The Symbol Of Blood In Macbeth
... on the faces and hands of the sleeping servants "I'll guild the
faces of the grooms withal, for it must seem their guilt". This is another
sinister and evil reference to blood, setting up the innocent servants of
the king. Again, blood is referred to when Malcolm and Donaldbain are
discussing what to do and Malcolm says : "there's daggers in men's smiles:
the nearer in blood, the nearer bloody." Meaning that their closest
relatives are likely to kill them. Again, blood is being used to describe
treason, murder and death. In Act 5, Scene 1 - the sleepwalking scene,
while Lady Macbeth is sleepwalking, there are constant references to the
evil deeds that Macbeth an ...

Westerns
... the turn of the century came the industrial revolution. At this
time the average person's life changed radically. People now became "factory
workers," clocking in and leaving their brains at the door. The glamour offered
by these stories gave the majority of people a short escape from the everyday
"grind." People were able to ride off into the sunset for a few hours becoming a
rugged individual who makes a difference as opposed to the faceless body that
may turn one screw hour after hour. Storylines variety was endless for the
west's story tellers. Any story could be written and placed as a western. The
love interest, hated villian and old enemy all fit in a western ...

Oedipus: Classical Example Of A Tragic Hero
... sorrows each have single scope and touch but one of you. My spirit groans for city and myself and you at once.” (59-61) From the first, we can tell that Oepidus’ remorse is sincere. He is not consumed in his own misery, on the contrary he is more concerned with the impact on his people.
Long before we come into the story, Oepidus “sent Menoeceus’ son Creon, Jocasta’s brother, to Apollo, to his Pythian temple, so that he might learn there by what act or word [Oedipus] could save [his] city.” (60-73) Upon returning, Creon brings with him encouraging news that saving Thebes is a simple task of finding and driving out Laius’ murderer or murderers. At once Oedipus ...

Essay On The Movie "Lord Of The Flies"
... in the movie was not done properly for the film.
My first example is the editing of the movie, explains they did not edit the
movie carefully. When a scene was cut you could focus on a different picture,
then go back to what happened. My second example is that the movie was black
and white. Since their was a lot of special effect in the film the movie should
have been coloured. The special effects would have looked neater since a lot of
killing was shot. If the movie was coloured the audience would focus on the
screen often, rather than seeing a black and white screen.
The settings and the props were not prepared well. My first example is that the
boys shirt ...

Rodin's "The Kiss"
... we can preserve this work of art for future observers.
The statue is a bronze sculpture. Bronze is a copper alloy, which means it is predominantly copper with other metals added. Metals are alloyed to enhance their chemical, mechanical, or physical properties, which can improve strength, hardness, corrosion resistance, toughness, etc. Bronze is stronger than brass or copper and is commonly composed of 90% copper, 5% tin, and 5%zinc. These percentages can be altered to suit desired characteristics. Bronze has a tensile strength anywhere between 30,000-40,000 lbs./square inch. This high tensile strength makes sculpting easier.

Antigone: Following Her Beliefs
... thinks it is nonsense and that only God can make the rules, that is why she says " If it's a crime, then it's a crime that God commands." Basically, God is the only one she believes in making the rules for her and others.
Secondly, Antigone knows that she is going to die due to Creon's death sentence, but Antigone is not going to be killed easily. From reading this book, Antigone defends her belief of God's having the power of making the rule's, not a King, such as Creon. Antigone say " I don't consider your Pronouncements so important that they can just........ overrule the unwritten laws of heaven. You are a man, remember." Antigone says that he is only ma ...

Who Is Most To Blame For Macbeth's Downfall?
... killing Duncan he feared
Banquo for his knowledge of the witches prophecies and had him killed as well.
Macbeth seemed to be losing himself after Duncan's death due to his obsession
with the witches prophecies, so in turn, the witches could be partly responsible
for Macbeth's downfall.
Lady Macbeth can also be held accountable for Macbeth's decline of sanity
and power. Although it didn't take much, her persuasion lead to the killing of
Duncan. She wanted Macbeth to take the rank of king as much as he did.
Pressure from his spouse added on to all the other pressures from the prophecies,
also helped tempt Macbeth to murder. Not only did her doings contribut ...

Transformation Of Macbeth
... this
point he is somewhat confused and maybe more curious than anything. His
thought was not to do anything drastic to become king. He basically says,
whatever happens, happens.
When Macbeth arrives home to his wife, Lady Macbeth, she begins to
play mind games with him. She does this by trying to convince him to
murder Duncan. She tells him things like “If you were a real man you'd do
it”. This upsets Macbeth, and he begins to think that he is actually going
to do it, and eventually carries it out. What he doesn't realize is that
he will later regret his actions, and wish that he could turn back time.
As soon as Macbeth has killed Duncan, he seems to start t ...
