The Supernatural In Macbeth
... Macbeth's fate is that he will win the
battle, but will lose his time of victory for the battle of his soul.
After the prophecies of the witches' revealed the fate of Macbeth, the plan
in which to gain power of the throne is brought up. The only way to gain
power of the throne was for Macbeth to work his way to the throne, or to
murder King Duncan. Murdering the king was an easier plan since the
motivation in his dreams urged him on. Lady Macbeth also relied on the
supernatural by her soliloquy of calling upon the evil spirits to give her
the power to plot the murder of Duncan without any remorse or
conscience(Act I, Scene V, ll.42-57). The three sisters are capab ...

Antigone
... Creon then had to continue living with all the guilt from killing all these people.
I think that the reason Creon is forced to live until the end instead of being killed is because he needs to learn what it is like to suffer. He would have been a much better leader if he would have just kept an open mind and listened to what others, especially his family, told him. He was too concerned with how good he looked and how powerful he seemed. Creon needs to learn how to stop being so arrogant. He also needs to learn how to be wise in many different ways. Ismene seemed to be scared to do things. She didn’t do what she knew was right because she knew she’d be killed. ...

Tintern Abbey
... Wordsworth himself said, “No poem of mine was composed
under circumstances more pleasant for me to remember than this.” One can
attribute the melancholy mood to Turner's style which was impressionistic
and typical of the era. The Slave Ship, another painting by Turner,
further proves this.
The placement, or the view of the abbey, is also inaccurate. In
the poem Wordsworth describes the abbey as being in a river valley, with
rivers and streams surrounding it. It also implies that the building is
positioned near a cliff. Even the title itself proves that the view
portrayed by Turner is inaccurate. Lines Composed a Few Miles Above

The Boys From Brazil: Evil Will Never Die
... his
entire life to his research, which dated back to the time of the Nazi camps.
His main goal was to clone the genes of Hitler and implant them in
newborns. He performed many types of crude experiments on the prisoners to
test how much pain one could endure and what would improve the human race.
Hitler believed that a perfect human race consisted of humans with blonde
hair and blue eyes. Since the doctor believed in the ideas of Hitler, he
genetically engineered prisoners to have these qualities, along with the
people that worked at the doctor's home. In order for the children to grow
up looking, thinking, and acting like Hitler, the doctor's planning

Advertising, What Is It ?
... Reebok.
I think advertising is necessary in the point of view of a company owner.
Because for his company to prosper, he needs buyers, and without advertising
he'll have less buyers which will slow down his company's growth. But in my
opinion, I don't think advertising is necessary because we can live with less
products. It might even be better with no advertisements because T.V shows and
basketball games would be on continuously without any commercial interruptions.
For example, my advertisement is advertising Reebok, but I don't need it, I can
live with slippers or nothing at all; nevertheless, wearing a pair of Reebok
shoe would be more comfortable. ...

Feathery Friends Or Carnivorous Beasts?
... ever. The main character in the story is Nat Hocken. He is married and he is the father of Jill and Jimmy, his two young children who are terrified of the birds. This is a tightly knit family, who stick together in a time of crisis. Other characters in the story include Jim, Mr. Trigg, and Mrs. Trigg, who are indifferent about the actions of the birds. It is ironic because they thought the birds would bring no harm, but in reality, the birds kill all of them. Foreshadowing is used many times in this selection. When it is stated that the birds had been more restless than ever this fall of the year, it implies that something strange and unnatural is going on wit ...

Macbeth: Macbeth A Tragic Hero - His Strengths, His Weaknesses, His Tragic Flaw And The Effect Of Outside Influences On His Nature
... with his brandish'd steel, Which smoked with bloody
execution, Like valour's minion carv'd out his passage, Till he fac'd the
slave." (Act 1, Scene 2, Lines 16-20). However, after the murder of Banquo, his
ambition and superstitious nature clouded his morals and common sense. Pride and
ambition were a main contributor to his faltering public image of a brave hero.
Macbeth's own nature and "metaphysical" influences is a lethal cocktail
which propels him to his fate. The witches' ambiguous prophesies affected
Macbeth by making him curious to why they greated him as Thane of Cawdor and
why he would soon become king. Ambition seemed to be Macbeth's forte but ...

The Merchant Of Venice: Hath Not A Jew Mercy?
... why he hates Antonio. The first reason he gives
of why he hates Antonio is because he is a Christian. (I. iii. 43) This to the
sixteenth century audience would be unreasonable, and this would evoke a sort of
villainy towards Shylock. But a few moments later, the audience witnesses
Shylock's speech about Antonio's abuses towards Shylock. (I. iii. 107-130)
This speech does well in invoking the audience's pity, however little it might
be in the sixteenth century. But again at the end, Shylock offers that Antonio
give up a pound of flesh as penalty of forfeiture of the bond, which Antonio
sees as a joke, but which Shylock fully intends to collect. (I. iii. 144- ...

Pygmalion: Higgins' Philosophy
... It is easily seen how Higgins follows this theory. He is
consistently rude towards Eliza, Mrs. Pearce, and his mother. His manner
is the same to each of them, in accordance to his philosophy. However the
Higgins we see at the parties and in good times with Pickering is well
mannered. This apparent discrepancy between Higgins' actions and his word,
may not exist, depending on the interpretation of this theory.
There are two possible translations of Higgins' philosophy. It can
be viewed as treating everyone the same all of the time or treating
everyone equally at a particular time.
It is obvious that Higgins does not treat everyone equally ...

The Big Chill: Symbolism
... days. This is symbolic
that their friendships had been frozen, or dead, perhaps, since the group
"broke up" many years ago.
Another possibility is that the title symbolizes each individual's
stolid realization that a certain part of their lives was dead, or frozen.
This could refer to Alex, who had killed himself. Or it could refer to
their friendship, which pro bably dwindled down from an occasional phone
call to a seasonal letter or card, and eventually to virtual non-
communication.
The title could even have yet another "hidden" meaning. It could
refer to the group's total loss of communication with Alex. This could
have led to the poin ...
