Macbeth: Theme Of Night Vs Day And Evilness
... could not
I pronounce ‘Amen'?” (II.ii.31). 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.

Hamlet: Claudius' Conscience
... hasty marriage of Claudius and is angered by this incest. Hamlet has a deep attraction for his mother which goes beyond the traditional, mother-son relationship. At this point in the play, Hamlet does not know that Claudius has murdered his father, but he dislikes him anyway. Claudius is not a bad king, which is demonstrated by his handling of the situation between Young Fortinbras and Denmark, but he is not extremely popular with the people and has brought back the obnoxious custom of firing the cannons whenever the king takes a drink. Claudius' conscience, here is non-existent.
After the ghost of the dead King Hamlet tells Hamlet to avenge his murder, Ha ...

Hamlet's Odd Behavior
... desire to kill King Claudius is driven by his fathers’ demand for revenge. If this were true, Hamlet would kill Claudius the moment he has the chance, if not the moment he knows for sure that Claudius is guilty of murdering his father. Why does Hamlet hesitate? One must call into question what Hamlet holds to be true. If Hamlet’s given motivation for killing the king is legitimate, then Claudius should die at about Act 3. Because Hamlet’s actions do not correspond with his given reasoning, one is forced to look for an alternate explanation for Hamlet’s behavior. In doing so, one will come to the conclusion that Hamlet is driven by forces other than what is obvious ...

Romeo + Juliet: An E Ticket Ride
... Shakespeare fun,
interesting, fresh and easy.
Visually dynamic, and edited with a sense of urgency, most movie-goers will
get caught up in the story and forget that they are listening to the Bard. It
is Shakespeare's words and text, however, the sights and sounds are as clearly,
possibly overshadowing, telling the same parallel story. One could say that
there are visually emotional subtitles throughout the movie directing the
audience to understand and engage in the most famous love story in an entirely
new way. One can argue that this version of Romeo and Juliet would be
understood even without spoken words. The camera-work tells the story as
clearl ...

The James Bond Phenomenon
... types of adventures, well ok they were all action/spy problems
but they were all different, in some ways anyway. Hey if they suck so much why
can't you stop watching them? Why have they made so many of them? eh? thats what
I thought. I had my doubts about watching all these James Bond movies, but they
were all good. Sean Connery Played a nice cool, slick James Bond, well so did
the others but he was better at it because he naturally is cool and slick.
Pierce Bronsman played also as a cool, slick James Bond, he really looked like
he was a spy, he kept his cool, I really liked that scene in Golden Eye when he
is at the tanks of fuel where the satellite comes out ...

The Missing Dialogue In Antigone
... drama, we see that the point Sophocles is trying to
make is a political one. The absence of Antigone and Haimon speaking alone
together adds to this political atmosphere and does not inject the play with a
question of romantic love and/or loyalty. Family bonds and loyalty are the
crucial issues instead.
The central question of this play is a political one. What should have
more power within a society, the divine laws of the gods or the laws of the land
and the mortal rulers? Antigone is a representation of the divine laws of the
gods, and she remains steadfast to her beliefs that the wishes of the gods
should overpower the wishes of the king. Creon, on the ...

Analysis Of A Cartoon Regarding The Vietnam War
... represent the three communist countries, two of
which were super powers. One head represents Russia, definitely a
communistic super power, one head represents China, a communistic super
power of that time as well, and the third head represents Vietnam. This
was represented as a group of monolithic communists.
Another myth present was "Peace with Honor". This was President
Richard Nixon's slogan while negotiating with North Vietnam to withdraw
their troops. As the war went on and we continued to lose more and more
men, the American public wondered why we didn't just withdraw our men. The
American public saw this war going nowhere. An explanation given as to ...
