"King Lear" And Parallel Plot - Crucial For The Play?
Words: 786 - Pages: 3.... of which is the "parent-child relationship" conflict. Relationship
problems are very common, not only in novels but also in everyday life.
Lear starts the entire dilemma of hate and destruction by his foolish
desire for flattery. He divides his kingdom between two of his daughters
and the never ending crave for power and wealth begins. As we can assume
from the play's title, Lear and his daughters are part of the main plot.

Gloucester is portrayed also with family problems. He experiences
trouble with his two sons, Edgar and Edmund. This parallel plot that ties

Hamlet: Emotions Of Despair, Sadness, Anger, And Inner Peace
Words: 1067 - Pages: 4.... suggesting that suicide is an easy way to end
life's conflicts. But luckily he concludes that the fear of an unknown
afterlife is what keeps us living. All of Hamlet's thoughts of despair can
be understood when one looks at the horrible conflicts Hamlet goes through.
Sorrow, perhaps the most evident emotion, is very well developed
throughout the play. Initially, the only cause of Hamlet's sorrow is his
father's death. However, after reading Act 1, scene 2, we see in Hamlet's
asides that another source of his melancholy is his mother's hasty marriage
to Claudius, the new king of Denmark. Further, when Queen Gertrude asks her
son why .....

Movie: The Fan
Words: 196 - Pages: 1.... was an appalling father
and a die-hard for the game. This crazy man just wants credit for giving a Barry
Bonds-like player ( Wesley Snipes ) his number back. Unfortunately, the ‘fan'
gives Wesley his number back by killing the player who occupied the number
before him. When the baseball player's son is kidnapped by the disillusioned man,
the police held the man at gun point in the stadium. When the deranged man made
a move to open fire, the police gunned him down right on the ball field.
My attitude toward this hostile man was that he was very baneful and my
heart was lifted of many worries when he was killed. Hector gave this film .....

Race And Othello
Words: 570 - Pages: 3.... given of Othello is that of a black ram having sexual relations with Desdemona. Iago’s line reads “Even now, now, very now, an old black ram is tupping your white ewe” (1.1.88-90). Later on in the play, there are many other references to Othello's color and race. Desdemona's father, Brabantio, is appalled to learn that his daughter is having a relationship with a “sooty bosom” (2.3.27). Emilia refers to Othello as a black devil (5.2.132). This scene does not suggest that Emilia is racist in any way. She most likely was angry with Othello because he had just killed his innocent bride. However someone’s interpretation could be tha .....

Hamlet: Claudius' Conscience
Words: 758 - Pages: 3.... which goes beyond the traditional, mother-son relationship. At this point in the play, Hamlet does not know that Claudius has murdered his father, but he dislikes him anyway. Claudius is not a bad king, which is demonstrated by his handling of the situation between Young Fortinbras and Denmark, but he is not extremely popular with the people and has brought back the obnoxious custom of firing the cannons whenever the king takes a drink. Claudius' conscience, here is non-existent.
After the ghost of the dead King Hamlet tells Hamlet to avenge his murder, Hamlet has a reason to truly hate Claudius. From this point on in the play, .....

The Role Of Minor Conspirators
Words: 599 - Pages: 3.... he realized that he must convince
Caesar that he had misinterpreted his wife's dream so Caesar would go as
planned. Decius needed to make Caesar realize that his wife, the
soothsayer, and all of the omens were purely coincidental which he did by
interpreting Calpurnia's dream with a double meaning, “Your statue spouting
blood in many pipes, in which so many smiling Romans bathed, signifies that
from you great Rome shall suck reviving blood, and that great men shall
press for tinctures, stains, relics, and cognizance.” (JC. II. ii. 85-90).
Decius successfully executed his role in the conspiracy which led to the
assassination of Caesar .....

invoking their rebellion. Brutus, head of the conspiracy, also gave a good
speech, but the Romans didn't react to it. A battle erupted, and most of the
conspirators committed suicide. The styles of the two speeches were very
different from each other.
Brutus's speech was logical. It contained facts about Caesar's ambition.
He reminded the people that Caesar would have become a tyrant and would have
enslaved everyone. Brutus also explained that he didn't hate Caesar, but that
he loved Rome more. The people didn't understand, however. At one point, they
wanted to crown Brutus, who inte .....

Ansel Adams' Moon And Half Dome
Words: 693 - Pages: 3.... and a distance away from it, giving the effect of having to look up to see the whole view. One of the castings of the human mind is that when one has to look up at something, it brings on a feeling of insignificance. Another thing that gives the viewer the feeling that Half Dome is massive is the size of the moon in relation to the rock. Although it is actually small in the Earth's sky, the moon always has the influence of being great, and anything that dwarfs it can become ominous. The black and white of the photograph also assists in giving the viewer the impression that Half Dome is enormous. The darkness of the sky draws the eye to it .....
