Macbeth: Macbeth A Murderer?
Number of words: 825 | Number of pages: 3.... After committing the murder, Macbeth seems almost delirious and he says
that "...all great Neptune's ocean....hand". We can already see that he is sorry
for what he has done.
When Macbeth orders Banquo's murder, he is still in torment, but the cause of
his anguish seems to have been changed. He is afraid of Banquo, because Banquo
knows about the witches and their predictions of his(Banquo's) descendants being
kings. Banquo's death, he says, will put his mind at rest. Banquo's murder, he

Oedipus The King: Existence Of Man
Number of words: 1115 | Number of pages: 5.... the nature of man: man
cannot escape his past, pride is the sin which leads man to greater evils, and

shadow of terrible tragedy that falls across it.
All throughout literature, many works have portrayed characters who
carry with them a dark and gloomy past, and try to tear this shameful history of
their lives from the books of their life. Unfortunately, this is impossible due

determines one's future. It is one's past that makes one what he or she is today.
For example, if an indivi .....

Stand By Me: Review
Number of words: 426 | Number of pages: 2.... other type of music I found was song scoring. Since the story took place in the 50’s of 60’s, most of the songs were from that time period. They usually came at points in the movie when nothing much else was happening. Either that or it was source music coming from the radio in the car. It mostly reminded me of care free living, and growing up listening to this type of music in the car with my parents. The few examples that I have are when they are walking down the railroad tracks and there was a song in the background. Another was when the older gang was driving to find the body, and the game of chicken was being pla .....

Hamlet: Conflict Between Characters
Number of words: 812 | Number of pages: 3.... and that fills in information where information is needed. Polonius is a character in the play for just long enough to give the reader a good start with what is going on.
Polonius is the one character who communicates and interacts with every other character in the play. Retrospectively he pieces the play and the characters together to make them more understandable to the reader. Communication is what Polonius does well, but it is also what he does for his living. “I hold my duty as I hold my soul” (2.2.44) puts emphasis on his dedication to the King, but at the same time he has dedication to his daughter, Ophelia, his .....

Number of words: 1824 | Number of pages: 7.... motive which should energize back of his great deed:
The service and the loyalty I owe,
In doing it, pays itself.
But while he destroys the king's enemies, such motives work but dimly at best and are obscured in his consciousness by more vigorous urges. In the main, as we have said, his nature violently demands rewards: he fights valiantly in order that he may be reported in such terms a "valour's minion" and "Bellona's bridegroom"' he values success because it brings spectacular fame and new titles and royal favor heaped upon him in public.
