Japanese Anime

... as the American versions (not including intelligent American comics, but more thinking of TV shows). Anime and culture Children's anime and TV anime shows in Japan will sometimes depict death --- while the U.S. (on children's TV) seems determined to stay away from such realities of life. And, not surprisingly, much of Japanese anime includes scenes of students in class or doing homework, or of people working in their offices. The work ethic seems omnipresent in the background anime also tend to portray technology sympathetically, while so ...

“The Need For Entertainment At The Woman’s Expense”

... on to him. However, since the movie relies heavily on visuals, nudity is used to get the point of sex across. Rather than showing any signs of distress and guilt as he did in the novel, Harker immediatly consents to the calls of the vampires and engages in a very sexual act with all three of them. Like the novel, but more so in the movie, the three vampire women are portrayed as mere objects of Jonathan Harker’s sexual fantasy. The second scene in the movie in which an elaboration was used was when Dracula lured Lucy Westenra from her h ...

Heroism In The Perfect Storm

... claimed some meteorologists. Such a storm left little room for rescue if one’s boat got into trouble. But there were those daring rescues from the Coast Guard during the storm that saved the lives of many and cost the life of one. These men risked their lives for the safety of others’; thus, they have earned the title of “hero.” The pararescue jumpers and pilots, our heroes in The Perfect Storm, had a responsibility to the well being of everyone at sea. When a distress call was made, it was their duty to answer it to the best ...

Hamlet: Many Interpretations

... the “sweet prince” who expresses himself in unforgettable poetry; the other, a barbaric Hamlet who treats Ophelia so cruelly, who slays Polonius and then speaks of lugging the guts into another room. Most interpreters of Hamlet start with the assumption that the tragic hero has a clear and sacred obligation to kill Claudius and to do so without delay. The question is then why does he wait so long to do so. It is argued that if Hamlet had taken prompt action, Gertrude, Polonius, Ophelia, Rosencrantz, Guildenstern, Laertes, and Hamlet hi ...

The Crucible: The Characters In The Crucible

... and competion were. John Proctor was always think out the final result of a situation, like when Betty was "spritually repossed" early in the book (Act I, pages 6-12). John Proctor did not care about as Betty as much as the final opinion that the town would have on Proctor's "white and pure" name. Much can be said about Proctor's giving and understanding, but I don't want to waste that line. Proctor's carring and willing to give people thinks was not his best feature. Proctor was always thing about him, himself and no one else, ...

Character Comparison In A Midsummer Night's Dream And Dead Poet's Society

... the characters in "Dead Poet's Society", present themselves in a very similar way. Mr. Perry and Egeus tend to take control of their children's lives. Puck and Charlie are both pranksters.

Riefenstahl's Triumph Of The Will: A Work Of Art

... party. The film was used to legitimize the Third Reich, thus garnering support for action by the German people. Triumph of the Will poses difficult questions on what constitutes great art more than sixty years 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� ...

Shakespeare's World

... Europe or Victorian England, so we speak of Shakespearean London or the Age of Shakespeare. No other artist, let alone writer, has had their name inscribed on such a towering edifice. "Thou in our wonder and astonishment, hast built thyself a long-live monument," wrote Milton, in praise of Shakespeare. Shakespeare is by far and without doubt the most popular and successful writer of all time. But what of the man himself? Who was William Shakespeare? The life of William Shakespeare is shrouded in mystery. There is no record of him r ...

Hamlet - Appearance Vs. Reality

... a mask of falseness. Four of the main characters that hid behind this mask are Polonius, Rosencrantz (Guildenstern), the king Cluadius.

... the effects the internet has on one major aspect of our everyday lives: television.

Television Soaps: The Cultural Construction Of Gender And Representation

... due to her play with gender and identity. No other single artist has produced as many mixed images as she has. Television soaps tend not to interrogate the construction of gender and the representation of identity. They do not seem to cross any boundaries. People watch soaps to relax and somehow relate, so if they were to experiment with the theatre of gender, it may be seen as a threat to viewers. Soapies usually have the males in typically male dominated occupations such as doctors, car salesmen and chefs. Women in soaps are ...
