.... a wind” and “drain him dry as hay sleep shall neither night nor day.”(I,iii,12). This spell is cast due to the fact that the captain’s wife would not give the witch a chestnut. Another hag is bragging about a thumb she has acquired “Here I have a pilot’s thumb”(I,iii,29). These are the first actions that are observed of the witches and the menacing force that is at work. When the witches encounter Macbeth and Banquo for the first time, they make three predictions for Macbeth which cause him great suffering ,and he develops a conscious that plagues him throughout the entire p .....

.... Stella has to tell Stanley secretly to once in while give Blanche a nice compliment. Blanche used to have a nice house with big white columns in Belle Reve. Stella left Belle Reve to come to New Orleans. Blanche now comes to New Orleans saying that Belle Reve is lost but doesn’t explain how. Stanley thinks that Blanche is lying and he wants to know where the papers of the house are but Blanche gets off the subject. When Blanche and Stanley were having a conversation she told her sister, Stella, to go to the store and get her a drink. I thought this was kind of rude because she was dema .....

.... and Sam. Hitchcock's use of random selection creates a sense of normalcy for the audience. The fact that the city and room were arbitrarily identified impresses upon the audience that their own lives could randomly be applied to the events that are about to follow. In the opening sequence of Psycho, Hitchcock succeeds in capturing the audience's initial senses of awareness and suspicion while allowing it to identify with Marion's helpless situation. The audience's sympathy toward Marion is heightened with the introduction of Cassidy whose crude boasting encourages the audience's dislike of .....

.... eyes with a love potion so that he will fall in love with Helena. The plan goes accordingly. Demetrius is pursuing Hermia and asking for her hand in marriage. But she declines for she is in love with another. Eugeus, Hermias father, demands that Theseus, the Duke of Athens, force the marriage upon his daughter. Eugeus explains that he will rid of her and “dispose of her, which shall be either to this gentleman or to her death.” But Hermia pleads her case to Theseus by saying she does not love Demetrius, but instead she loves Lysander. She will not be happy with Demetrius; there .....

.... Aristotle attempted to explain how an audience could observe tragic events and still have a pleasurable experience. Aristotle, by searching the works of writers of Greek tragedy, Aeschulus, Euripides and Sophocles (whose Oedipus Rex he considered the finest of all Greek tragedies), arrived at his definition of tragedy. This explanation has a profound influence for more than twenty centuries on those writing tragedies, most significantly Shakespeare. Aristotle's analysis of tragedy began with a description of the effect such a work had on the audience as a "catharsis" or purging of the .....

.... one purpose - to sell. To acheive this goal, advertises are willing to stretch and distort the truth, just to convincing people to buy their product. For example, an advertiser may convince buyers to purchase their product by stating that has been tested and found superior. In reality, the product is not likely to be beter than any other - the tests themselves doubtlessly conducted by the promoting company - conducted to ensure at least something is superior about the product, even if it is only the colour. These advertisments are worded carefully so that they are telling the "literal tr .....

.... role of Robin Hood in the Fox version of the film. There is indeed a contrast in characters between the Fox and Disney versions of Robin Hood. Secondly, the Fox film doesn't use narration in contrast to the Disney film using an animated roaster who is a Minstrel to narrate much of the story. This changes the point of view in how the viewer interacts with the storyline in the film. In the Fox version you have to rely on the characters to tell you the story of Robin Hood. On the other hand in the Disney version of Robin Hood you can rely on the carton characters and the Minstrel to walk .....

.... as it was customary for the older daughter to be married before the young one. Finally, Petruchio came along to court Kate, saying he wanted to marry wealthily in Padua. It appeared, though, as if Petruchio was the kind of man who needed an opposition in life. The shrewish Kate, who was known to have a sharp tongue, very adequately filled his need for another powerful character in a relationship (Kahn 419). When Petruchio began to woo Kate, everybody was rather surprised, but Signior Baptista agreed when Petruchio wanted marry her on Saturday of the week he met her. Clearly, he was not .....

.... to the forest and leave him for dead. The servant does not want to carry out this deed and therefore "saves his life" by handing the baby to someone else, so that he can be raised in another city. Further, a drunken man in a tavern tells Oedipus about the prophecy, so he runs home to question his parents about his fate. Instead of telling him the truth, they give him the impression that they are in fact his biological parents. The idea that must be pointed out here, is that once an oracle or a prophet makes a prediction, it is destined to be and there is absolutely nothing that can be do .....

.... who he was in a society where homosexuals are discriminated against. What Blanche said completely devastated Allan and he found no reason to continue living. Although Blanche had no intentions of hurting Allan, enough damage was done to prompt Allan to shoot himself, his mind and body destroyed. The harsh treatment dealt by Mitch to Blanche near the end of the play is strikingly similar to Blanche's treatment of Allan Gray. Mitch is a friend of Stanley's whom Blanche falls for during her visit to New Orleans. The relationship between Blanche and Mitch had been developing steadily. Both c .....
