Hamlet: Spying
Words: 1227 / Pages: 5 .... This gives Hamlet two good reasons to kill Claudius. First, he hated the fact that his uncle married his mother in just a few months after his dad died. Second, his father's ghost wants revenge on Claudius. Most of the time Hamlet does his own spying. He tries to force Ophelia to give him information, but she ends up lying to him in ACT III Scene i.
Hamlet: Get thee to a nunnery. Why wouldst thou be a
breeder of sinners? I am myself indifferent honest, but
yet I could accuse me of such things that it were
better my mother had not borne me: I am very proud,
revengeful, ambitious, with more offenses at my beck
that I have thoughts to put them .....

Hamlet: Notes
Words: 2954 / Pages: 11 .... compact
Well satisfied by law and heraldry
Did forfeit, with his life all those lands
Through the late King actions of law and rebellion during his
time. 5. We are made aware of the uncertain foundation of human
knowledge in the way we learn that the ghost may be a dream,
or could just be around for some unfinished business. We
also learn that Horatio is a scholar and trusted by Marcellus
and Bernardo. He serves as a reliable witness and conveyor
for Hamlet. Even scholars don't understand the unknown
(ghost).

Does Michelangelo'S Talent Still Reflect After The Restorations In The Sistine Chapel?
Words: 465 / Pages: 2 .... before?
Seeing how the restorations were done at the end of the video was alot better than the methods of restoring had been. Removing all of the glue and varnish from the past was a good idea and then patching up the areas that needed it and doing it consistantly and using the same style he does makes the paintings reveal Michelangelo's talent and the charactaristics of his characters. Marking and bringing it to attention which areas had the restorations applied to is a very good idea.
I think that by going about trying to get these portraits back to their original style was not only an appreciative thing to do but it also gained us knowledge of .....

Difference Between Plutarch's And Shakespeare's Caesar
Words: 369 / Pages: 2 .... him a more sensitive reaction to the dream in
saying, "Caesar himself, it seems was affected and by no means easy in his
mind."
Moreover, Plutarch's writings show the long string of coincidences
almost as Fate were deeming it necessary for him to die, and that he had no
control over it. "...the scene of the final struggle and of the assassination
made it perfectly clear that some heavenly power was involved...directing that
it" (the assassination) "should take place just here. For here stood a statue of
Pompey..." This stating that Caesar's murder was the deceased Pompey's revenge
for he was killed by Caesar. Whereas, Shakespeare does not say anythin .....

Words: 413 / Pages: 2 .... French Romantic landscape painter, Camille Corot.” One of Corots one of the landscape paintings, which is alike to Gericault’s is “View of Rome: The Bridge and Castel San’t Angelo with Cupola Of St. Peters. Corot, throughout the course of a two-year trip in Italy, where he scouted the countryside of around Rome, painted many of his landscapes.
Romantics focused on nature, but for Gericault this was true, but he also understood a romantic had to go to “extraordinary lengths in trying to achieve a maximum of authenticity” (Janson, 431-36). We see this example in his own painting “Evening: Landscape with an Aqueduct,” which was part of .....

Sleepless In Seattle
Words: 287 / Pages: 2 .... When exiting a movie,
I hope that I feel this way. Today, paying large sums of money for each visit to
the theater is tough to keep up. The audience expects an extra special
performance each and every visit. I want to feel good as I leave. This satisfies
my willingness to put out a large expence for this type of entertainment.
When I left "Sleepless in Seattle", I was in heaven. I had the feeling I
wanted. They movie brought me that "believer" feeling. I feel that the purpose
of this movie was to show the audience that fate is alive and well. I was shown
that there is someone out there for each and every one of us. I went to the
movies with fa .....

Much Ado About Nothing: Pretense
Words: 1233 / Pages: 5 .... models a small world after society. In it everyone and everything is just as he sees it - a façade. Shakespeare captures this theme in "Much Ado About nothing" because pretending is something people often do whether it is positive or negative. The idea of acting and the illusion it creates is rarely far from the surface. Do we ever undeniably know the truth about someone, a situation or ourselves?
In "Much Ado About Nothing", everyone is pretentious. Don Pedro deceives Hero by acting the part of an honest friend, concerned for his brother and Claudio's honour. Leonato and his family act as if Hero were dead, encouraged to this deception b .....

Contrast Essay: Romeo And Juliet
Words: 885 / Pages: 4 .... intelligent thing to say.
Whereas, in the movie they kiss and giggle the entire time. This leads the
viewer to believe that Franco Zefferelli wanted the two to look like fools, that
they could not do anything the way it is normally done because they are children
in search of quick love. This is bad because it is not very realistic. In
real-life, young adults would take the matter seriously because they know it is
a major step in life. Because the play is not entirely trying to make the two
look bad, it is the better production.
Another major difference in the mood of the play and the movie is in the funeral
scene. The funeral scene of the play i .....

My Perception Of William Shakespeare's Othello
Words: 2539 / Pages: 10 .... in the minds of the reader. The way I
percieve the character of Othello and what concerns me, is that Othello is able
to make such a quick transition from love to hate of Desdemona. In Act 3, Scene
3, Othello states, "If she be false, O, then heaven mocks itself! I'll not
believe 't." (lines 294-295) Yet only a couple hundred lines later he says,
"I'll tear her to pieces" (line 447) and says that his mind will never change
from the "tyrannous hate" (line 464) he now harbors. Does Othello make the
transition just because he is so successfully manipulated by Iago? Or is there
something particular about his character which makes him make this quick
ch .....

MacBeth - Tragic Hero
Words: 495 / Pages: 2 .... this aroused Macbeth's curiosity of how he could be King of Scotland. As the play progresses, Macbeth slowly relies on the witches prophecies. Shakespeare uses the witches as a remedy for Macbeth's curiosity which corrupts his character.
The influence of Macbeth's wife, Lady Macbeth also contributed to his degeneration of character. Lady Macbeth's character in the beginning reveals that she is a lovable person. When Lady Macbeth was ready to kill King Duncan herself, it showed that Lady Macbeth could not murder King Duncan because he reminded her of her father. This proves that Lady Macbeth has a heart deep inside her. Lady Macbeth pla .....
