Oedipus Rex: Fate And Freewill
... it. Without this
there would be no fall of the protagonist in a tragic play. Ignorance of a
protagonist can lead to a fall do to a mistake done by there own free will.
Fate can cause the fall of a protagonist without there consent or there
control. The fate of a protagonist leads to a much more horrible conclusion
then the mistake of a tragic protagonist do to there own freewill.
Oedipus was born with a horrible prophecy told to his parents which
led his parents to believe that Oedipus would kill his father and marry his
mother. They soon had Oedipus taken up to a mountain, to leave him there to
die. A shepherd saved his life and raised him, Oedipus soon went ...

Twelfth Night: Theme Of Love
... Although she is pretending to be a man and is
virtually unknown in Illyria, she hopes to win the Duke's heart. In act 1,
scene 4, Viola let's out her true feelings for Cesario, "yet a barful strife!
Whoe'er I woo, myself would be his wife (1)." That statement becomes true when
Viola reveals her true identity. Viola and Orsino had a very good friendship,

things didn't work out so smoothly. During her attempts to court Olivia for
Orsino, Olivia grew to love Cesario. Viola was now caught in a terrible

Movies: A Thematic Analysis Of Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho
... and implicit character
parallels.
Psycho begins with a view of a city that is arbitrarily identified along
with an exact date and time. The camera, seemingly at random, chooses first one
of the many buildings and then one of the many windows to explore before the
audience is introduced to Marion and Sam. Hitchcock's use of random selection
creates a sense of normalcy for the audience. The fact that the city and room
were arbitrarily identified impresses upon the audience that their own lives
could randomly be applied to the events that are about to follow.
In the opening sequence of Psycho, Hitchcock succeeds in capturing the
audience's initial senses of awaren ...

A Street Car Named Desire: Blanche
... by the reader many times throughout the play as Blanche belittles others and their possessions. Blanche’s critical comments of her sisters house makes the reader feel less sympathy for her early in the play. As Blanche greets her sister later, one of the first statements she makes is “Open your pretty mouth and talk while I look for some liquor!” This illustrates how insensitive and demandfull Blanche can be at times. It also shows that Blanche is clearly not the shy and timid young lady she tries to be later in the story. Blanche then shows that she is also hung-up on herself by asking Stella if she looks okay. Stella tells her that she looks fine and Blan ...

A Streetcar Named Desire: Complexity Of The Main Characters
... state of mind in need of her sister's aid. The impression is given that this isn't the first time Stella has been there to help Blanche through a time of trouble. As much as she needs her help and as much as she respects her, Blanche strongly disapproves of her sister's new life. Stella tolerates Blanche's continual criticism of her husband, home and friends very well. From this and many other incidents throughout the play we see what a tolerant and adaptable person Stella is.
Stan and Stella's relationship is far from ideal. Stan is a violent man. On occasions he hits Stella, but comes after her to satisfy his sexual needs. This is not to say that Stella is unh ...

Romeo And Juliet Versus West Side Story
... but it is in song. While both equally
express the character's feelings at the moment, it is my feeling that West Side
Story's musical style brings the viewer/listener further into the play and makes
the play more effective. An example of this is when, in Act II, Scene II, of
Romeo and Juliet, otherwise known as the balcony scene, Romeo expresses his
thoughts in a sililoquy until Juliet shows up. While in Romeo and Juliet all of
this is spoken, in West Side Story, this is written as music shared between
Maria and Tony.
Another major difference between these two stories is that in Romeo
and Juliet, Juliet sees Romeo dead and decides to kill herself ...

Julius Caesar: Difference Techniques Caesar Was Eulogized
... with Caesar's death. This shows that Brutus knows how to lure the crowd, appealing to their better judgement as Romans. He declares that he is an honorable man, and tells them that he will let them judge the validity of his claims. That is, he will allow the truth to speak for itself. This encourages the crowd to believe him, as an honorable man. He says that he wants them to know the facts; "Censure me in your wisdom, and awake your senses that you may the better judge." Sharing information with the people is flattering and it almost guarantees acceptance. He gets their sympathy by saying that he loved Caesar, daring the people to find anyon ...

Antigone
... was that concern that caused his ultimate downfall…a life of misery after the death of his wife and son. Both of these characters experienced an epiphany, a point in their lives when they realized that things have changed for the worse. They both had hubris, and both suffered for it. Hence, my confusion. Can there be more than one hero in a Greek tragedy, or is there something that I am missing.
A comparison of these two characters, in an attempt to clarify this perplexing idea has only caused a heightening to my bewilderment. Both were noble characters. , a princess and Creon, the King. Both had strong ideals and morals. felt that the laws of the Gods and ...
