.... goes beyond him. The tragic hero also takes the action that produces the suffering and calamity which leads to death. Other characteristics of a tragic hero are as follows. The tragic hero is a person who is of high degree, and his welfare is intimately tied up with the welfare of the state. The hero is an exceptional being, of high degree, whose actions and sufferings are of an unusual kind, who possesses and exceptional nature.

.... things made L’Atalante almost bearable, I didn’t especially like it. Breathless, on the other hand, held my interest. There was a definite plot as well as plenty of action and romance. I also enjoyed it because I had the feeling that everything I would need to know about the characters was revealed from the beginning. This film had a much more “stylized” mise-en-scene than L’Atalante. Some aspects of the mise-en-scene that caught my attention were the costuming and acting styles. The Bogart-esque costuming and mannerisms of Michel aided in explaining his character. Even though the film makers seemingly wanted the aud .....

.... While the language that she used was different, Nell still gave a good list of very abstract ideas that someone who is mentally retarded could not possibly comprehend. Nell understood why she was different saying that she was raised in a small world and knew small things unlike the large things found in the city of Charlotte, N.C. This proved that Nell was very capable of living by herself and taking care of herself. 3) The experts, in the beginning of the movie, said that Nell was not capable of making the correct judgments to make in the world by herself. They did not believe that Nell had the wisdom to make the correct ch .....

.... its origin, 60 Minutes has continued to adhere to the same formula that made it such a success. The hidden-camera interviews, the surprising of unsuspecting alleged crooks with a bombardment of questions, the longevity of the featured reporters, all of these are what made 60 Minutes a success--finishing in the top 10 Nielson ratings for 17 consecutive seasons and counting. Other than the fact that it changed from black-and-white to color with the new technology, the appearance of 60 Minutes has remained consistent. There is no reason to change a thing about such a prosperous show according to Hewitt. Not only has the form .....

.... the fight with Laertes in Ophelia's grave, but he tells her that he never loved her, when she returns his letters and gifts, while she was still alive.

To do this he must destroy all the current feelings Ophelia has for hi .....

.... evil. Banquo is skeptical of the witches, and tries to warn his friend, who seems to accept what they say. Without this supernatural prophesy, the thought of killing the king would have never crossed Macbeth's mind. The thought is then reinforced when Macbeth learns that he is Thane of Cawdor, as the witches foretold (I,iii). Now that Macbeth has the thought of becoming king inside of him, his is still not capable of killing Duncan. His morality keeps him from performing any such task. He is also fully aware of the destructive power of his ambitions. In act I, scene vii, he even tells us: I have no spur To prick the si .....

.... Hamlet appears and tells his son Claudius killed him by pouring poison in his ear, Hamlet does not act upon the word of the specter. He takes time to think about what the apparition told him. He contemplates whether it is a good ghost or a bad ghost. He plans things out; analyses situations. When the actors came to town, Hamlet implores one of them, "Dost thou hear me old friend? Can you play The Murder of Gonzago?" (88) The player agrees that he can indeed perform the play. "We'll ha't tomorrow night. You could for a need study a speech of some dozen or sixteen lines which I could set down and insert in't, could you not .....

.... It is also easier to kill without being caught. There are long range rifles and remote control explosives that can be used as the murder weapon while the actual perpetrator is far away. Also, it is easier than ever to find a professional assassin who will kill anyone for the right amount of money. These latter methods could allow a person to commit murder and easily get away with it. Even though the actual murderer may be caught, the person financing the operation could get away untouched. In Macbeth, Duncan was well protected by his guards. However, he was still murdered. The guards were overcome through a simple tri .....

.... one might argue that both are cruel murderers, there still remains a large moral gap between Edmund and Claudius. The choice of language by a character often reveals insight into his character. The use of literary devices such as symbolism, irony, and double meaning all reveal more than what is literally expressed by a character. Often much of a character's speech is expressed while in the presence of other characters; the presence of others often influences the content of the villain's speech. A character planning to kill another man will not express ill feelings towards that man so that he may seem innocent. Villains, as suc .....

.... in the woods is clearly revealed. The irresponsible accusations have resulted in the deaths of twenty people. But later on in the story the truth comes back to haunt them because they are the ones who end up being accused for witchcraft. I mentioned in line 23 of my poem, sooner or later the truth will come out and you have to be ready to confront it. She tried to cover it but the lies continued to pile up until she could no longer cover them and she was caught in her own lie. In Act II John Proctor tries to make Mary Warren go to court to declare that Abigail is a liar, but she warns him that Abigail will accuse him . Throug .....
