... a character of pure evil lacks depth in that he only has one purpose; to better himself at the expense of others. Upon comparison of Edmund and Claudius' language one witnesses a stark contrast in the moral worth of each character. Although one might argue that both are cruel murderers, there still remains a large moral gap between Edmund and Claudius. The choice of language by a character often reveals insight into his character. The use of literary devices such as symbolism, irony, and double meaning all reveal more than what is literally expressed by a character. Often much of a character's speech is expressed while in the presence of other character ...
... King Henry is the first to speak and sets a sombre tone as he begins to unmask himself to his son A. . . some displeasing service I have done @ (3.2.5). As well Shakespeare allows King Henry to bring Prince Hal=s mask to attention by using anaphora: Could such inordinate and low desires, Such poor, such bare, such lewd, such mean attempt, such barren pleasures, rude society as there art matched withal . . . (3.2.12-15). The word such is used to emphasise his [Henry] displeasure of Hal=s friends and the image they portray around him causing Hal in the eyes of Henry to lose his princely image. Shakespeare, t ...
... better than they actually are to the surroundings in the news room on the six o'clock news. The real question is 'Where dose this leave the traditional methods of rendering images and type?' I feel that in the next 10 years there will be a flood of traditional style and people will be crying out for the personal touch of a photographer using chemicals in a darkroom. The images produced will not necessarily look traditional but they will use the methods traditionally used to produce effects which can't be produced by a computer. There are many different looks that can be produced by a camera e.g. pin hole cameras, old style cameras and Polaroid (Fig 1+2) which ...
... Children's television which was a mixture of songs, education, fun, and a whole lot more. In 1969, the first airing of "Sesame Street" took place. Sesame Street had programs which were sponsored by different letters of the alphabet or numbers each day, and relied on very short, animated cartoons with live and puppet segments which kept the interest of preschool children. The show was an instant outstanding success, and still broadcasts today. In 1970, "Mr. Roger's Neighborhood" was born. Mr. Fred Roger's used puppets and music to teach patience and cooperation, while providing guidance to help children cope with feelings and frustrations. Mr. Roger's land of ...
... chaos by nature. They associate with evil spirits and obey them, and they are followers of the evil goddess, Hecate. In the play the witches, with their spells, plan the downfall of Macbeth. They cannot directly harm him themselves, so they tell Macbeth predictions for his possible future, in order to make him act on them. The witches tell Macbeth that he will become the thane of Cawdor and then king of Scotland. They poison his mind with these prophesies, making him greedy and bringing out the evil qualities in his soul. When the first of the promises is proven authentic, Macbeth then considers the idea of murdering Duncan for the first time. This is his first step ...
... the scene for the whole of the play, a bloody war. There is more blood when MacBeth and his lady have killed Duncan, the blood symbolises guilt so Lady MacBeth smears blood onto the guards and then cleans herself of the blood on her. "A little water clears us of this deed," meaning that if there is no blood on them they can not be guilty. Banqueting, eating and food symbolise a happy and unsuspecting atmosphere. When you are in a crowd you feel safe and not threatened. If you are with a lot of people when there is a crime you have a very strong alibi. When Macbeth was at his banquet he made a toast to Banquo who was not present, MacBeth knew exactly w ...

( Act II scene 2 page 84 line 577- 580 ). During the play Hamlet watches is uncle Claudius to see his reaction when the actors perform the murder scene.

... murder Duncan by putting his manhood and courage at stake (I,7, "When you durst do it, then you were a man;/ And to be more than what you were, you would be so much more the man"). As Macbeth started degrading he lost some bravery (IV, 1, "That I may tell pale- hearted fear it lies"). In his fight with Macduff, some of his old courage and strength returned. Macbeth could be brave when it came to action but when he started thinking he would hesitate and would have to be urged into action by his wife or by the sense of security that he obtained from the prophecies of the supernatural. He changed his mind five times before murdering Duncan. The witches' prophecy that ...
... encaptivates the casual browser with its bright yellow background with a large purple type set across the top of the page accompanied by the words: `Size Matters". This leads the reader to ponder the meaning of this rather unusual phrase and to further read the smaller print. Here, the reader encounters an irregular font of different sizes to accentuate certain words. While this may be annoying to many, its overall purpose is to create a lively playful environment through the usage of fonts. This, of course, is an attempt to appeal to a younger gaming audience. On the other hand, the `Microsoft Project' ad does not envoke any visual desire read further into t ...
... have nowhere else to go anyway. Doing this allowed Eve to get her foot in the door. If it wasn't for Margo's conceitedness, Eve would have had to work a little bit harder to get this. Margo took her into her home. Margo's secretary-aid, Birdie (Thelma Ritter), was the first to sense something was strange about Eve, but her position made it not her place to speak her mind. Eve knew this and also knew it would be easy to take control of her position because of this. It would only seem to Margo that she enjoyed doing things for her. Eve charmed Bill Simpson (Gary Merrill), director and Margo's lover, with her feminine qualities that Margo lacked. Eve ju ...
