day would be remembered for centuries to come the sergeant says: "Or
memorize another Golgotha," this tells us that Macbeth would have gone
down in the books as Scotland's heroic warrior. Macbeth had two glorious
battles both of which he had won. from these battles and the sergeants
words we can truly say that Macbeth was a great warrior.
Macbeth is also to be portrayed as an insane man, but I think that
this is not to be true. An insane man is supposed to be delirious, make no
sense what-so-ever, and to enjoy the ...

Death Of A Salesman: Society's Alienation Of Willy Loman
Number of Words: 888 / Number of Pages: 4
... his job back. He was merely trying to take
Willy's position because he didn't believe Willy could hack it anymore. This is
a reflection of society's present day treatment of the elderly. Younger
generations now, move older people into rest homes and try to keep them out of
public view, for risk of embarassment. This is reflected by Howard's statement,
"I don't want you to represent us anymore." Society's assumption of Willy's
capabilities, in this case, cost him his job.
A second occurrance that displayed Willy's alienation happened in his
own family. Biff doesn't believe whatsoever in his fathe ...

"In Cold Blood" Review
Number of Words: 673 / Number of Pages: 3
... They
all seemed real and seemed to fit in with the setting and the time period.
I think that Hickock and Smith are not victims of forces beyond their
control, they are victims of, at least in Smith's case, a bad upbringing. The
two murderers have no direction in their lives. The only skills that Hickock
seems to know is how to steal things and how to write phony checks. Smith seems
more sane than Hickock, but all he has is his guitar and that is stolen in
Mexico. This is reason that these two resort to crime to solve their problems.
The film was very well structured in comparison to the book. ...

Othello: The Pathological Jealously Of Iago
Number of Words: 803 / Number of Pages: 3
... (line 21) Iago has been beaten by a Florentine with (as Iago
thinks) less military ability than him. This deep wound commands Iago to revenge.
Iago cannot bear Othello's being a superior figure. Iago comments on
Othello's going to war as "Another of his fathom they have none/ To lead their
business." (lines 153-154) Iago insults Othello's skin color profusely behind
his back. As the first part of his plan, Iago seeks to arouse Brabantio to the
fact that the Moor has "robbed" (line 88) him of his daughter. Iago refers to
Othello as an "old black ram/ tupping your white ewe." This tasteless ...

Star Wars: An Intergalactic Joyride

... achieved a witty and exhilarating synthesis of themes and cliches from the
Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers comics and serials, plus such related but less
expected sources as the western, the pirate melodrama, the aerial combat
melodrama and the samurai epic. The movie's irresistible stylistic charm
derives from the fact that Lucas can draw upon a variety of action-movie
sources with unfailing deftness and humor. He is in superlative command of his
own movie-nurtured fantasy life. Gary Arnold, Washington Post Staff Writer
Mr. Rothstein along the same lines as Mr. Arnold, mentions that Œthe plot line

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, ...

Hamlet - Appearance Vs. Reality
Number of Words: 1676 / Number of Pages: 7
... a man who loves and cares about his son, Laertes.
Polonius speaks to his son with advice that sounds sincere but in reality
it is rehearsed, hollow and without feeling. Polonius gives his advice
only to appear to be the loving caring father. The reality is he only
speaks to appear sincere as a politician, to look good rather then actually
be good: "And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry. This above all: to
thine own self be true, And it must follow, as the night the day, Thou
canst not then be false to any man. Farewell; my blessing season this in
thee!" Act 1
Polonius gives his son Lae ...

Motifs Of Birds In Macbeth
Number of Words: 469 / Number of Pages: 2
... death of Duncan is a perverted act, just as the death of the falcon is considered unnatural. "'Tis unatural/Even like the deed that's done. On Tuesday last a falcon, towering in her pride of place,/was by amousing owl hawked at and killed." The owl is a bird that typically symbolizes wisdom but in this case the mousing owl has killed a larger predator--a falcon. The mousing owl has usurped it's natural place in the order of the animal kingdom, just as Macbeth has killed Duncan. The old man, who we assume is wise is discussing these strange events.
Lady Macduff mentions the wren. She complains ...
