(Shakespeare, 383)

Number of words: 763 - Number of pages: 3.... shows the family trait that she shares with her son when she states:
"He's a fine man, and should be listened to."(I, i ,44), while speaking of
Tartuffe. Although they share this trait throughout the play, Orgon's eyes are
finally opened at the end of the play while his mother is still held by the
farce of Tartuffe.
Although Tartuffe is portrayed as the main character of the play, Orgon is
the character who should really be paid attention to the most. As suggested in
an essay on "Tartuffe" audiences who concentrate on the character who titles the
work may miss the author's point: "… .....

their parents.
The setting for this movie is very appropriate. They are in Hong Kong
where the laws are not up to par with the American Style. This allows the
corrupt trades of Zhang, Griffith, and Alex to go on hardly disturbed by
the Hong Kong police.
The dominant theme in .....

Shakespeare' As You Like It: Effective Use Of Sound In Jaques' Speech
Number of words: 764 - Number of pages: 3.... two
sentences, before the actual ages begin, is the ‘aw' sound. The fluctuation
like that of a ring master, is striving to gain attention before the show starts.
The first three stages can be considered the childhood progressing into
adulthood stages. “Mewling and puking...” (2.7.144), are two words, which when
said, they are slurred and unclear, much like that of the speech of an infant.

children. Next we reach the schoolboy stage. Young men are often reluctant to
attend school, and their protests .....

Macbeth: Macbeth - A Tragic Hero
Number of words: 1015 - Number of pages: 4.... conclude that Macbeth's tragic flaw is his ambition;
that he is compelled to commit so many acts of violence by his lust for power.
However, by carefully examining the first act, one can determine the defect in

tragic flaw is not his ambition as most people believe, but rather his trust in
the words of the witches and in his wife's decisions.
At the beginning of the play Macbeth has no designs on the throne, and
he does not start plotting until his wife comes up with a plan. When first
faced with the witc .....
