Number of words: 696 | Number of pages: 3.... are even showing numerous acts of violence and most of this violence is
done by the "good guys". For example, Power Rangers; how do they get rid of the
bad guys? by fighting . During the whole episode you see the "Rangers" kicking,
punching and attacking the bad guys. Other shows like X-men, Sailor Moon,
Looney Tones, and even Care Bears show violence towards others. It's no wonder
children think it's okay to act this way when even their "Super Heroes" who are
supposed to be the good guys are hurting others. They see the good guys doing
these things and think it's appropriate.
I've notice even with my own cousin th .....

Movie: The Grapes Of Wrath - The People And The Depression
Number of words: 760 | Number of pages: 3.... Works Projects Administration was
created to develop relief programs, and to keep a person's skills. From 1935-
1943, it employed 8 million people, and spent 11 billion dollars. But in 1939,
there were still 9.5 million still unemployed. Another program was the Civilian
Conservation Corps. Unemployed, unmarried young men were enlisted to work on
conservation and resource-development projects such as soil conservation, flood

food, lodging, and other necessities, and were given a small monthly salary.
Another program was the CWA, the civil works admi .....

Macbeth: Destiny Of Each Character Is Pre-determined
Number of words: 831 | Number of pages: 4.... Macbeth aware of the possibility? There was no
reason to warn Macbeth of the fate in store for him, since it is most
likely impossible for a person to alter their destiny. It is quite
possible that the witches have no real power at all, beyond that of
suggestion. They may have only planted the idea within Macbeth, feeding
off his already present ambition. Perhaps the only true controlling power
comes from Lady Macbeth's uncontrollable greed.
Once Lady Macbeth had learned of the witches' prophecy, she immediately
concluded that Macbeth would not, with his present persona, be able to
attain that which fate had bestowed upon .....

Oedipus: Fates
Number of words: 1421 | Number of pages: 6.... sin. This ideal itself, and the whole
concept of determinism, is quite common in the workings of Greek and Classical
literature. A manifest example of this was the infamous Oedipus of The Theban
Plays, a man who tried to defy fate, and therefore sinned.
The logic of Oedipus' transgression is actually quite obvious, and
Oedipus' father, King Laius, also has an analogous methodology and transgression.
They both had unfortunate destinies: Laius was destined to be killed by his own
son, and Oedipus was destined to kill his father and marry his mother. This was
the ominous decree from the divinatory Oracle at Delphi. King Laius .....

The Rise And Fall Of Lady Macbeth
Number of words: 726 | Number of pages: 3.... referring to her role as a woman, both physically and emotionally in
negative ways. In the above quote, Lady Macbeth is commenting on her husband's
lack of gall, stating, that quite frankly, she would make a better man than
he.
Although still a very strong woman, we see the first signs of weakness
in Lady's Macbeth's character in Act II, Scene ii, 12-13. She says, “Had he
not resembled/ My father as he slept, I had done it.” She is giving an excuse
for not killing Duncan herself. As you can plainly see, this is not the same
Lady Macbeth that would bash a baby's brains in in the beginning of the play .....

Advertising - Good Or Bad
Number of words: 210 | Number of pages: 1.... this goal,
advertises are willing to stretch and distort the truth, just to convincing
people to buy their product. For example, an advertiser may convince
buyers to purchase their product by stating that has been tested and found
superior. In reality, the product is not likely to be beter than any other
- the tests themselves doubtlessly conducted by the promoting company -
conducted to ensure at least something is superior about the product, even
if it is only the colour.
These advertisments are worded carefully so that they are telling the
"literal truth" - the truth is exactly what the words say, although people
misint .....

Romeo & Juliet: Friar Lawrence
Number of words: 622 | Number of pages: 3.... he and I shall watch thy waking,
and that very night shall Romeo bear thee to Mantua." (Act 4, Scene 1), he tells
Juliet how everything will be all right. Unfortunately, for all his good
intentions the play still ends in tragedy.
Friar Lawrence is a man who is not afraid to take risks when he feels it is
neccesary to help someone. For example in Act 2, Scene 6, when he marries Romeo
and Juliet, he is risking his reputation as a Friar so he can help the two
lovers. Also, when he says "Take thou this vial, being then in bed, and this
distilled liquor drink though off;" (Act 4, Scene 1), he is suggesting that
Juliet drink a .....

Is There Any Justification For Regarding Euripedes' Electra As An Inferior Tragedy?
Number of words: 2009 | Number of pages: 8.... of their crime for the rest of their lives.
The tragedy in Electra is not simply confined to the action of the play, and in the first speech the Peasant reveals to the audience that it is more of an ongoing affliction on the house of Agamemnon. In one sentence the Peasant reveals the sole reason for Electra's revenge, and the reason for this play itself, when he tells us how Agamemnon "died, by his wife Clytamnestra's treachery and by Aegisthus' murderous hand." It soon becomes apparent that Agamemnon's daughter will not let this crime rest either and she herself feels like she has been treated a great injustice after her mo .....

Hamlet: Tragedy In Hamlet
Number of words: 1953 | Number of pages: 8.... of Hamlet. It is the above mentioned elements;
character, plot and setting, used in a non-Aristotelian way, that makes
Hamlet work as a one of the English language's most renown tragedies.
By proper revenge we refer to the Elizabethan view that revenge must
be sought in certain cases, for the world to continue properly. This is the
main plot of Hamlet. In Poetics, Aristotle defines for us, the element of
plot and shows us how he believes it must be put together. He also believes
in various unities which he states are necessary for a proper tragedy.
Aristotle believes in what he calls "Unity of plot" (Aristotle 42 - 3).
