... Oedipus’ patience in the beginning of the story with information he was withholding; “For you would rouse a very stone to wrath…” (pg. 13). This impatient accusing of Teiresias proved to be bad, especially since Teiresias foretold the ending of the story. If Oedipus had been more patient and waited, he might have not been quite so upset about the future, nor shaken up about what was to happen. However, that one trait did not alone take away his position of high authority. Oedipus displayed anger throughout the whole story, which did not help him at all. During the story, we learn of Oedipus’ anger as he knocked a passerby at the meeting of the three highways; ...

... a crazy Indian who doesn't want to talk so pretends to be deaf and dumb. Much of the understanding and respect is lost in the transition between book and movie. In the book, Bromden has flashbacks to his childhood, lighting on significant points in his childhood. His background is never even brushed upon in the movie. Of course it would have been nearly impossible to tell of Bromdens life in a movie, much less show the world from his point of view as in the book. Bromden is still a very interesting character but the real puzzle to his problems is lost. McMurphy is a very sly, cunning man. He knows how to play his game and does it well. In the book as McMu ...

... by Monet and The Ravine by Van Gogh will allow us to further investigate the two artists’ stylistic orientation. Both paintings are dealing with similar subjects and have comparable compositions. As impressionists, Monet and Van Gogh brought great attention to the surface of the landscape as well as to the surface of the canvas. The viewer is completely aware that the images of are illusions. Both paintings are about impression and color sensation. However, the approaches behind these paintings are quite distinctive. As a result, the contexts of the impressions portrayed are different also. Compositionally, Monet and Van Gogh spread their landscape onto the en ...

... at one point does not even want to return to his homeland because he realizes how bad his world is in comparison. The movie, although a newer version, is very useful in discovering the meaning of the book if the reader encountered difficulty in reading it. I found the movie to be interesting and at the same time follow the book almost completely. In the small portions of it our class watched I could not even think of any differences between the text and the film. I also found the film to be one of good quality. The sound, special effects and actors were all good, unlike most of the films that we have watched in this class before. I would recommend that som ...

... And I will make thee think thy swan a crow." (I, ii, l 86-87) To show his appreciation, the servant asks for Romeo's presence at the ball. Romeo should have considered the servant's warning; if Romeo occupies the name of Montague, he shall not be permitted. Once at the ball, Romeo is searching for a maiden to substitute the unrequited love of Rosaline. Romeo happens to gaze upon Juliet, who charms Romeo. Romeo proclaims, " Did my heart love till now? Forswear it, sight!/ For ne'er saw true beauty till this night." (I, v, l 52-53) Since Romeo declares his love for Juliet, she feels the attraction also. They believe that they are in love and must marry. However, i ...

... use of prose and figurative language, Shakespeare utilizes the passage to illustrate Hamlet's view of the cosmos and mankind. Throughout the play, the themes of illusion and mendaciousness have been carefully developed. The entire royal Danish court is ensnared in a web of espionage, betrayal, and lies. Not a single man speaks his mind, nor addresses his purpose clearly. As Polonius puts it so perfectly: "And thus do we of wisdom and of reach / By indirections find directions out" Act 2, Scene 2, Lines 71-3 The many falsehoods and deceptions uttered in Hamlet are expressed through eloquent, formal, poetic language (iambic pentameter), tantamount to an art form ...

... movie, West Side Story and the 1996 movie, Romeo and Juliet starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes. The 1996 version of Romeo and Juliet shares many similarities and differences with the original play. The 1996 version of Romeo and Juliet showed that thier actors can still speak in the same dialect that Shakespeare wrote. Differences are also introduced into the movie because nothing can compare to what Shakespeare has written back the old English days. The biggest difference would be that the film was made to fit modern times. No matter the what year each production was made, the same plot of Romeo and Juliet still remain in the both stories. The main sim ...

... IV, Sc 5, 48) She is doubly hexed and the madness she has infects the whole court. Once a person's mental state has been studied in public, there is no telling the injuries which may affect the viewers. Ever since the death of King Hamlet young Hamlet has been what appeared to be in a state of madness. In a discussion between Hamlet and Polonius Hamlet questions Polonius by asking him "have you a daughter."(Act II, Sc.2, 182) In this discussion Hamlet shows antic behavior towards Polonius by mocking him when Hamlet would usually show great respect for him because of he age and heis high position in the court. This sudden question to Polonius has ca ...

... and least definable. The three major painters' work was highly individual and shared only for brief periods. The momentary excitement that held these painters aloft and allowed them the maximum of freedom, deserted them as their work developed and matured. The hangover from this movement led to new means of expression. It was never a movement with aims that could be realized such as successive movements as Cubism was, but was a erratic process of experiments with possibilities suggested by the post- impressionist painters. Cubism: Cubism, which began very shortly after Fauvism, is exemplified by Pablo Picasso. In this movement the flattened space includ ...

... the King Laius on a bridge and was too proud to let him pass first, and then the King pushed him out of the way. In a fit of rage, Oedipus killed him. All the while, an old man, Teiresias, knew that it was King Laius that Oedipus had killed. Oedipus didn't even know that it was King Laius that he killed. In the future, when Teiresias tries to convince Oedipus that he is the killer, Oedipus turns him away and calls him a liar and blames it all on him: And I'll tell you what I think: You planned it, you had it done, you all but Killed him with your own hands: if you had eyes, I'd say that the crime was yours, and yours alone. ...
