Summertime Blues
Words: 672 - Pages: 3.... no one is quite sure of the woman's identity. An expert on Shakespearian sonnets, Katherine Duncan-Jones, states "one sixth of the sonnets are addressed to the dark lady-and these can be seen as brutally defiant of Petrarchanism, yet the history of criticism is strewn with failed attempts to determine the identity of this mystery woman" (Hadfield).

Trifles By Susan Glaspell
Words: 461 - Pages: 2.... The men viewed the house as inadequately taken care of due to broken jars of preserves or discovering dirty towels. All the men notice is clutter. The men do not look deeper behind the meanings of this disarray. However, the women do.

The women reason that the uncaring concern John had for Minnie and the attention he paid to the house perhaps forced Minnie to resort to killing. Even the County .....

A Clockwork Orange 2
Words: 538 - Pages: 2.... each of his phases into maturity represents a part of us.
His youth is characterized as that of a rapist, practitioner of extremely violent acts, and a lover of Beethoven. These three adjectives point out what drives Alex’s actions: emotion. He follows no moral code nor does he even have one. However, he does follow his natural desire to sin, and can thus be described as a clockwork orange in that his actions are controlled by his emotion. We can clearly see how Alex’s inclination to do things that satisfy his emotion are strikingly similar to our desires to do the things that we want to do. This is the whole message behi .....

Hamlet - Act 2 Summary
Words: 306 - Pages: 2.... Now, I wonder if it wasn't a phantom sent from hell to lure me into killing my mother's lover and king. If true, I would never be able to live with myself, for that would be a horrible deed, done wrong. Yet, I cannot just dismiss this apparition, so I will carry out my plan.
I have decided, that with the help of the players and a little improvising on my part with the script they will read, to check on Claudius' conscience. They shall perform a play in which the king is slain and shall watch my new king very closely, for if he so much as flinches I can be sure that the ghost has spake the truth. With that confirmation, I shall begin constru .....

The Yellow Wallpaper 5
Words: 1541 - Pages: 6.... accepting the norms and roles of society and thus repressing one’s true desires and feelings can only lead to a loss of identity and sanity.

Just as important as the tiny details of the park that were overlooked, if not more important, was the technical failures associated with human stupidity. When the park was designed the humans controlling this obviously didn't consider that there could be problems in the sys .....
