To Be Shakespeare, Or Not To Be Shakespeare, That Is The Question
Words: 1928 / Pages: 8 .... to the language to create your own vision of Hamlet's world. Branaugh's
world is full of lavish affairs, freezing winters, and halls of mirrors. The
use of the camera has some definite advantages and disadvantages. First, since
the characters are no longer limited by a defined space, they are able to
deliver their long speeches while being in a constant state of motion. This
occurs in the scene with the guards, and most noticeably in the scene with
Laertes and Ophelia, before he leaves for France. This same scene demonstrates
how the camera enables the characters to switch from one setting to the next, as
when Laertes, Ophelia, and Poloniu .....

Hamlet: Chivalry
Words: 1913 / Pages: 7 .... gave birth to a word almost
identical to chivalry: cavalier. Webster's defines cavalier as "a
gentlemen trained in arms and horsemanship." These are also synonymous
with knight. An interesting contradiction though is that the English
etymology of the word knight is trusted servant. This comes form the
Anglo-Saxon word "cnyht" (De La Bere 35). The idea of a knight being a
servant does not fit most people's ideas of knighthood or chivalry, but in
essence that is what a knight is. A knight's duty is always to his king.
The duality of these roles is what makes chivalry unique. (Barber 9).
So where did chivalry get its start? Many believe it st .....

Julius Caesar: The Corruption Of Power
Words: 869 / Pages: 4 .... ornaments
from Caesar’s statues as a way to prevent Caesar from becoming a tyrant and
to show their anti-Caesar sentiments. Caesar put the two men “to silence”
or to death. This showed how he did not tolerate any nonsense. He did
not like opposition or anyone questioning him, even though Flavius and
Marullus had a right to express their beliefs. Caesar also presents his
despotic attitude, when Metellus Cimber begs him to reverse his brother’s
banishment. Caesar selfishly replied that this request “might fire the
blood of ordinary men…know, Caesar doth not wrong…”. He refers to himself
in the third person, and considered his st .....

Movie Summary: “Dead Poets Society”
Words: 489 / Pages: 2 .... late. To seize the day, or Carpe Dium, one must not let anything
pass them by. In the movie, Knox Overstreet seizes the day by taking a
chance and calling Chris, the girlfriend of Chet Dannenberry, to ask her
on a date. Instead she asked him to a party.
He also taught them about the importance of conformity. He had
three of the students start marching in a circle at their own pace. After a
few minutes they all ended up going the same pace. He had them do this to
prove that one must conform with life. One must conform with life in some
ways, but still have their own independence.
One of Mr. Keating’s students, Neil Perry, thought about all he

The Instigator
Words: 830 / Pages: 4 .... Tybalt is one of
the major characters of the play, in the aspect, he is responsible for the
major turn of events, as his action turn the preceding part of the play
from a short comedy into a full-length tragedy.
On the streets of Verona, Tybalt and his subject run into their
warring counterparts, Benvolio and Mercutio, of the Montague household.
Being a peaceful man, Benvolio talks of peace, trying to stay away from any
further clashes. Nevertheless, at the sound of the word “peace” Tybalt
illustrates his animosity toward the Montagues, as he repulsively responds,
“I hate the word / As I hate hell, all Montagues, and thee” (1.1.68-69). .....

An Analysis Of A Doll's House
Words: 897 / Pages: 4 .... really are just a good faç
ade. When Nora learns this, she tells her husband, "You've never loved me,
you've only found it pleasant to be in love with me." I a lso think that
Nora perfectly describes what her marriage actually is toward the end of
the play, when she tells Torvald, "…our home has been nothing but a play-
room. I've been your doll-wife here, just as at home I was Papa's doll-
child. And the children have been my dolls in their turn. I liked it when
you came and played with me, just as they liked it when I came and played
with them. That's what our marriage has been Torvald."
I think that it is at this point that Nora's worl .....

Othello: Iago's Large Appetite For Revenge
Words: 620 / Pages: 3 .... his deeds with a passion. In the first of these monologues,
he makes his intentions perfectly clear. He implies that Othello has had an
affair with his wife by stating "I hate the moor, And it is thought abroad that
'twixt my sheets He's done my office". The irony of this statement is that in
the next line he says that he does not know it for a fact, but because he
suspects it, he will act as if for certain! This gives me the impression from
the beginning, that Iago is insane and exceedingly paranoid, going so far as to
set up a cache of murders, just on the suspicion of adultery.
Iago was also jealous of the open and loving relationship t .....

The Merchant Of Venice: The Relationship Between Antonio And Bassanio
Words: 279 / Pages: 2 .... way. Antonio is a male. Bassanio is
a male. Bassanio 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 mo .....

Movie: Disaster At Hillsborough
Words: 550 / Pages: 2 .... rear of the line were in
an acquisitive panic to get into the stadium. This pressure was recognized by
the police in the front of the line and due to poor communication nothing could
be done to stop it. A large gate "gate C" was finally opened to let off the
pressure in front. This is when the true disaster occurred. People funneled
straight onto the already full pens and created the stampede which killed the 95
people. People in the rear were in an acquisitive panic and the people in the
front who were getting crushed were in a fearful panic. The emergency gates
would open but the police, not realizing the situation, kept people in and
close .....

Hamlet: Laertes An Important Character In Play
Words: 1256 / Pages: 5 .... doing, though Laertes does have personal feelings in the matter, unlike the
true Stoic, thus his attempt is a failure, though a noble one.
As Scene Three begins, Laertes is speaking with his sister, Ophelia,
about her relationship with Hamlet, and warning her to ÒWeigh what loss your
honour may sustain,/ If with too credent ear you list his songs,Ó (1.3.29) else
she lose her virtue to Prince Hamlet. This exemplifies his loyalty and love for
his family, and especially his sister, though she replies to his warnings and
advice with the sarcastic reply to do not ÒShow me the steep and thorny way to
heaven,/ Whilst, like a puffed and reckle .....
