It depends whether you're looking for something specific like character based themes and which subject this question is for... English?

I'm actually working on a comparative essay about Houseboy and The Metamorphosis right now... so the basic themes are exploitation, oppression, changes in the protagonist (e.g. a change in perspective of the European community through revelations. Or the nature of change, the causes and consequent repercussions), changes in the secondary characters (especially Madame) and finally something about women and their subtle hold of power. Despite being the inferior gender, Madame possess the power (and the looks!) to manipulate men into doing her will or turning a blind eye.

Hope this helped! :)

What can you considered a major cause of world war 1?

The assasination of Austrian Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo by the Serbs.


What was NOT a major cause of worldwarI?

The major cause the first world war the Assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria and his wife by Gavrilo Princip Other reasons are secondary.


Who is more important Franz Ferdinand's death or World War 1?

The two go hand in hand, the assassination was the short term cause of the war. When you look at the war as a whole there were numerous long term causes such as the militarism, building alliances and imperialism of the major European powers of the time. So the was waiting to happen and the assassination of Franz Ferdinand was just the spark that ignited the fire, the war probably would have happened without the assassination but the assassination would not be as well known had it not started the war.


Why did the countries got involved in the world war 1?

The countries got involved in World War 1 due to a combination of factors, including territorial disputes, alliances, militarism, and a desire for power and dominance. The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary by a Serbian nationalist was the immediate trigger for the war, but underlying tensions and rivalries among the major powers had been building for years. Ultimately, the complex web of alliances, nationalist ambitions, and a desire to protect their own interests drew countries into the conflict.


Is it true that one of the immediate causes of the start of World War 1 was the assassination of the Russia czar?

No. The simplest answer is that the immediate cause was the assassination of Franz Ferdinand, the archduke of Austria-Hungary. His death at the hands of Gavrilo Princip - a Serbian nationalist with ties to the secretive military group known as the Black Hand - propelled the major European military powers towards war.
