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 .....

his back. As the first part of his plan, Iago seeks to arouse Brabantio to the

Oedipus Rex

You planned it, you had it done, you all but
Killed him with your own hands: if you had eyes,
I'd say that the crime was yours, and yours alone.
(1.2.331-334)
Teiresius is a blind prophet, and it is possible that if Oedipus had listened to
him in the first place, his internal suffering may have been much less severe.
He should have accepted what he had to say as fact .....

somewhat new technique of a body suit that the actor wore along with a mask made
of latex rubber and foam. Using cooking oil or butter spread on the body and
