.... I don’t know if that is a symptom of Alzheimer’s or not, but I believe the author was trying to show that he wasn’t in a right state of mind. The author explains this as too many years on the road and too much pressure to succeed. His family and friends keep referring to him as a good man, but I don’t see that. As they flashback to the past and show him with his sons he is still the obsessive man that he is in the present, it’s just in the past his sons are successful in school. The Qualities Willy tries to instill in his kids are to be well liked, and have a strong mind for business. In the past he was a great dad, but that’s because hi .....

.... between his position and the king's is that of the accompanying action to ruling. In both positions, one is a ruler who holds great power over the state. However, the king is placed in a greater place of accountability to the people. This accountability is what Creon says inspires "fear" in the king, for if affairs of state or of the people fall into decline, the king is the first person whom the citizenry look to blame. This is analogous to executive leaders throughout history, as one can see in looking at American presidents and the correlation between the present conditions and events of the nation to the public's opinion of the president, .....

.... play takes place in Europe in the nineteenth-century. During this time women were discriminated. against. This simple fact affects the whole play's outcome. A young woman by the name of Nora is under the control of her husband. He feels that he must rule her for he is the head of the family. He would place small stipulations on her such as not being able to eat macaroons. When she would make mistakes, he would refer to her by some little name like, "Lark" or "Squirrel." All of these things mentioned ar due to the setting. This caused Nora to want to leave more and more. I believe Ibsen picked this setting to tell of how women were tr .....

.... idea to use the plea of insanity to work out his plan. The important fact is that the ghost does not change form, but rather remains as the King and speaks to Hamlet rationally. There is also good reason for the ghost not to want the guards to know what he tells Hamlet, because the play could not proceed as it does if the guards heard what the ghost told Hamlet. It is the ghost of Hamlet's father who tells him, "but howsomever thou pursues this act, / Taint not thy mind. (Act 1, Scene 5, 84-5)" Later, when Hamlet sees the ghost again in his mothers room, her amazement at his madness is very convincing. But you must take into consideration the car .....

.... was no Mollie, you did not even have a feeling of suspense for what was going to happen later on. In the book, there was many surprises that shocked me.

When the book showed of Napoleon as a bad guy, I was surprised but I expected it in the movie because the movie showed him as a bad person fro .....
