... been played at a funeral at one point in time.
The other type of music I found was song scoring. Since the story took place in the 50’s of 60’s, most of the songs were from that time period. They usually came at points in the movie when nothing much else was happening. Either that or it was source music coming from the radio in the car. It mostly reminded me of care free living, and growing up listening to this type of music in the car with my parents. The few examples that I have are when they are walking down the railroad tracks and there was a song in the background. Another was when the olde ...

Ambiguity And Equivocation In Macbeth
Number of Words: 1192 / Number of Pages: 5
... for this in his reaction to the witches' prophecy
that he will be king. After Macbeth is made Thane of Cawdor, he realizes
that the witches were right, and immediately begins to ponder the other
part of their prophecy. "My thought, whose murder yet is but fantastical,"
(I.iii.153) he thinks, bringing murder to the front of his mind almost as
soon as the witches are proven right. Later in the play, Macbeth's desire
for power, encouraged by the witches, leads him to kill the king and assume
the throne.
Macbeth and his wife use ambiguity and equivocation themselves in
pursuit of power.

The Painting Of Pygmalion And Galatea: A Sensual Embrace
Number of Words: 775 / Number of Pages: 3
... the artist was working on his delicate sculpture when suddenly he felt her flesh tremble. Gérôme's illustration suggests that Pygmalion, after realizing Galatea was no longer a lifeless slab of stone, dropped the mallet and rushed to her side, instantaneously taking her into his arms.
It is evident that Galatea's form is no longer that of a lifeless sculpture. Her plain, ivory skin and sinuous curves are seen from a backside view. Her lower body remains stone-like and chalky, but the oblique right angle of her torso suggests movement and is given life with the added blush coloring. Her left elbow is u ...

... took him on a pilgrimage to Rome. He returned home to Scotland while
in his late twenties to raise crops and a family. He soon was married to a
girl he knew as a kid in secret so that none of the guards could enforce
the law of Primal Nuctar, which is to bless the marriage by sleeping with
the bride. He tried to dodge the law but failed. He fought off the
soldiers of the king for what he knew was right. But his wife was
captured and killed for assault on a king's guard. This is what made
William know for sure that he would fight for his countries freedom so no
one else would ever have to suffer agai ...

Antigone: Who Is The Strongest Tragic Figure?
Number of Words: 773 / Number of Pages: 3
... to herself. She demonstrates her indulgence
in glory best in the scene where she and Ismene are sentenced to death but
Antigone will not let her sister die. We can see Antigone has hubris but
her character is not developed enough to see her display of arrogance
steadily throughout the play as we can see in Creon.
With Creon, all the characteristics in being a tragic figure become
tied into one. First of all, Creon’s motive is he must rule and rebuild a
kingdom that was just a war between two brothers. After he has made the
decision to leave the body of Polynecies for the animals, he can not l ...

Oedipus: Villain He Is
Number of Words: 825 / Number of Pages: 3
... crimes. Oedipus repeatedly and falsely accused others of the crime that he committed, even though unknowing at the time. Even Creon tells him, "You cannot judge unless you know the facts" (1248). Creon tries to tell Oedipus to quit judging him because the facts, to Oedipus, were yet unknown. Another example of Oedipus habit of falsely accusing is a quote from Michael O'Brien, "Certain of Oedipus' past actions were fate-bound; but everything that he does on the stage from first to last he does as a free agent, often accusing others" (O'Brien, 23). This critic agrees with the fact that Oedipus has ...

To Kill A Mockingbird: A Movie Review

... part.
It is obvious that some of the phrases that were used by the children are
slightly forced, and unnatural. The language and vocabulary that were
utilized throughout the film I found to be fitting the characters. With
the acting, I was not impressed, however. It seemed to me that the acting
was very novice and awkward. Gregory Peck was the only actor that I felt
had much offerable talent in performing. I was disappointed by this aspect
to the movie. I did feel that the characters were believable, though. It
was obvious that the directing in this film was well done. The ideas
flowed toge ...

Macbeth: Plots For Murder

... line of children. Therefore, he wants to get Banquo and Fleance out of the way. His being the third murderer, in his mind, will help guarantee that the murder is completed and that the prophesy does not come true. The circumstances surrounding this plan also make it evident that Macbeth is involved. The night is approaching and it is dark, so the other murders cannot see who it is. Moreover, no other individual knew the exact details of the murder plans and when and where it was to take place. Furthermore, he is acting at the banquet when he pretends to see Banquo. His acting after Duncan's dea ...

Fate A Factor In Oedipus' Life

... mother and father because he cared. In doing this he kills his father of birth, and then he frees the people of Thebes from the plague of the Sphinx and inherits the throne.
It is no surprise Oedipus didn’t go insane. I guess to the result of this he gouged his eyes out. He did so many good things for his people and when it came time to find the killer of King Lais he did everything in his power to find them. He became his own worst enemy. "I am at the edge of hearing horrors, yes, but I must hear! Those words show that he was a stubborn fickle individual. Oedipus’ intentions were strong, h ...
