.... Macbeth realizes that the “goodness� is starting to drift away. He looks at his hands and sees his guilt, the blood. The next example of evil at night is when the sleeplessness sets in and Macbeth's guilt starts to get the best of him. He slowly starts going mad because of his guilt and begins to worry. Macbeth tries to snap out of it and act normal so that nobody will suspect anything, but he gets worse. “Methought I heard a voice cry, ‘Sleep no more! Macbeth does murder sleep'� (II.ii.35-36). Macbeth's sleeplessness means the more sleep he loses, the more he is exposed to night, which is evil. The witches play a key role in .....

.... the Thane of Cawdor, these clothes were well and fit but because of his greed Macbeth had to look upon other peoples clothing, since in his way of thinking others had better clothing. From that point on his greed took over. Therefore he was driven to kill the king so he can take his clothes. “The thane of Cawdor lives. Why do you dress me in borrowed robes?� (Macbeth,1.3,108, p.12) “This means that Macbeth is always dressed in tittles that are not his.� New honours come upon him, Like our strange garments, cleave not to their mould, But with the aid of use. (Banquo,1.3,144, p.14) “This means that the idea constantly recurs that Ma .....

.... horror, and by the end of this miserably disheartening play, his fathers death is avenged, but at quite a cost. Hamlet, Claudius, Gertrude, Ophelia, Laertes, and Polonius are all dead. I would have to say that all of the adversity in hamlets life had to have a great affect on his spirit. One can not go through life, and Hamlet had a short one, lose all of the people that you love and expect it to not dishearten you a little. And in Hamlets case it pretty much drove him insane. The human spirit is a very fragile thing, and something as tragic as the death of a loved one can damage it greatly. As in Hamlets case, when his father was murdered, this star .....

.... or give into it. In Macbeth's case, he fought it and lost, and therefore, gave into it. The play makes several points about the nature of evil. One point it makes is that evil is not normal in human nature. Macbeth and Lady Macbeth have to sort of "trick" themselves into murdering Duncan. First, Lady Macbeth has to beg evil spirits to tear all human feeling from her ("...spirits / That tend on mortal thoughts..." [Act I, Scene V, Lines 41-42] "Stop up th' accessand passage to remorse / That no compunctious visitings of nature / Shake my fell purpose..."[Act I, Scene V, Lines 45-47]) and then she has to make Macbeth ignore his own conscience ("Yet do I .....

.... scenes with nice fluid shots. The shots are not jarring or rough cut. Darabont tends to take the story at a distance allowing the characters to establish their traits to the audience instead of pushing a barrage of angles at the audience. The position of the camera is intricately placed in all scenes. The movie is a perfect example of classical cinema. The most unique part about the style of the movie is in the cinematography by Roger Deakins. The whole story looks like it was filmed with a blue filter. The filters give a special beauty to the scenes, which in turn causes more dramatic feelings for the audience. With this filter the movie tends t .....

.... some prisoners go in and accept what they have done and try to make something of an already disastrous life while others give up and really don't care if they commit other crimes (inside and outside of the prison). But in all reality, the prison was home for the inmates and they made it into what it was. The demeanor of the characters creates a very unique atmosphere. The story revolves around Andy who is convicted of murdering his wife and her lover in 1946 and is sentenced to life in prison. He is sent to the Shawshank prison, the state prison in Maine which is known for its harshness. At the beginning of the movie, one does not know if Andy .....

.... was written by Lew Wallace. Both works, because of the obvious similarities with one another will be discussed in this essay. From these two works, many parallels can be drawn with actual historic events. The object of this paper is to illustrate the successful joining of fact with fiction. Ben-Hur successfully told an intriguing story of a Jew falsely accused of a crime with the backdrop of the rise of Christ and the tyrannical ruling of the Roman empire in the first century of the common era. The main character, Judah Ben-Hur had many highs and lows during the story. Religion was his backbone and strength throughout the story. Ben- Hu .....

.... fell in love with before Jocasta. And Oedipus wasn't as guilty under ancient Greek law as he is under our modern laws. It was every Greek's duty to harm his/her enemies, and as far as Oedipus knew, King Laius was an enemy. Queen Jocasta wasn't exactly guiltless, either. The great Queen had also tried with King Laius to kill their son, and had no respect for the prophecies of Apollo: "A prophet? Listen to me and learn some peace of mind: no skill in the world, nothing human can penetrate the future." She was also the other half of a mother-son marriage. Greek law considered the act, not the motive - meaning that even though she nor Oe .....

.... suspense early in the play. To convince Brutes conclusively, cassius forged letters and threw them into Brutus's window where he was sure to find them. Shakespeare wrote this statement: "we will awake him and be sure of him. This is a very powerful statement that builds suspense because the reader most likely feels that Brutes will join in and want to assassinate Caesar, yet the reader is uncertain as to whether or not the plan will work. These events are very suspenseful as they lead up to the assassination of Caesar. The next series of suspenseful events that foreshadow Caesar's assassination happen on a very unusual night. One night before .....

.... powers are, obviously, the three witches. The Witches' ability to see into the future is demonstrated when Macbeth becomes thane of Cawdor. The line, "What? Can the devil speak true?" showes Banquo's surprise at the realization of the prophecy. But, would the Witches' prophecy of Macbeth's royal promotion have come true had they not made Macbeth aware of the possibility? There was no reason to warn Macbeth of the fate in store for him, since it is most likely impossible for a person to alter their destiny. It is quite possible that the witches have no real power at all, beyond that of suggestion. They may have only planted the idea wit .....
