Murder In The Cathedral
Number of Words: 625 / Number of Pages: 3
... traveled along the path of repentance. But even as Becket makes his peace with God, the king's revenge is still impending. Eliot has written a beautiful play that alternates between being powerful and preachy. In certain scenes, the characters address the audience directly. These asides, combined with the intimate and cold atmosphere of the Telengtan Hall, draw the audience into the play. The cast performed well, breathing emotion into Eliot's lyrical lines, often in a choral reading style. The music, costumes and makeup definitely have to be applauded as it did add to the whole foreboding effect of t ...

Othello 5
Number of Words: 1801 / Number of Pages: 7
... as the actor playing Iago was good and convincing at talking to the crowd and making us realise that it is the enemy within we should fear most.
Some people could argue that Iago was extremely lucky to have all the opportunities put in front of him, such as Emilia finding Othello's handkerchief. I, however believe that whatever the situation, Iago would be able to take the situation, and therefore Othello's downfall was imminent. An example of this would be in Act III, Scene III. Iago says, 'Look to your wife; observe her well with Casio,' which is taking advantage of knowing that Desdemona will try ...

Scarlet Letter 2
Number of Words: 786 / Number of Pages: 3
... in which they write and they follow this style through all their works. Nathaniel Hawthorne is no exception to this. In the Scarlet Letter and in The Ambitious Guest Hawthorne uses the same writing style for both so they have many similarities. Some of these similarities include references to symbols such as the forest, death, solitude and light. Although the plots are very different, main themes shine through in both stories.
In both stories, the forest is a place of solitude. In the Scarlet Letter Hester and Dimmesdale talk freely to each other in the forest because the forest is a lonely place w ...

Guilt, Duty, And Unrequited Love
Number of Words: 2312 / Number of Pages: 9
... involved the classic love triangle. Such conflicts as the love triangle keep the story moving. Common elements of triangles in today’s soaps consist of lust, greed, jealousy, any of which are interchangeable with the conflicts resulting from situations involving lovers coming back from the dead or paternity uncertainties. Yet love triangles, whether in the soap opera or in the novel, are not all uniformly constructed. James Joyce’s The Dead and Thomas Hardy’s Jude the Obscure, both modernist novels, each contain love triangles as an integral element of the story.
The key triangles I will f ...

Beloved By Toni Morisson

... pieced together, the whole picture of slavery, Sethe's act, and its aftermath emerges.
A universal characteristic of the survivor's tale is the subjectivity and incompleteness of the survivor's knowledge. The author works to provide a more objective view of events by including several storytellers. Digression also provides a more complete picture by including minute details, such as the story of Miss Amy Denver and her love of velvet. Entwined with digression is regression. The story is told in the present, referring back to different points in the past. These references are interrupted, and jumbled ...

A Separate Peace And A Real Wa
Number of Words: 3308 / Number of Pages: 13
... him, and he carries the stamp of that passing moment forever. (32)
This statement explains that Gene must have something that is his “stamp.” This stamp appears to define an individual-exemplifying what he stands for. It is found that this is true in the next paragraph where Gene continues, “For me, this moment-four years is a moment in history-war the war. The war was and is reality for me. I still live and think in its atmosphere” (32). Later in the same paragraph he goes on to say:
America is not, never has been, and never will be what the songs and poems call it, a land of plenty. Nylon, meat, gaso ...

Battle Royal 2
Number of Words: 863 / Number of Pages: 4
... the story, one would find that the summation of all the symbolism is equal to not only the struggle of this black boy, but the struggle of blacks at the time in which the story takes place. I think that if one were to analyze the grandfathers dying words, one would find the view of most conformist black Americans. The only way for a black person to excel at
that time was to conform to the white society. Any rebels that tried to stand up for their rights were most likely killed by anti-black groups, such as the KKK.
There was one symbol in the story that stood out especially in my mind and that was ...

A Midsummer Nights Dream Chara
Number of Words: 794 / Number of Pages: 3
... has “sparkling eyes and a lovely voice”.
Hermia is very set in what she wants from the very first scene. She has eyes only for Lysander.So obviously she is very faithful. Even when faced with the decision her father gave her she did not waver for a second in her love for him.
Throughout the story Hermia’s emotions were kind of tossed around and at one point she even says, “ Am I not Hermia? Are you not Lysander? (Act III Scene 2 line 274). So we see that she gets a little confused and a bit hurt when hurt feelings we cast aside. At that point in the story I think she lost a part of her self. She h ...

Much Ado About Nothing 2
Number of Words: 733 / Number of Pages: 3
... must devise a way of attaining the love amid Benedick and Beatrice. In Act II Scene iii the men accomplish this by way of waiting for Benedick to be within ears reach, then raising the topic of Leonato's niece Beatrice. Don Pedro’s reference about “your niece Beatrice was in love with Signor Benedick.” helps to accomplish such manipulation. This scheme is completed when this is overheard by Benedick, and due to his insecurity about love he falls for their trick, thus loving Beatrice.
Another example of manipulation that is closely related to the one involving Benedick but Beatrice be ...
