King Lear: Lear The Tragic Hero
Number of words: 1626 - Number of pages: 6.... hero must appear in the play
as well. This makes men scared of blindness to truths which prevents them from
knowing when fortune or something else would happen on them.
Lear, the king of England would be the tragic hero because he held the
highest position in the social chain at the very beginning of the play. His
social position gave him pride as he remarked himself as "Jupiter" and "Apollo".

Richard III: Usage Of Imagery, Foreshadowing, And Irony
Number of words: 1761 - Number of pages: 7.... to share his thought with his own family as he is plotting against them. Thus, we are given hints of his physical, social and spiritual isolation which is developed throughout the play. But despite these hints, he still refers to himself as part of the House of York, shown in the repeated use of "Our".
The concept of Richard's physical isolation is reinforced in his dealings with Anne in Act I scene ii. She calls him "thou lump of foul deformity" and "fouler toad" during their exchange. Despite these insults, she still makes time to talk to Richard, and by the end of their exchange, she .....

King Lear: Justice
Number of words: 2230 - Number of pages: 9.... of justice prevailing for evil, and in Lear's case unnatural, acts.
Lear's ultimate fate is death. His early demise is a direct result of
breaching the "Great Chain of Being" which states that no mortal will

To shake all cares and business from our age,
Conferring them on younger strengths while we
Unburdened crawl toward death. . .1

Because Macbeth is ambitious, he wants to become king. In order to take over the
throne, he kills Duncan, and thus commits his terrible crime, and eventually is
punished.
The tragic hero must deserve his fate. He must not simply make a mistake,

The Media: Newspapers
Number of words: 1952 - Number of pages: 8.... be-fore you are told to turn to one of the inner pages. There is only nor-mally one large photograph on the front page but The Telegraph also has a humorous cartoon that relates to the main story. The photos in the broadsheet are needed to draw the reader’s attention to the paper but also to make the large blocks of text seem less intimidat-ing. The newspapers also have lots of advertisements.

Television And Its Affect On Our Lives
Number of words: 450 - Number of pages: 2.... breakthrough, I can receive
up to the minute coverage of breaking events around the world instead of
reading about it a day late in the paper. Television offers a picture to go
with the words unlike the radio. It serves as a quick and easy information
source for people who work. To read about a war in the paper is nothing
like experiencing it live through the TV where the words have a picture to
match them. The history channels allow me to see what life was like in the
twenties, the discovery channels show me what new technology is on the way,
and the geography channels show me par .....

A Marxist Criticism On "The Importance Of Being Earnest"
Number of words: 1419 - Number of pages: 6.... with his own sense of humor, but however it still leaves a very good

"‘No sir; it's not a very interesting subject. I never think of it
myself.'"
In this passage from the play it is very clear that Wilde likes to give
his characters .....
