... to be seen by his observers but not at the first instance. He place himself in the woods in the darker half of the painting not on the brighter more open side. Cole is by the river which is painted very distinctly in the shape of a question mark. He is situated on a mountain up in the woods in an apparent storm. Cole places himself somewhat behind the mountain and is positioned to look out towards the audience. Also present with Cole are his tools. Cole’s tool be distinctly placed plays a very important role in one’s understanding of why Cole presents himself in his work. T. Cole can also be seen on his portfolio. Cole is seen in this painting as an artist. He ...
... sets up the fact that Clytaemnstra has gained power in Argos during Agamemnon’s absence. It is, therefore, in this first address to Clytaemnestra that it is learned that power is a main component of her character. When Clyteamnestra explains that she is lighting the alters because the war against Troy is over, which she knows because of the torch signals, she say that they are her, “proof, my burning sign…the power my lord passed on from Troy to me!” (Line 318-319) Even though the Chorus did not initially believe her report about the victory at Troy, this does not compromise the respect and fear they feel for their queen. They justify their disbelief the ...
... film. An example of this is the controversial film Natural Born Killers. Over twenty people lost their lives because of this film. In this film murder and violence are justified, and it is these films that affect children the most. Computer violence is a quite new phenomenon. It was introduced with the launch of Wolfenstein in 1990. In «Wolfenstein» you are trapped in a maze among an army of nazis. You'll have to kill your way out. This kind of violence probably has a deeper influence on children, because they do the killings themselves. It is interactive violence. In several countries the follow-up game, Doom, was banned. The software company claimed that it di ...
... actually took many years ago. The fall from grace in Oedipus Rex is when Oedipus, Jocasta, and all the other characters in the story realize that Oedipus actually did murder Laius and that Jocasta is indeed his mother as well as his wife. This occurs rather quickly, very close to the end of the play. The audience sees this coming long before it actually does, however. In one of the passages of Oedipus speaking with Jocasta, just about everything is spelled out for us. Jocasta speaks of Laius leaving the castle with just a few servants and his being killed where three roads meet. Oedipus claims that he killed somebody where three roads met, who had a few ser ...
... whether it is temporary or permanent that is used to describe a person when they don’t know the difference between right and wrong. They don’t consider the nature of their actions due to the mental defect. In William Shakespeare’s play “Hamlet” Shakespeare leads you to believe that the main character, Hamlet, might be insane. There are many clues to suggest Hamlet is insane but in fact he is completely sane. Throughout the play Hamlet makes wise decisions to prove his so-called “madness” to others when obviously it is merely an act. He knows exactly what he is leading up to. He just delays to act due to his indecisiveness or inaction. An example o ...
... on. In the book, there was many surprises that shocked me. One of those surprises was that Napoleon wanted Snowball ousted. Though Napoleon did not like Snowball, the wasn't really any evidence that he would try to kill Snowball. In the movie, Napoleon, had a bad image already. He had a mean look and shoved his way in front when Old Major gave his speech. There was also gloomy music when they had scenes of him. When the book showed of Napoleon as a bad guy, I was surprised but I expected it in the movie because the movie showed him as a bad person from the beginning. Another detail that the movie missed was when all the animals could talk. In the movie not all t ...
... been torn apart. Or perhaps if loyalty to all and everything had been involved a great ruler named Caesar would have reigned for years. If the people of Rome would have remained loyal to Caesar perhaps a war would not have occurred, in fact, it most certainly would not have. After the death, the angry mob should have put the conspirators to death, not let them toy with their minds as they would a five year old. The mob, like a great many people, believe what is easiest to hear. In the mob of people did loyalty exist? Doubtful, little if any. What coexisted in the crowd with that little loyalty was ignorance, and much of it. I believe that Brutus showed ...
... difficult to distinguish. Some of Lysistrata's liberal aspects are ideas such as feminine politics, justice, recognition, and determination. For example, Lysistrata is a woman who is always determined to get her way. She feels that victory is not just important in the definition of winning an outcome, but that victory should be the primary priority. Her determination to win her battle against the Greek men will not be judged or questioned. this liberal trait is an outstanding aspect concerning women because she ceases to be denied. Lysistrata: Enough of these shams, you wretched creatures. You want your husbands, I suppose. Well, don't you think t ...

... Mary Warren not to say anything. “Let either of you breathe a word, or the edge of a word, about the other things, and I will come to you in the black of some terrible night and I will bring a pointy reckoning that will shudder you... And you know I can do it... I can make you wish you had never seen the sun go down.” She fell in love with John Proctor after their affair, her morals and her whole life began to fall apart.
