The Birth Of A Nation: The Pros And Cons
Number of words: 2331 - Number of pages: 9.... this is regarded as his masterpiece, if it was never made, it is quite possible that his name would have remained as known as Beethoven. The problem is that it is such an amazing movie on a technological and aesthetic level, but looking at Birth of a Nation in a moral sense, it is almost embarrassing to mention it. There are a handful of reasons for this, but first in order to get a proper perception, one must first learn a bit of history.
The Birth of a Nation is the first film to offer 2$ seats. Before then, the best seats in the house were a mere 50 cents. But the 2$ seat .....

The Supernatural In King Lear
Number of words: 930 - Number of pages: 4.... nature can reason it thus and thus, yet nature finds
itself scourged by the sequent events.
(Act 1, Sc. 2, 109 - 113)
This is proclaimed by Gloucester as he is told by Edmund of Edgar’s supposedly treacherous plot to remove him from power. Gloucester’s trust in Edgar faltered as a result of Lear’s irrational banishment of Cordelia and Kent, coupled with recent anomalies in the heavens. Gloucester believed that Lear’s actions also came as a result of the star’s unusual behaviour. Edmund, the treacherous and bastard son of Gloucester, exploits Gloucester’s blind believe i .....

Romeo And Juliet: They Did It To Themselves
Number of words: 736 - Number of pages: 3.... What? It
seems that they are obsessed, not in love. How could they love each other when

plenty of melodrama to enhance it.
Romeo demonstrates his immaturity again when he slays the Capulet, Tybalt.
Being an idealist, he does not think about the consequences of his actions. He
knows that Tybalt is Juliet's cousin, and that injuring him would wreck any
chance of them getting together legitimately, yet he does it anyway. Instead of
pausing a moment and thinking about the situation in an adult manner, Romeo
allo .....

Number of words: 279 - Number of pages: 2.... in a romantic way and also loves Portia, a female.
Also, there is another pair who I am suspicious about. They are Salanio and
Salerio. The reason is that they are always together, just like siamese twins.
When Salanio comes, Salerio comes. When Salerio goes, Salanio goes.
Here is a famous quote by Shakespeare, ÒThe love that dares not speak its name.Ó
In the play, there are many places where Antonio expresses love for Bassanio;
for example, Òlove the world for BassanioÓ and also Ògreat affection for
BassanioÓ.This certainly appeals to me that Antonio likes Bassanio as more than
ju .....

Antigone: Who Is The Tragic Hero?
Number of words: 624 - Number of pages: 3.... many people believe the Antigone is
the rightful protagonist.
Many critics argue that Creon is the tragic hero of Antigone. They say
that his noble quality is his caring for Antigone and Ismene when thier father
was persecuted. Those who stand behind Creon also argue that Antigone never had
a true epiphany, a key element in being a tragic hero. Creon, on the other hand,
realized his mistake when Teiresias made his prophecy. He is forced to live,
knowing that three people are dead because of his ignorance, which is a
punishment worse than death.
My opinion on this debate is that Antig .....
