.... every pocket of grime that coats our cities. They're young, articulate, and write novels that bluntly reflect the nihilism of the generation X-ers. They follow in the footsteps of the US grunge writers, inspired first by Bret Easton Ellis Less Than Zero, American Psycho. The River Ophelia was Ettler's first published novel but was written after Marilyn's Almost Terminal New York Adventure which has just been released. The River Ophelia was a 'heavy duty' novel. Confronting, repetitive and relentless in its portrayal of an obsessive, self-abusive woman called 'Justine' and her quest for love. It has been hounded as anti-feminist because .....

.... can. His noble blindness is a bad trait because he is taken advantage of easily. Cassius knows about Brutus’ love for Rome and his closeness to Caesar and he uses that in his plans. Cassius gains Brutus’ trusts as soon as he mentions the danger Rome is in if Caesar becomes king. In all actuality, the main reason Cassius uses Brutus in his plans is for an “insurance policy.� The people know Brutus’ nobility to Caesar and they will think that there was a good reason for Caesar’s assassination since Brutus was the one that committed it. Cassius declares, “Brutus shall lead the way, and we will grace his heels with the most .....

.... His main function is to be a figure who's actions are partially responsible for Othello believing that his wife is cheating on him. For example, Cassio asking for Desdemona's help leads to the two of them being seen together, which is in act three scene three line 35. In the end of the play, Cassio becomes the governor in Cyprus after the former Governor, Othello, commits suicide, in act five scene two from line 366-378, which shows another of his functions, to act as one of the means which ties up the loose ends at the end of the play. Now, Roderigo. Roderigo is a foolish, cheated, gulled, dimwit. Basically, his functi .....

.... is a sentimental, romantic film told as a flashback�, (Tim Dirks, filmsite.org). An article in Time described the film as, “boy meets girl, boy gets girl, boy loses girl�, (Stefan Kanfer, Time 1970). Oliver and Jenny met in the Radcliff library. There experience an immediate attraction for each other. They have an extraordinary relationship despite the fact that they are social opposites. Their only interference is Oliver’s father, who declares that if Oliver marries Jenny, he, (Oliver), will no longer receive the family’s money. Oliver and Jenny marry anyway, struggling for a while but then Oliver gets a great job and all .....

.... today would live. The story was set more fantasy-like. Because of the setting, the deaths of the people in this movie did not seem as moving as to the old movies. For some reason, the setting of Mercutio's death interfered with this supposedly poetic scene. A broken down stage on a sandy beach does not seem to fit well together. The setting seemed pretty artificial. Also, the scene when one of the Montagues died at the gas station did not seem as depressing as would be if any other person was to die. This scene was the opening one so, the audience could have been distracted by the dialogue and therefore, not paying attention to the de .....

.... inherent problems of the Rosas era, the director chose to show the injustices through the ordeals of Camila and Ladislao. First of all, in everyday life, Rosas demanded public showings of loyalty. Every citizen had to wear a bright red ribbon symbolizing their faith in their leader. Slaves, commoners, and even priests had to wear this ribbon. Through the execution of the bookseller, the tyranny of the Rosas regime is clear. He will tolerate to questions to his authority or allow anyone with a dissenting opinion to speak without fear of retribution. At the end of the film when the two young lovers are captured, Rosas rears his head agai .....

.... fire escape as a way in and not a way out. This can be seen when Amanda sends Laura to go to the store: Laura trips on the fire escape. This also shows that Laura's fears and emotions greatly affect her physical condition, more so than normal people. Another symbol presented deals more with Tom than any of the other characters: Tom's habit of going to the movies shows us his longing to leave the apartment and head out into the world of reality. A place where one can find adventure. And Tom, being a poet, can understand the needs of man to long for adventure and romance. But he is kept from entering reality by Amanda, who criticizes him a .....

.... the movie were substantial. In the movie there was a fight at the end, and Jerry beat Archie up. And in the book there was no two person fight. At the end of the movie Obie becomes head of the Vigils and Archie is reduced in rank. Archie get the marble in the movie but not in the book. There is no music in the book, but there is in the movie. I liked the movie better than the book. It was better because Jerry got even with Archie for once. And that in my opinion, is a better way to end a movie like the Chocolate War. I just feel that movies are more helpful. And in this case I just feel that it was much better. The book just lacked .....

.... Polonius, her brother Laertes, and Hamlet, her lover. And yet Ophelia becomes tangled in a web of madness when her loyalty is torn between Polonius and Hamlet. Most horrible of all is Ophelia's suicide-death. The emotion is evokes, coupled with the above points shows that Shakespeare's intentions was to make Ophelia, a minor character in terms of the number of lines assigned to her, into a memorable character evoking the most sympathy. To fully see Ophelia's metamorphosis, one must compare her at the beginning and at the conclusion of Hamlet. Appearing first in Act 1, Scene 3, Ophelia seems to be a spirited young girl. She is very t .....

.... Gertrude about his melancholy appearance, Hamlet says, "Seems, madam? Nay it is. I know not 'seems.'" (1.2.76). This is to say, "I am what I appear to be." Later in act I, Hamlet makes a clear statement about his state when he commits himself to revenge. In this statement the play makes an easy to follow shift. This shift consists of Hamlet giving up the role of a student and mourning son. Hamlet says, "I'll wipe away all trivial fond records, All saws of books, all forms, all pressures past, That youth and observation copied there, And thy commandment all alone shall live Within the book and volume of my brain" (1.5.99-103). .....
