Oedipus
Words: 1419 - Pages: 6.... cannot be altered by the
man himself. Yet, it has been the desire of man to avoid the perils that his
fate holds and thus he unceasingly attempts to thwart fate and the will of the
divine.. Within the principle of determinism, this outright contention to divine
mandate is blasphemous and considered sin. This ideal itself, and the whole
concept of determinism, is quite common in the workings of Greek and Classical
literature. A manifest example of this was the infamous Oedipus of The Theban
Plays, a man who tried to defy fate, and therefore sinned.
The logic of Oedipus' transgression is actually quite obvious, and
Oedipus' father, King .....

Words: 615 - Pages: 3.... conception of justice is too
exclusive... to be dignified by the name of love for the state" (Hathorn
59). These arguments, and many others, make many people believe the
Antigone is the rightful protagonist.
Many critics argue that Creon is the tragic hero of Antigone.
They say that his noble quality is his caring for Antigone and Ismene when
thier father was persecuted. Those who stand behind Creon also argue that
Antigone never had a true epiphany, a key element in being a tragic hero.

Metals are alloyed to enhance their chemical, mechanical, or physical properties, which can improve strength, hardness, corrosion resistance, toughness, etc. Bronze is stronger than brass or copper and is commonly composed of 90% copper, 5% tin, and 5%zinc.

The Merchant Of Venice: The Relationship Between Antonio And Bassanio
Words: 279 - Pages: 2.... likes Antonio in a romantic way and also loves Portia, a female.
Also, there is another pair who I am suspicious about. They are Salanio and
Salerio. The reason is that they are always together, just like siamese twins.
When Salanio comes, Salerio comes. When Salerio goes, Salanio goes.
Here is a famous quote by Shakespeare, ÒThe love that dares not speak its name.Ó
In the play, there are many places where Antonio expresses love for Bassanio;
for example, Òlove the world for BassanioÓ and also Ògreat affection for
BassanioÓ.This certainly appeals to me that Antonio likes Bassanio as more than
just a friend. Ã’Great affection .....

Analysis Of The Final Scenes Of Alfred Hitchcock's Notorious
Words: 1297 - Pages: 5.... analyzed, Sebastian
suggests to Alicia that she drink her coffee, and Hitchcock zooms onto the
object as she slowly takes a sip. In a later scene, Mrs. Sebastian pours the
coffee into the cup for Alicia, and sets it on a small table in front of her.
Here, Hitchcock not only zooms in on the small teacup, but heightens the sound
it makes connecting to the table, includes it in every shot possible, and shows
us not only the full coffee cup, but the empty cup as well after Alicia has
drank it. Again, the cup is zoomed in on after Alicia realizes she's being
poisoned. Because the coffee is poisoned, the coffee itself becomes a metaphor
for li .....

An Analysis Of Hamlet
Words: 1356 - Pages: 5.... Shakespeare's most complex tragedy, King Lear. Lear
has three daughters: Cordelia, who is faithful and unappreciated by Lear,

T.V. shows. For one thing the monster was not even called Frankenstein.
Victor Frankenstein was the name of the doctor who created the monstrosity.
Before the doctor created the monster he was a work of art.
"I had selected his features as beautiful. Beautiful!," this is
