The Crucible
... is not telling him the whole story because she is afraid of what might happen to her. In addition, anger is evident in this play when Abigail is mad at the girls because she believes they are going to confess to all the things they did in the woods.
Jealousy was one of he emotions that played an important factor in this play. For example, When Abigail stated, "now look you. All of you. We danced. And Tituba conjured Ruth Putnum’s dead sisters. And that is all. Let either of you breathe a word. About the other things, and I will come to you in the black of some terrible night and I will bring a pointy reckoning that will shudder you". (1044) This quote shows how Ab ...

Hamlet: Act V-Scene 2 - The Climax
... his father's signet for sealing the forged document. No
less by chance, the pirates proved kind and, for sufficient compensation, they
returned him to Denmark.
Throughout the play, after we have itemized Claudius' major crimes, the
Prince does not receive an answer to his question, one which is basic to his
status as a moral symbol in the play:
- is't not perfect conscience,
To quit him with this arm? And is't not to be damn'd,
To let this canker of out nature come
In further evil?
It has been seen here a Hamlet who is still in doubt, still troubled by his
conscience; and his view should not be ignored, if only because it illustrates
once mor ...

Riefenstahl's Triumph Of The Will: A Work Of Art
... after its completion. When evaluating Triumph of the Will, should we separate the film’s creator, Riefenstahl, from her film and its consequences? When judging a work as great art, should we separate content from form? Can Nazi art be considered great art although we know their message is against humanity? With reference to Ben Shahn’s book, The Shape of Content, I will examine these questions in an attempt to show that great art like anything labelled great must first accomplish certain goals which include excellence in and impact of content and form Although Triumph of the Will is nearly great, its content and history cripple the art, demoting it to a great techn ...

Children And Television
... "how can a cartoon about a man hunting affect a child?" At first it
may seem that it has no effect, but, looking closer, it is easy to see that Bugs
Bunny has many human traits. Two of these traits are speaking English and
walking upright. Something else that adds to this is that sometimes children
cannot make the distinction between fantasy and reality. Quickly a cartoon
about a man hunting a rabbit can turn into a story of murder. Another cartoon
character that may harm children is Yosimite Sam. When he becomes angry, he
begins to fire his pair of guns into the air and at other characters. This
could cause children to act violently to appease their anger ...

Seinfeld
... In Seinfeld for example, George and
Jerry's personalities are the exact opposite. George is a total neurotic, while
Jerry has a take it easy personality. Same for I Love Lucy, Lucy is always the
leader and Ethel is always the follower. Without coherence Seinfeld would never
be where it is today.
Seinfeld is very original in the ideas they use for there shows. This is
where the show starts to resemble The Honeymooners and there unique ideas. The
Honeymooners' ideas were very unique for their time. Like the episode when
Ralph had a fight with Alice. It was a ground breaking idea for the time,
having a couple arguing and yelling at each other. Se ...

Fate And Prophecy In Oedipus Rex
... Oedipus is the murderer of his own father, and the new husband of his recently widowed mother, “So I charge you, then/ Abide by the proclamation you have made: / From this day forth/ Never speak again to these men or me; / You yourself are the pollution of this country” (Sophocles 1027).
When Oedipus left his stepfather because of the oracles prediction it is unequivocal that he is trying to escape his own fate. When Oedipus is on his way from Corinth he runs into his real father and kills him and then defeats the Sphinx to become the new king of Thebes. After this first accusation the reader can see that not only is the king accused of murder but he has committe ...

Macbeth: A Shakespearean Tragic Hero
... the beginning of this Shakespearean play, Macbeth is represented as a man of exceptional fighting and honor but not with out fault. The Sergeant represents Macbeth very well towards King Duncan, when he says, “For brave Macbeth – well he deserves that name disdaining fortune, with his brandished steel, which smoked with bloody execution…”(Act I, Scene II, Line 15-16). The Sergeant spoke very highly of Macbeth, and his actions in this war show his loyalty towards Duncan in that he would fight for his King. As the play continued Macbeth’s flaw becomes even more visible. His ambition for power would not go unnoticed. The author first gives a hint at the char ...

My Antonia And Heartland: An Analysis
... son. The scene when she is hanging up the laundry outside and she breaks down and screams at the top of her lungs is a prime example of the pain and anguish that the frontier so often caused.
In My Antonia the prairie is portrayed in a couple different ways. In the beginning of the novel Jim Burden felt, "blotted out", and "swallowed up", by the large size and vastness of the open space. He felt it was a place , "beyond the reach of mankind."
Throughout the novel Jim's view of the frontier is shown by how he reaches to the town.
Because the town has been isolated by the prairie, gossip has become has progressed into the primary pastime of the towns people ...

Romeo And Juliet: Tragedy Of A Family Or A City?
... in and responsible for what
happens." I agree with this quote. In the rest of this essay you will read why.
One reason why it is a tragedy of a city is because almost everyone is
involved. Almost the whole city attended the party which the Capulets held. Even
Romeo attended the party. Now the audience of the play knows that even the
city's citizens are involved.
The next reason is when Benvolio and Tybalt exchange insults. At first
they just argue. Then within a blink of an eye, you see masses of people
fighting. People come from all sides. To me, it looked as if the whole town was
present at the brawl.
The third and most consequential reas ...

The Crucible Shows Characterization Through The Experiences Of John Proctor
... religious beliefs. John Proctor's experience shows characterization by his reverends obsession with hell.
Another experience of John Proctor occurs in the beginning of Act Two. John Proctor goes through a big argument with his wife Elizabeth Proctor, as she starts to be suspicious with him about sexual relations, she thinks he had with Abigail Williams. Elizabeth says, "John, you are not open with me." John replies with, "I'll plead my honesty no more Elizabeth." In the proceeding words spoken between the two, it showed how John had lied about the affair. It would be impossible to experience what John Proctor did, unless the reader was married. This exper ...
