... really disheartening, because the Thane of Cawdor, deserved his fate. He was leading a battle, in which many lost their lives, for the sake of greed, and deserved to die because of his flaw. Duncan was the King of England, and was murdered by MacBeth. He was murdered, because in order for MacBeth to fulfill his plan and become king, Duncan would have to die. Duncan's fatal flaw was that he was too trusting. For example, he thought that none of his friends could really be enemies. If Duncan was more careful about his safety at MacBeth's castle, he may have had a chance to survive. But Duncan's flaw, wasn't something so horrible that he should die. Most people n ...
... play?" Yes, Franco Zeffelli's film was an improvement over Shakespeares play because he changed the dialogue a little, he made the location better, and the Tybalt and Romeo duel was action packed. I really liked the real elaborate scenery in the movie. I liked all the nice looking buildings. I also liked the scenery because it was real open and right in the center of the city. Franco Zeffelli really added a lot to the great battle scene between Romeo and Tybalt. In the actual play the fight sounded stupid and it seemed like it barely lasted a minute. In the movie the fight scene was great because it was a long fierce fight. Franco Zeffelli's film was a ...
... apes if they had been able to communicate? Yes, they would have been free to live as equals. The apes and the humans would have been co-inhabitants of the earth rather than creatues in a superior- inferior relationship. "Planet of the Apes" is a perfect example of why language is so important. Another reason I am disputing Mr. Burrough's opinion of this movie is its strong message concerning how humans were treated by apes. When we watched "Planet of the Apes," we cannot fail to notice the mutes are treated. They were beaten, battered and bruised; they were attacked and assaulted; worst of all, they were degraded, disgraced and caged like animals. This is ...
... level, pulls both views together. By doing this, an illusion of an actual structure is created. The interior volume of this 'structure' is an tension of the space that the person looking at the work is standing in. The adjustment of the spectator to the pictured space is one of the first steps in the development of illusionistic painting. Illusionistic painting fascinated many artists of the Renaissance and Baroque periods. The proportions in this painting are so numerically exact that one can actually calculate the numerical dimensions of the chapel in the background. The span of the painted vault is seven feet, and the depth is nine feet. "Thus, he ac ...
... someone's life. So he keeps doing weird stuff convincing people that he really is crazy. In Act 3 Scene 4 his Mom the Queen says "Alas he is Mad." This shows that his plan is working out so far. During Hamlet's act of playing crazy and planning to kill Claudius it has helped him find the real value of human life. In Hamlets "To Be or not to Be" speech he ponders the value of his own life and the value of Claudius life in retrospective to his own life. He wonders does one murder really warrant another person to die? Now If Hamlet was truly crazy he would not of spent all on this careful planning and thought. He would have killed his uncle a few hours after seeing the ...
... me as a child. I was born into a family of distaste and disfavor. I’ve only seen my father a couple times. He was always out at the taverns with the wenches. That’s how he met my mother, the beautiful harlot. She had to sell her body just to make ends meet. As soon as I was old enough to understand how life was for me, I went to work. At the age of 6 I was out on the streets offering my services to any whom would need them. I can still remember my first job cleaning up after horses. I would stay in the stables all day long digging up the foul-smelling mess of the animals. Oh, how the days went by. After many years of the same cleaning I decided it was ...
... comedies (Frye 57-8). I imagine that Ophelia's reactions to Hamlet's language presumably come’s not from shock, but from confusion over his sudden change of mood and attitude toward her since the Nunnery Scene. She of course has no idea of the state he is in, and it is possible that she thinks his condition has indeed been caused by her following her father's instructions and refusing to see him. In the conflict between her love for Hamlet and her duty of obedience to her father's orders, she grants to Polonius' wishes. Hamlet, however, is less obedient to the orders of the ghost, his father. In essence, "pretty Ophelia," as Claudius calls her, is the mo ...
... popular film starring Daniel Day Lewis as a white scout named Hawkeye raised as a Mohican in The Last of the Mohicans (1992)), Francis Parkman's The Oregon Trail (1849), Samuel Clemens' (Mark Twain) Roughing It (1872), Bret Harte's short stories, and other mythologies (tales of Davy Crockett, Daniel Boone, Jim Bowie, Gen. George A Custer, Calamity Jane, and outlaws such as the James Brothers, the original Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, and Billy the Kid). Westerns are often set on the American frontier during the last part of the 19th century (1865-1900) following the Civil War, in a geographically western (trans-Mississippi) setting with romantic, sweeping fro ...
... where he could work with his hands and be a real man. Biff and Happy follow in their father's footsteps in their lofty dreams and unrealistic goals. Biff wastes his life being a thief and a loner; furthermore, Biff, along with happy try to conjure up a crazy idea of putting on a sporting goods exhibition. The problem with Willy is that he never grows up and deals with his obstacles. Willy is also a very stubborn man. He is like a little child that wants to do something their way even though they know that another option would be the wiser choice. Charley practically sets a potential job into Willy's lap and he refuses it. Willy just was fired and needed a job. ...
... the lack of profit involved. In his play "All My Sons," Miller makes it apparent that society in general values money and profit more than human life. He shows this by his portrayal of Keller. Keller ships out cracked cylinder heads, aware that in flight they will cause planes to crash, to save his business from being shut down. Furthermore, he goes on to allow the blame to fall on Steve, in order to save himself from going to jail, even though Steve was not the only one guilty. Keller tries to rationalize his actions by saying that he committed this heinous act for the benefit of his family- so that they will have money and everything else they need and ca ...
