Number of words: 424 | Number of pages: 2.... to mislead
him in the quest to find his father's killer. Characters of the play become
unsure of their intentions due to the odd twists of fortune that they are
dealt.
Characters in the play that were so sure of their decisions became
uncertain. This uncertainty arises when the plans of characters are somehow
altered. The alterations change the fate of many characters. Polonius was
killed in the wake of Hamlet's plan to find his father's killer. Hamlet had
no intention to kill anyone that did not deserve it. It was by chance that
Polonius was in the chamber of the queen when Hamlet arrived. Polonius hid
behind the curtain an .....

Movie Review: Sense And Sensibility
Number of words: 688 | Number of pages: 3.... there is one thing that keeps this movie constantly going is the work
of the superb actors. The talent of the actors suited the roles they played,
and their mastering of the characters bring personality and feeling to the
screen. The story of the movie bases around two of these such characters who
happen to be undergoing the same feelings of love but in strikingly different
ways. Kate Winslet plays the wild, fatally romantic Marianne who cannot control
her feelings. Opposite her is the experienced Emma Thompson who plays the
reserved, intelligent Eleanor who is far more sensitive than she ever lets on.
These two siste .....

Macbeth: Characteristics Of Macbeth That Led To His Downfall
Number of words: 443 | Number of pages: 2.... When the subject of
Macduff arrives, I don't think that he would have been so bitter towards Macbeth
if he hadn't killed his wife and children. Killing Macduff's family gains
nothing for Macbeth and tries to get at Macduff indirectly. This act of
desperation and spitefulness gives a good reason to now fear Macduff.
Also, as Macbeth took the throne, he really didn't trust anyone except his
wife, Lady Macbeth. Paranoid, due to King Duncan's murder, Macbeth let's his
delusional state of mind get to him. Therefore, from his original guilt of
murder causes Macbeth to become paranoid and kill some more. Killing Macduff's
family .....

King Lear
Number of words: 1412 | Number of pages: 6.... in her response, but I believe she was simply being honest and true.
Another mistake that was made in the course of the play was by the Earl of Gloucester. After being tricked by his bastard son, Edmund, into believing that his other son, Edgar, was plotting to kill him, he put all his faith in Edmund, which would eventually lead to his demise. Besides believing that Cordelia was being true and honest to her father, I think that Lear and the Earl of Gloucester were fools, regarding the banishments of their righteous children.
After reading this play, I found it hard to believe that Cordelia was being anything but true in her simp .....

Romeo And Juliet: They Did It To Themselves
Number of words: 736 | Number of pages: 3.... have just met hours earlier? They are children who have crushes and
plenty of melodrama to enhance it.
Romeo demonstrates his immaturity again when he slays the Capulet, Tybalt.
Being an idealist, he does not think about the consequences of his actions. He
knows that Tybalt is Juliet's cousin, and that injuring him would wreck any
chance of them getting together legitimately, yet he does it anyway. Instead of
pausing a moment and thinking about the situation in an adult manner, Romeo
allows "fire[ey'd] fury be [his] conduct…" and instantly kills Tybalt.
Although a bit more realistic than Romeo, Juliet has instances of .....

Movie Review: Into The West
Number of words: 1198 | Number of pages: 5.... and probably several points, throughout our lives. Some may be “luckier” than others when it comes to the severity of such a loss, but the key to surviving it, is how we chose to deal with it. In losing his wife Mary, John Riley lost himself. He was obviously a great man in the time she was with him; “King of all Travellers”, the youngest one ever, seemingly high-spirited, respectable, and fearless as Grandfather points out. With the loss of his wife, and the rejection of settled society toward him and his people, he loses sight of his own honor, and that which made his people, his family, and himself, great. This loss .....

Moral Law Vs. Civil Law In Antigone
Number of words: 567 | Number of pages: 3.... is what the civil law is. Polynices, the unburied, brother
of Antigone, fought against Thebes, making him undeserving of a grave
according to Creon. All that Polynices was doing was following his own
morals. He believed in the other side, whatever that may have been, and
he gave his life for it. Creon, being closed minded, lashed out before
taking the time to weight the circumstances, and being so hasty in his
decision suffered an even greater consequence than that of Antigone, in the
end. He refused to listen even after Teiresias warned him by saying, "The
sun won't run its course for many days before you have to repay a .....

Anti-Semitism In The Merchant Of Venice
Number of words: 499 | Number of pages: 2.... to having this play taught by a
teacher, who can explain the plays meaning in it's fullest so that the
students do not miss any important points from it.
Another point that may have been missed when the presentation was made
to the school board to ban the material from being taught inside the school
system was that everyone is bad in the play. The Christians portrayal was
just as bad as the Jewish man, Shylock's portrayal. In fact I think that
the play gave a worse portrayal of the Christian's because they ended up
being the most evil, through taking away everything that Shylock had and
making him become Christian. W .....
