... audience would be unreasonable, and this would evoke a sort of villainy towards Shylock. But a few moments later, the audience witnesses Shylock's speech about Antonio's abuses towards Shylock. (I. iii. 107-130) This speech does well in invoking the audience's pity, however little it might be in the sixteenth century. But again at the end, Shylock offers that Antonio give up a pound of flesh as penalty of forfeiture of the bond, which Antonio sees as a joke, but which Shylock fully intends to collect. (I. iii. 144-78) This action negates any pity which Shylock would have one from the audience just a few moments before. Shakespeare, in this scene, uses Shylock's ...
... at him. Then when they see his devotion to being free they were begging him to plead mercy to the King of England to see him suffer no more. When you see the close ups of William Wallace you can actually see the devotion he gave to his wife and to his country of Scotland. He holds his wife’s marriage cloth to him in his hands at all times to show it to her. He shows his devotion to his country by standing up taking the worst punishment and the scream of FREEDOM… The Queen in this scene, in the king’s chambers, is imagining the pain William is going through. The king on his deathbed is watching her emotions the whole time, probably dreading what his c ...
... and were often found on the exterior of their cedar dwellings, as well as blankets and skirts. The Northwest people made masks for their ceremonies, many of which had moveable facial features. They also made wooden effigy helmets and clan hats that represented the groups crest animal. In California, basketry was a distinguishing feature. The baskets had natural and geometric designs, and frequently incorporated feathers and abalone in them. The Chumash cave paintings are unique to California. Some were painted only in red, and others included white black and yellow. The paintings were sometimes representational, displaying plant, animal, and human characteris ...

... different attempts to achieve this would lead to mutual destruction. If I - and everyone included - unhampered and in absolute selfishness only seek my own, the misfortune I could inflict on someone would naturally be limitless. So there has to be a further addition to the concept of Good. The Good, we might add, is not only the instantaneous need for satisfaction - in a matter of time it will often turn out to be an evil - but it is in fact the absolute purpose for any human being (the highest Good), and it isn't just common for everyone, but, when you strive for it, you include the others in a true community. But that means that the Good isn't ...
... own conscience is nagging at him but he allows Lady Macbeth and greed to cloud his judgement. In referring to the idea of the murder of Duncan, Macbeth first states,"We will proceed no further in this business"(I, vii, 32). Yet, after speaking with Lady Macbeth he recants and proclaims, "I am settled, and bend up /Each corporal agent to this terrible feat"(I, vii, 79-80). He allows himself to be swayed by the woman he loves. Lady Macbeth gave him an ultimatum and provoked him by saying: 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..... (I, vii, 49-51) She provokes him by questioning his m ...
... beatings, a rape, and a murder are performed by the lead characters. These crimes are drug induced. Before going out, the gang goes to the "milk bar" for some "milk plus" which is riddled with amphetamines. The first violent act came not more than ten minutes into the movie. It was when the boys, led by Alex, beat a helpless wino that asked them for some change. The gang then strode away as if nothing occurred. They struck him repeatedly with canes and they kicked him a few times to the job. Next, the boys went to see a rival gang. This other group was in the middle of raping a woman when Alex and Company came in and intervened. They proceeded to beat the ...
... greed, and covering up their own behavior. Many of the accusers have meddled in witchcraft themselves, and are therefore doubly to be distrusted. (Warshow 116) The court convicts the victims on the most absurd testimony, and the reader has to wonder how the judges and the townspeople could let such a charade continue. The leading character of the play is John Proctor, a man who often serves as the only voice of reason in the play. He had an affair with Abigail Williams, who later charges his wife with witchcraft. Proctor is seemingly the only person who can see through the children's accusations. The reader sees him as one of the more "modern" figures i ...
... Sullivan escapes from prison, Pat is waiting in the car and all that you can see is her face, a result of low-key lighting. The use of this type of lighting is used to increase the intensity of the scene and define the mood. By directing their attention to Pat’s face, the audience can concentrate on her facial expressions and sense her fear. The direction of the light also plays a key role in creating a successful visual image. An example of this is the use of front-lighting and back-lighting in the scene on the boat where Joe is talking to Pat about their new married life. The camera focuses on a side view of Pat’s face. There is a light shining from the ...
... spends most of his time in solitude; he is often seen walking alone, talking to himself. Upon deeper investigation, it is discovered that Hamlet is seeing the ghost of the ex-King of Denmark, Hamlet’s father. The ghost becomes Hamlet’s counselor, guiding him through his everyday maze of depression and confusion. It is through the ghost of his father that he learns that Claudius, the new King of Denmark, is solely responsible for his father’s “foul and most unnatural murder” (I.v.26). He claims that he is told to seek revenge on his father’s murder by murdering Claudius. Hamlet sees the ghost at various times over the course of the play, appearing w ...
