... just become totally selfish. Language: Lady Macbeth scolds Macbeth for giving in to his fears, and letting his imagination get the best of him.

... (Perkins, 1511). Charles Feidelson, Jr. and Paul Brodtkorb, Jr. approach this sense rationally when they write of the narrator incorporating various senses; one being a sixth sense of vague and indescribable realities behind the physical and apparent and another being a clever, reational interpretation of unsensible phenomena (52). Although the narrator tries to view everything he sees in a rational manner, upon seeing the house and its surroundings, he has a heightened sense of superstition. He goes on to say that, "about the whole mansion and domain there hung an atmosphere peculiar to themselves and their immediate vicinity" (Perkins, 1513). This statement indic ...
... event and because of fate, had been spared. He wrote Slaughterhouse Five to answer the question that resounded through his head long after the bombs could no longer be heard. "Why me?"- a frequent question asked by survivors of war. Vonnegut was tormented by this question and through Billy Pilgrim, the protagonist in Slaughterhouse Five, he attempts to reconcile the guilt which one feels when one is randomly saved from death, while one's friends and loved ones perish. Billy Pilgrim's own life was spared, but was never able to live with himself knowing that so many others had died. The feelings of guilt which emerged from his having survived the bombing of Dresden an ...
... “ And this man is now become a god, and Cassius is now a wretched creature, and must bend his body if Caesar careless but nod on him…”. Cassius continues on saying about times when he saved Caesar from drowning and when he saw Caesar with a fever and he started to shake. All this tells us that Cassius thinks he is just as good or even better than Caesar. Cassius first shows his character of deceit when he put false notes from people in the window of Brutus. This was so Brutus would think a lot of people would be with him if he killed Caesar. He also tries to make Brutus jealous of Caesar. Cassius says to Brutus (act 1,scene 2,line 43), “ “Brutus ...
... the whole way. When he visited Mars, even with the bizarre scenery it seemed so real. "He saw nothing but colours - colours that refused to form themselves into things. Moreover, he new nothing yet well enough to see it: you can not see things till you know roughly what they are. His first impression was a bright, pale world - a water-coloured world out of a child's paint box." Lewis also has a gift for making strong points in his novel without making the reader feel guilty, because he uses such human characters that are filled with normal and relatable flaws. Even with the main character's name, Ransom he sends a message, because as you read this book, you wi ...
... can keep watch over everyone's actions. They do this to keep individuals in line. The Party members are not allowed to love or keep a family. The proles, because they are considered to be inferior and stupid, so it is ok for them to think and love and have a family. But they still do not have freedom; the government still keeps track of their actions. "Proles and animals are free." Since the Proles make up 85% of the population in Oceania, the government had to give them some freedom or they would rebel. This is also why the government's motto is ignorance is strength. As long as the people do not realize what is going on, then the government will continue t ...
... the play. The first indication of this comes at his soliloquy in Act 2, Scene 1. It would be impossible for a reasonable man to have boozed and bummed all of his teen years and suddenly renounce his life and become reborn. There is an amoral quality to Hal that allows him to change allegiances as political winds would call it wise. But it is not just amorality that makes Hal a politician - he desires power as well. His amorality culminates in his eulogies for Hotspur and Falstaff with the greatest grasp of power he makes in the play. After he gives them and Falstaff is found alive, he realizes that he has made a slight blunder and backs off a bit, allowing Fal ...
... done at a special occasion with wine or other beverage to propose success. Either way one sees it, both meanings apply to the plot of the show. This is what Berger is trying to explain in his semiotic analysis. Another example Berger uses is the example about the names of the cast of the television show, “Cheers”. Berger states that there is a definite meaning behind every character’s name in the show. For example, the character named “Coach” is an absent-minded character that can’t even remember his own name. The real meaning of the word “coach” is a mentor or a teacher. This is not a very good argument used by ...
... alarms were detected in time to halt a counter-strike mainly because it was peace time and no one's finger poised over the "button". During a crisis, peoples high levels of stress create suspicions where there shouldn't be, and as a result many safe guards are removed that are in place to prevent an accidental launch. It is feared that under these circumstances it would be quite easy for a flock of geese to set off a nuclear war. Another fear is that a smaller nation, such as recent Korea, could gain control of, and utilize nuclear weapons, and trigger a war between the super powers. This type is called a catalytic nuclear war. There are two types of control ov ...
