Cultural Write-Up On “Gone With The Wind”
Words: 784 - Pages: 3.... to see what life during those times was like. One of the theme of the film was activated when Scarlett O’Hara, the young heroine, was disgusted with the boys talking about war all the time. Her innocence and carefree nature could be seen in that scene. I was in awe with the lavish scene, beautifully costumed and photographed at the Twelve Oak’s ball and barbecue. Its magnificence suggests an idyllic culture with warming and abundant security. The major characters were one by one introduced with immeasurable boldness that draws the viewer to them. I was immediately attracted to the lighthearted and beautiful Scarlett when I first .....

The Use Of “Nature” In Shakespeare’s Macbeth
Words: 1009 - Pages: 4.... with Nature developed into spiritualism; Nature became glorified and worshiped like a deity. In Macbeth, Nature plays the role of a divinity, as significant as the role of God and religion.

The plot unfolds when Mortimer Brewster finds out about his
aunts secret after finding a present in the window seat . Mortimer panics
and runs all over trying to take care of his aunts and keep them .....
