The Pit And The Pendulum: Movie Vs. Book
Number of words: 586 | Number of pages: 3.... the dungeon until they
met with the doctor. Then Nicholas fainted, and his wife, who never really died,
told him that it was all scheme. She and the doctor were having an affair. He
chased the doctor and he fell into a pit and died. He stuck his wife in a
torture machine out of sight and gagged her.
Then her brother came down. Nicholas seized him and put him on table
below a razor sharp pendulum. Right as it was cutting his shirt two servants
busted in and threw Nicholas into the pit with the doctor and saved him.
This movie, I think anyway, was a very poor interpretation of the short
story. In the story none every c .....

Macbeth: Lying
Number of words: 857 | Number of pages: 4.... that lead him to paranoia, grief, and his
downfall.
The first set of prophecies the witches reveal to Macbeth, in act 1,
scene 3, was that Macbeth is to become thane of Glamis, thane of Cawdor and
that he shall be king. They also said "Thou shalt get kings, though thou
be none." Macbeth was shocked when the first two prophecies came true. In
act 1, scene 3 he spoke of his fears, saying "unfix my hair, and make my
seated heart knock at my ribs." In Elizabethan times, witches were known as
creatures of the devils; satanic creatures who roam the world to cause
destruction and chaos. But how can devils speak of grea .....

A Character Analysis Of Macbeth In Shakespeare's Macbeth
Number of words: 842 | Number of pages: 4.... such a fearless fighter that the
day would be remembered for centuries to come the sergeant says: "Or
memorize another Golgotha," this tells us that Macbeth would have gone
down in the books as Scotland's heroic warrior. Macbeth had two glorious
battles both of which he had won. from these battles and the sergeants
words we can truly say that Macbeth was a great warrior.
Macbeth is also to be portrayed as an insane man, but I think that
this is not to be true. An insane man is supposed to be delirious, make no
sense what-so-ever, and to enjoy the killing and deaths of others. On the
contrary Macbeth is none of these, he in .....

Film Review: Close Encounters Of The Third Kind
Number of words: 598 | Number of pages: 3.... in one instant is
completely normal, and at other times becomes utterly insane. Melinda Barro
also puts in an extremely believable performance as Dreyfuss's side-kick in
search of her abducted son. But perhaps the most hidden success of this movie
is the very underrated actress Teri Garr, who put in her two cents as Dreyfuss's
wife. Garr did play a small role, yet it was effective, it produced a gauge of
just how crazy Dreyfuss was really getting. The wonderful acting carried the
film over the obvious special effects that Spielberg uses.
This film was pretty much original for it's time, but once you see the
special effects, y .....

Gloucester believed that Lear’s actions also came as a result of the star’s unusual behaviour. Edmund, the treacherous and bastard son of Gloucester, exploits Gloucester’s blind believe in the stars in his plot to oust Edgar out of the inheritance and ultimately to gain all of Gloucester’s wealth and land:
This is the exc .....
