Hamlet: To Kill Or Not To Kill

... was complete. So being the great son of a profound father, he decided that he would get the ultimate revenge. He would place death on the killer. “Your loves, as mine to you./ Farewell./ My father’s spirit-in arms!/ All is not well./ I doubt some foul play./ Would the night were come./ Till then, sit still, my soul./{Foul} deeds will rise, though all the earth o’erwhelm them, to men’s eyes.”(Hamlet 1.3.276) The only problem is that Hamlet would find it difficult to gather the strength to kill. He had the chance and passed it up. ...

Hidden Persuaders In Advertising

... have to use some method to tell the consumer that their product is better and that we should buy their product. To achieve this purpose the produces use Advertising.

Hamlet: Characters And Plot

... for revenge at any cost. In contrast to Laertes speculation of his father’s killer, Hamlet presumes the individual spying on his conversation with Gertrude is Claudius("Nay, I know not: is it the King?" Act 3, Scene 4 line 28). Consequently, Hamlet consumed with rage automatically thrusts out attempting to kill Claudius, but instead strikes Polonius. Hamlet’s and Laertes’s imprudent actions are incited by fury and frustration. Sudden anger prompts both Hamlet and Laertes to act spontaneously, giving little thought to the consequences ...

The Shawshank Redemption

... Freeman) who is able to get anything for anyone within reason. The story follows the prison life of Andy Dufresne and his eventual escape from Shawshank's walls. The movie follows a formalistic style of direction under Frank Darabont. He interweaves scenes with nice fluid shots. The shots are not jarring or rough cut. Darabont tends to take the story at a distance allowing the characters to establish their traits to the audience instead of pushing a barrage of angles at the audience. The position of the camera is intricately placed in all ...

Weakness Of Women In Hamlet

... to believe in her son, Hamlet, Shakespeare depicts Gertrude as a traitor and a coward. The female characters in Hamlet seem to have very few redeemable qualities. Shakespeare effectively demonstrates how dependent women are on men by showing that, without men, women cannot function as emotionally stable or sound individuals. After the death of her husband, the King, Gertrude hastily remarried the late King’s brother, Claudius. Gertrude’s marriage to Claudius was a deplorable and sordid disappointment to Hamlet who was appalled by the s ...

Macbeth: The Main Theme Of Evil

... anything to keep his crown, even so far as to getting killed for it! I think that some sort of anatomy of evil was responsible for Macbeth's as well as other characters' wrongdoings in the story. Each character in the story had to either fight it or give into it. In Macbeth's case, he fought it and lost, and therefore, gave into it. The play makes several points about the nature of evil. One point it makes is that evil is not normal in human nature. Macbeth and Lady Macbeth have to sort of "trick" themselves into murdering Duncan. First, La ...

Personalities And Themes In "The Shawshank Redemption"

... prison combine to form a community of sorts. This movie shows prisons not only as a place where murderers and thieves live, but also as a commune of people who have had problems and who are attempting to rehabilitate themselves. The story revolves around Andy who is convicted of murdering his wife and her lover in 1946, and who is then sentenced to life in prison. He is sent to the Shawshank prison, the state prison in Maine, which is known for its harshness. One does not know if it is Andy who committed the murder of his wife an ...

Darkness; Beacon Of Chaos In Macbeth

... setting for the witches because caves tend to represent the under-world and hell, creating a feeling of evil. The witches appearance, "secret, black, and midnight hags" also indicates their evil nature. The witches dark meeting place and dark appearance all emphasize their destructive nature. Macbeth in Act 4: consulted with the witches, murdered Macduff's family, and continued to create chaos in Scotland. Macbeth in Act 4 is described as an agent of disorder, "untitled tyrant bloody-sceptered". The language in Act 1 that descri ...

Movie: Glory

... not gone at all, just muffled by many people's views. The 54th regiment was incorporated because people thought it would only be fitting that blacks be able to fight for their own freedom. The problem was that the blacks were still thought of as inferior individuals. This is why it took so long for a black regiment to come into existence. A good example of the racism that was still existent in the north is when the 54th met the white regiment coming back and were called "nigger"s and were taunted. Another good example was that Blacks were ...

Romeo And Juliet: Tragedy Of A Family Or A City?

... but the tragedy of a city. Everybody in the city is one way or another involved 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 ar ...

Oedipus Rex

... the story, Oedipus’ lack of patience is most evident. Wishing to end this mystery of the death of Laios as quickly as possible, Oedipus passes an edict to kill anyone who withholds information. Teiresias tested Oedipus’ patience in the beginning of the story with information he was withholding; “For you would rouse a very stone to wrath…” (pg. 13). This impatient accusing of Teiresias proved to be bad, especially since Teiresias foretold the ending of the story. If Oedipus had been more patient and waited, he might have not been ...

... of guilt. The blood showed also the killings of all people it foreshadowed that there would be more murders. The first killing by showed how Macbeth could be a ruthless savage. It was a noble killing but the way Macbeth killed Macdonwald was a savage display of sickness. "Till he unseam'd him from the nave to the chaps, And fix'd his head upon our battlements" (Act 1, Scene 2:line22, 23) Macbeth was not a bad man at first he was a very noble ally to Duncan. When Macbeth he saw the Three Witches everything changed. They told him things ...
