Number of words: 607 | Number of pages: 3.... that very night shall Romeo bear thee to Mantua." (Act 4, Scene 1), he tells Juliet how everything will be all right. Unfortunately, for all his good intentions the play still ends in tragedy.
Friar Lawrence is a man who is not afraid to take risks when he feels it is neccesary to help someone. For example in Act 2, Scene 6, when he marries , he is risking his reputation as a Friar so he can help the two lovers. Also, when he says "Take thou this vial, being then in bed, and this distilled liquor drink though off;" (Act 4, Scene 1), he is suggesting that Juliet drink a potion so that she might feighn her own death and avoid mar .....

Portraying Robin Hood In Two Unique Films
Number of words: 549 | Number of pages: 2.... the Fox and Disney versions of Robin Hood.
Secondly, the Fox film doesn't use narration in contrast to the Disney film using an animated roaster who is a Minstrel to narrate much of the story. This changes the point of view in how the viewer interacts with the storyline in the film. In the Fox version you have to rely on the characters to tell you the story of Robin Hood. On the other hand in the Disney version of Robin Hood you can rely on the carton characters and the Minstrel to walk you through the film. These narrations in the Disney film can be seen many times throughout the film with a musical touch. Music is used in .....

Does Hamlet Have A Tragic Flaw?
Number of words: 781 | Number of pages: 3.... is intact. Hamlet has a friend, Horatio, who knows of the
murder of Hamlet's father. Hamlet could trust Horatio with his plans and
opinions. Horatio acted as an advisor to Hamlet, but he did not tell Hamlet that
he was heading in the wrong direction. Because of this Hamlet's heart pounded
hard with the thought of revenge. The flaw was there and the stage was set for
tragedy. There was no way for Hamlet to change his destiny. "Haste me to know `t,
that I, with wings as swift As meditation or the thought of love May sweep to my
revenge."
Hamlet's surrounding are increasingly affected by his flaw. Hamlet begins to
forget all import .....

Measure For Measure - Critique
Number of words: 447 | Number of pages: 2.... disguised as a friar. This moment of ironic
comedy is certainly one of the play's highlights, and is a model for many
modern humour pieces) which all serve to create a less than enthralling
afternoon of "not so high" drama. I will not attempt to explain the plot,
as one of the play's redeeming factors is the suspense created by the soap
operatic storyline. All in all,"MFM" is an average play written by an
exceptional writer, performed no more than competantly by gifted actors, on
a boring, uninteresting stage, thus we can equate : The God of Drama - less
than excellent play

"Planet Of The Apes"
Number of words: 467 | Number of pages: 2.... example of why
language is so important.
Another reason I am disputing Mr. Burrough's opinion of this movie is its
strong message concerning how humans were treated by apes. When we watched
"Planet of the Apes," we cannot fail to notice the mutes are treated. They were
beaten, battered and bruised; they were attacked and assaulted; worst of all,
they were degraded, disgraced and caged like animals. This is not how humans or
animals should be treated. Animals should be revered and respected, for we are
all God's creatures.
Finally, I disagree with Mr. Burroughs because this movie made us think
about how we may b .....

Hamlet: Essay On Act I
Number of words: 1046 | Number of pages: 4.... and fatherly advice creates an atmosphere quite different
from that of the appearance of the ghost and the problems of Hamlet and his
relatives. This creates an atmosphere of love, and betrayall, whereby Ophelia
is forced to obey her father Polonious, and is told to be careful with Hamlet,
as he is a prince, and will not look to marry just anyone, such as herself.
Shakespeare continues to develop atmosphere throughout the act, and uses the
atmosphere to introduce some of the characters in the play.
Shakespeare introduces some of the major characters in the play, and
leaves lasting impressions of each on the reader. Bernardo .....

Shakespeare And His Theater

beating of a pan to simulate thunder.
The stage itself was also remarkably versatile. Behind it were doors
for exits and entrances and a curtained booth or alcove useful for actors to
hide inside. Above the stage was a higher acting area which symbolized a porch
or balcony. This was useful in the story of Romeo and Juliet, when Romeo stood
below Juliet and told her how he loved her. In the stage floor was a trap door
which was said to lead to "hell" or a cellar, this was especially useful for
ghosts or devils who had to appear and disappear throughout the play. The stage

Hamlet: Act V-Scene 2 - The Climax
Number of words: 1119 | Number of pages: 5.... quit him with this arm? And is't not to be damn'd,
To let this canker of out nature come
In further evil?
It has been seen here a Hamlet who is still in doubt, still troubled by his
conscience; and his view should not be ignored, if only because it illustrates
once more the difficulties of interpretation. One may argue that there is no
need for Horatio to answer Hamlet's question since he has already expressed deep
shock at the latest evidence of Claudius' villainy. So the Hamlet in this scene
has resolved all doubts; there is no longer a kinda of fighting in his heart.
As the scene progress, Horatio reminds Hamlet tha .....

A Doll House: The Disadvantage Of Determinism
Number of words: 1364 | Number of pages: 5.... as she suffers as a result of her father's past; however, she does not suffer alone. This time Dr. Rank is limited by his father's history as well. Therefore, through the problems of determinism in society (gender role and hereditary determinism), one is deprived of freedom to be an individual in society.
The problem of hereditary determinism is one that certainly restricts a person from developing as an individual in society. Two characters in the play, Dr. Rank and Nora, demonstrate the lack of freedom one has as a result of hereditary determinism. Dr. Rank, for example, suffers from a physical disease passed on to him fro .....
