.... laughing when too much gushy emotion is thrown at you through film or literature. This response stems from overexposure to such highs and our cynical view that nothing is ever perfect, and never will be. Such idealisms are ridiculed - for in our society such an optimistic view is going to be met with sarcasm, because the 'businessman's ethic' is predeminant. All this optimistic, picture perfect emotionally driven 'art' willn ot bring about success, or money, or power, things that are so superficially valued, so naturally that or thoses who exemplify it are going to be ridiculed. may be because of the value placed in our society on all things mate .....

.... that he "is too ful o' the milk of human kindness" and when she hears the Duncan will visit their castle that night, she immediately appeals to the evil spirits, to (ironically) give her the strength to kill the king. In Act 1, Scene 7, Macbeth is doubtfull of Lady Macbeth's plot to kill the king. He doesn't think that he will be able to live with the guilt of killing his king while he is staying under his very roof, and then decides that he will not kill the king. This shows that Macbeth is thinking about what he is going to do, and shows that he does feel guilt and is weighing up the situation, unlike Lady Macbeth who never thinks twice ab .....

.... three women. Caddy's role is the veritable centerpiece of The Sound and the Fury, her destruction is symbolizes the destruction of the Compson Family. Despair marked her life. In an early age she assumed the responsibility of being a mother to Benjy. "She put the bottle down and came and put her arms around me. 'You mustn't cry. Caddy's not going away. See here.' She took up the bottle and took the stopper out and held it to my nose" (The Sound and the Fury 51). A caring maternal figure to Benjy, Caddy herself was confined in the chill of solitude. As she grows older, she saw the deranged complaints of her mother and the drunken cynical father. Caddy .....

.... people decided to concentrate on immediate self survival, instead of long-term good of the group. As the self centered group grew bigger, the desire to be in the safest, most powerful group grew larger, and larger. At one point in the book, the clique was so powerful, the others were not only ousted , but they were tormented also. The tormenting eventually led to the killing of others who weren't in the group. III. CHARACTERS I believe there are two main characters in the book. One of them is Ralph, for his coolness and consideration, and another is Jack, for his leadership roll. Another reason I picked Jack and Ralph as main characters is be .....

.... is the first element that drove her to disconnect from reality, which in turn, lead to her independence. Although well intentioned, John takes away what little power she has by regulating everything she does. Charlotte is presumed to be weak, unable to cope with normal activities. She is not even allowed to write, and says that, "he hates to have me write a word." Throughout the story, he is condescending, referring to her as a "little girl" and insists that she take a room she does not like, as if she were a child. In fact, the room they stay in used to be a nursery, and has child-safe bars on the windows, making her seem even more like .....

.... as Elsa Laslow, Humphry Bogart as Rick, and Paul Henreid as Victor Laslow. Another major character was not listed as an actor in the credits at the time because he was an African-American. His name was Dooley Wilson, who played Sam, the piano player. Secondary characters were: Sydney Greenstreet as Mr. Ferrari, Peter Lorré as Ugaté, and Conrad Viedt as Major Estassa. The lighting and camera work in the movie could be described as nothing short of amazing. Because it was a black and white film, it was extremly important, because It set the mood so well. I believe that because of the filming of the movie being so close to the events in C .....

.... misguided people who simply think too much. They look at you minute by minute to see what you are doing and how u are doing it. I think more interesting than the thought police are the teaching of the morals of the land to the children. They are taught the ways of Ingsoc. They know right from wrong. One of Winston’s peers was taken away because his own daughter told the thought police on him. In this society children are at school more than they are even home. It is very possible to have a closer relationship with a teacher than with a parent. On top of that, Big Brother and the inner party teach that it is only “you and the party” .....

.... interaction between the narrator and the people in the town. This is different from the detachment the narrator has which is prevalent in the novel. The movie adequately captures the bleak and dreary mood in the novel. The camera shows the Frome household in the middle of nowhere, with no houses nearby, in the middle of winter. This, with the addition of appropriate music, creates a bleak atmosphere, and there is no doubt in the audience’s mind of an impending sense of gloom and tragedy. The darkness of the house amongst the pure white of the snow is a symbol of the darkness within the house. It shows that the people living in the house, t .....

.... about the opportunity cost, what will be missed out on. There is a strong sense of regret before the choice is even made and it lies in the knowledge that in one lifetime, it is impossible to travel down every path. In an attempt to make a decision, the traveler "looks down one as far as I could". The road that will be chosen leads to the unknown, as does any choice in life. As much he may strain his eyes to see as far the road stretches, eventually it surpasses his vision and he can never see where it is going to lead. It is the way that he chooses here that sets him off on his journey and decides where he is going. "Then took .....

.... the primary and most basic metamorphosis of this piece of literature. Kafka attempts to show the reader Samsa’s discontentment with what his feels is the lack of control in his life by spontaneous transformation of a human being into an insect. Humans are at the top of the food chain in the world, and thus are in complete control. In contrast, insects have almost no control over their own destiny because they are small, unintelligent creatures that can be squashed between a human’s thumb and forefinger or destroyed under the sole of a stepping shoe. The first instance of lack of control over his life he encounters deals with the e .....
