.... desires', which lead him to murder the king. She takes it upon herself to pressure him and therefore, her bold character is revealed. Macbeth's intentions would have been less serious if his wife was not more anxious than he was. She, more than her husband, is to blame for the death of King Duncan, due to her relentless pursuit of power and authority. Lady Macbeth is a heartless fiend with an savage disregard for life. This is evident in the manner in which she downplays the murder of Duncan to her husband: "A little water clears us of this deed; How easy is it, then! Your constancy Hath left you unattended... .....

.... anything drastic to become king. He basically says, whatever happens, happens. When Macbeth arrives home to his wife, Lady Macbeth, she begins to play mind games with him. She does this by trying to convince him to murder Duncan. She tells him things like “If you were a real man you'd do it�. This upsets Macbeth, and he begins to think that he is actually going to do it, and eventually carries it out. What he doesn't realize is that he will later regret his actions, and wish that he could turn back time. As soon as Macbeth has killed Duncan, he seems to start to lose his mind. He just doesn't know what to do with himself. In fact .....

.... told his real parents – Laius and Jocasta that Laius would die at the hands of his own child. Out of fear, they pinned Oedipus’ ankles and handed him to a shepherd to abandon him to death. “ Jocasta: … An oracle came to Laius � (p. 17) to “…to cast upon a deserted mountain path – die.�(p. 17). But instead of killing the infant, the shepherd gave him to another shepherd who then gave Oedipus to the King Polybus of Corinth. So this poor child survived to continue his tragic destiny. As Oedipus grows up, he becomes a self-confident, intelligent, and strong willed person. That is the kind of role that is cost for him by de .....

.... believed that man’s fate has supernatural properties that are controlled or reflected by the heaven and stars: These late eclipses in the sun and moon Portend us to no good. Though the wisdom of nature can reason it thus and thus, yet nature finds itself scourged by the sequent events.

.... argue that the treatment the “ creature� received from humans pitted him against mankind into an evil and revengeful state. Shakespeare, however, in his extended metaphor comparing man to plants, holds the opinion that there is both decency and infamy in man. His opinion can be compared to the story of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson, where Dr. Jekyll is innately pure and kind but because he tries to hide the malicious side of his being, it eventually overcomes him completely. Shakespeare wishes to address the idea that evil can destroy a person and overtake them if it is let in and uses his lines of Friar Laurence a .....

.... speaking the same dialogue. Yet each portrayal displayed dissimilar costumes and music. As a result of these director's different views of war, the audience receives a different experience after viewing each film. Although both Olivier and Branagh depicted the identical Shakespearean production, the result is two very different films. In 1944, at the closing of World War II, Laurence Olivier adopted William Shakespeare's script of Henry V. Using the setting, costumes, and music in his film, Olivier presented an overall idealized view of war. The cartoon-like opening, when the field of Agincourt is shown as a grassy land against .....

.... on the battlefield. All of this changes as the play progresses. The “angel� on one of his shoulders is telling him how kind this male ruler has been to him and the country of Scotland. The little “greedy devil� on his other shoulder that wants to be King finally overcomes the “angel.� His mind finally warrants him the justification to kill King Duncan. He has deep regret for what he has done shortly thereafter. The murder of the King is the first to slowly break down his now fragile emotional state.

.... a sort of pissed off emotion when the laugh and spit at him. Then when they see his devotion to being free they were begging him to plead mercy to the King of England to see him suffer no more. When you see the close ups of William Wallace you can actually see the devotion he gave to his wife and to his country of Scotland. He holds his wife’s marriage cloth to him in his hands at all times to show it to her. He shows his devotion to his country by standing up taking the worst punishment and the scream of FREEDOM… The Queen in this scene, in the king’s chambers, is imagining the pain William is going through.

Studies show that in one week of content analysis of prime-time output on seven New York City channels, there were 3,421 acts and threats of violence observed. Children's fictional entertainment programs had three times the frequency of violent acts or threats recorded in adult programs.

.... bleeding of all colors. It signals that something fundamental has been lost forever. Saving Private Ryan is a patriotic film. How could it not be, possessed of such reverence for the suffering endured by so many soldiers in the defense of a nation? As difficult as it may be to distinguish between national pride and blind nationalism, Spielberg makes his film by insisting on visualizing an overwhelming sorrow at the loss of so much human life, and a similarly gratitude for the sacrifices that have been made. The flag in this certain frame represents everything worth fighting and living for, however, it doesn't tell the whole st .....
