The Tempest: Drunk And More Drunk
Number of words: 516 - Number of pages: 2

.... and kill him. Who in their sober mind take on an all powerful sorcerer? This is quite amusing because it shows us how incredibly foolish we act when we are drunk. Of course their attempt to take on Prospero proves to be futile, instead they play dress up with his cloaks and when Prospero shows up, Stephano and Trinculo run for their lives and leave Calaban behind carrying the clothes they attempted to steal. Trinculo and Stephano were also quite amusing by being drunk throughout the entire story, they even stated that they wouldn't drink anything else until the wine ran out. .....

Falstaff's Role In Henry IV, Part One
Number of words: 921 - Number of pages: 4

.... that he can answer to the charge of being a coward. 2. That you (the reader) can detach Falstaff's frivolity from the play and it can exist for its own sake apart from the major theme of the drama. 3. That the play is really about the fate of the kingdom, and that you (the reader) do not connect Falstaff's scenes with the main action. This means that the play has no real unity. Starting with Johnson's first assumption, I do agree with this. Any discussion of Falstaff is bound to include a judgement about his moral character. Is he a coward, a thief, a glutton? No one .....

Hamlet: Chivalry
Number of words: 1913 - Number of pages: 7

.... of the word knight is trusted servant. This comes form the Anglo-Saxon word "cnyht" (De La Bere 35). The idea of a knight being a servant does not fit most people's ideas of knighthood or chivalry, but in essence that is what a knight is. A knight's duty is always to his king. The duality of these roles is what makes chivalry unique. (Barber 9). So where did chivalry get its start? Many believe it started with the barbaric Huns or the Roman Empire. Both civilizations had soldiers who can be called knights, but there is controversy over which really influenced what we now consider chiva .....

Shakespeare's Definition Of A Ghost
Number of words: 1195 - Number of pages: 5

.... loved one, tempting to procure the soul of one of the living. The nonbelievers among the Elizabethans saw ghosts as omens, telling of troubled time ahead, or simply as the hallucinations of a crazed person or group. Shakespeare recognized the complexity of the Elizabethan ghost's identity and played off of the confusion, making the question of identity a key theme to his play. Throughout Hamlet Shakespeare explores each of the possible identities of the ghost with each one adding a new twist to Hamlet's plight. When news of the ghost's presence first reaches Hamlet and Horatio, they declar .....

"Casablanca:" A New Perspective
Number of words: 517 - Number of pages: 2

.... bring a check to a man seated at a chess table to sign. The signature reads, "OK. Rick." By using this shot, the director makes clear to the reader, without any dialogue, that the man signing the check is Rick. This technique, however, is just the first of many used by Curtiz. The point-of-view shot is used by director Michael Curtiz to place the audience directly into the action. By placing the camera at the exact location and height of the character, the viewer of the film is 'inserted' into the character's body, making the scene more personal. Curtiz uses a slight variation of this typ .....

Also, Raskolnikov feared his sister, Dunia, was marrying Luzhin for the wrong reasons, so he interfered to try to save her from unnecessary pain and anguish. Macbeth and Raskolnikov each had flaws that led to evil actions; both characters had strong wishes and desires which they were not able to obtain patiently rather, they tried to develop their own extr .....

.... one point Old Capulet and his wife enter the vicinity of the brawl. This violent behaviour can also be seen in the older family members. At this point old Capulet says, “What noise is this, give me my long sword (I/i/73).” “My sword, I say! Old Montague has come and flourishes his blade in front of me (I/i/75).” The father is very forthright saying that he wishes to murder a Montague. His words demonstrate a cold hatred, and display heartless emotions towards his bitter enemy. The blind hate between the families becomes further developed as you progress in Act I Scene .....

The Taming Of The Shrew: Summary
Number of words: 1740 - Number of pages: 7

.... as it was customary for the older daughter to be married before the young one. Finally, Petruchio came along to court Kate, saying he wanted to marry wealthily in Padua. It appeared, though, as if Petruchio was the kind of man who needed an opposition in life. The shrewish Kate, who was known to have a sharp tongue, very adequately filled his need for another powerful character in a relationship (Kahn 419). When Petruchio began to woo Kate, everybody was rather surprised, but Signior Baptista agreed when Petruchio wanted marry her on Saturday of the week he met her. Clearly, he was not .....
