MacBeth
Number of words: 817 | Number of pages: 3.... 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 need to trust each other more, and just because one person did,
he shouldn't have to die. MacBeth's former best friend, Banquo was also
killed by MacBeth. Banquo was killed, because he knew too much about the
murder .....

Number of words: 1526 | Number of pages: 6.... does not understand her obedience to Polonius. Therefore, in the Nunnery Scene, Hamlet confesses to Ophelia that, “I loved you not” (3.1.117). He has too much pride and rage to confess his love for her.
In essence, “Pretty Ophelia,” as Claudius calls her, is the most innocent victim of Hamlet’s revenge. Hamlet fell in love with Ophelia after the depressing event of his father’s death. According to Arthur Eastman, Hamlet thought of his mother as a perfection or as an excellence and set his heart on Ophelia. Ophelia is an obsession for Hamlet. She had “sucked the honey of his music vows” and returned his affecti .....

means which ties up the loose ends at the end of the play.
Now, Roderigo. Roderigo is a foolish, cheated, gulled, dimwit.

His obedience towards Iago can be compared to that of Lennie Small
towards George Milton in the book Of Mice and Men, By John Steinbeck.
He does whatever Iago tells him to do, consistently in the hope of
obtaining Desdemona's .....

Number of words: 721 | Number of pages: 3.... instead of blending in harmony, and the rhythms are typically Chinese. Chinese melodies are very different from American tunes. Chinese scales are extremely different from American ones. Chinese music is built on five or seven notes. American music is built on the eight-note octave, with five half notes. Many Chinese tunes are never written on paper. They are remembered and taught to younger musicians.
The Chinese use stringed instruments, similar to mandolins. They also use many bells, gongs, and reed instruments. Malm says, "There are descriptions of musical instruments which, in China, give us tantalizing hin .....

Number of words: 706 | Number of pages: 3.... know how deeply, how passionately Torvald is in love
with me. He would never hesitate for a moment to sacrifice his life for my
sake.”
Later in the play Nora made the same mistake with Kristine Linde as
she did with Dr. Rank. In the following line Nora expresses her belief of
what Helmer may do: “Then you must testify... And I tell you this: nobody
else knew anything, I alone was responsible for the whole thing. Remember
that!”
These are two of the most important lines in the play because they
signify the whole relationship's meaning and underlying imagery. What Nora
thinks will happen when her husbands finds out is c .....

Commercials
Number of words: 400 | Number of pages: 2.... this motivates the general public to take an active part in giving back to the community in which they live in and to educate the young people in the role that they will someday inherit.

The other would be advertising a product in such a manor that it would be memorable and convincing to the general consumer. Humorous are considered to be more convincing and have more impact on the consumer’s mind. Many humorous are being geared toward the younger generations. A good illustration of this would be through .....

Antigone: Who Is The Tragic Hero?
Number of words: 624 | Number of pages: 3.... tragic hero of Antigone. They say
that his noble quality is his caring for Antigone and Ismene when thier father
was persecuted. Those who stand behind Creon also argue that Antigone never had
a true epiphany, a key element in being a tragic hero. Creon, on the other hand,
realized his mistake when Teiresias made his prophecy. He is forced to live,
knowing that three people are dead because of his ignorance, which is a
punishment worse than death.
My opinion on this debate is that Antigone is the tragic hero. She
tries to help her brother without worrying about what will happen to her. She
says, "I intend to give my broth .....

Pulp Fiction
Number of words: 1646 | Number of pages: 6.... to open the
suitcase, and when he opened it, the contents glowed a golden-orange color.
This was obviously an introductory attempt to show the audience that the
suitcase held Marcellus' soul. Perhaps Tarantino was trying to show that the
people that stole the suitcase were the devils pawns, and these two hitmen were
angels trying to retrieve stolen property.
After Vega and Winnfield had obtained their "treasure," Winnfield quoted
the Bible, specifically Ezekiel 25:17, the passage about destroying the evil
members of the society that try to harm others for no reason. Part of that
passage was "..and you will know my name is .....

Othello As A Tragedy
Number of words: 821 | Number of pages: 3.... In the first act, Othello refuses to be aroused by Iago's account of the anger of Brabantio. He knows where he stands and later on refuses to retreat before Brabantio's men: "My parts, my title, and my perfect soul shall manifest me rightly" (31-32). His acceptance of his rank makes everyone appear beneath him, and sets him up to face a tragedy.
Othello is not as flawless as expected. He thinks too highly of himself and lets his ego harm his judgement. In act three scene three, Othello says, "I'll see before I'll doubt; when I doubt, prove; And on the proof, there is no more but this, Away at once with love and jealousy!"(190-9 .....

Hamlet: Method In The Madness
Number of words: 1805 | Number of pages: 7.... evidence, while Ophelia's breakdown is quick,
but more conclusive in its precision. Shakespeare offers clear evidence
pointing to Hamlet's sanity beginning with the first scene of the play.
Hamlet begins with guards whose main importance in the play is to give
credibility to the ghost. If Hamlet were to see his father's ghost in
private, the argument for his madness would greatly improve. Yet, not one,
but three men together witness the ghost before even thinking to notify
Hamlet. As Horatio says, being the only of the guards to play a significant
role in the rest of the play, "Before my God, I might not this believe /
