Westerns
Number of Words: 357 / Number of Pages: 2
... for a few hours becoming a
rugged individual who makes a difference as opposed to the faceless body that
may turn one screw hour after hour. Storylines variety was endless for the
west's story tellers. Any story could be written and placed as a western. The
love interest, hated villian and old enemy all fit in a western. If a writer did
not want to take the time to develop an enemy, one was readily available in the
native americans. The wests stories can be varied by switching points of view as
seen by the outlaw martyrs view, lonely marshall and wandering cow hands view.
The appeal of the wests s ...

Number of Words: 887 / Number of Pages: 4
... of him where his father's corpse is. Also he immediately declares that nothing can stop his "will, not all the world" and will "husband them so well" . He is ready to take revenge at any cost.
I dare damnation: to this point I stand,
That both the worlds I give to negligence,
Let come what comes; only I'll be revenged
Most thoroughly for my father.
In the scene of Ophelia's grave, Laertes' love to Ophelia is expressed when Laertes leaps into the grave and says
Hold off the earth a while,
Till I have caught her once more in mine arms:
Now pile your dust upon the quick and dead,
Till ...

Analysis Of The Final Scenes Of Alfred Hitchcock's Notorious
Number of Words: 1297 / Number of Pages: 5
... Hitchcock not only zooms in on the small teacup, but heightens the sound
it makes connecting to the table, includes it in every shot possible, and shows
us not only the full coffee cup, but the empty cup as well after Alicia has
drank it. Again, the cup is zoomed in on after Alicia realizes she's being
poisoned. Because the coffee is poisoned, the coffee itself becomes a metaphor
for life and death, supported by the fact that the poisoner herself ours it,
and the shots of the full and empty teacup. In this way, it also suggests
Alicia's inability to escape her situation—whenever she drinks the ...

Fate And Prophecy In Oedipus Rex
Number of Words: 629 / Number of Pages: 3
... it is unequivocal that he is trying to escape his own fate. When Oedipus is on his way from Corinth he runs into his real father and kills him and then defeats the Sphinx to become the new king of Thebes. After this first accusation the reader can see that not only is the king accused of murder but he has committed murder before. Oedipus unknowingly killed his own father but also married his mother. This trick of fate is indisputable when Jocasta tries to slight fate, “For God’s love let us have no more questioning! / Is your life nothing to you? / My own is pain enough for me to bear” (Sophoc ...

Who Is The Tragic Hero In Antigone?
Number of Words: 615 / Number of Pages: 3
... is the tragic hero of Antigone.
They say that his noble quality is his caring for Antigone and Ismene when
thier father was persecuted. Those who stand behind Creon also argue that
Antigone never had a true epiphany, a key element in being a tragic hero.
Creon, on the other hand, realized his mistake when Teiresias made his
prophecy. He is forced to live, knowing that three people are dead
because of his ignorance, which is a punishment worse than death.
My opinion on this debate is that Antigone is the tragic hero.
She tries to help her brother without worrying about what will happen to ...

... in Act 1, Scene 1, Line 141: "My noble uncle." Benvolio
is referring to Lord Montague, who is the father of Romeo. The Montagues are
also a rich family, and that is one of the reasons for the respect for Romeo.
"Verona brags of him... a bears him like a partly gentleman." This was said by
Lord Capulet in Act 1, Scene 5, Lines 65-66. This quote illustrates that even
Romeo's enemies know well of him and know that he is respected and talked about
by the citizens of Verona. Usually when a character is introduced as being
noble, the audience is aware that in the end of the play, the character will

... enemy at once. The fighting begins with the
confrontation of the two sides, as Cassius' and Brutus' armies arrive.
Antony and his partner challenge the assassins to fight, and the bloody
battle begins. The armies of the conspirators fall into vulnerability many
times, and their side does poorly, losing many men. Cassius hears
mistakenly that one of his important soldiers has been captured, loses hope,
and commits suicide, while Brutus feels that his army has been cornered,
and throws himself onto another man's sword, killing himself also. They
call off the rest of the battle, for Antony's army now ha ...

Julius Caesar: Conspiracy Theory
Number of Words: 1355 / Number of Pages: 5
... Usually the flaw leads to the protagonist's demise or downfall. Brutus' fatal flaw is that he is too trusting. Brutus is an honorable man, who foolishly believes that those around him are just as honest and noble as himself. He just wants what is best for the Republic, and the conspirators convince him that Caesar's death is the best thing for the people. When a person becomes too trusting he is easy to manipulate and the conspirators use him as a figurehead of sorts. With Brutus in front, the conspirators believe the assassination of Caesar will be looked upon differently by the people ...

was likely to disrupt existing families, which were of course regarded as
the essential foundations of any ordered, virtuous society(p.66)." The
Puritan influence is very prominent in excerpt from the previous quote,
