Number of words: 815 - Number of pages: 3.... deserved to die because of his flaw. Duncan was the King of England,
and was murdered by MacBeth. He was murdered, because in order for MacBeth
to fulfill his plan and become king, Duncan would have to die. Duncan's
fatal flaw was that he was too trusting. For example, he thought that none
of his friends could really be enemies. If Duncan was more careful about
his safety at MacBeth's castle, he may have had a chance to survive. But
Duncan's flaw, wasn't something so horrible that he should die. Most people
need to trust each other more, and just because one person did, he
shouldn't .....

Riefenstahl's Triumph Of The Will: A Work Of Art
Number of words: 2249 - Number of pages: 9.... is against humanity? With reference to Ben Shahn’s book, The Shape of Content, I will examine these questions in an attempt to show that great art like anything labelled great must first accomplish certain goals which include excellence in and impact of content and form Although Triumph of the Will is nearly great, its content and history cripple the art, demoting it to a great technical film and as an example of flawed talent. Triumph of the Will, though eloquent and innovative, fails to attain the status of great art because of the inseparable nature of content, form, and artist.

The Crucible: John Proctor Is A Tragic Hero
Number of words: 1446 - Number of pages: 6.... be viewed as the so called "good guy" in the plot, one who
stands out or the audience can relate to. He is described as a "farmer in
his middle thirties" with a " powerful body" and a "steady manner", and is
already being established as the protagonist in which we sympathize
with.(p.19) Miller's choice to describe him in such a fashion is very
significant. By describing the tragic hero as a "strong, steady, farmer"
the dramatic effect is even greater. Who else better to fall victim to his
own personal freedom and the fear of others but the strong, stern
character? John Proctor's descr .....

"In Cold Blood" Review
Number of words: 673 - Number of pages: 3.... were played well by the actors in my opinion. They
all seemed real and seemed to fit in with the setting and the time period.
I think that Hickock and Smith are not victims of forces beyond their
control, they are victims of, at least in Smith's case, a bad upbringing. The
two murderers have no direction in their lives. The only skills that Hickock
seems to know is how to steal things and how to write phony checks. Smith seems
more sane than Hickock, but all he has is his guitar and that is stolen in
Mexico. This is reason that these two resort to crime to solve their problems.

Lady Macbeth is a second major influence on the demise of Macbeth. Lady Macbeth is like a joined appendage to Macbeth. They work as one, communicate as one, and when that appendage is lost, so is Macbeth’s grip with reality. Lady Macbeth was the only person he could truly confide in. Her death at the end of the play sends Macbeth completely ov .....

This quote illustrates the downfall of technologization and why it is greeted with unease by many. However, as discussed by Professor Rickels in class, women are being put at the front of the line to this fearful type of technologization. We have seen several examples of the woman's body being the first equipped with technology including The Stepford Wives, Metropolis, and the reading of "Eve of the Future Eden".

Hamlet: Vengeance Is . . . Everybody's
Number of words: 302 - Number of pages: 2.... represents the middle path of revenge. He does not miss the knock of opportunity because of over analysis, nor does he act too swiftly to realize whom he should attack. In the end of the play, Fortinbras arrives just as everyone is dying and does not have to exert a great deal of strength to accomplish his task because the others have killed one another.
Each character has a different approach to get to the final goal of revenge, but each achieves his quaesitum. In each instance, the character is retaliating in order to get even. If one studies the play, he will clearly see that Hamlet p .....

Character Analysis: Athena
Number of words: 628 - Number of pages: 3.... to Odysseus. This is important because
the journey of Telemachos played an important part of his becoming a man.
Athena also rescued Odysseus from certain death at the hands of
Poseidon Earthshaker and brought him to the island of Phaiacia. "Now it
was the turn of Athenaia the daughter of Zeus, and this was her plan. She

waves in front of Odysseus, that he might make his way and save himself
alive." (Homer 70) At this point in the nove .....
