Hippolytus
Number of words: 1755 | Number of pages: 7.... do have
restrictions; in this case, it shows the gods cannot interfere with each
other. The gods are sometimes evil and revengeful, though, as can be seen
by what Artemis has to say about Aphrodite: "I'll wait till she loves a
mortal next time, and with this hand - with these unerring arrows I'll
punish him. "
The relationship of mankind and the gods also needs to be discussed.
This relationship seems to be a sort of give-and-take relationship, in
part. The Greeks believed that if they gave to the gods, through prayer
and sacrifices, that the gods would help them out. This is especially true
of Hippolytus and his almos .....

shown when Iago and Bianca are talking about Cassio and Othello misinterprets
them talking about Desdemona. "Ay, let her rot and perish and be damned
tonight, for she shall not live." (4:1, 200-201. Othello is planning
Desdemona's death. He appears to be very stressed out, by the way he acts and
talks. He tries to think that everything is all right but based on what he
hears from Iago, it really isn't.
Iago's many plans to destroy Othello and others work well. The

Number of words: 743 | Number of pages: 3.... lower-classmen, a good deal of them, obviously including the sayer Caesar encountered, are indeed right on the mark. Since they lack any formal office or shop, and they predict forthcomings without fee, one can see quite easily why citizens would distrust their predictions. Superstition, in general elements such as the Feast of Lupercal, as well as on a personal level such as with the sooth-sayers, is an important factor in determining the events and the outcome of Julius Caesar, a significant force throughout the entire course of the play.

Evil In Women And Its Effect On Macbeth
Number of words: 748 | Number of pages: 3.... through
with this idea by pushing Macbeth to kill Duncan. "... a very definition of the
weird sisters - calling on them to unsex her to cram her with cruelty from top
to toe..." (Bloom 29). This quote illustrates the connection between Lady
Macbeth and the witches, showing us that they both participated in Macbeth's
moral decline. Shakespeare, it seems, utilizes the symbol of the witches to
portray the basic evil inherent in Lady Macbeth. One could not have worked

her h .....

Movie Review: A Time To Kill
Number of words: 549 | Number of pages: 2.... to another town. Unfortunately, the judge (Patrick McGoohan) decides
against moving the trial. Brigance needs to get a jury of young, married men
with children. What does he get? A jury of women and old men. So Brigance has
his work cut out for him, especially when he is up against the cruel and
cheating Rufus Buckley (Kevin Spacey).
The film moves along quickly, which I wasn't expecting. The movie is 145 minutes
long, but it seems shorter than this. The book is over 500 pages, so Goldsman
had his work cut out for him. But he did a great job and made the movie more
entertaining than the book. As I said, the actors must hav .....

Charlene, on Neighbours. She was a mechanic and tomboy. This is one of the few
occasions where a soap has interrogated the cultural construction of gender and
representation of identity.
A music video is footage that accompanies a song. They can have a
storyline related to the song, displays of images or simply focusing on the
