.... 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 .....

.... to add much to the story. However, if one investigate Blanche's past one can truly understand what this quotation symbolizes. Blanche left her home to join her sister, because her life was a miserable wreck in her former place of residence. She admits, at one point in the story, that "after the death of Allan (her h usband) intimacies with strangers was all I seemed able to fill my empty heart with" (Williams, 178). She had sexual relations with anyone who would agree to it. This is the first step in her voyage-"Desire". She said that she was forced into this situation because death was imma .....

.... of the space that the person looking at the work is standing in. The adjustment of the spectator to the pictured space is one of the first steps in the development of illusionistic painting. Illusionistic painting fascinated many artists of the Renaissance and Baroque periods. The proportions in this painting are so numerically exact that one can actually calculate the numerical dimensions of the chapel in the background. The span of the painted vault is seven feet, and the depth is nine feet. "Thus, he achieves not only successful illusion, but a rational, metrical coherence tha .....

.... murders, including the murder of Banquo and Macduff’s family, Macbeth is finally defeated. Malcolm and Macduff’s army from England subjugates Macbeth; soon after Macduff himself kills him. The rightful heir to the throne is finally in power and peace is restored throughout Scotland. Shakespeare drives his intent with the use of several recurrent themes within Macbeth. Nothing is ever what it appears to be in the play and therefore the theme of appearance versus reality is introduced. For example, the witches’ predictions in Act IV of the play seem to have a positive outlook for Ma .....

.... endured by so many soldiers in the defense of a nation? As difficult as it may be to distinguish between national pride and blind nationalism, Spielberg makes his film by insisting on visualizing an overwhelming sorrow at the loss of so much human life, and a similarly gratitude for the sacrifices that have been made. The flag in this certain frame represents everything worth fighting and living for, however, it doesn't tell the whole story. Its mere presence in the frame insists that something else, perhaps something still more important, remains behind. That "something else .....

.... world, it is easier than ever to kill someone. Any person can buy a cheap pistol and kill someone. It is also easier to kill without being caught. There are long range rifles and remote control explosives that can be used as the murder weapon while the actual perpetrator is far away. Also, it is easier than ever to find a professional assassin who will kill anyone for the right amount of money. These latter methods could allow a person to commit murder and easily get away with it. Even though the actual murderer may be caught, the person financing the operation could get away unto .....

.... placement, or the view of the abbey, is also inaccurate. In the poem Wordsworth describes the abbey as being in a river valley, with rivers and streams surrounding it. It also implies that the building is positioned near a cliff. Even the title itself proves that the view portrayed by Turner is inaccurate. Lines Composed a Few Miles Above Tintern Abbey: this means that the view would be a “bird's eye” one or a distant view. Yet, Turner's painting is painted as if he is standing at the entrance. Tintern Abbey, by Joseph Turner, does not portray accurately or compliment the Tin .....

Its name was Sankofa. Near the end of the movie the slaves rebel and flee. While they are fleeing she talks about being taken up into the .....

.... in eighteenth century literature and romantic poems, their descriptive natures and ideas they portray to the reader through their writing. Pope has written an eighteenth-century poem which he calls, "An Hero-Comical Poem." This poem has exalted an over all sense of worthlessness for common rules. The mentioning of Achilles and the ever- popular Aeneas, are symbols of Pope's Gothic style. Pope speaks (almost) G-D like throughout, "The Rape of Lock." Contrary to Keats, who is more down-to-earth with his sense of realism in his writings. In the beginning of Keats romantic pr .....

.... rescue another person out of there. Great lengths were taken to help Dante return back to the straight way. I do not believe such action was taken if Dante was to end up in hell all along. For some reason midway in Dante's life's journey he had gone astray and at this point was searching for answers. I guess hell was as good a place to start the search as any place. Something for sure had led him astray and Dante was going to find out what it was. Strange as it may seem Dante did find the answers he was looking for in hell. Dante had entered into an awful place full of darkness and .....
