... for each other rather than loving each other. It also appears that Antony is more in love with the idea of Cleopatra than with the woman herself. This kind of thing is very common. People often think very highly of the person that they met at on vacation, even if the person would not have been right for them. It is more likely that they love the place and the time rather than the person. Antony is also the greatest Roman soldier, and the respect for him by the people is enormous. However, this respect comes directly from his being an excellent soldier and a superb politician. Like other Roman soldiers, Antony believes in the Roman style of life: War, honour, ...
... country's flunking educational system. The movie is mostly about life when you have nowhere to turn. In the movie, the students are expected to fail and if it were not for the determination of LouAnne Johnson these students probably would have failed. At the beginning of the movie it shows how two teachers have already quit their job at this school and had given up on these students. Many educational stereotypes are out in today's world, which makes people believe that these students do not want to learn or just do not care about their futures. While this may be true in some instances many students are desperate to connect with someone who cares about them. ...
... is already married. Although this is a blatent lie on Iago's part, as the viewer sees not a single hint that Desdemona even acknowledges Roderigo's existance, it is so cleverly delivered to Roderigo that he takes as a fact, even when the facts show otherwise. Iago controls Emilia through her love that she has for him. He uses her love of him to get her to steal Desdemona's handkerchief. Othello is manipulated by suggestion and hints that are carefully worded and said at just the right moment. Each one weakens his faith in Desdemona a little more. Then Iago produces “evidence” to add weight to his innuendos. The evidence is so believeably delivered an ...

Regeneration is first shown when Cat’s father gets killed at the bar and they have to use the last of the juice that brings people back to life.

... been the desire of man to avoid the perils that his fate ho lds andthus he unceasingly attempts to thwart fate and the will of the divine.. Within the principle of determinism, this outright contention to divine mandate is blasphemous and considered sin. This ideal itself, and the whole concept of determinism, is quite common in the workings of Greek and Classical literature. A manifest example of this was the infamous Oedipus of The Theban Plays, a man who tried to defy fate, and therefore sinned. The logic of Oedipus' transgression is actually quite obvious, and Oedipus' father, King Laius, also has an analogous methodology and transgression. They both had ...
... by saying; “Disproved this villain, if thou be’st a man. He say thou toldst him that his wife was false. I know thou’rt not such a villain. Speak for my heart is full.” Iago replied; “ I told him what I thought and told no more than what he found himself was apt and true.” (Act V, sc.ii, lines179-184) Although Iago was solely responsible for the tragedy, he could not have succeeded if it was not for the gullible characters as targets for him to hit. In Richard’s case, he did not use his sources wisely. Richard underestimated the powers of women in the play, which consequently lead him to his downfall. He had the choice of killing Queen El ...
... son to have felt obligated to care for him. He respects you a great deal and is proud to see you out working magic as he once did. MENDEVOLIN: As much work as it may have been, it wouldn't have seemed a burden, because it would have been spent with my father. Now it's too late. Please take me to him now so that I might spend these last few moments of his life with him. HIGH PRIEST: Come with me. He's resting in the basement of the church, you'll have to make it quick, he doesn't have much longer. (HIGH PRIEST and MENDEVOLIN exit stage right.) ACT I SCENE II (MENDEVOLIN'S father lies on bed center stage. MENDEVOLIN enters stage left and approaches h ...
... could possibly happen because he was the King of Thebes. The people of Thebes looked up to King Oedipus, everyone wanted to be like him. As the play moves into scene one, already you can see Oedipus changing. We have to remember though that this play was only a day long so he faces all of these challenges in just one day. It seems like every time King Liaos death is brought up, Oedipus always blames it on someone. Oedipus then tells everyone that the person who killed King Liaos will be put to death when found. When he says this, it tells the people that he didn’t kill him. As the play goes on he blames the death on Kreon. After that he blames Teiresias for ...
