Death Of A Salesman: Society's Alienation Of Willy Loman
Number of Words: 888 / Number of Pages: 4
... 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 father ...

The Effects Of Advertising On Society
Number of Words: 568 / Number of Pages: 3
... other
tactic used, however, is a bigger problem, being not only harder to identify but
having more problematic effects. Since society likes to think of the good as a
subjective thing, it would seem to be acceptable for advertisers to qualify
their products as being good. However, Adler shows that some goods (namely
needs dictated by human nature) are universal to all people. Advertisers
commonly exploit this by associating their products not with the apparent good
they are truly associated with, but with one of those real goods. Though these
products are by no means needs, the associations make peo ...

... may be a dream,
or could just be around for some unfinished business. We
also learn that Horatio is a scholar and trusted by Marcellus
and Bernardo. He serves as a reliable witness and conveyor
for Hamlet. Even scholars don't understand the unknown
(ghost).
Scene 2
6. This scene introduces us to the King Claudius, the antagonise.
We know this because Hamlet has bad feelings towards him.
7. The impression that I get of the character of Claudius from
what he says is that he is a man of decisive action and of
command. Same goes for his manner of ex ...

... he attempts to stop the fight. Future violence is foreshadowed when Benvolio says "Part, fools! Put up your swords; you know not what you do." (I, i, l60, 61). Benvolio draws his sword to beat down the weapons of the servants. This in turn causes more violence as Tybalt thinks Benvolio was involved in the fighting. Tybalt challenges Benvolio saying "What, drawn, and talk of peace! I hate the word, As I hate hell, all Montagues, and thee. Have at thee, coward!" (I, i, l66-68). Several citizens of the town join the fray. Soon town officers arrive and attack. When the Prince enters he says: "Th ...

Movie: Othello

... that he takes as a fact, even when the facts show
otherwise. Iago controls Emilia through her love that she has for him. He uses
her love of him to get her to steal Desdemona's handkerchief. Othello is
manipulated by suggestion and hints that are carefully worded and said at just
the right moment. Each one weakens his faith in Desdemona a little more. Then
Iago produces “evidence” to add weight to his innuendos. The evidence is so
believeably delivered and Othello already so incenced by Iago's words that
Othello does not even question the truth of what he sees. This skillful
manipulation of ...

The Crucible: John Proctor Is A Tragic Hero
Number of Words: 1446 / Number of Pages: 6
... one who
stands out or the audience can relate to. He is described as a "farmer in
his middle thirties" with a " powerful body" and a "steady manner", and is
already being established as the protagonist in which we sympathize
with.(p.19) Miller's choice to describe him in such a fashion is very
significant. By describing the tragic hero as a "strong, steady, farmer"
the dramatic effect is even greater. Who else better to fall victim to his
own personal freedom and the fear of others but the strong, stern
character? John Proctor's description also provides another outlet to
convey the dynamic na ...

Hamlet's Puzzling, Duplicitous Nature
Number of Words: 2154 / Number of Pages: 8
... to say "I am what I appear to be." Later In Act I, Hamlet makes a clear statement about his state when he commits himself to revenge. In this statement the play makes an easy to follow shift. This shift consists of Hamlet giving up the role of a student and mourning son. Hamlet says, "I'll wipe away all trivial fond records, All saws of books, all forms, all pressures past, That youth and observation copied there, And thy commandment all alone shall live Within the book and volume of my brain" (1.5.99-103).
Hamlet is declaring that he will be committed to nothing else but the revenge of his father's d ...

Gustave Courbet's Reclining Nude

... detail of her face in such a way that she could be almost anyone. She
gazes wistfully at the ground to her left.
The woman is rendered very softly and is in a very sensuous pose. This
picture would have been found scandalous for its sexual overtones as was
Courbet's La Demoiselles au bord de la Seine. A scarlet cloth lies in
front of her; it has a very rumpled look which has sexual implications. The
vacant, wistful look and the languid crossing of her arms suggests that she
is thinking of a lover who has just left her. The careful shadowing of her
facial features leads one to believe she ...
