Macbeth: A Tale Of Two Theories
Number of words: 741 - Number of pages: 3.... of Duncan,
Macbeth first states,"We will proceed no further in this business"(I.vii.32).
Yet, after speaking with Lady Macbeth he recants and proclaims,"I am settled,
and bend up/Each corporal agent to this terrible feat"(I.vii.79-80). There is
nothing supernatural to be found in a man being swayed by the woman he loves, as
a matter of fact this action could be perceived as quite the opposite.
Second, the witches have to be dispelled as a source of Macbeth's
misfortune before the latter theory can be considered. It is admittedly strange
that the weird sisters first address Macbeth wit .....

Essay On Impulsiveness In Romeo & Juliet
Number of words: 959 - Number of pages: 4.... “he shall be endur'd”(pg. 57, Lines 77 & 78).
In this scene Capulet prevented a huge Montegue and Capulet confrontation
by thinking first and not doing the impulsive suggested by Tybalt. Through
thinking these actions through, problems were prevented.
However, Capulet was at times, a very rash person, and that lead to
much of the misfortune in this play. Hours after Romeo killed Tybalt,
Capulet acted on haste in Act III, Scene 4 and told Paris “I will make a
desperate tender/Of my child's love: I think she will be rul'd/In all
respects by me; nay more, I doubt it not.... .....

Antigone: Creon
Number of words: 458 - Number of pages: 2.... Once Creon hears this he lashed out in frustration and runs out into the palace. Later, while talking to Tiresias about how Polyneices’ punishment had no purpose because he was already punished since he was dead. Creon strongly disagreed with Tiresias and got angry when Tiresias said, “…He is a fool, a proved and stubborn fool…” (p.237). The comments concerning Creon all prove that he is a foolish leader.
During Creon’s life his views on things change and his conscience finally comes into place in the end. Talking to Haemon about dictatorship regarding Antigone, Creon says, .....

Good Will Hunting: Review
Number of words: 676 - Number of pages: 3.... Will undoubtedly challenges others day after day, and that is
why so many people were drawn to him out of sheer amazement. But, they
weren't afraid to get to know him, and they all chose to let him into their
lives in hopes that he would do the same. The problem is that he never
knew how to do this. In turn, he couldn't fully enjoy life because he had
no one to share it with.
Like many others, Will needs someone to believe in him and
appreciate who he is, and what he stands for. He needs someone to teach
him and show him how to love and how to trust. Shawn was the open door .....

The Meaning Of Chow Yun-Fat (It's In His Mouth)
Number of words: 2356 - Number of pages: 9.... into some quasi-
autistic prodigy, like Dustin Hoffman in Rain Man. Chow retains his intuitive
skill at playing cards, but now he must be pacified by constant pieces of
chocolate that he scarfs greedily, goofy smile on his face. Blowing smoke,
dangling his toothpick, eating chocolate, or just smiling ... ultimately, when
trying to explain why Chow Yun-Fat is cool, it comes down to his mouth.
Everything I have said so far describes a subjective reaction to watching Chow
Yun-Fat on the screen. Fill in the name of your favorite actor or actress,
change the specific references, and this could b .....

King Lear: Rejection
Number of words: 1090 - Number of pages: 4.... like a vulture here, - I can speak scarce to thee ; thou'lt
not believe with how depraved quality - O Regan ( King Lear II.iii )!
Goneril's response further clarifies this rejection. " Good sir, no more ;
these are unsightly tricks : return you to my sister ( King Lear II.iii ).
Lear's reaction is pure rage. He understands that he had not given them too
much of his time, but he had given them their percentage of the kingdom only
because they had made a pledge to him that they would care for him in his
elder years. The bond broken in this situation is a very weak one. The only
thing that h .....

Macbeth: The Symbol Of Blood
Number of words: 879 - Number of pages: 4.... his
sword is covered in the hot blood of the enemy.
After these few references to honour, the symbol of blood now changes
to show a theme of treachery and treason. Lady Macbeth starts this off
when she asks the spirits to "make thick my blood,". What she is saying by
this, is that she wants to make herself insensitive and remorseless for the
deeds which she is about to commit. Lady Macbeth knows that the evidence
of blood is a treacherous symbol, and knows it will deflect the guilt from
her and Macbeth to the servants when she says "smear the sleepy grooms with
blood.", and "If he .....

Antigone & Ismene
Number of words: 613 - Number of pages: 3.... sisters plan to
break the law and bury Polyneices, Ismene argues:
We who are women should not contend with men;
we who are weak are ruled by the stronger, so that
we must obey....(346)
Once again Ismene's words clearly state her weak, feminine character and
helplessness within her own dimensions. Antigone, not happy with her
sisters response chides her sister for not participating in her crime and
for her passivity, saying, " Set your own life in order"(346). For
Antigone, no law could stand in the way of her strong consideration of her
brother's spirit, not even the punishment of an .....

The Tempest. An Imperialist Heaven Or Hell?
Number of words: 1204 - Number of pages: 5.... Prospero came
to the island with his daughter to find it already inhabited by two savages.
Upon arrival, Prospero brought his “new” ideas with him, and began to force them
upon these two savages, Sycorax and Caliban. He believed that his new ideas were
better, such as slavery opposed to freedom, which he imposed on Caliban.
“Dull thing, I say so; he, that Caliban,
Whom now I keep in my service.”
(Act. I, Sc. II, Ln. 285,6)
This view of whose ideas were better is an obvious matter of opinion, one of
the biggest drawbacks to transforming old ideas in .....
