Dog Logic

... with the audiences favorite and most humorous character Leporello, who is Don Giovanni's servant, serving watch for his master as he tries to court Donna Anna, the daughter of the Commendatore.

Macbeth - Tragedy Or Satire

... Weird Sisters. Thus we must ask the question: If Macbeth is acting on the impulses stimulated by the prophecies of his fate, is this Shakespearean work of art really a Tragedy?

Antony And Cleopatra

... We know this by the way Enobarbus is permitted to speak freely (at least in private) with Antony, and often is used as a person to whom Antony confides in. We see Antony confiding in Enobarbus in Act I, Scene ii, as Antony explains how Cleopatra is "cunning past man's thought" (I.ii.146). In reply to this Enobarbus speaks very freely of his view of Cleopatra, even if what he says is very positive: ...her passions are made of nothing but the finest part of pure love. We cannot call her winds and waters sighs and tears; they are greate ...

Only Yesterday

... was released that the armistice had been signed and America erupted into mass hysteria throwing parties and parades.

The Crucible

... it takes to take his wife’s (Elizabeth Proctor) place. Everything gets out of hand and suddenly there supposedly is witchcraft in Salem, and the children involved in this all lie there way out, and accuse innocent villagers of devilish work. One obvious reason Abigail Williams has for blaming John Proctor’s wife, Elizabeth Proctor, of witchcraft, is the fact that she is madly in love with John Proctor.

Shooting An Elephant: Inner Conflict

... Orwell was much against British Colonialism and was for the Burmese. In his story "Shooting an Elephant", George Orwell's inner conflict displays the accuracy of the hatred between both the Burmese and the British. In "Shooting an Elephant", Orwell experiences an inner conflict in numerous ways.

Munro’s Trademarks

... My change of heart about math came about because of my teacher.

My best friend was also in the same math class that I was in but ...

Faust: The Dichotomy Of Gretchen

... and purity. When Faust tries to talk to her on the street, she refuses. "I'm not a lady, am not fair; I can go home without your care." (2607) A properly brought up young woman would never allow herself to be picked up on the street. It is her naivetÃ© that attracts Faust most of all. "I've never seen [Gretchen's] equal anywhere! So virtuous, modest, through and through!" (2610-1) Even Mephistopheles acknowledges her virtue. He calls her an "innocent, sweet dear!" (3007). Goethe further identifies Gretchen as a saint when Gr ...
