An Analysis Of Hamlet
Number of words: 1356 - Number of pages: 5.... themes of misplaced love and filial betrayal are mirrored in the
subplot of the play, the relationship between the Earl of Gloster and his
two sons, Edmund, who is supported and approved by Gloster and betrays him,
and Edgar, who unjustly becomes a fugitive from his father's wrath. The
mirror is whole. In it we view Cordelia's reflection and see Edgar, while
Regan's and Goneril's reflections, which are of one face, show us Edmund.
In the main plot ofHamlet, Hamlet's father has been murdered.
Hamlet swears revenge, but feign's madness and delays. In the subplot, the
chamberlain, Pol .....

Love In Much Ado About Nothing
Number of words: 1642 - Number of pages: 6.... point of view.
There are two love relationships developing throughout the plot. The reader witnesses "love from the first sight" between Claudio and Hero, and laughs at Beatrice's scorns and attitude towards Benedick. However, as the plot develops, these relationships develop too. Although they change, there is one thing that remains constant - the contrast between these relationships.
"Love may grow soft or even rotten (Claudio's "rotten orange" at the altar is more nearly a description of himself at the moment than it is of Hero), or, at the other extreme, it may harden into a she .....

An Analysis Of A Doll's House
Number of words: 897 - Number of pages: 4.... of
the play, when she tells Torvald, "…our home has been nothing but a play-
room. I've been your doll-wife here, just as at home I was Papa's doll-
child. And the children have been my dolls in their turn. I liked it when
you came and played with me, just as they liked it when I came and played
with them. That's what our marriage has been Torvald."
I think that it is at this point that Nora's world transforms from
a "doll's house" into reality. After having finished this play, I think
that Ibsen had chosen the perfect title, for Nora's world was truly
reflective of the title. I als .....

Macbeth: Lady Macbeth Uses Others As A Shield For Guilt
Number of words: 452 - Number of pages: 2.... to kill King Duncan, however, in the end, she knows she is just as guilty as he is. Her guilt emerges in her visions of blood remaining on her hands,
"The Thane of Fife had a wife. Where is
she now? What, will these hands ne'er be clean? No
more o' that, my lord, no more o' that. You mar all
with this starting."
(V, I, 44-47)
Another less obvious place where Lady Macbeth uses others to shield her guilt is when Banquo is murdered. Both MacBeth and Lady MacBeth discuss their fear of Banquo knowing too much, and Lady MacBeth resolves to do nothing and leaves the chore up to h .....

thoughts, and persuades Macbeth into many actions he would not normally do.
"Only look up clear: To alter favour ever is to fear. Leave all the rest to me"

mind, but when the bell sounds, "Hear it not, Duncan, for it is a knell That
summons thee to heaven or to hell." (Act 2 Scene 2) and Macbeth acts promptly.
After the murder Macbeth regrets his actions, but again Lady Macbeth is
influential tow .....

Art Making And European Influence
Number of words: 635 - Number of pages: 3.... the centuries, that is in large part because they have lacked an audience aware of their existence or willing to consider their work". (page xxv) Although that statement is true, I don't think it ever occurred to the author that maybe Native Americans do not want nor do they feel the need an for audience in order for their art to be of value. To Native Americans their art is spiritual, meaningful and made as a part of life. Originally their art was not intended for sale nor for display in an impersonal museum.
Each and every individual makes art for a different reason. The reasons for why .....

Movie: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Number of words: 1038 - Number of pages: 4.... to Vienna from Salzburg, he
eagerly sought him out. He finally found him at a party, way from the other
guests, acting like a silly animal, chasing a young woman. However, as soon as
he heard his music starting without him, he changed into a serious musician,
rushing to take his place as conductor. Salieri noticed that Mozart conducted
without notes. Although he recognized that Mozart was a ‘giggling, dirty-minded
creature', he was also able to see the genius in him. He couldn't understand why
God had chosen a ‘obscene child to be his instrument'. At another time, Mozart's
wife pre .....

Fate A Factor In Oedipus' Life
Number of words: 736 - Number of pages: 3.... come true so he escaped from what he thought was his mother and father because he cared. In doing this he kills his father of birth, and then he frees the people of Thebes from the plague of the Sphinx and inherits the throne.
It is no surprise Oedipus didn’t go insane. I guess to the result of this he gouged his eyes out. He did so many good things for his people and when it came time to find the killer of King Lais he did everything in his power to find them. He became his own worst enemy. "I am at the edge of hearing horrors, yes, but I must hear! Those words show that he was .....
