Whether one isolated standard remains in the hands of the enemy or not does not determine the fate of the country, yet the soldier allows himself to be killed to regain it. He loses sight of the fact that the flag is only a sign, and that it has no value in itself, but only brings to mind the reality that it represents; it is treated as if it were the reality itself. A related and new practice, in which the notions of nationhood and citizenship are sanctified, is the `Citizenship Ceremony' in Britain. Under the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002, all new British Citizens are required to attend. The central elements of this ceremony are the 13 Pledge of Loyalty to the United Kingdom' and the `Oath of Allegiance'. The latter reads as follows: I (name) swear by Almighty God that on becoming a British citizen, I will be faithful and bear
ekspluatatsiooni pind. See on pühitsemata, desanctified. Orienteerub ruumis ainult inimtekkeliste objektide järgi. Ruumimassiiiv on ükskõikne. "Space as a container, surface and volume..." Mahuti konteiner, pind, iseeneses eksisteerivat substantsi, inimtegevusest väljaspool ja selle vastu ükskõikne. Aeg lineaarne, pole seotud ruumiga. Arhitektuursed vormid on üksteisega distsiplinaarses (Foucault?) ruumis sarnased. Müütiline ruum (kapitalismieelne): Pühitsetud ruum, sanctified, seotud rituaalidega. Seal ei nähta ainult inimtekkelisi objekte, loodusteaduslikust vaatepunktist koosneb see inimvälisest, mittegeograafilisest. Väga erineva tihedusega. Veesooned, mis on müütiliste vikerkaarevärvi usside pinnaletulekuga seoses tekkinud. Kui põud on, siis käiakse mõõda seda ussirada. Maastikuvormid ise osutavad müütilistele sündmustele, inimtegevusega seotud ainult nii palju, et inimesed püüavad
You must not take for fire. From this time Be somewhat scanter of your maiden presence; Set your entreatments at a higher rate Than a command to parley. For Lord Hamlet, 31 Believe so much in him, that he is young And with a larger tether may he walk Than may be given you: in few, Ophelia, Do not believe his vows; for they are brokers, Not of that dye which their investments show, But mere implorators of unholy suits, Breathing like sanctified and pious bawds, The better to beguile. This is for all: I would not, in plain terms, from this time forth, Have you so slander any moment leisure, As to give words or talk with the Lord Hamlet. Look to't, I charge you: come your ways. OPHELIA I shall obey, my lord. Exeunt 32 SCENE IV. The platform. Enter HAMLET, HORATIO, and MARCELLUS HAMLET The air bites shrewdly; it is very cold. HORATIO It is a nipping and an eager air
ary to sacrifice — the true mark of a Hero. Sacrifice is the Hero's willingness to give up something of value, perhaps even her own life, on behalf of an ideal or a group. Sacrifice means "making holy." In ancient times people made sacrifices, even of hu man beings, to acknowledge their debt to the spirit world, the gods, or nature, to appease those mighty forces, and to make holy the processes of daily life. Even death became sanctified, a holy act. DEALING W I T H DEATH At the heart of every story is a confrontation with death. If the Hero doesn't face actual death, then there is the threat of death or symbolic death in the form of a high-stakes game, love affair, or adventure in which the Hero may succeed (live) or fail (die). Heroes show us how to deal with death. T h e y may survive it, proving that death is not so tough. T h e y may die (perhaps only symbolically) and be reborn,
