... of the machine instead of Willy, who i s fighting for his job.
Howard no longer need s Willy's services and without concern fires him.
This, to Willy, was like, "eating the orange and throwing away the peel".
However, Willy is partly to blame, as he does not accept change and wants
to remain in the pas t. This is foreshadowed in the scene where Willy is
left alone with the tape recorder and is unable to shut it off. Willy

Hamlet: Act V-Scene 2 - The Climax
Number of Words: 1119 / Number of Pages: 5
... the play:
- is't not perfect conscience,
To quit him with this arm? And is't not to be damn'd,
To let this canker of out nature come
In further evil?
It has been seen here a Hamlet who is still in doubt, still troubled by his
conscience; and his view should not be ignored, if only because it illustrates
once more the difficulties of interpretation. One may argue that there is no
need for Horatio to answer Hamlet's question since he has already expressed deep
shock at the latest evidence of Claudius' villainy. So the Hamlet in this scene
has resolved all doubts; there is no longer a kinda o ...

... that the ghost speaks, and only then after
Horatio has expressed his fears about Hamlet following it, "What if it
tempt you toward the flood, my lord, or to the dreadful summit of the
cliff."(1.4, 69-70)
The conversation between the ghost and Hamlet serves as a catalyst
for Hamlet's later actions and provides insight into Hamlet's character.
The information the ghost reveals incites Hamlet into action against a
situation he was already uncomfortable with, and now even more so. Hamlet
is not quick to believe the ghost, and thus an aspect of Hamlet's character
is revealed. Hamlet, having no suspicio ...

L’Atalante & Breathless Response Paper
Number of Words: 496 / Number of Pages: 2
... to do. Even though these few things made L’Atalante almost bearable, I didn’t especially like it.
Breathless, on the other hand, held my interest. There was a definite plot as well as plenty of action and romance. I also enjoyed it because I had the feeling that everything I would need to know about the characters was revealed from the beginning.
This film had a much more “stylized” mise-en-scene than L’Atalante.
Some aspects of the mise-en-scene that caught my attention were the costuming and acting styles. The Bogart-esque costuming and mannerisms of Michel aided in explaining his character. Ev ...

Tintern Abbey
Number of Words: 337 / Number of Pages: 2
... In
the poem Wordsworth describes the abbey as being in a river valley, with
rivers and streams surrounding it. It also implies that the building is
positioned near a cliff. Even the title itself proves that the view
portrayed by Turner is inaccurate. Lines Composed a Few Miles Above
Tintern Abbey: this means that the view would be a “bird's eye” one or a
distant view. Yet, Turner's painting is painted as if he is standing at
the entrance.
Tintern Abbey, by Joseph Turner, does not portray accurately or
compliment the Tintern Abbey described by Wordsworth in his poem. The
discordant mood ...

... will power that Fortinbras displays, he also criticizes him and his unattainable dream. “ The imminent death of twenty thousand men that for fantasy and trick of fame.” In this statement Hamlet is declaring that he thinks Fortinbras quest is meaningless and therefore deems it foolish. He is also compromising Fortinbras basic ability to reason. Throughout the play, Hamlets wishes that he could take actions and avenge his father’s death, but in this soliloquy he also states that he believes Fortinbras reasoning to be skewed. He believes that the actions of Fortinbras are incredibly simplistic and thus ...

A Doll House: The Disadvantage Of Determinism
Number of Words: 1364 / Number of Pages: 5
... presented with the problem of hereditary determinism, as she suffers as a result of her father's past; however, she does not suffer alone. This time Dr. Rank is limited by his father's history as well. Therefore, through the problems of determinism in society (gender role and hereditary determinism), one is deprived of freedom to be an individual in society.
The problem of hereditary determinism is one that certainly restricts a person from developing as an individual in society. Two characters in the play, Dr. Rank and Nora, demonstrate the lack of freedom one has as a result of hereditary determini ...

A Doll House: Nora
Number of Words: 712 / Number of Pages: 3
... He later questions her as to whether or not she has been “breaking rules” by eating a macaroon or two, which she denies. This shows us that Helmer’s control over Nora goes so far as to include the forbidding of sweets. More importantly, it shows us that Nora willfully disobeys Helmer’s wishes. It is in this small exchange that we see a hint of Nora’s character and that perhaps she is more than she appears to be. Through Nora’s conversation with Mrs. Linde in Act 1 we find out that, unbeknownst to Helmer, Nora procured the money for their trip to Italy without the assistance of her father as e ...
