The Walkabout
Words: 429 - Pages: 2.... I felt that the music attributed to the movie greatly. The film at times was almost easier to understand with the music. I especially thought that when the Aborigine did his ritual dancing that the music was really neat.
Some things in the film were just unexplainable. I did not understand why the father in the beginning did anything that he did. Having a picnic in the desert, shooting at the kids, committing suicide and then blowing up the car. I also thought that the oasis was quite odd. The water and fruit were there and disappeared as mysteriously as it appeared.
I really liked the part when the three of them were playing .....

The Painting Of Pygmalion And Galatea: A Sensual Embrace
Words: 775 - Pages: 3.... This warm and sensual embrace signifies the ultimate moment for the sculptor as he realizes that his creation has finally responded to his love. The telltale mallet that is lying in the foreground with bits of marble scattered close by indicates that the artist was working on his delicate sculpture when suddenly he felt her flesh tremble. Gérôme's illustration suggests that Pygmalion, after realizing Galatea was no longer a lifeless slab of stone, dropped the mallet and rushed to her side, instantaneously taking her into his arms.
It is evident that Galatea's form is no longer that of a lifeless sculpture. Her plain, ivory skin and sinu .....

The Taming Of The Shrew: An Critique
Words: 1871 - Pages: 7.... Bianca, but, ironically, she could not compete with Bianca
because of these witty comebacks and caustic remarks she made (Dash 830). All
of the men who desired Bianca needed somebody to marry Kate, as it was customary
for the older daughter to be married before the young one. Finally, Petruchio
came along to court Kate, saying he wanted to marry wealthily in Padua. It
appeared, though, as if Petruchio was the kind of man who needed an opposition
in life. The shrewish Kate, who was known to have a sharp tongue, very
adequately filled his need for another powerful character in a relationship
(Kahn 419). When Petruchio began to woo Kate, .....

As impressionists, Monet and Van Gogh brought great attention to the surface of the landscape as well as to the surface of the canvas. The viewer is completely aware that the images of are illusions. Both paintings are about impression and color sensation. However, the approaches behind these paintings are quite distinctive. As a result, the contexts of the impressions portrayed are different also.
Compositionally, Monet and Van Gogh spread their landscape onto the entire page and centralized the page with a linear perspective. Their lan .....

A Midsummer Night's Dream: Role Of Puck
Words: 474 - Pages: 2.... King of the Fairies and Titania, Queen of the
Fairies and the remaining fairies of the play, Puck does not seem to fit in as
well. While Oberon and Titania belong to the forest and the world of dainty
fairies, a small village setting seems more appropriate for Puck. He is the
type of fairy that likes to be around mortals and cause them trouble, as opposed
to other fairies. This is why Puck's little job with a love potion and a young
couple is perfect for him and he perfect for the job.
Puck is a likable character who tends to create mischief around himself.
Everything is a game to crafty little Puck. Yet once he realizes that .....

Is There Any Justification For Regarding Euripedes' Electra As An Inferior Tragedy?
Words: 2009 - Pages: 8.... unscathed, not counting for the emotional suffering and guilt they feel over their actions.
In my opinion this does not, however, make Electra an inferior tragedy as for the criminals to die would, in a sense, provide an escape from what they have done. Instead they must live with the knowledge of their crime for the rest of their lives.
The tragedy in Electra is not simply confined to the action of the play, and in the first speech the Peasant reveals to the audience that it is more of an ongoing affliction on the house of Agamemnon. In one sentence the Peasant reveals the sole reason for Electra's revenge, and the reason for this .....

Ophelia: The Forgotten Character
Words: 1526 - Pages: 6.... Hamlet is in. She probably figures his state of mind is caused by her obeying her father’s orders. For instance, Arthur Eastman states: “Hamlet vents upon Ophelia; it is his sense of outrage at Ophelia, that she could place obedience to her father before her love for him” (194). Hamlet does not understand her obedience to Polonius. Therefore, in the Nunnery Scene, Hamlet confesses to Ophelia that, “I loved you not” (3.1.117). He has too much pride and rage to confess his love for her.
In essence, “Pretty Ophelia,” as Claudius calls her, is the most innocent victim of Hamlet’s revenge. Hamlet fell in love with Opheli .....

biological mother and has children by her. " ...child of impurity,
begetter in the same seed that created my wretched self."
Oedipus does not try to defend his actions. In fact he blames
himself as quoted from the story "Light of the sun, let me look upon you no
more after today! I who first saw you the light bred of a match accursed,
and accursed ." The consequences of his actions are harsh. He stabs his
own eyes out and his wife/mother took her own life.
Justice is defined as "the abstract principle by which right and
wrong are defined." Utilizing this defini .....

Hamlet: Method In The Madness
Words: 1805 - Pages: 7.... understanding
of the relationship in Hamlet.
While Shakespeare does not directly pit Ophelia's insanity (or breakdown)
against Hamlet's madness, there is instead a clear definitiveness in
Ophelia's condition and a clear uncertainty in Hamlet's madness. Obviously,
Hamlet's character offers more evidence, while Ophelia's breakdown is quick,
but more conclusive in its precision. Shakespeare offers clear evidence
pointing to Hamlet's sanity beginning with the first scene of the play.
Hamlet begins with guards whose main importance in the play is to give
credibility to the ghost. If Hamlet were to see his father's ghost in
private, the arg .....
