... the stresses of battle must be and uncountable times
worse. Othello seemed to be and was mentioned as a good leader with 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,
like stepping off a curb in front of a moving vehicle. He must commit some
terrible crime for which he is punished. People of the Elizabethan Period were

Century was a period of almost constant rui ...

Last Of The Mohicans: Contrast And Comparison Of The Book And Movie
Number of Words: 434 / Number of Pages: 2
... in the movie, but neither was the
character of Gamut.
The movie not only left out a character, it left out other scenes.
One such scene would be when Uncas Chickengook and Hawkeye join Cora, Alice,
Duncan, Maugua, and Gamut.* When these characters join the party, they tell
Duncan that Maugua is a Huron spy. Duncan decides to question Maugua, but
when he does, Maugua runs away. When Maugua begins to run, Duncan wants to
chase him, but Uncas, Chickengook, and Hawkeye see that it is not wise to
chase him, because there might be more of his tribe near. This is not only
dissimilar to the movie, but in the ...

... in Rain Man. Chow retains his intuitive
skill at playing cards, but now he must be pacified by constant pieces of
chocolate that he scarfs greedily, goofy smile on his face. Blowing smoke,
dangling his toothpick, eating chocolate, or just smiling ... ultimately, when
trying to explain why Chow Yun-Fat is cool, it comes down to his mouth.
Everything I have said so far describes a subjective reaction to watching Chow
Yun-Fat on the screen. Fill in the name of your favorite actor or actress,
change the specific references, and this could be your essay. We don't learn
anything new from such subjecti ...

The Merchant Of Venice: A Tragic Play
Number of Words: 793 / Number of Pages: 3
... genius to compose the great and
wonderful things that he did. The Merchant of Venice is excellent in it's way
of describing the characters. The emotion is spread out thoroughly like warm
butter on hot toast. The tragedy in The Merchant of Venice is believable and
almost true in a sense of my opinion in relating to greed, human desire, and
most important let not forget, anguish.
Throughout The Merchant of Venice there are many strong feelings
displayed through powerful lines of contemporary nature, to be truthful.
William Shakespeare most likely wrote this play The Merchant of Venice to

Movie Review: The Color Purple

... if any,
respect toward the original story, by Alice Walker. He slaughtered a story most
people had heard of, but never read. I thought the movie itself was rather good.
It had it's own good and bad points. Up until about when Sofia left Harpo, they
were almost identical. After that they are almost two different stories with
the same ending.
The movie was written purely for entertainment. It added a small number of
scenes, but cut more than it added. Also, it emphasized different parts of the
story than the book. The film is about a young black girl growing up in the
south, abused by, first, he ...
