... when he was attacked by the King of Norway, "assisted by that most disloyal traitor, the thane of Cawdor." Lady Macbeth convinced her husband to murder Duncan by putting his manhood and courage at stake (I,7, "When you durst do it, then you were a man;/ And to be more than what you were, you would be so much more the man"). As Macbeth started degrading he lost some bravery (IV, 1, "That I may tell pale- hearted fear it lies"). In his fight with Macduff, some of his old courage and strength returned. Macbeth could be brave when it came to action but when he started thinking he would hesitate and would have to be urged into action by his wife or by the sense of ...

... consents to the calls of the vampires and engages in a very sexual act with all three of them. Like the novel, but more so in the movie, the three vampire women are portrayed as mere objects of Jonathan Harker’s sexual fantasy. The second scene in the movie in which an elaboration was used was when Dracula lured Lucy Westenra from her house at night. In the novel, Lucy is known to be a frequent sleepwalker who at night is needed to be watched by her friend and Jonathan’s wife to be, Mina. The novel describes this particular scene through Mina’s journal. It begins with Lucy sleepwalking and Mina eventually tracking her down only to see a tall slender being hov ...

... that "only" costs "a hundred and a half." Willy will never have the satisfaction of hearing his children recite all of the capitols in the United States, his children aren't book smart.

... one can infer that he is of the darker peoples of the world. Two, Caliban is painted as the vile beast of the island. Many times throughout the text he is illustrated as an animal- less than human. He is described as a “mooncalf”1, “filth”2, and belonging to a “vile race”3. In Act II, Stephano describes him as being “on four legs”4. Trinculo curses at Caliban wishing he would get a disease only cattle can contract. These statements and comparisons seek to reemphasize Caliban’s bestiality. Stephano even refers to Caliban as a monster who could make a man a fortune if taken to star in the freak shows of England. Caliban can be interpreted as the representation for ...

... because this is the eye level of the spectator, who looks up at the Trinity and down at the tomb. The vanishing point, five feet above the floor level, pulls both views together. By doing this, an illusion of an actual structure is created. The interior volume of this 'structure' is an tension of the space that the person looking at the work is standing in. The adjustment of the spectator to the pictured space is one of the first steps in the development of illusionistic painting. Illusionistic painting fascinated many artists of the Renaissance and Baroque periods. The proportions in this painting are so numerically exact that one can actually calcu ...

... of people like the Joads, but I don't believe government programs will effect them at all. For example, the great depression was a major economical event, and it greatly effected more then just people like the Joads, but programs like the public works administration which employed people for government construction projects. Another program, the Works Progress Administration, later called the Works Projects Administration was created to develop relief programs, and to keep a person's skills. From 1935-1943, it employed 8 million people, and spent 11 billion dollars. But in 1939, there were still 9.5 million still unemployed. Another program was the Civilian ...



Representation And The Media

... each other? But yet I still feel even without words we could get the point across. We still have other ways of communicating (body movements, facial expressions, and emotions, etc.). I also agree with what was said about classifying certain things and those things leading to stereotyping. If I see a man on television that wears funny clothes, wears thick glasses, and is very unpopular, I classify this person as a "nerd". This is not a good thing to have a habit of. You can not agree, disagree, talk about, or respond to a situation, unless you were there. You absolutely have no idea of what went on or how much of the story is true. The media lets you know wha ...

Know that we have divided In three our kingdom, and `tis our fast intent To shake all cares and business from our age, Conferring them on younger strengths while we Unburdened crawl to death..." (Act I, Sc i, Ln 38-41) This gives the reader the first indication of Lear's intent to abdicate his throne. He goes on further to offer pieces of his kingdom to his daughters as a form of reward to his test of love. "Great rivals in our youngest daughter's love, Long in our court have made their amorous sojourn, And here are to be answered. Tell me, my daughters (Since now we will divest us both of rule ...

... Walker. He slaughtered a story most people had heard of, but never read. I thought the movie itself was rather good. It had it's own good and bad points. Up until about when Sofia left Harpo, they were almost identical. After that they are almost two different stories with the same ending. The movie was written purely for entertainment. It added a small number of scenes, but cut more than it added. Also, it emphasized different parts of the story than the book. The film is about a young black girl growing up in the south, abused by, first, her father, then her husband, whom she had no choice in marrying, as is the book. But in the novel, after Celie foun ...

... (I. i. 1,4) foreshadow the king's death. The imagery of light and dark continues throughout the play. "Stars, hide your fires; Let not light see my black and deep desires." (I. iv. 50-51) demonstrates Macbeth's step toward evil. Most of the corrupt or unusual events in Macbeth occur under a cloak of darkness. The murders, Lady Macbeth's sleepwalking, and the appearance of the witches all take place at night. Lady Macbeth's sleepwalking scene is the epitome of the light/darkness symbol. She once craved the darkness but now carries a candle to dispel it. The line, "She has light by her continually; 'tis her command." (V. i. 19), symbolizes Lady Macbeth's fear ...
