... Lawrence agrees in hope to stop the feuding families. Unfortunately, Tybalt and Mercutio are killed and Romeo gets banished leaving Juliet without a husband or a cousin. "O, I am a fortune's fool," (Act III, Scene I) explains how Romeo felt at the moment of Tybalt's death. He felt that he fell into one of fate's many cruel games and it was too late to get out. When things are just getting worst, Lord Capulet arranges for Juliet to marry Paris causing Juliet to panic. She then has to hurry and do something to stop the wedding and of course fate would just happen to guide her back to Friar Lawrence. Fate wouldn't just stop there. He just kept on going. He has ...

... dependent women are on men by showing that, without men, women cannot function as emotionally stable or sound individuals. After the death of her husband, the King, Gertrude hastily remarried the late King’s brother, Claudius. Gertrude’s marriage to Claudius was a deplorable and sordid disappointment to Hamlet who was appalled by the speed with which his mother recovered from her widowhood. “Within a month, ere yet the salt of most unrighteous tears had left the flushing in her gallèd eyes, she married. O, most wicked speed, to post with such dexterity to incestuous sheets!” (Act1.scene2.158-162). The absence of a mourning period for the Queen suggests that she ne ...

... when Jack, the failed politician, and Thomas, a little-known poet, meet up with Sonya, a secluded scientist, the movie takes a deep inner-look at the world. As the three characters get to know one another, they begin to discuss (actually debate) various topics about the world around them. As they all begin to tell their side, it becomes clear why the author chose these characters. Each has a very separate, very unique view on the subject he is trying to get across: people's perception of the world. As the day draws to a close, the three different viewpoints seem to slowly diverge into a common thought: People need to view the world as a whole, everything ...

... Each one's destiny is determined by the actions of not only their life but also the reactions of others. Claudius, King Hamlet's brother, desires to have more power than he currently has. He devises and executes a plan to murder his brother, the king by placing poison in the sleeping man's ear. The king dies from the poisoning, and Claudius exclaims that the king must have been bitten by a snake and died from the venom. “The serpent that did sting thy father's life now wears the crown.” (p 29) It is the perfect crime except that young Hamlet gets wind of the evil deed from the ghost of his father. Hamlet is told that the only way to put his father's s ...

... necessity to Iowans. It gave meaning and pride to life, and farming was a business that could be passed on from generation to generation. Corn soon became the crop of choice to Iowa farmers. They found that it was more resistant to disease than the other crops they were growing, such as barley, oats, wheat, and apples. With this newfound “wonder crop”, Iowans found that farming had become the ideal way of life. Working on the farm involved all of the members of the family, which brought them together and made them stronger through hardships and great opportunities. Draft horses used for plowing later became a luxury and farming soon lost its fun and joyful qua ...

... the gangsters will all be overcome by justice or meet their own demise. The reason for the consistency in the films is the publics desire to make an informed choice not and not to go in blind. By using the genre qualification, the industry is able to target societal groups and try to produce and market what they want to see. The public attends a film because they think they might enjoy some aspect of it. The film genre follows a set of abstract rules that allows the public to informally categorize films. These rules must be viewed from an flexible point of view in order to legitimize their future existence. By using this method of categorizing films the publ ...

... speaking, “He was neglected, rejected and subjected to pain of which no one knows. Now he has the power to inflict his pain onto any one else. And he may just want you.” The screen goes blank again and the voice says, “Coming soon to a theatre near you.” You were so caught up in the moment you just now realize that the movie was in spectacular animation. And the voice you felt strangely familiar was James Earl Jones. While I was reading this book I thought it would be a perfect story line for an animated movie. So I was thought that my choice would be Todd McFarlane. His current production is Spawn: The Cartoon on HBO. He also has just don ...

... he ask us to "release [him] from [his] bands with the help of your good hands." In other words, clap so that the sails of the boats his friends are riding in will be safely returned and Prospero can be "relieved by prayer" of the audience. All of what Prospero has said is very nice cute, but the most interesting part of this monologue is what Shakespeare himself is saying. "Now that my charms are all o'erthrown, and what strength I have's mine own" means, now my plays are over, and it's no longer my characters speaking. The "Island" or stage Shakespeare is on is now "bare" and it is time for "you" the audience to release Shakespeare and his actors from this pl ...

... flaw" or harmatia within the character which leads to a catastrophe (Yelland 207). Hamlet, overpowered by the evil surrounding him, falls into evil himself (Boyce 653). His tragic flaw, being indecisive and too thoughtful, takes on a serious tone, compelling the audience to react accordingly. Hamlet is just one of the many central characters in Shakespeare's plays who have fallen "victim of his own strength" (652). Magnitude is another element in tragedy, found mainly in characterization. During the Elizabethan and Greek era, tragedies revolved around people of great importance as opposed to other ages where the protagonists were ordinary men of inconsequentia ...

... the InfoTrac system in the Ruth Scarborough Library on the Shepherd College Campus. Refer to the bibliography for specific information references. History Research by the Distilled Spirits Council of the United States (DISCUS) found that 30 to 50 percent of Americans think that distilled spirits are being advertised on TV. Since Prohibition the hard liquor industry voluntarily agreed not to advertise their products, first on radio in 1936, and of TV in 1948. However, the industry is being faced with declining sales. Their competitors such as the beer and wine industries have grown. The sales of beer and wine have increased dramatically, leaving the hard liqu ...
