... this notion of power in tracing the rise of the prison system in France and the rise of other coercive institutions such as monasteries, the army, mental asylums, and other technologies. In his work Foucault exposes how seemingly benign or even reformist institutions such as the modern prison system (versus the stocks, and scaffolds) are technologies that are typical of the modern, painless, friendly, and impersonal coercive tools of the modern world. In fact the success of these technologies stems from their ability to appear unobtrusive and humane. These prisons Foucault goes on to explain like many institutions in post 1700th century ...

... the use of advanced and lesser vocabulary. Here, he is so shocked by Helen’s beauty that he knows nothing else but this typical phrase. This implies that Faustus is in a state of hypnosis. He is taken over by Helen’s beauty, and in the process, loses his soul. Another illustration of the trance Faustus is in, is by the use of alliteration in the first two lines of the poem. This device causes the reader to read the lines more slowly. The pronunciation of words in a moderate fashion suggests this trance, and makes the rest of the passage more comprehensible. In contrast to the first two lines, the rest of the section can be read more easily and therefore, fas ...

... mirror was shattered. This left her unable to survive without reflecting her husband’s light, just as the show could not go on without the public coming to watch it. Following Kukin’s death, Olga knew to do nothing else but morn. As it says, “She was always in love with someone and could not live otherwise (Chekov, 46).” At this point, there was no one for her to love. Then, when timber merchant Pustovalov came along, she once again fell in love. This changed her life of theater into a new life of business. “Whatever ideas her husband had became her own (Chekov, 49).” At one point, her trying so hard to act like the one she loved drove a third affair away. ...

... consequently, the feuds had on occasion resulted in bloody confrontations in the streets of Verona. Even after many decades had passed, there was hate between the two families so much so that even the servants hated each other. This feud would have caused many problems for : These two young lovers knew this and this is why they kept their relationship a secret. If their parents discovered their secret, they would have made their children's lives miserable; furthermore, Romeo and Juliet would not have been able to see each other. Both of these families were very stubborn and there was hardly any thing that would have made them become friends. In t ...

... had, both were convinced that they were doing brave and honorable acts of chivalry, when they were only two fools running around the countryside. Cervantes tries to make his book more interesting with the use of point of view. Don Quixote sees what his mind and imagination create, not that which is transferred through the optic nerves in a very clean-cut scientific manner. He retreats to a world that holds meaning for him. When he first departs, he stops at an inn and his eyes make it a beautiful castle with blushing maids and noble sirs. The wench Aldonza is turned into Dulcinea, his one true love, who he swears by in his battles and contemplates when he is idle. ...

... him so in act one, scene four, when he says, "All thy other titles thou hast given away; that thou wast born with." The Fool also warns Lear about Goneril and Regan stating that Lear is now a lap dog to Goneril and Regan, "Truth’s a dog must to kennel; he must be whipped out when the Lady Brach may stand by the fire and stink." The Fool disappears in act three, when Lear goes mad. This shows that the Fool is Lear’s view of reasoning because when a person goes insane they cannot think straight or reason and therefore after act three there is no need for Lear to have a Fool as he is mad. The Fool also tries to help Lear to feel a bit better about ...

... had his pupils best interests at heart. His teaching methods were eccentric, but his point always came across loud and clear. He was idolized by his students. In a school of such dignity and staunchness, his approach was a breath of fresh air. He was never afraid to put himself on the line if it meant that his students were to gain. This was no more evident than with the Dead Poets Society. He knew that if it were ever uncovered by the faculty higher-ups his job would be, at least, in serious jeopardy. This is another case of needless persecution of someone with the best of intentions. It is ridiculous to think that he could have been implicated in any way ...

... because she loved Hamlet, and finally Cordelia died because she loved King Lear. People should not die for love, but in Shakespeare's plays, it seems so. Therefore, for love, death is tragic. But if death is the only way to die, then death is the best way to die. ...

... of our whole family" (p.45). Doakers job in the play is to carry the background story of the bloodstained piano to the viewer. He is also a reminder to respect the past and a realization that our past is not that far in back of us. Another way this play teaches duty toward heritage is it's assertion that you cannot escape racism by pretending it's non-existence, and that the ghosts of slavery's past will follow you unless you hold them up. This was demonstrated in the conclusion of the play when Bernice faces her denial of the piano and "realizes what she must do" and exercises Sutters ghost by "beginning to play"(106). When Bernice plays the piano she is showi ...
