The Foils Of Hamlet
Number of words: 761 - Number of pages: 3.... ignorance and hurt himself and others. When Polonius spies on Hamlet and the Queen, Hamlet thinks that it is the king who is spying behind the curtain, and without knowing who it really is he stabs Polonius and kills him. Polonius also has the same problem, but with much tamer results. Polonius usually ends up just making himself sound like a babbling fool by not thinking things out first. He never really hurt anyone and his slaying by Hamlet’s sword makes Hamlet seem more the fool. This foil gives Hamlet the image of a violent person that doesn’t know how to control his emotions, a .....

Movie: Arsenic And Old Lace
Number of words: 246 - Number of pages: 1.... they did.
Much to Jonathan's surprise , the aunts killed just as many men without the
plastic surgery , without the running , they just sat right there .
"Charge…" we hear as Teddy Brewster runs up the stairs.
This caracter brings out the most comedy in the picture. Teddy is the only
character in the movie that proves to be insane in my opinion. Any man who
thinks he is a dead president (TDR) has to have some problems.
The plot unfolds when Mortimer Brewster finds out about his
aunts secret after finding a present in the window seat . Mortimer panics
and runs all over trying to take c .....

The Instigator
Number of words: 830 - Number of pages: 4.... and his subject run into their
warring counterparts, Benvolio and Mercutio, of the Montague household.
Being a peaceful man, Benvolio talks of peace, trying to stay away from any
further clashes. Nevertheless, at the sound of the word “peace” Tybalt
illustrates his animosity toward the Montagues, as he repulsively responds,
“I hate the word / As I hate hell, all Montagues, and thee” (1.1.68-69).
This remark was sparked after a short confrontation, which was stopped by
citizens and peace officers. Later in the story, Mercutio describes Tybalt
to Benvolio, “O, he is / the courageou .....

This quote vividly expresses how Hamlet feels about the quick remarriage of his mother. By the use of animal imagery the reader can see the hate towards the marriage. The reader can also see how Hamlet feels about how quick his mother remarried by the use of the phrase "mourned longer." A .....

King Lear: A Story Of Blindness
Number of words: 768 - Number of pages: 3.... “by order of law” (legitimate), and then he jokes about how Edmund “came saucily to the world before he was sent for.” When watching the play, the viewer sees Edmund’s reaction to his father’s description, and he definitely does not look happy. Even though Gloucester knows his two sons, he believes the worst of Edgar, and what Edmund says, all too easily. I would think that Gloucester would have had some previous experience with the ways of his sons, and not believe everything that Edmund says about Edgar, without talking to Edgar first. Perhaps, after seeing Regan and Gone .....

The Reasons Why Macbeth Is More Guilty By His Actions Then Lady Macbeth Is By Hers
Number of words: 433 - Number of pages: 2.... crime. Lady Macbeth just talked
about committing the crime, but she never actually went through with it nor
would she ever, and that is all that counts. Talking about committing the
incident is very different from actually doing it. Lady Macbeth did a
little more than just talk about it though. She also urged Macbeth into
doing it and that is what makes her part of this crime, but she is not as
guilty as Macbeth. He really didn't have to listen to what his wife said.
Macbeth had a mind of his own and he could make his own decision. The
other murders that Macbeth was involved in were not .....

an army of nazis. You'll have to kill your way out. This kind of violence
probably has a deeper influence on children, because they do the killings
themselves. It is interactive violence. In several countries the follow-up game,
Doom, was banned. The software company claimed that it didn't have a negative
affect on children, because they killed mutants, not h .....

Number of words: 758 - Number of pages: 3.... bad king, which is demonstrated by his handling of the situation between Young Fortinbras and Denmark, but he is not extremely popular with the people and has brought back the obnoxious custom of firing the cannons whenever the king takes a drink.

Imagery In Macbeth
Number of words: 547 - Number of pages: 2.... Witches everything changed. They told him things he wanted to here and he believed them. He told Lady Macbeth what the witches said. She taught him and ridiculed him to be evil. He listened to her and that is when the trouble started.
The first ignoble killing by Macbeth was the killing of what was supposed to be his friend Duncan. Macbeth killed Duncan to become king.
