Shakespeare's Hamlet: Investigating Hamlet's Insanity
Number of words: 1471 - Number of pages: 6.... my inky cloak, good mother,
Nor customary suits of solemn black,
Nor windy suspiration of forced breath,
No, nor the fruitful river in the eye,
Nor the dejected 'havior of the visage,
Together with all forms, moods, shapes of grief,
That can denote me truly: these indeed seem,
For they are actions that a man might play:
But I have that within which passeth show;
These but the trappings and the suits of woe.”(1.2)
Here Hamlet shows his unstable mind. He is screaming at his mother telling
her how his actions are .....

Bianca, however, knows how to be flirtatious, witty, and coy around her

casually offers Kate whichever suitor she wants. Kate is enraged by this
because she knows that the only reason that Bianca has suitors while she has
none is because .....

murder Duncan. She tells him things like “If you were a real man you'd do

As soon as Macbeth has killed Duncan, he seems to start to lose his
mind. He just doesn't know what to do with himself. In fact, he cannot
finish smearing the blood on the chamberlains, lady Macbeth had to. As
time goes by Macbeth begins to think that to keep his name clear h .....

with a sewing needle and claims it to be Elizabeth Procters voodoo spell. "and
struck two inches in the flesh of her belly, he draw a needle outshe testify it
were your familiar spirit pushed it in." (Miller 71). From this, it can be
conceived that she would disastrously knock down any obstacle to get what she
wanted.
Another character who brings greed upon themselves is the Reverend Parris. He
uses his high social status as a priest as an excuse to obtain that of which he
considers is a requirement for such a prestigious man as he believes to be. In

Cultural Write-Up On “Gone With The Wind”
Number of words: 784 - Number of pages: 3.... innocence and carefree nature could be seen in that scene. I was in awe with the lavish scene, beautifully costumed and photographed at the Twelve Oak’s ball and barbecue. Its magnificence suggests an idyllic culture with warming and abundant security. The major characters were one by one introduced with immeasurable boldness that draws the viewer to them. I was immediately attracted to the lighthearted and beautiful Scarlett when I first saw her. War was then introduced, and the South is looking toward the dreadfulness of defeat. What I like about this movie is that it does not show .....

Medea's Revenge
Number of words: 1985 - Number of pages: 8.... in all legal
proceedings. In some ways, these Greek women were almost like slaves. There is
a definite relationship between this subordination of women and what transpires
in the play. Jason decides that he wants to divorce Medea and marry the
princess of Corinth, casting Medea aside as if they had never been married.
This sort of activity was acceptable by Greek standards, and shows the
subordinate status of the woman, who had no say in any matter like this.
Even though some of Medea's actions were not typical of the average
Greek woman, she still had attitudes and emotions commo .....

Tragedy In Oedipus Rex
Number of words: 575 - Number of pages: 3.... Oedipus actually did murder Laius
and that Jocasta is indeed his mother as well as his wife. This occurs rather
quickly, very close to the end of the play.
The audience sees this coming long before it actually does, however. In one
of the passages of Oedipus speaking with Jocasta, just about everything is
spelled out for us. Jocasta speaks of Laius leaving the castle with just a few
servants and his being killed where three roads meet. Oedipus claims that he
killed somebody where three roads met, who had a few servants with him. As
though this isn't enough, Jocasta describes Laius to Oed .....
