Number of Words: 1217 / Number of Pages: 5
... out on a limb because she is dissimilar to the other women of her time. I believe that it is here that Moliere foreshadows the importance of Dorine's a character. Later on in the play she will play a crucial role in saving Mariane, her counterpart, from marrying Tartuffe, and ultimately saving Orgon's family by bringing about plans to reveal Tartuffe's manipulative and deceitful character. It is important that Dorine is so outspoken because if she were not Mariane would surely have married Tartuffe. Moliere portrays Mariane as a typical woman of the time.

Romeo + Juliet: An E Ticket Ride
Number of Words: 745 / Number of Pages: 3
... One could say that
there are visually emotional subtitles throughout the movie directing the
audience to understand and engage in the most famous love story in an entirely
new way. One can argue that this version of Romeo and Juliet would be
understood even without spoken words. The camera-work tells the story as
clearly as the text. There are very few moments in this movie when the camera
stops moving. Like Oliver Stone's Natural Born Killers the editing is fierce
and in your face. There is little time to think as the perpetual images flash
across the screen. And it works. You become entrance ...

... on the gray wall and no furniture except a bunk bed, of which whomever slept on top had to be careful to not bump his head on the ceiling. The poor weren’t even sure who their roommate would be until they boarded the boat and found their room.

She was engaged to marry a man from an equally wealthy family, but she wasn’t happy. Her fiancé was abusive and demanding. One night, she was attempting to kill herself by jumping off the boat, when Jack ...

Number of Words: 1505 / Number of Pages: 6
... plot. They already knew the story of Oedipus, which Sophocles used to his advantage. With well known plots the people's minds were open and Sophocles's messages were beaten into them. Almost like subliminal messages.
But what messages would Sophocles wish to push on his audiences?
Well, at the time, the people of Athens were declining in moral values, they were losing faith in the Gods, mistreating people lower than them and taking part in thefts, murders and other sins. They were also becoming religious hypocrites, only using the Gods at their own convenience. Sophocles wished to change al ...

... the future, nor shaken up about what was to happen.
However, that one trait did not alone take away his position of high authority. Oedipus displayed anger throughout the whole story, which did not help him at all. During the story, we learn of Oedipus’ anger as he knocked a passerby at the meeting of the three highways; “ I being enraged, strike him who jostled me…” (pg. 29). Later, this passerby whom he angrily and quickly killed, was revealed to be Laios, Oedipus’ father. Oedipus’ anger is also shown as he begins to insult Teiresias by calling him an old man; “Blind as you are in eyes, and ears, ...

Number of Words: 1757 / Number of Pages: 7
... Juliet right at the beginning of the
scene through the use of light imagery. He declares:
"It is the east, and Juliet is the sun. Arise, fair sun, and kill the
envious moon … Her vestal livery is but sick and green"
Romeo connects the pale moonlight with sickness and grief and says that
only fools have anything to do with it. Here Romeo refers to how foolishly
he fell in love with Rosaline. He could also be referring to the court
jesters. In those days Elizabethan court jesters wore a chequered costume
of pale and green which is why he said
"none but fools do wear it."
Romeo's comparison of Jul ...

... crop”, Iowans found that farming had become the ideal way of life. Working on the farm involved all of the members of the family, which brought them together and made them stronger through hardships and great opportunities.
Draft horses used for plowing later became a luxury and farming soon lost its fun and joyful qualities. It was a time of greater hardship than ever before, but the freedom Iowa farmers had to work, worship, live, and play in their own way made it worth the despairing times.
Towns of all sizes began growing throughout Iowa. With them came churches, schools, businesses, and ...
