William Shakespeare: Most Famous Of All English Writers
Words: 886 - Pages: 4.... positive side of love is apparent:
"Friendship is constant in all other things
Save in the office and affairs of love:
Therefore all hearts in love use their own tongues;
Let every eye negotiate itself
And trust no agent." (Shakespeare)
So let it be known, Shakespeare obviously learned a great deal about love
throughout the course of his life. He learned not only the good, but also the
bad, and in this, love plays a major role in Much Ado About Nothing (Wright 10-
13).
Another element used in Much Ado About Nothing is deceit. This deceit
involves a conflict between two brothers in which one wants to keep t .....

As You Like It: Grow Up, Oliver!
Words: 744 - Pages: 3.... who he is. When he tries to have Charles kill him,
this shows that Oliver is too much of a coward to do it himself. Another
thought that comes to mind is that it is possible that Oliver knows that
having his brother killled is unethical and wrong. Deep down I think that
Oliver has a decent heart and is aware that he should not let his envy get
the best of him. The reader may wonder why Oliver would be jealous of
Orlando. Orlando is popular and strong, and smart. Oliver is unhappy and
therefore cruel. In a monologue that Oliver addresses to the audience he
says, "Yet he's gentle, never / schooled and yet learned, full of noble
devi .....

Barbara Walters' Interview With Christopher Reeves
Words: 443 - Pages: 2.... then it was."
Now old Irish sayings might not hold true to every person. However
that could be a universal truth among those that are essentially ethical.
There is no doubt in my mind that Barbara Walters is an ethical journalist,
MOST of the time. However, in today's highly competitive world, where
Nielson ratings are god, there is no longer a place for journalistic
integrity in a profit based field. It is up to the journalist to determine
whether or not they are comfortable with what they are doing and how they
do it.
Yet the question still remains, was everything that Barbara Walters
did ethical. No. There were times in my mi .....

Movie Review: The Color Purple
Words: 242 - Pages: 1.... the original story, by Alice Walker. He slaughtered a story most
people had heard of, but never read. I thought the movie itself was rather good.
It had it's own good and bad points. Up until about when Sofia left Harpo, they
were almost identical. After that they are almost two different stories with
the same ending.
The movie was written purely for entertainment. It added a small number of
scenes, but cut more than it added. Also, it emphasized different parts of the
story than the book. The film is about a young black girl growing up in the
south, abused by, first, her father, then her husband, whom she had no choice in
marrying, a .....

Macbeth: Symbolism
Words: 496 - Pages: 2.... "Stars,
hide your fires; Let not light see my black and deep desires." (I. iv. 50-51)
demonstrates Macbeth's step toward evil. Most of the corrupt or unusual events
in Macbeth occur under a cloak of darkness. The murders, Lady Macbeth's
sleepwalking, and the appearance of the witches all take place at night. Lady
Macbeth's sleepwalking scene is the epitome of the light/darkness symbol. She
once craved the darkness but now carries a candle to dispel it. The line, "She
has light by her continually; 'tis her command." (V. i. 19), symbolizes Lady
Macbeth's fear of darkness or evil.
The image of blood plays an important role in the ev .....

A Doll's House: Theme Of Emancipation Of A Woman
Words: 781 - Pages: 3.... I couldn't
stand it" showing how he is more interested in Nora physically than emotionally.
When Nora responds by saying "Go away, Torvald! Leave me alone. I don't want
all this", Torvald asks "Aren't I your husband?". By saying this, he is
implying that one of Nora's duties as his wife is to physically pleasure him at
his command. Torvald also does not trust Nora with money, which exemplifies
Torvald's treating Nora as a child. On the rare occasion when Torvald gives
Nora some money, he is concerned that she will waste it on candy and pastry; in
modern times, this would be comparable to Macauly Culkin being given money, then

And he may just want you.” The screen goes blank again and the voice says,
“Coming soon to a theatre near you.”
You were so caught up in the moment you just now realize that the
movie was in spectacular animation. And the voice you felt strangely
familiar was James Earl Jones.
While I was reading this book I thought it would be a perfect story
line for an animated movie. So I was thought that my choice would be Todd
McFarlane. His current production is Spawn: The Cartoon on HBO. He also
has just done the animation for the video called “Do the Revolution”

Hamlet: Hamlet's Sanity
Words: 665 - Pages: 3.... kills Polonius and finally, the ghost of his
father visits him. Though at this point these situations create plenty of
reasons for Hamlet to be insane, he remains sharp and credible. “[Hamlet]
concocts this state of madness...his intellect remains clear, his discourse
sound and comprehensive,” (Harris, p. 129).
Hamlet reveals to his friends and his mother of his plans to
pretend act insane. He tells Horatio that he is going to "feign madness,"
and that if Horatio notices any strange behavior from Hamlet, it is because
he is putting on an act. (I, v). Hamlet also tells his mother that he is
not mad, "but mad in craft." (III, iv). I .....

talking . He fears that without the acceptance from Thomas, Lord Chancellor,
