and calls the Gondwane books "of variable quality" though "all relatively short and effortlessly readable." Still, in contrast to Price, he finds the series "different, by degrees" from the mass of Carter's works aping the styles or settings of earlier authors, while noting that The Warrior of World’s End "still colonises worlds conjured into being by other writers," Darlington feels the "Gondwane mythos might just be his most original creation." He praises the "wonderfully idiosyncratic adventures" and "thread of playful humour" in Carter's novel, "one entirely in character with the whimsical and fin de siècle capriciousness of the age he’s conjectured." He concludes by rating the book as "among [Carter's] very best.

"Элегия" [Elegiya] (Elegy) has a driving bass riff, soaring guitar passages and an intense chorus relieved by a humorous acoustic guitar chorus. "Тазепам" (Tazepam) sounds like a less-successful attempt at the same thing until a locomotive-esque synth interlude recreates the song as a sort of psychedelic cartoon music. Several of the songs were re-recorded by the band on their later albums, with only "Лысая девочка" [Lysaya devochka] (The Bald Girl) gaining something in the process. The humorous nature of the band's music is here underscored by "interludes" between the songs that consist of repeated synth music and recited poetry about people falling off buildings and dogs getting "stuck" on each other in the yard. The band's next album, Капризы манекенщиц [Kaprizy manekenschits] (The Capriciousness of Supermodels) was recorded in 1991 and released on vinyl in 1992.

His most recent residency was in October 2017 in Vigoulet-Auzil, France where he presented his work at the end of his stay in a concert-lecture format. He returns to VCCA in January 2018 and to Brazil for another tour of universities in May and June. Of his Bridge release, the American Record Guide has written, “there’s a wealth of compositional ingenuity and detail, but better yet there’s what I might call attention to the human aspect of music—a concern with drama, passion, and psychological complexity alongside any purely technical achievement. That’s what makes me keep listening to it,” to which Fanfare Magazine added, “his is music that embraces paradoxes—large-scale structural clarity with irregular rhythms and harmonic ephemerality, for instance—formed by a musical vision that seems to value both capriciousness and balance.

In his senior year at university Huang has already won the first prize of the National Art Exhibition (全國美展) and a permanent exemption from prior screening for watercolor works. After graduation he has won the Medal of Chinese Literature and Arts (中國文藝獎章) from the 38th Chinese Writer's & Artist's Association 中國文藝協會 and the Golden Goblet Award from the Chinese Art Society for his work in watercolor. In recent years Huang has been inspired by the fluid and transforming nature of globalization to use the oriental philosophy familiar to him as his creative source. His paintings demonstrate a unique style rich in oriental charms. The ethereality, elegance, whimsicality, and capriciousness demonstrated in his solo exhibitions “Oriental Lyricism,” “Summit Images of Taiwan,” and “Eastern Wind” embody the sentiments of the Orient.

So This Is Goodbye was released to positive reviews from music critics, holding a score of 79 out of 100 on the review aggregator website Metacritic, indicating "generally favorable reviews". Noel Murray of The A.V. Club wrote that Junior Boys "hold to a style that's danceable but purposefully dry", adding that their "emphasis on the aloof and mechanical doesn't diminish their feeling for how humans relate to technology". Mark Pytlik of Pitchfork hailed it as "among the best records you'll hear all year", writing that in spite of Junior Boys' departure from the "rhythmic capriciousness" of their debut Last Exit in favor of more "comparatively streamlined song structures", the album "draws out so many of the same sensations and colors that it feels like a natural next step". Andy Kellman of AllMusic noted the prominence of "slowly unfurling material that projects a cool sense of comfort", as well as a "semi-subliminal undercurrent of self-deprecation that carries through most of the album" in its lyrics.

In 1542, The position Viceroy of Peru and the Royal Audience of Lima were created, and the next year Viceroy Blasco Núñez Vela and the new judges of the Royal Audience arrived at Peru. The said viceroy arrived with the strong intention of enforcing the recently enacted New Laws that abolished the encomienda prohibited the personal labor of the indigenous people. The encomenderos (the masters) protested and organized a rebellion, choosing Gonzalo Pizarro as leader, who was then a wealthy encomendero in Charcas (present-day Bolivia) Gonzalo went to Cuzco, where he was magnificently received and proclaimed Attorney General of Peru to protest the New Laws before the Viceroy and, if necessary, before the Emperor Charles V himself (1544). In Lima, the viceroy Núñez Vela was hated for his capriciousness, even to the extreme of killing a prominent resident of the city, an administrator by the name of Illán Suárez de Carbajal, with his own hands.

This was an arbitrary and capriciousness act: Santo da Serra was a subsidiary of the parish of Machico (created in 1813), but the clergy did not reside in the parish, the annexation of Água de Pena to Santo da Serra, allowed the vicar to have residency in the appropriate parish. This did not last long, per law established on 24 June 1848, the old parish was re-established, but losing the locality of Achada do Barro (which became part of Santo da Serra) and gaining Torre and Ventrecha (which belonged to the parish of Santa Cruz). In the past, its ocean-front position was served by a small port, with a rock/pebble beach (Calhau do Seixo), situated near the mouth of the ravine of the same name (Ribeira do Seixo). In 1995, owing to the lengthening of the airport in Santa Catarina, the Calhau do Seixo was destroyed in order to construct a dyke to allow the construction of massive support pillars for the remodelled Madeira Airport.
