... Abigail: (smashes her
across the face). “Shut it! Now shut it!” Betty: (collapsing on the
bed). “Mama, Mama!” (she dissolves into sobs.) Abigail: “Now look you.
All of you. We danced. And Tituba conjured Ruth Putnam’s dead sisters.
And that is all. And mark this. Let either of you breathe a word, or the
edge of a word, about the other things, and I will come to you in the black
of some terrible night and I will bring a pointy reckoning that will
shudder you. And you know I can do it; I saw Indians smash my dear parents’
heads on the pillow next to mine, and I have seen some reddish ...

... responsibility. She encourages Juliet to continue to see Romeo secretly, even after he has been banished. She even says to Juliet: “I’ll find Romeo to comfort you. I wot well where he is. Hark ye, your Romeo will be here at night.” (3.2.138-140) And is clearly telling her to be with this outcast. The Nurse proves to be a traitor when she tells her to marry Paris, “Marry, I will; and this is wisely done.” (3.5.233) She did not guide Juliet on any one specific path, she was not responsible.
Friar Laurence is another example of someone who had a certain responsibility, but did not follow through w ...

... told the
Puerto Rican's and the American's that if they get into another fight they all

... in this essay, still ives. His work may
be found at the Whitney Museum of Art and at the Modern Museum of Art.
I chose to describe As I Opened Fire, by Roy Lichenstein. It was made in
1964 and is the the third of three panels in a narrative arrangement.
As I Opened Fire is magna on a canvas which is 68 X 56. Its composition
reminds of a comic book. It shows 2 guns firing of the side of a ship, with
letters on the top saying "That my ship was below them..." The color scheme
was very interesting. For backround, Lichenstein used grey-blue. For the
guns he used white, grey, and black, giving them a t ...

Number of Words: 1714 / Number of Pages: 7
... of a woman, so that she can become a sexless, pitiless demon. She has to make her husband ignore his own conscience. She declares: “ Thou wouldst be great, Art not without ambition, but without The illness should attend it.” By ‘illness’ she means ‘evil’. Macbeth seizes evil, as one might catch a disease. When Macbeth has the opportunity to think about his wife’s suggestions and about his desires to become King, he becomes aware of the duty that he owes to Duncan, his loyal King. Following a great battle with himself, Macbeth decides not to go through with the murder. He states to Lady Macbeth: “ We wi ...

Women In Macbeth
Number of Words: 1159 / Number of Pages: 5
... Upon hearing this Lady Macbeth says "O never/Shall sun that morrow see! She sees Duncans coming not only as an opportunity to murder Duncan, but also as a sign of fate. Lady Macbeth tells Macbeth that tonight he must act like "flower" but act like a quote "serpent under't". These small quotes show how scrupulous and cunning Lady Macbeth is. To further persuade him she tells him that if he follows her plan that he will have nothing less then the power of a king. Macbeth being lead by his wife like this gives me the view that Shakespeare wants us to sympathise with the character of Macbeth.

The Changes In The Movie Industry
Number of Words: 901 / Number of Pages: 4
... there was an explosion of ideas that would be presented to the United States.
The change in the U.S. can be said to be a social revolution. People were growing sick of the same old movies, they wanted a change and Hollywood needed to deliver or else they would lose their audience to the TV. In the early 60’s, the studios were still afraid of the blacklisting so the films were still very safe. An example of this is the film Sound of Music (1965). This was a film about a musical family that needed to escape the Nazi presence. Although the movie is based on a true story, they still follow the sa ...

The Cause Of Macbeth's Ruin
Number of Words: 1933 / Number of Pages: 8
... Ross, a Scottish noble, presents Macbeth with the title Thane of
Cawdor and here he realized that the prophesies are true. The veracity of these
prophesies disturb Macbeth because at this point he is already filled with the
notion of being king and murder as the way of attaining that title. Macbeth
even asks himself; "why do I yield to that suggestion, whose horrid image doth
unfix my hair and make my seated heart knock at my ribs" (Act.1, Sc.3,Ln.134-
136). This quotation shows that the thought of murder is not intentional
because he questions his own imagination, but caused by Macbeth's natural ...

Iago's Motivation
Number of Words: 1248 / Number of Pages: 5
... he brilliantly
determines how each character shall act and react. He is a pressing advocate of
evil, a pernicious escort, steering good people toward their own vulgar
destruction.
Iago must first make careful preparations in order to make certain his fire
of human destruction will burn with fury and rage. He douses his victims with a
false sense of honesty and goodness. And, as do most skillful pyromaniacs, Iago
first prepares his most important target, Othello:
Though in the trade of war I have slain men, Yet do I hold it very
stuff o'th' conscience To do no contriv ...
