... Lear's fault in giving away all of his land. Si ughters are the humans in the play, it is the humans who caused the evil and Lear believes that humans were the ones who created evil. Edgar, is another character in the play who believes that evil is caused by humans and not the gods. Edgar said, "The gods are just, and of our peasant vices make instruments to plague us" (ACT V, iii, 169). Edgar clearly says that the gods are right and it is the people who are responsible for promoting evil in the world. It is us who make the instruments necessary for evil to spread and plague the world. In the world of King Lear many characters believe evil was caused by the ...
... implications of such an event as well as the faith that one has to have afterwards. It is ironic that Arroway falls back on faith to believe her journey took place upon her return after having shunned faith that others had in God before. The movie did not deal with the Cold War politics that Sagan's book dealt with mainly because of the release date of this movie. The movie was made well after the end of the Cold War and the efforts to build a space pod for space travel is depicted as being an international effort. The feasibility of the events in Contact is not too far from reality. The movie makes the assumption that the alien civilization that con ...

... in the fridge, Jessie asks for some black plastic bags. It's on their schedule that Jessie will give Mama a manicure. Then Jessie asks: JESSIE: Where's Daddy's gun?

It's not until half a column later that Mama asks: MAMA: What do you want the gun for, Jess? JESSIE: Protection. Mama at first considers that she and Jessie have nothing to steal, and what was valuable was stolen by Jessie's son, Ricky. MAMA: I mean, I don't even want what we got, Jessie. Jessie begins cleaning the gun, and soon the st ...
... witches also proclaimed that Banquo would be the "root and father of many kings." In the line, "May they not be my oracles as well and set me up in hope?", Banquo is saying that he wants the prophesies to come true for him also and make him the king and the beginning of a long line of kings. The main idea of his soliloquy is that Banquo knows that Macbeth killed Duncan. Strangely enough, this soliloquy is placed two scenes before he died, not giving him enough time to tell anyone else about his discovery. Banquo has realized that Macbeth murdered Duncan but will die in two scenes anyway. In Banquo's soliloquy in the beginning of the third act of Macbeth, Banquo s ...
... these hidden talents and see that these heretics were perhaps geniuses in disguise. Devince arguably the most talented painter ever wrote backwards so that people wouldn't know what he was writing. He would rather have been seen as incompetent than to let people really know what he was thinking. If people had known what he was really writing he would have been branded a heretic and exiled from the painting world. A second example and perhaps one of the best was also a painter, Vincent Van Gogh. Van Gogh also one of the world's best painters was effected in the deepest ways by things that most people wouldn't give a second thought to. This sensitivity ef ...
... be tried unjustly. The story of Roderigo Lopez sets the tone for The Merchant of Venice. Lopez' incident occurred in 1594, The Merchant of Venice was written only two years later. Anti-Semitism was prevalent during Shakespeares' time, and therefore we must understand that it was as easy for him to make a Jewish man the villain as it would be for us to make a Nazi the villain. According to Sylvan Barnet "The Merchant of Venice [shows] the broad outline of a comedy (not merely a play with jests, but a play that ends happily). . . the villain in the comedy must be entirely villainous, or, rather, comically villainous; he cannot for a moment gain the audience's sym ...
... rose to an unprecedented high -- the bottom of the knee. They stayed there until almost 1929 when they finally plummeted back down to the lower calf. It may surprise you to learn that in the 1920's, a lot of clothing was still made at home or by tailors and dressmakers. The brand-name, ready-to-wear industry didn't really exist until the 1930's. Therefore, many women obtained patterns that would allow them to create their own clothing out of fabrics such as wool, silk, linen or cotton. There were also two important ethnic influences on the fabric and prints of the 1920s. One of those influences was Chinese, whose culture inspired several kimono styles, em ...
... me" (1245)! Oedipus is now accusing Creon to be plotting to kill him. These illustrations surely demonstrate how quick Oedipus comes to judging and accusing others of very major and treacherous crimes. Oedipus repeatedly and falsely accused others of the crime that he committed, even though unknowing at the time. Even Creon tells him, "You cannot judge unless you know the facts" (1248). Creon tries to tell Oedipus to quit judging him because the facts, to Oedipus, were yet unknown. Another example of Oedipus habit of falsely accusing is a quote from Michael O'Brien, "Certain of Oedipus' past actions were fate-bound; but everything that he does on the sta ...
