... a puzzled smile to the next. I remember how in 1964, only twenty years after the war, Harold Clurman, the director of "Incident at Vichy," showed the cast a film of a Hitler speech, hoping to give them a sense of the Nazi period in which my play took place. They watched as Hitler, facing a vast stadium full of adoring people, went up on his toes in ecstasy, hands clasped under his chin, a sublimely self-gratified grin on his face, his body swivelling rather cutely, and they giggled at his overacting.
Likewise, films of Senator Joseph McCarthy are rather unsettling--if you remember the fear he once ...

How Do The Attitudes To Love E

... to get his girlfriend into bed by saying that if they had all the time in the world they could spend a lot of time together and he would really take his time over her, worshipping her as if she were sacred:
“An hundred years should go to praise
thine eyes, and on thy forehead gaze.
Two hundred to adore each Breast:
but thirty thousand to the rest.”
Marvell clearly exaggerates the time into years, which adds to the full effect of this idea of her being worshipped upo ...

Scarlet Letter:bewilderment At

... to correspond to her guilty image.
At the court house, when Arthur Dimmesdale was pleading for Hester to reveal the name of the man with whom she had an affair, it was clear that a part of him actually wanted everyone to know that it was he who was the guilty one. "Be not silent from any mistaken pity and tenderness for him; for, believe me, Hester, though he were to step down from a high place...better were it so, than to hide a guilty heart through life,"(47). When this plea is made, it at first glance appears to be quite ironic. The actual man who committed the crime is trying to convince hi ...

... calls off the wedding. When he discovers the truth, they marry immediately. In both plays love is the bond that holds the lovers together, in spite of many obstacles the two face.

The nurse makes it possible for Romeo and Juliet to be married by relaying information between the two. In Much Ado About Nothing, Beatrice and ...

Ghost House - Compared To 4 Other Poems
Number of Words: 1621 / Number of Pages: 6
... he believes to be a dot on the paper but really to be a mite. The old man then starts to think about the value of life. The theme of the poem is that there is no such thing as an insignificant speck. Everything and everyone has a purpose for being here. This poem is filled with alliteration. Some examples I found are: cunning crept, tenderer-than-thou, and breathing blown (Silberner 98). Mind is repeated three times in the final stanza. Also there were two instances in which Frost used assonance room for and living mite. The rhyme scheme of the first stanza of "A Considerable Speck" is A ...

The Rest Are Just Boys Clubs
Number of Words: 722 / Number of Pages: 3
... I knew everyone. The fraternity has opened new doors for me, I’ve met so many people through them, relationships that I hope will be around for many years to come.
I wish everyone thought of fraternities as I do, but that is not the case. They are often thought of as ignorant drunken souls banding together because of common interests, booze. From time to time I get asked how it feels to have to buy my friends, jokingly of course, but it still angers me, because it means so much more to me than that. Ignorant, not by any means. To even be accepted into the fraternity you have to have a cumulativ ...

... Empire. Shakespeare’s account tells of a recent victory over Pompey but does not say that Caesar returned from a massive campaign. In Komroff’s account, The conspirators had planned for much longer than the other authors recorded. Komroff wrote that the conspirators convinced the Senate to offer Caesar the crown. The conspirators then placed a crown on a statue of Caesar that was quickly torn down by Caesar’s friends. "Then, a few days later, as he was riding through the streets of Rome, a crowd of people who had been led on by the Aristocrats hailed him as King" (Komroff 161-162). The final ...

Plato Vs. Materialists
Number of Words: 1861 / Number of Pages: 7
... Opponents of Plato, such as materialists, have claimed that the ideas were nothing more than names people have attached to the objects they perceive. Names of individual objects and of classes of objects are merely ways of organizing perceptions into knowledge. People see one animal they decide to call "dog." All similar animals are called "dogs," and a whole category of animals is thereby named without any reference to eternal ideas or forms. Materialists insist that all activities of mind and emotion are based on physical properties. One example of accounting for this is that thought i ...
