Violence On The Tube
Number of Words: 1460 / Number of Pages: 6
... Children in day-
care centers often watch Sesame Street. There are filmed and videotaped
versions of great works of literature such as Orson Welles' Macbeth. Nearly
every school shows films of laboratory experiments.
But what of our viewing outside of the classroom? Television is also
one of our major sources of informal observational learning. According to Sweet
and Singh, viewing habits range from the child who watches no television at all
to the child who is in front of the television nearly all waking hours. They
say that on average, children aged 2 to 11 watch about 23 hours of televis ...

Hamlet: Ophelia And Gertrude
Number of Words: 2030 / Number of Pages: 8
... character is the one character in the play that I believe does not
develop but rather stays identical to the scene in which she is introduced(Act I,
scene II). She is shown to be a quiet, "stand by your man" type individual who
is easily influenced.
This is my belief because in the second scene of the play, Hamlet is
shown to be crushed by his mother's hasty remarriage. If marriage within the
family was common in the days of Shakespeare, then this is understandable, but,
in any other case, this would be considered an act of betrayal that was
obviously brought on by some outside pressure, probably f ...

Dramatic Irony And Characters In Shakespeare's Romeo And Juliet
Number of Words: 2804 / Number of Pages: 11
... Father? No. / I have
forgot that name and that name's woe." (Act 2 Sc. 3 Ln. 48-49) Romeo easily
forgets about the girl he was so sad about and Juliet replaces his memory
of her with happy ones. "O, I am Fortune's fool!" (Act 3 Sc. 1 Ln. 142) He
felt that fate liked to play around with him.
I think Romeo was thinking about why all this death and fighting
was happening around him throughout most of the book. He was contemplating
love and hate basically. Juliet never left his mind. Even when he was
banished that was all that he could think about; being with Juliet again.
When he found out that she had ...

... side of the window. Neither Marlowe nor the viewer know the mysterious person watching Marlowe through the windows. Keeping the viewer on the edge of their seat plays a key role in why these movies are so popular even though they are over 50 years old. Film noir movies might also keep attracting people because noir films are not regularly shot today for the mainstream movie theatres and the lingering intrigue about black and white, good 7and evil and night and day contained within each movie.
The uses of dark areas, deserted places, and quiet talking create a scary or even unsafe atmosphere an ...

Macbeth: A Good Man
Number of Words: 511 / Number of Pages: 2
... of a good man by portraying what a bad
one was not. In Macbeth's darkest hours, he showed no sign of prudence and
logic as he slayed king Duncan, and hired assassins to murder his friend
Banquo. Macbeth displayed his temerity in act IV scene 1 saying, "_from
this moment The very firstlings of my heart shall be The firstlings of my
hand. And even now, To crown my thoughts with acts, be it thought and done;_
"
Macbeth was no longer the logical, thinking man whom many admired. He had
become reckless, acting with only his passion and not his mind. The
tragedy of the murders he brought on fair S ...

The Setting In "A Doll's House"
Number of Words: 162 / Number of Pages: 1
... in Europe in the nineteenth-century. During this
time women were discriminated. against. This simple fact affects the whole
play's outcome. A young woman by the name of Nora is under the control of
her husband. He feels that he must rule her for he is the head of the
family. He would place small stipulations on her such as not being able
to eat macaroons. When she would make mistakes, he would refer to her by
some little name like, "Lark" or "Squirrel."
All of these things mentioned ar due to the setting. This caused Nora
to want to leave more and more. I believe Ibsen picked this setting to ...

... Monet soon left Le Havre to spend a large part of his life travelling throughout Europe, he returned frequently to visit his old friend. The interest that had been sparked some years earlier was refined and shaped and Monet was in no doubt as to the extent to which his outlook on life had been altered:
My eyes were finally opened and I understood nature; I learned at the same time to love it.
Boudin may have opened Monet's eyes, he may have even convinced the young painter to break with tradition and finish his paintings outdoors, but the young protogé had yet to truly experience the country's capi ...

Comparing Washington And Macbeth: The Fate Of A Nation
Number of Words: 487 / Number of Pages: 2
... However, Washington's
ambitions were not to become a dictator, or king. He believed that power
did not come from controlling others, but from the honor and respect that
was given to him. Washington knew that this power would only come from
subordination to civilian authority. He would be a precedent by being the
first general to turn down his immense powers. With these actions,
Washington assured the success of a new democratic nation.
MacBeth, like Washington, was power hungry and very successful in war.
However, he felt that power came from wealth and control over his
subordinates. As a k ...

... he come; and he and I shall watch thy waking, and that very night shall Romeo bear thee to Mantua." (Act 4, Scene 1), he tells Juliet how everything will be all right. Unfortunately, for all his good intentions the play still ends in tragedy.
Friar Lawrence is a man who is not afraid to take risks when he feels it is neccesary to help someone. For example in Act 2, Scene 6, when he marries , he is risking his reputation as a Friar so he can help the two lovers. Also, when he says "Take thou this vial, being then in bed, and this distilled liquor drink though off;" (Act 4, Scene 1), he is suggesting ...
