Papers on Arts, Movies, and Plays
The Tempest. An Imperialist Heaven Or Hell?
Number of words: 1204 | Number of pages: 5.... Prospero brought his “new” ideas with him, and began to force them
upon these two savages, Sycorax and Caliban. He believed that his new ideas were
better, such as slavery opposed to freedom, which he imposed on Caliban.
“Dull thing, I say so; he, that Caliban,
Whom now I keep in my service.”
(Act. I, Sc. II, Ln. 285,6)
This view of whose ideas were better is an obvious matter of opinion, one of
the biggest drawbacks to transforming old ideas into new.
Prospero was the first male that Caliban had seen in his life. As a “
lower being” Caliban worshipped and praised Prospero, as .....

My Perception Of William Shakespeare's Othello
Number of words: 2539 | Number of pages: 10.... tear her to pieces" (line 447) and says that his mind will never change
from the "tyrannous hate" (line 464) he now harbors. Does Othello make the
transition just because he is so successfully manipulated by Iago? Or is there
something particular about his character which makes him make this quick
change? I believe that "jealousy" is too simple of a term to describe Othello.
I think that Othello's rapid change from love to hate for Desdemona is fostered
partly by an inferiority complex. He appears to be insecure in his love for
Desdemona (as well as in his position in Venetian society). Othello's race and
age ("Haply, for .....

Number of words: 430 | Number of pages: 2.... the doctor created the monster he was a work of art.
"I had selected his features as beautiful. Beautiful!," this is
what Victor said when he saw the monster before it was alive. Afterwards
it was the ugliest thing the doctor had laid his eyes upon. Unlike the
movies, the monster was very nimble and could do anything an actual living
human could. The monster chased after Victor in the wastelands to exact
his revenge for his being. Nobody would love or care for him so he decided
to kill Victor as an act of revenge.

Hamlet: Emotions Of Despair, Sadness, Anger, And Inner Peace
Number of words: 1067 | Number of pages: 4.... evident emotion, is very well developed
throughout the play. Initially, the only cause of Hamlet's sorrow is his
father's death. However, after reading Act 1, scene 2, we see in Hamlet's
asides that another source of his melancholy is his mother's hasty marriage
to Claudius, the new king of Denmark. Further, when Queen Gertrude asks her
son why his father's death "seems" so important, he replies, "Seems, madam?
Nay it is. I know not 'seems'." In addition, Shakespeare reveals another
source of sadness; now Hamlet is alone, with the most loved character in
his life, Ophelia, rejecting him. This cause is well brought out in
Hamlet's .....

Macbeth: The Use Of The Classical Tragic Mold In Character Development
Number of words: 674 | Number of pages: 3.... But, even long before then, the next step in the
mold had begun: the descent into the abyss.
The "decent into the abyss" is the second step in the Classical
Tragic Mold. It is started with Macbeth's second soliloquy. This is after
Macbeth hears from Duncan that Malcolm was to be named the Prince of
Cumberland. "The Prince of Cumberland! That is a step on which I must fall
down, or else o'erleap, for in my way it lies ... Let not light see my
black and deep desires." (Shakespeare, 281). This quote from the soliloquy
indicates that Macbeth has, indeed, told himself that he will commit the
murder of Duncan, although he doesn't .....

Essay On The Movie "Lord Of The Flies"
Number of words: 385 | Number of pages: 2.... would have looked neater since a lot of
killing was shot. If the movie was coloured the audience would focus on the
screen often, rather than seeing a black and white screen.
The settings and the props were not prepared well. My first example is that the
boys shirts, were clean everyday. Their clothes should be black and grey,
because of the dirt and all the smoke from the fire. For example Simons' shirt
was a clean as white, when Simon was watching the other boys spill blood out of
the pig. The island was to big, as the book describes it. There was no platform,
and scar as described in the book.
In conclusion, you sh .....
