.... Shakespeares play?" Yes, Franco Zeffelli's film was an improvement over Shakespeares play because he changed the dialogue a little, he made the location better, and the Tybalt and Romeo duel was action packed. I really liked the real elaborate scenery in the movie. I liked all the nice looking buildings. I also liked the scenery because it was real open and right in the center of the city. Franco Zeffelli really added a lot to the great battle scene between Romeo and Tybalt. In the actual play the fight sounded stupid and it seemed like it barely lasted a minute. In the movie the fight scene was great because it was a .....

.... they next meet they want only sex before they knew each others name. When they saw each other to be married at Friar Lawerence to be married they couldn't get off each other. The only reason Romeo went to Manteca was to sneak into Juliet's room to spend the night. People who are in love are usually friends first. Romeo and Juliet knew each other two days before they were married. when they first met they had to ask around and find out the others name. On the balcony Juliet barely knows his name and already she was talking about her “love� for Romeo. Romeo got away from his friends just to see Juliet again and he heard .....

.... turn your households rancour to pure love."(Act 2, Scene 3), he is saying that the only reason he will marry Romeo and Juliet is because he hopes that the marriage will end the hostilities between the two houses. When he says "Shall Romeo by my letters know our drift, and hither shall he come; and he and I shall watch thy waking, and that very night shall Romeo bear thee to Mantua." (Act 4, Scene 1), he tells Juliet how everything will be all right. Unfortunately, for all his good intentions the play still ends in tragedy. Friar Lawrence is a man who is not afraid to take risks when he feels it is neccesary to help someone. For ex .....

.... would merely be repulsive. But Lear does inspire fear because, like us, he is not completely upright, nor is he completely wicked. He is foolish and arrogant, it is true, but later he is also humble and compassionate. He is wrathful, but at times, patient. Because of his good qualities, we experience pity for him and feel that he does not deserve the severity of his punishment. His actions are not occasioned by any corruption or depravity in him, but by an error in judgment, which, however, does arise from a defect of character. Lear has a "tragic flaw" - egotism. It is his egotism in the first scene that causes him to make his error in judg .....

.... of the obvious similarities with one another will be discussed in this essay. From these two works, many parallels can be drawn with actual historic events. The object of this paper is to illustrate the successful joining of fact with fiction. Ben-Hur successfully told an intriguing story of a Jew falsely accused of a crime with the backdrop of the rise of Christ and the tyrannical ruling of the Roman empire in the first century of the common era. The main character, Judah Ben-Hur had many highs and lows during the story. Religion was his backbone and strength throughout the story. Ben- Hur was able to continue through hardships .....

.... they please, the artist has the right to express his or her creativity, feelings, thoughts, and perception in any artistic form they please. No subject matter is forbidden. We should support free speech not suppress it. This can however, be taken to extremes. A selection of art can be deemed as offensive to the general public. This does not mean that restrictions should be placed on it preventing people from viewing it. The taxpayers money should not go towards the presentation of such works. A large percentage of funding of the arts comes from private giving. If a minority group wishes to view such art, they should have to suppor .....

.... hatred at once for a villain who feels remorse. Whereas a character of pure evil lacks depth in that he only has one purpose; to better himself at the expense of others. Upon comparison of Edmund and Claudius' language one witnesses a stark contrast in the moral worth of each character. Although one might argue that both are cruel murderers, there still remains a large moral gap between Edmund and Claudius. The choice of language by a character often reveals insight into his character. The use of literary devices such as symbolism, irony, and double meaning all reveal more than what is literally expressed by a character. Often much of .....

.... arguments on Miller's excellent work, the focus of this theme will be on Salesman's value as a comment on society. Willy does not meet America's twentieth century economic standards of success, therefore he is seen as a failure; he absolutely will not entertain the possibility of finding a job more suitable to his talents, even though perhaps he could function as a member of society if he did; and he lives in a deluded bubble, angry, self-righteous, too proud for his own good... qualities that simply do not survive in America's production-based, time-crunch, fast-food and fast talk society. The play opens with Linda, the loving and ev .....

.... a brief picture of Roman life during the time of the First Triumvirate. In this snap shot, we see many unfortunate things. Shakespeare gives us the idea that many people try to circumvent what the future holds, such as unfortunate things, by being superstitious. Superstition seems to play a role in the basic daily life of most Roman citizens. For instance, the setting of the first scene is based upon superstition, the Feast of Lupercal. This feast is in honor of the god Pan, the queen of fertility. During this time, infertile females are supposed to be able to procreate, and fertile ones are supposed to be able to bear more. It is also .....
