A Doll House: Nora
Number of words: 712 - Number of pages: 3.... beginning of the scene she is eating some and hides the bag when Helmer enters the room. He later questions her as to whether or not she has been “breaking rules” by eating a macaroon or two, which she denies. This shows us that Helmer’s control over Nora goes so far as to include the forbidding of sweets. More importantly, it shows us that Nora willfully disobeys Helmer’s wishes. It is in this small exchange that we see a hint of Nora’s character and that perhaps she is more than she appears to be. Through Nora’s conversation with Mrs. Linde in Act 1 we find out that, unbekn .....

Hamlet: Hamlet's Decisions And Actions
Number of words: 890 - Number of pages: 4.... consider the nature of their actions due to the mental defect. In William Shakespeare’s play “Hamlet” Shakespeare leads you to believe that the main character, Hamlet, might be insane. There are many clues to suggest Hamlet is insane but in fact he is completely sane.
Throughout the play Hamlet makes wise decisions to prove he is not insane. He knows exactly what he is leading up to. He just delays to act due to his indecisiveness. An example of this is in Act III, section III, line 73, Hamlet says “Now might I do it pat, now ’a is a-praying, and now I’ll do it-and so ‘a goes t .....

Television - In Living Color
Number of words: 1244 - Number of pages: 5.... an inordinate amount of time spent in front of the television,
it's ability to target a specific audience, and it's ability to attack the
viewer on both the auditory and visual field.
The time spent in front of a television continues to grow with each
generation. The number of hours a child spends in front of a television
is rapidly overtaking even the number of hours that they will spend in
school. Included in their weekly television viewing are an extraordinary
amount of commercial messages. Before entering school, young children will
have formed many of their beliefs of what is g .....

Anti-Semitism In The Merchant Of Venice
Number of words: 499 - Number of pages: 2.... if all proper steps are taken. When I say if all proper steps are
taken, I am referring to having this play taught by a teacher, who can explain
the plays meaning in it's fullest so that the students do not miss any important
points from it.
Another point that may have been missed when the presentation was made to
the school board to ban the material from being taught inside the school system
was that everyone is bad in the play. The Christians portrayal was just as bad
as the Jewish man, Shylock's portrayal. In fact I think that the play gave a
worse portrayal of .....

The Cause Of Macbeth's Ruin
Number of words: 1933 - Number of pages: 8.... more" (Act.1,Sc.3,Ln.70). Later in the
same scene Ross, a Scottish noble, presents Macbeth with the title Thane of
Cawdor and here he realized that the prophesies are true. The veracity of these
prophesies disturb Macbeth because at this point he is already filled with the
notion of being king and murder as the way of attaining that title. Macbeth
even asks himself; "why do I yield to that suggestion, whose horrid image doth
unfix my hair and make my seated heart knock at my ribs" (Act.1, Sc.3,Ln.134-
136). This quotation shows that the thought of murder is not intentional
because he qu .....

Macbeth: Aristotelian Tragedy
Number of words: 1832 - Number of pages: 7.... The Episode is that entire part of a tragedy which is between complete
choric songs. The Exodos is that entire part of a tragedy which has no choric
song after it. Of the Choric part the Parodos is the first undivided utterance
of the Chorus." Shakespeare follows this precise arrangement of parts to tell
his story of Macbeth. Macbeth is divided into five acts. It contains a
Prologue, Episode, Exodus, Parodos and Stasimon, but is the only one of
Shakespeares plays that does not include Choric songs. This does not dismiss
Macbeth as a tragedy in the Aristotelian sense, because .....

He searched her innocent face for some sign of loving truth that might restore his faith in her. He took her mute terror for a sign of her guilt and found her to be a false person, like his mother. In his letter to her, he addressed the letter to "the most beautified Ophelia .....

Leonato and his family act as if Hero were dead, encouraged to this deception by, of all people, the Friar who feels that deception may be the way to get at truth and all the main characters in the plot pretend to Benedick and Beatrice so convincingly that they reverse .....
