Number of words: 1356 | Number of pages: 5.... relationship between the Earl of Gloster and his
two sons, Edmund, who is supported and approved by Gloster and betrays him,
and Edgar, who unjustly becomes a fugitive from his father's wrath. The
mirror is whole. In it we view Cordelia's reflection and see Edgar, while
Regan's and Goneril's reflections, which are of one face, show us Edmund.
In the main plot ofHamlet, Hamlet's father has been murdered.
Hamlet swears revenge, but feign's madness and delays. In the subplot, the
chamberlain, Polonius, is murdered by Hamlet. One of Polonius's children,
Laertes, swears revenge, while the other, his daughter Ophelia, goes mad.

BONGO.. Always American Made - Analysis Of Bongo Jeans Ad
Number of words: 550 | Number of pages: 2.... is one of the most
powerful images in the ad. I believe they are there to counteract the
sexual overtones and idea of risk-taking in the ad. Milk is included as if
to say, "Even though these two young people are probably going to have sex
when the game is finished, they are wholesome, good people." Milk works
much better than using soft drinks, for example. If the makers of the ad
had used cola for instance, the reader could not have really known if the
liquid in the glasses was cola, dark beer, or liquor. By using milk, the
people who produced the ad made certain that the reader could make no
mistake about what the glasses contain .....

Macbeth: Summary
Number of words: 475 | Number of pages: 2.... to kill Banquo, for he fears that the
witches prophecies about Banquo will come true too. Macbeth is scared and
confused at the second Banquet celebrating the coronation, for he sees the
ghost of Banquo sitting in his seat, everyone thinks he is mad, though Lady
Macbeth saves her husband from revealing her guilt to the guests.

Dunsaine Castle. Macbeth is later informed that Macduff has gone to England, .....

Light And Darkness Found Within The Gospel Of John And In Sophocles' Drama Antigone
Number of words: 1156 | Number of pages: 5.... through Christ's salvation.
Teiresias, the voice of fate and harbinger of truth in Sophocles' play
Antigone, humbly enters the drama by addressing the malevolent Creon and stating
that he "must walk by another's steps and see with another's eyes" (Antigone,
102). The wise prophet was metaphorically declaring that he delivered the
message of a higher truth. This truth existed as Natural Law. Teiresias advised
his monarch to choose a different course in life. His divine vision more than
compensated for his lack of physical sight, for it allowed him to walk on a wise
and virtuous path. The sage shared the knowledge and truth .....

Franco Zeffirelli And Baz Luhrmann's Romeo And Juliet
Number of words: 998 | Number of pages: 4.... illustrating
the violence occurring between the two wealthy families, the Montagues and the
Capulets. In Zeffirelli's film of "Romeo and Juliet," the prologue takes the
form of a dry narrator relating the story of the Montagues and Capulets over a
backdrop of an Italian city. For most modern viewers (especially teenagers),
the Luhrmann picture is fast-paced, keeping the spectator intrigued, while the
Zeffirelli picture is dreary and dull, an endless maze of long and boring
conversations, foreshadowed by the prologue. In Luhrmann's film, the actors,
instead of carrying swords with them, hide guns in their shirts and wield them

Oedipus Rex: Tragedy Of Fate
Number of words: 746 | Number of pages: 3.... "saves his life" by handing the
baby to someone else, so that he can be raised in another city. Further, a
drunken man in a tavern tells Oedipus about the prophecy, so he runs home to
question his parents about his fate. Instead of telling him the truth, they
give him the impression that they are in fact his biological parents.
The idea that must be pointed out here, is that once an oracle or a
prophet makes a prediction, it is destined to be and there is absolutely nothing
that can be done about it. Oedipus was highly regarded as a noble and honorable
king. However, if we explore beneath the exterior, we will discover that .....

Movie: Arsenic And Old Lace
Number of words: 246 | Number of pages: 1.... surprise , the aunts killed just as many men without the
plastic surgery , without the running , they just sat right there .
"Charge…" we hear as Teddy Brewster runs up the stairs.
This caracter brings out the most comedy in the picture. Teddy is the only
character in the movie that proves to be insane in my opinion. Any man who
thinks he is a dead president (TDR) has to have some problems.
The plot unfolds when Mortimer Brewster finds out about his
aunts secret after finding a present in the window seat . Mortimer panics
and runs all over trying to take care of his aunts and keep them safe at
the same time.

(2.1.106) After that incident, Polonius believes, that Hamlet's madness “is the
very ecstasy of love.”(2.1.115) Claudius is convinced, however, that that is
not the case. He believes that something else is troubling Hamlet. “Love? His
affections do not that way tend; Nor what he spake, though it lacked form a
little, was not like madness. there's something in his soul o'er which his
melancholy sits on brood” (3.1.176) After Hamlet kills Polonius, Gertrude
becomes completely convinced that Hamlet is “Mad as the sea and the wind when
both contend which is mightier. .....
