Hamlet's Inability To Decipher Right From Wrong
Words: 743 / Pages: 3 .... Alas, my lord, I have been so affrighted.
Polonius: With what, i’th’ name of God?
Ophelia: My lord, as I was sewing in my chamber,
Lord Hamlet, with his doublet all unbraced,
No hat upon his head, his stockings fouled,
Ungartered, and down-gyvèd to his ankle,
Pale as his shirt, his knees knocking each other,
And with a look so piteous and purport
As if he had been loosèd out of hell
To speak of horrors, he comes before me.”
According to Ophelia, his apparent condition was one of distress. I thought this section interesting because although Hamlet supposedly loves Ophelia, and his act of going through her closet was out of his .....

The Witches Are Responsible For What Happens To Macbeth
Words: 388 / Pages: 2 .... witches, who tell him
through apparitions, "Macbeth! Macbeth! Macbeth! Beware Macduff. Beware the
thane of Fife." In the following scene, we see murderers sent by Macbeth
enter Macduff's castle and slaughter both Lady Macduff and her son. The
witches are also responsible for this murder, because once again, the
witches put ideas in his head.
Although the witches can be held responsible for the murder of King Duncan,
Lady Macduff and her son, they cannot be held responsible for the murder of
Banquo. The witches only speak of Banquo when Macbeth meets with them for
the second time and Act 4, Scene 1, after Banquo has already been killed.
This murder is .....

Infomercials And Other Dishonest Commercials
Words: 1129 / Pages: 5 .... I came across the
"psychic network of friends" advertisement, just as they were offering a
"free psychic reading to first time callers" all that was required
was that a certain 1-800 number be dialed and a person could get a reading.
Then to show that the reading was accurate, they had people come on and say
that their experience with the psychic was "life changing," and that "it
was so real…the psychic knew everything." It is amazing what people will
fall for in this day and age.
Info-mercials are basically half hour commercials that attempt to
sell products to watchers. The products that most info-mercials offer are
things that are said .....

Children, TV, And Violence
Words: 2528 / Pages: 10 .... and remember television I remember
watching such programs as "Sesame Street", "Mr. Rogers", and "Scooby - Doo". I
have nothing but pleasant memories filled with happiness, peace, understanding,
and learning. When you watch children's programs today you see senseless
violence often as the first means of solving a problem. The classic view of
"good" versus "evil" is the basis of these shows with violence as the answer.
When children watch these programs they copy the actions and "morals" of these
shows depicting "good" and "evil". Children do not know what "good" is or what
"evil" is, how can they? This world is not broken into "good" and "evi .....

Words: 792 / Pages: 3 .... effective
use of devices such as symbolism, foreshadowing and allusions, as well as
building on and arguably perfecting film techniques such as continuity editing,
intercutting and close-ups, he transformed film from mere entertainment to art
and propaganda.
To present and explore a theme, symbolism is used everywhere in
literature. Whether the image is subtle or obvious it is regardless a sign of
considerable calculation and effort. In Birth of a nation Griffith places
symbols everywhere, in doing this he merges literary devices of written works
with his own visual works. For instance, the parched corn symbol in the scene
where the southern army .....

The Symbol Of Blood In Macbeth
Words: 429 / Pages: 2 .... "I'll guild the
faces of the grooms withal, for it must seem their guilt". This is another
sinister and evil reference to blood, setting up the innocent servants of
the king. Again, blood is referred to when Malcolm and Donaldbain are
discussing what to do and Malcolm says : "there's daggers in men's smiles:
the nearer in blood, the nearer bloody." Meaning that their closest
relatives are likely to kill them. Again, blood is being used to describe
treason, murder and death. In Act 5, Scene 1 - the sleepwalking scene,
while Lady Macbeth is sleepwalking, there are constant references to the
evil deeds that Macbeth and herslef have committed, most of w .....

Krapp's Last Tape: Imagery In Color
Words: 835 / Pages: 4 .... and symbolic details to support their message. In "Krapp's Last
Tape," Samuel Beckett exploits such techniques in expressing his own bleak and
pessimistic view of the world.
In his middle years of his life, Krapp retained this rigid and anal
retentive nature. He kept these tapes in which he would constantly reevaluate
his own life and try to always improve it, using these tapes as "help before
embarking on a new retrospect" (1629). He had also stored these various tapes
organized in boxes with their location written in a ledger. Yet in his latter
years, there is an apparent decay of this regimental attitude. His very
appearance is an indication .....

King Lear: Themes
Words: 1601 / Pages: 6 .... (1984) states that
there was a belief in an established hierarchy within the universe. Everything
had its own relative position beginning with Heaven, the Divine Being, and the
stars and planets which are all above. On earth the king is next, then the
nobles, on down to the peasantry. Holding the lowest position were the beggars
and lunatics and finally, the animals. Interrupting this order is unnatural.
King Lear's sin was that he disrupted this chain of being by relinquishing
his throne. By allowing his daughters and their husbands to rule the kingdom,
the natural order of things was disturbed. His notion that he can still be in
contro .....

Words: 1055 / Pages: 4 .... drug, because of it's addictiveness and it's deadliness.
The first time Willy is seen lapsing off into the past is when he
encounters Biff after arriving home. The conversation between Willy and Linda
reflects Willy's disappointment in Biff and what he has become, which is, for
the most part, a bum. After failing to deal adequately with his feelings, he
escapes into a time when things were better for his family. It is not uncommon
for one to think of better times at low points in their life in order to cheer
themselves up so that they are able to deal with the problems they encounter,
but Willy Lowman takes it one step further. His refusa .....
