Romeo And Juliet: Love And Their Ends
Words: 880 - Pages: 4.... mortal enemies of the Montagues, asks Romeo to read a guest list for the Capulet party. The Montague and several others decide to crash the party. Although Romeo is reluctant to go and foreshadows his own death, he decides to set off for the party only to see Rosaline. This is ironic because he feels that he will die but he goes to the party anyway, saying,
“I fear, too early. For my mind misgives
Some consequence, yet hanging in the stars,
Shall bitterly begin his fearful date
With this night’s revels, and expire the term
Of a despised life closed in my breast
By some vile forfeit of untimely death
But He that hat the steerage .....

Analyzing Noir Films The Maltese Falcon And The Big Sleep
Words: 551 - Pages: 3.... bars in jail. During The Big Sleep, an extreme amount of shadowing constantly keeps the viewer wondering who's who. Also, translucency used on the windows of the house only allows the viewer to see a silhouette of the unidentified person on the other side of the window. Neither Marlowe nor the viewer know the mysterious person watching Marlowe through the windows. Keeping the viewer on the edge of their seat plays a key role in why these movies are so popular even though they are over 50 years old. Film noir movies might also keep attracting people because noir films are not regularly shot today for the mainstream movie theatres and .....

Tragedy In Oedipus Rex
Words: 575 - Pages: 3.... characters do. However, both of these events actually took many years
ago.
The fall from grace in Oedipus Rex is when Oedipus, Jocasta, and all the
other characters in the story realize that Oedipus actually did murder
Laius and that Jocasta is indeed his mother as well as his wife. This
occurs rather quickly, very close to the end of the play.
The audience sees this coming long before it actually does, however. In
one of the passages of Oedipus speaking with Jocasta, just about
everything is spelled out for us. Jocasta speaks of Laius leaving the
castle with just a few servants and his being killed where three roads
meet. Oedi .....

Animal Farm: Comparison Between Book And Movie
Words: 621 - Pages: 3.... of suspense for what was going to happen later on.
In the book, there was many surprises that shocked me. One of those
surprises was that Napoleon wanted Snowball ousted. Though Napoleon did not like
Snowball, the wasn't really any evidence that he would try to kill Snowball. In
the movie, Napoleon, had a bad image already. He had a mean look and shoved his
way in front when Old Major gave his speech. There was also gloomy music when
they had scenes of him. When the book showed of Napoleon as a bad guy, I was
surprised but I expected it in the movie because the movie showed him as a bad
person from the beginning.
Another detail that t .....

Moral Law Vs. Civil Law In Antigone
Words: 567 - Pages: 3.... son, Haemon, even told his father what they thought. He said,
"The people feel sorry for Antigone. They say it isn't equitable that she
must die." God spoke to her and she acted upon the support of a loved one.
She did what she did knowing would smile upon her and the dead would
welcome her.
Creon is what the civil law is. Polynices, the unburied, brother
of Antigone, fought against Thebes, making him undeserving of a grave
according to Creon. All that Polynices was doing was following his own
morals. He believed in the other side, whatever that may have been, and
he gave his life for it. Creon, being closed minded, lashed out befo .....

The Chorus Of Antigone
Words: 466 - Pages: 2.... his degradation
reaches it's climax the chorus interrupts with a song about death, how man can
control the most powerful of elements, and tame the wildest beast, yet death
still comes. He also learns through them some important things about love,
especially that it is unconquerable.
Through the chorus Creon begins to see that he is wrong and God is
superior to himself, but it takes a lot to shake his belief that a perfect
society is run by an unrelenting rule. This play also told me a lot about
humans in general, that the they aren't interested in anything but the
fulfillment of their own needs, and that they refuse to see that someth .....

Analysis Of Witches In Macbeth
Words: 364 - Pages: 2.... to the front of his mind and he thinks that he should
kill Duncan because the witches say that it is his destiny. I am sure that
Macbeth would not be as hesitant if the idea to kill Duncan came from his
head without the witches help. I say this because when you reason things
out by yourself you tend to now what is right and what is wrong, a
conscience. But with the outside influence from the witches he thinks that
that is his destiny and he must do everything to fulfill it.
What the witches say in the beginning is what influences the entire
plot. Macbeth hears these words and then tries to make them happen because
he listened to the wi .....

King Lear: Suffering

to navigate your surroundings, with all the grace of a child. This kind of
suffering could lead to suicide, and it would have, except Gloucester was blind
and couldn't see that there was no cliff to throw himself off of. His enemies
didn't want to kill him, but they already did, internally.
The internal death is the final stage of mental suffering, but there are
many stages before the one must go through to get to that last stage. Many of
these stages are shown in King Lear, as he breaks down from a powerful man to a
crazy derelict, all because of someone close to him, that he trusted, .....

killed him. All the while, an old man, Teiresias, knew that it was King Laius
that Oedipus had killed. Oedipus didn't even know that it was King Laius that he
killed. In the future, when Teiresias tries to convince Oedipus that he is the
killer, Oedipus turns him away and calls him a liar and blames it all on him:
And I'll tell you what I think:
You planned it, you had it done, you all but
Killed him with your own hands: if you had eyes,
I'd say that the crime was yours, and yours alone.
