... early indication we can see that Macbeth is a fierce and bloody man at this point his speech gives the impression of Macbeth as a hero but it foretells of decent of Macbeth from hero to butcher. Macbeth can only be brave when he knows what he is doing and feels justified in doing it. He feels like this at the beginning of the play when he is prey to doubts and fears. We first see Macbeth afraid when he thinks of murdering Duncan it makes his hair stand on end and his heart pound. In Act2, scene 1 when Macbeth makes his “Is this a dagger…” speech he is horrified at the murder he is to commit, afraid that even the stones he walks on will give him away. In Act2 ...
... is on a character named ashtray (Shawn Wayans), which goes back to the hood when his mom takes him there. Ashtray says, "will I see you again mom?" "Sorry, you know there ain't know positive females in any of these movies," she replied. Ashtray meets up with his cousin Loc Dog (Marlon Wayans), who has marijuana and condoms in his hair, and meets a bunch of gangsters from the hood. Tracy Cherelle Jones plays the hoods biggest prostitute. At one point in the movie she says, "Now sweeties, what do you say when you meet a nice man?" "Are you my daddy?' The children answer. When they are trying to make fun of the hood they over do it too much. For example makin ...
... students a lift home because his car broke down. They invite the trucker in to eat, because they had an extra seat at the table and their originally invited guest could not make it for dinner. The trucker ends up being an anti-Semite and he is also an ex-marine. Immediately after the trucker sits down at the table to eat he starts pointing out to the five students that he hates Jews and that they always try to bargain down anything that they buy. All five of the students are stunned by the remarks that the trucker is making, especially one of the students that is Jewish. They all get into a heated argument and the trucker goes out of control; in addition, he gr ...
... displayed dissimilar costumes and music. As a result of these director's different views of war, the audience receives a different experience after viewing each film. Although both Olivier and Branagh depicted the identical Shakespearean production, the result is two very different films. In 1944, at the closing of World War II, Laurence Olivier adopted William Shakespeare's script of Henry V. Using the setting, costumes, and music in his film, Olivier presented an overall idealized view of war. The cartoon-like opening, when the field of Agincourt is shown as a grassy land against a picturesque sky, sets the mood of the movie. The audience sees a pleasin ...
... I have seen a small equivalency in the amount of comicness and tragedy in the play. I have come up with the conclusion that William Shakespeare was a great playwright and must have been an absolute genius to compose the great and wonderful things that he did. The Merchant of Venice is excellent in it's way of describing the characters. The emotion is spread out thoroughly like warm butter on hot toast. The tragedy in The Merchant of Venice is believable and almost true in a sense of my opinion in relating to greed, human desire, and most important let not forget, anguish. Throughout The Merchant of Venice there are many strong feelings displayed through ...
... drink, Nick and Honey's involvement in the conversation becomes more fluid and the remarks become more poignant. This, in turn, increases the intensity of the insults between George and Martha. For them prodding is a game of one-upmanship with words their only weapon. As the play progresses the implications of this become increasingly serious. In an epic, Abrams explains that the "fate of a tribe, a nation, or the human race" lies in the out come of the hero's battle. The battle between George and Martha only affects their relationship and on this night spills into the lives of Nick and Honey. Drunkenness exaggerates their actions, so that the extremes of ...
... turn of events, as his action turn the preceding part of the play from a short comedy into a full-length tragedy. On the streets of Verona, Tybalt and his subject run into their warring counterparts, Benvolio and Mercutio, of the Montague household. Being a peaceful man, Benvolio talks of peace, trying to stay away from any further clashes. Nevertheless, at the sound of the word “peace” Tybalt illustrates his animosity toward the Montagues, as he repulsively responds, “I hate the word / As I hate hell, all Montagues, and thee” (1.1.68-69). This remark was sparked after a short confrontation, which was stopped by citizens and peace officers. Later in th ...

... in front of her. "The other" also appears as gangsters in the movie. Travis, in order to eliminate them, becomes a criminal just like them. Therefore in "Taxi Driver",we see two good examples of "The Other". In "Taxi Driver" we see that Travis Bickle still has an identity forming problem, or I might say that he has unconsciously formed an identity during his childhood, but he's trying to find it. It was his curiosity about his identity that was giving him problems to sleep. Basically, his identity should be formed based on his father's identity, but nothing is obvious. Whoever his (Travis) model was, planted the confidence in Travis to form his identity. For exam ...
... we can tell that Oepidus’ remorse is sincere. He is not consumed in his own misery, on the contrary he is more concerned with the impact on his people. Long before we come into the story, Oepidus “sent Menoeceus’ son Creon, Jocasta’s brother, to Apollo, to his Pythian temple, so that he might learn there by what act or word [Oedipus] could save [his] city.” (60-73) Upon returning, Creon brings with him encouraging news that saving Thebes is a simple task of finding and driving out Laius’ murderer or murderers. At once Oedipus begins this task with these words to his people: “I forbid any to welcome him or cry him greeting or make him a sharer ...
