King Lear: Suffering
Number of words: 473 | Number of pages: 2.... to kill him, but they already did, internally.
The internal death is the final stage of mental suffering, but there are
many stages before the one must go through to get to that last stage. Many of
these stages are shown in King Lear, as he breaks down from a powerful man to a
crazy derelict, all because of someone close to him, that he trusted, stabbed
him in the back. The family is part of your environment and so is the weather.
A storm can be a gusting hurricane or a conflict with your sister. Both
conflicts cause damage, and the damage may or may not be repairable. In the
case of King Lear, his mental state diminished rath .....

Macbeth: Blood
Number of words: 879 | Number of pages: 4.... symbol of blood now changes to
show a theme of treachery and treason. Lady Macbeth starts this off when she
asks the spirits to "make thick my blood,". What she is saying by this, is that
she wants to make herself insensitive and remorseless for the deeds which she is
about to commit. Lady Macbeth knows that the evidence of blood is a treacherous
symbol, and knows it will deflect the guilt from her and Macbeth to the servants
when she says "smear the sleepy grooms with blood.", and "If he do bleed, I'll
gild the faces of the grooms withal, for it must seem their guilt." When Banquo
states "and question this most bloody piece .....

The Tempest: Drunk And More Drunk
Number of words: 516 | Number of pages: 2.... because it shows us how incredibly foolish we act when we are drunk.
Of course their attempt to take on Prospero proves to be futile, instead
they play dress up with his cloaks and when Prospero shows up, Stephano and
Trinculo run for their lives and leave Calaban behind carrying the clothes
they attempted to steal.
Trinculo and Stephano were also quite amusing by being drunk
throughout the entire story, they even stated that they wouldn't drink
anything else until the wine ran out. "Tell not me. When the butt is out,
we will drink a drop of water, not a drop before."(Tempest 288)
Trinculo and Stephano also cont .....

Number of words: 1220 | Number of pages: 5.... with such closeness and
bond; he calls her his "dearest chuck", his "partner of greatness". She knows
that he is too weak to do anything and states her position in the murder "leave
the rest to me".
In Act 1, Scene 7 establishes the force and power that Lady Macbeth posseses
over her husband. Upon hearing of Macbeth's decision not to kill Duncan, she is
outraged and starts to work her force and power upon him. She knows where he is
most vulnerable and attacks him at his weak spot. She strikes him at his manhood
and courage. This of course works on Macbeth and she knows that it will. No one
calls Macbeth a coward. She says .....

Hope Floats Video Review
Number of words: 860 | Number of pages: 4.... in shining armor. He was more like a Don Juan with only his self in mind. He was mostly out of the picture which showed what kind of person he was. He never even came to see his own daughter until the little girl’s grandmother died. He only came then to ask Birdie for a divorce. Great timing! Not! But it showed his selfish nature. He left his daughter crying her eyes out because he refused to take her with him. He wanted to be alone with his soon to be new wife. What a dad! Unfortunately, this is true to life, it is the children who suffer when adults go astray.
Birdie’s suitor was played by Harry Conick Jr. He .....

The Role Of Duty In William Shakespeare's Hamlet
Number of words: 826 | Number of pages: 4.... an actor who easily displays intense emotion
and passion on matters that have just come to his head. Hamlet asks
himself in the soliloquy that followed if he was a coward for not
completing his task yet. This makes it obvious that killing Claudius isn't
something that Hamlet wants to do. Hamlet is so weary of killing his uncle
that he questions the intentions of the ghost. It was said earlier in the
play that the ghost may only be the devil in a pleasing form. Hamlet
decides to test his uncle's guilt by reenacting the murder in a play that
is to be performed, thus delaying the execution, and proving once again
that Hamlet does .....

Power Of One
Number of words: 344 | Number of pages: 2.... public does
not appreciate.
I believe this ending is not realistic as Pk loses his greatest love(or
so they make us believe in the movie) dies and he does not care and continues
to fight the “bad guys”, not thinking about her ever again in the movie. Same
thing with his boxer friend, who just continues to live on like nothing ever
happened.
I already stated above what should have been done to make this a more
realistic ending. The boxer should have crushed psychologically and should have
dropped all activities against the governement. Same thing with Pk.
I have tried to explain what was wrong with this mov .....

The Different Kinds Of Advertisements
Number of words: 1058 | Number of pages: 4.... you can ask about this advertisement by
just looking at it because they don't show a lot of things in it. For
example, how do we know that the girls are wearing this kind of make-up?
Just because it said what kind of make-up and the names of each girl in the
corner, doesn't mean that they are actually wearing it. Although since it
does say there names it makes it a little more believable. Showing the
girls names actually makes them seem more like a regular person then just
someone in a magazine. Another thing is, how do we know if this is really
clean make-up? Just because it shows the girls outside doesn't mean that it
won't c .....

Role Of Fate And Free Will In Oedipus Rex
Number of words: 761 | Number of pages: 3.... man could strike off in a new direction at any time by making a choice, his actions would still inevitably lead to his fate. In short, one’s choices affected little more than the where and when of one’s predetermined destiny, but due to the fact that the individual possessed the freedom of choice, the Greeks believed that he bore all responsibility for his actions, and ultimately for the realization of his fate, as well. Equipped with this knowledge of the ancient Greek concept of fatalism and free will, it becomes easier to understand the role of fate in Oedipus’ misfortune. Oedipus’ misfortune was not entirely the .....
