Anti-Semitism In The Merchant Of Venice
Number of words: 499 - Number of pages: 2.... still faces. Rather than
providing a forum for racism to grow, the play provides a forum for anti-racism
discussion, if all proper steps are taken. When I say if all proper steps are
taken, I am referring to having this play taught by a teacher, who can explain
the plays meaning in it's fullest so that the students do not miss any important
points from it.
Another point that may have been missed when the presentation was made to
the school board to ban the material from being taught inside the school system
was that everyone is bad in the play. The Chri .....

The Crucible: The Puritans
Number of words: 774 - Number of pages: 3.... and women we re
hung because of the paranoia and fear during the Salem witch trials.
The Puritans were a very proper and dignified society. Dancing was
considered evil and was something only the savages did. It was punishable
by whipping. In Act One, the girls were deciding whether to tell the truth
about what happened in the woods. Mary Warren said to Abigail, “Abby,
we've got to tell. Witchery's a hangin' error, a hangin' like they done in
Boston two year ago! We must tell the truth, Abby! You'll only be whipped
for dancin' and the other things!”(18) .....

An Analysis Of Hamlet
Number of words: 1356 - Number of pages: 5.... and unappreciated by Lear,
and Regan and Goneril who receive everything at his hands and betray him.
These themes of misplaced love and filial betrayal are mirrored in the
subplot of the play, the relationship between the Earl of Gloster and his
two sons, Edmund, who is supported and approved by Gloster and betrays him,
and Edgar, who unjustly becomes a fugitive from his father's wrath. The
mirror is whole. In it we view Cordelia's reflection and see Edgar, while
Regan's and Goneril's reflections, which are of one face, show us Edmund.
In the main plot ofHaml .....

Tragedy In Oedipus Rex
Number of words: 575 - Number of pages: 3.... grace in Oedipus Rex is when Oedipus, Jocasta, and all the
other characters in the story realize that Oedipus actually did murder Laius
and that Jocasta is indeed his mother as well as his wife. This occurs rather
quickly, very close to the end of the play.
The audience sees this coming long before it actually does, however. In one
of the passages of Oedipus speaking with Jocasta, just about everything is
spelled out for us. Jocasta speaks of Laius leaving the castle with just a few
servants and his being killed where three roads meet. Oedipus claims that he
k .....

Advertising - Good Or Bad
Number of words: 210 - Number of pages: 1.... is designed for one purpose - to sell. To acheive this goal,
advertises are willing to stretch and distort the truth, just to convincing
people to buy their product. For example, an advertiser may convince
buyers to purchase their product by stating that has been tested and found
superior. In reality, the product is not likely to be beter than any other
- the tests themselves doubtlessly conducted by the promoting company -
conducted to ensure at least something is superior about the product, even
if it is only the colour.
These advertisments are worded carefully so that they are telling the
"liter .....

A Man For All Seasons: Thomas More
Number of words: 592 - Number of pages: 3.... during his trials.
Early in the film, King Henry paid a visit to More, his chancellor.
During the visit, it became apparent that the King thought of Thomas as
more than a chancellor; he viewed More as a friend. Henry respected More's
opinion, and became extremely frustrated with his many attempts to persuade
More to accept the divorce. Finally, when the King realized that More
could not accept the divorce, he promised to exempt More from any decisions
pertaining to the divorce.
The leader of the divorce campaign was Thomas Cromwell, who was
next in line fo .....

The Last Wave
Number of words: 726 - Number of pages: 3.... control of
darkness. The film is shot in shadows and overall is very dark , almost forcing
us to look beyond the obvious plot and storyline and into the meaning or what
the film/director is trying to tell us. The darkness in the film can be seen as
unconsciousness. It can also be seen as a prediction of the darkness that will
occur in the world when the last wave comes. The last wave meaning a giant
tidal wave that will cover the earth , killing humanity. This idea is similar
to the Christian belief in the flood that was sent down centuries ago to destr .....

Analysis Of Albee's "Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woolf?"
Number of words: 758 - Number of pages: 3.... becomes more fluid and the remarks become
more poignant. This, in turn, increases the intensity of the insults
between George and Martha. For them prodding is a game of one-upmanship
with words their only weapon. As the play progresses the implications of
this become increasingly serious.
In an epic, Abrams explains that the "fate of a tribe, a nation, or
the human race" lies in the out come of the hero's battle. The battle
between George and Martha only affects their relationship and on this night
spills into the lives of Nick and Honey. Drunkenn .....
