.... his tragic flaw. Another reason Hamlet is a classic example of Shakespearean tragedy is because it incorporates the idea of catharsis. Aristotle defined catharsis as the purging of the emotions of fear and pity. In the play, Claudius has the emotion of fear because he is afraid of Hamlet knowing that he killed his father. Claudius knows that Hamlet is capable of killing him. He knows that he cannot kill Hamlet to protect himself or to prevent the people from knowing who killed the king because the people love Hamlet too much. Claudius feels pity after he sees the "Mouse Trap" because he realizes what he had done was wrong no .....

.... each other. They have an extraordinary relationship despite the fact that they are social opposites. Their only interference is Oliver’s father, who declares that if Oliver marries Jenny, he, (Oliver), will no longer receive the family’s money. Oliver and Jenny marry anyway, struggling for a while but then Oliver gets a great job and all is well again. That is until they learn that Jenny has a fatal disease and is dying. It all ends with Jenny dying and Oliver reconciling with his father quoting what Jenny had told him once after an argument, “Love means never having to say your sorry.” This film attracted many peop .....

.... Fraiser, each appealing to different audiences, but both comedy bases for purposes of entertaining. Humor is not the only approach used in television entertainment. Shows, such as NYPD Blue, use thick plot lines and heavy drama to draw the viewer in. Entertaining society through this media has become a multibillion dollar industry. Top movies like Jurassic Park, which grossed 390 million dollars, bring millions of people to movie theater, which are basically large televisions, for the soul purpose of entertainment. Movies are not restricted only to theaters since they are available on video cassette and even broadcasted .....

.... of those around him that he is mad (when actually is not). Polonius says to Ophelia “That [rejected love from her] hath made him mad” (94). The king, however has a different opinion that “since nor th’ exterior nor the inward man resembles that what it was. What it should be, more than his father’s death, that thus hath put him so much from the understanding of himself I cannot dream of” (96). For this very reason he has requested that Hamlet’s friends from childhood, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern come to spy on Hamlet to see what is causing his madness if it not be the same reason as the king is thinking of. Ham .....

.... his quest for power. In addition, the villain usually has a gang to carry out his dastardly deeds. The gang is usually full of incompetent, but loyal thugs, who would love to destroy a small town just for the pleasure of wanton destruction. The elements of a western are very simple, but easily manipulated into a very interesting plot. Blazing Saddles contains all the elements of a stereotypical western, only with a twist. Like most westerns, Blazing Saddle has a sheriff, but he is black. African-Americans usually do not have major roles in westerns. Next, he is persuaded to save a town; even though, the citizens hate him. A .....

.... it beckons Hamlet to leave the other two and speak to it in privacy. Hamlet follows, despite the protests of the others, who fear it may be an evil spirit, disguising as King Hamlet in order to gain their trust. Horatio suggests that it may lead him astray and then "assume some other horrible form / Which might deprive your sovereignty of reason / And draw you into madness..." (I, iv, 80-82). Hamlet insists on listening to the message of the ghost. Although he does not state it, perhaps Hamlet subconsciously considers that Horatio is right, that the ghost is indeed a false messenger sent to trouble him. Hamlet does not kill Cl .....

.... a man unaware of the true nature of the situation he is in, is killed by a member of the royalty during the execution of one of their schemes. This makes Polonius’ death a tragedy. The next member of Polonius’ family to die is his daughter Ophelia. Ophelia’s death is tragic because of her complete innocence in the situation. Some may argue that Polonius deserves his fate because of his deceitfulness in dealing with Hamlet while he is mad, but Ophelia is entirely manipulated and used by Hamlet and the king for their own selfish reasons. An example of how Ophelia is used by Hamlet takes place in Act II, scene I, when .....

.... have thought about the consequences of slaying Tybalt. On one hand he filled the urge to kill the man who had killed his friend. On the other hand he killed his wife's cousin. How can one justify killing a member of their wife's family? Another consequence he should have taken into consideration was the punishment he was going to receive from Price Escalus. In act one scene one Prince Escalus already warned everyone in Verona that if anyone was caught fighting again the would pay for it with there lives. If Romeo had not gotten into the duel with Tybalt Romeo would not have been banished from Verona. When Prince Escalus .....

.... yet to avenge his father. Hamlet says " But am I Pigeon-livered and lack gall / To make oppression bitter, or ere this / I should ha' fatted all the region kites / With this slave's offal. Bloody, bawdy villain! ( Act II scene 2 page 84 line 577- 580 ). During the play Hamlet watches is uncle Claudius to see his reaction when the actors perform the murder scene. Hamlet plan works his uncle throws a fit and runs out the room, where Hamlet goes after him. When Hamlet catches up to his uncle his uncle is kneeling down praying, and Hamlet pulls out his sword and gets ready to kill him. But all the sudden Hamlet changes his mind b .....

.... might change their mind in support of the arts program. One of the biggest arguments against federal funding for the arts is that it costs too much money and that the government is already in debt too severely to provide for something as unnecessary as art. True, the government is extremely in debt, but what most people don’t know is that the NEA actually helps the economy, rather than hurt it. First of all, the amount of money spent by the government is actually relatively insignificant to its total expenditures. Cultural funding is less than one one-hundredths of one percent (.001%) of the federal government’s multi-billio .....
