The Simpsons
Words: 2330 - Pages: 9.... Hell, a humorous comic strip consisting of people with rabbit ears. The LA Reader picked up a copy of his comic strip and liked what they saw. Life in Hell gradually became a common comic strip in many free weekly and college newspapers across the country. It even developed a cult status (Varhola, 50).
Life in Hell drew the attention of James L. Brooks, producer of such works as Taxi, The Mary Tyler Show, and Terms of Endearment. Brooks originally wanted Groening to make an animated pilot of Life in Hell. Groening chose not to do so in fear of loosing royalties from papers that printed the strip.

The Use Of Symbols In Macbeth
Words: 451 - Pages: 2.... and is used in this regard in many literary pieces. In
fact, even in the bible, Pontious Pilate washed his hands in water after
sentencing Jesus to be crucified. However, Macbeth mentions that all of the
water in the sea would turn red from the blood on his hands; which leads me to
the conclusion that blood was a much more powerful symbol than water in this
play.
In Macbeth, light and dark was used in a classic sense. Light
symbolized all that is good, and it is no coincidence that when a scene included
Banquo or another of the innocent victims in this play, the setting was bright.
On the other hand, when a scene involved murder or the s .....

Macbeth: The Symbol Of Blood
Words: 879 - Pages: 4.... brave fighter who been injured in a valiant battle for his country. In the
next passage, in which the sergeant says "Which smok'd with bloody execution",
he is referring to Macbeth's braveness in which his sword is covered in the hot
blood of the enemy.
After these few references to honour, the symbol of blood now changes to
show a theme of treachery and treason. Lady Macbeth starts this off when she
asks the spirits to "make thick my blood,". What she is saying by this, is that
she wants to make herself insensitive and remorseless for the deeds which she is
about to commit. Lady Macbeth knows that the evidence of blood is a treach .....

Othello: Act 5 Analysis
Words: 327 - Pages: 2.... the death of Desdemona and Cassio. This part also appears
important to Iago because he is finally made lieutenant.
Othello changes dramatically when he hears all these lies from Iago.
He is now less patient. He hurries through many decisions to be made. Such as
the one to kill his wife. He also jumps to conclusions too quickly. This is
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

Hamlet - The "Real" Tragedy
Words: 901 - Pages: 4.... loyalty that eventually proves to be fatal for him. An example of hoe Polonius’ innocent involvement with the royalty results in his death can be found at the beginning of Act III, scene iv, when Hamlet stabs him while he is hiding behind the arras in Gertude’s room. This shows how Polonius, 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 a .....

Macbeth: The Main Theme Of Evil
Words: 1010 - Pages: 4.... lost, and therefore, gave into
it. The play makes several points about the nature of evil. One point it makes
is that evil is not normal in human nature. Macbeth and Lady Macbeth have to
sort of "trick" themselves into murdering Duncan. First, Lady Macbeth has to beg
evil spirits to tear all human feeling from her ("...spirits / That tend on
mortal thoughts..." [Act I, Scene V, Lines 41-42] "Stop up th' accessand passage
to remorse / That no compunctious visitings of nature / Shake my fell
purpose..."[Act I, Scene V, Lines 45-47]) and then she has to make Macbeth
ignore his own conscience ("Yet do I fear thy nature; It is too full o' th' .....

Julius Caesar

may also be looked upon as superstitious. In the opening scene, one sooth-
sayer, old in his years, warns Caesar to "Beware the Ides of March," an
admonition of Caesar's impending death. Although sooth-sayers are looked
upon by many as insane out of touch 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 .....

The other type of work that is shown in the movie is the educated type of work. In this paragraph, I will show how the movie portrays educated work. Educated work is the work of scholars, people who have graduated college, the educated people. These people will have the best jobs, the biggest houses, and the nicest things.
