Antigone: Who Is The Strongest Tragic Figure?
Words: 773 - Pages: 3.... wanting to bury the body of Polyneices, her arrogance rapidly builds,
after committing the crime, to a point where she finds it a privilege to
die. Antigone even begins to enjoy the fact that she went against Creon’s
decree and wants all the glory to herself. She demonstrates her indulgence
in glory best in the scene where she and Ismene are sentenced to death but
Antigone will not let her sister die. We can see Antigone has hubris but
her character is not developed enough to see her display of arrogance
steadily throughout the play as we can see in Creon.
With Creon, all the characteristics in being a tragic figure become .....

Interpretation Of Ibsen's "A Doll's House"
Words: 1316 - Pages: 5.... who revels in the thought of luxuries that can now be afforded, who is become with flirtation, and engages in childlike acts of disobedience (259). This inferior role from which Nora progressed is extremely important. Ibsen in his "A Doll's House" depicts the role of women as subordinate in order to emphasize the need to reform their role in society.
Definite characteristics of the women's subordinate role in a relationship are emphasized through Nora's contradicting actions. Her infatuation with luxuries such as expensive Christmas gifts contradicts her resourcefulness in scrounging and buying cheap clothing; her defiance of Torvald by .....

The Taming Of The Shrew: Summary
Words: 1740 - Pages: 7.... Bianca, but, ironically, she could not compete with Bianca
because of these witty comebacks and caustic remarks she made (Dash 830). All
of the men who desired Bianca needed somebody to marry Kate, as it was customary
for the older daughter to be married before the young one. Finally, Petruchio
came along to court Kate, saying he wanted to marry wealthily in Padua. It
appeared, though, as if Petruchio was the kind of man who needed an opposition
in life. The shrewish Kate, who was known to have a sharp tongue, very
adequately filled his need for another powerful character in a relationship
(Kahn 419). When Petruchio began to woo Kate, .....

My Perception Of William Shakespeare's Othello
Words: 2539 - Pages: 10.... the character of Othello and what concerns me, is that Othello is able
to make such a quick transition from love to hate of Desdemona. In Act 3, Scene
3, Othello states, "If she be false, O, then heaven mocks itself! I'll not
believe 't." (lines 294-295) Yet only a couple hundred lines later he says,
"I'll tear her to pieces" (line 447) and says that his mind will never change
from the "tyrannous hate" (line 464) he now harbors. Does Othello make the
transition just because he is so successfully manipulated by Iago? Or is there
something particular about his character which makes him make this quick
change? I believe that "jealousy" is too .....

the priests. He felt that they were trying to control him. Jim was not very
receptive to authority. He hated it. Whenever, someone tries to force him
to do something he turns his back on them. This lack of respect of
authority could because of lack of male influence in his life. Jim looked
at the church as an institution rather than a home. No, I do not hold this
view on the church. I was raised in environment with personable priests.
This helped me grow with the church rather than against it.
A very controversial issue is whether drugs and alcohol are morally
wrong. Catholics believe t .....

Saint Sernin Of Toulouse And Notre Dame Of Paris
Words: 684 - Pages: 3.... the use of light.
One of the most enjoyable things about comparing the two structures of
St. Sernin and Notre Dame is that there are so many differences as far as the
particulars go, but in general the two cathedrals are very, very much alike.
Through the years, enough architectural and engineering advances had been made
to raise the ceiling to staggering new heights of over one hundred feet. The
materials remained the same as they had for years before, stone and mortar. The
basic floor plan remained the same, a cross. The nave had become longer and
more spectacular and the ceiling had been heightened due to recent discovery of
vaul .....

Is Hamlet Insane Or Not Insane? That Is The Question
Words: 1004 - Pages: 4.... his intelligence to work. He formulates a plan “to put an antic disposition on” (82) in order to move about the castle to get information about Claudius in order to avenge his father’s death. This is a truly ingenious plan in order for Hamlet to gain what he needs.
He has made believers out of those around him that he is mad (when actually is not). Polonius says to Ophelia “That [rejected love from her] hath made him mad” (94). The king, however has a different opinion that “since nor th’ exterior nor the inward man resembles that what it was. What it should be, more than his father’s death, that thus hath put him so mu .....

What Are The History, Laws, Profitability, And Responsibilities To The Consumer Of Advertising Hard Liquor On TV In The United States?
Words: 2521 - Pages: 10.... bibliography for specific information references.
History
Research by the Distilled Spirits Council of the United States (DISCUS) found
that 30 to 50 percent of Americans think that distilled spirits are being
advertised on TV. Since Prohibition the hard liquor industry voluntarily agreed
not to advertise their products, first on radio in 1936, and of TV in 1948.
However, the industry is being faced with declining sales. Their competitors
such as the beer and wine industries have grown. The sales of beer and wine
have increased dramatically, leaving the hard liquor industry behind. The main
reason for this occurrence is due to the fact .....

Julius Caesar: Difference Techniques Caesar Was Eulogized

That is, he will allow the truth to speak for itself. This encourages the crowd to believe him, as an honorable man. He says that he wants them to know the facts; "Censure me in your wisdom, and awake your senses that you may the better judge." Sharing information with the people is flattering and it almost guarantees acceptance. He gets their sympathy by saying that he loved Caesar, daring the people to find anyone who loved Caesar more. Brutus declares that he never wronged Caesar, th .....

Comparing The Murder Of Duncan In Macbeth And The Assassination Of Kennedy
Words: 1753 - Pages: 7.... because no protection provides
absolute safety, some men are still willing to do what Macbeth did, and the ac t
could still be covered up.
No amount of protection provides absolute safety. In today's world, it
is easier than ever to kill someone. Any person can buy a cheap pistol and kill
someone. It is also easier to kill without being caught. There are long range
rifles and remote control explosives that can be used as the murder weapon while
the actual perpetrator is far away. Also, it is easier than ever to find a
professional assassin who will kill anyone for the right amount of money. These
latter methods could allow a perso .....
