.... evil demon. Macbeth’s life was forever changed by the witches’ prophecies. Lady Macbeth and the witches exploited Macbeth’s flaw, his flaw of being easily influenced. A true villain does not let others bring out the evil in them. They bring it out themselves. Macbeth was a man plagued by his own bad decisions. When Macbeth killed his king, he sealed his own fate. Macbeth knew that that would haunt him for the rest of his life. When Macbeth committed murder, he crossed over a line into a field of unspeakable evil, which he could never cross back. That murder sc .....

.... corner of the war, but he seems to have had no plan, to have improvised out of impulses that remained unclear even to himself. It begins with Schindler, a tall, strong man with an intimidating physical presence. He dresses expensively and frequents nightclubs, buying caviar and champagne for Nazi officers and their girls, and he likes to get his picture taken with the top brass. He wears a Nazi party emblem proudly in his buttonhole. He has impeccable black market contacts, and he's able to find nylons, cigarettes, brandy: He is the right man to know. The au .....

.... naturally Amanda expects the same of Laura “Stay fresh and pretty! It’s almost time for our gentlemen callers to be arriving. I don’t believe that we are going to receive any, Mother. What! No one-not one? You must be joking!” (35). Amanda is constantly trying to set up a caller for Laura everywhere that she goes. For Amanda it becomes and obsession. She also is upset that when they finally do get a caller that it has been the first one to the house “It’s a terrible, dreadful, disgraceful that poor little sister has never received a single gentleman caller! .....

.... engages in childlike acts of disobedience (259). This inferior role from which Nora progressed is extremely important. Ibsen in his "A Doll's House" depicts the role of women as subordinate in order to emphasize the need to reform their role in society. Definite characteristics of the women's subordinate role in a relationship are emphasized through Nora's contradicting actions. Her infatuation with luxuries such as expensive Christmas gifts contradicts her resourcefulness in scrounging and buying cheap clothing; her defiance of Torvald by eating forbidden .....

.... follow wholeheartedly and blindly, when others accuse. Is it perhaps simple human nature to fear and hate that which we do not know? Is the human race, as a whole, really this close to the swamps and oceans from which we pulled ourselves? Has evolution really just played some sort of immense prank on us, bestowing upon us the gifts of reason and judgment, but blurring them with prejudice and blind hatred? (Too many question...Not enough answers... Isn't that always the case?) The Crucible is an incredible book, through the medium of a historical event it .....

.... tension which powers the action and generates heat. When I noticed that the two plays this season had settings is Verona, I decided to find out a thing or two about the place. Reading the section on "climate" in Harold Rose's Yur Guide to Northern Italy, I noted that "Italy is a very hot place in the summer, also quite humid." After reading this I then realized that a great deal of the violence in Romeo and Juliet become more understandable; they're all short tempered because of the heat! This is even noted when Benvolio warns Mercutio that " The day is ho .....

.... from love to hate of Desdemona. In Act 3, Scene 3, Othello states, "If she be false, O, then heaven mocks itself! I'll not believe 't." (lines 294-295) Yet only a couple hundred lines later he says, "I'll tear her to pieces" (line 447) and says that his mind will never change from the "tyrannous hate" (line 464) he now harbors. Does Othello make the transition just because he is so successfully manipulated by Iago? Or is there something particular about his character which makes him make this quick change? I believe that "jealousy" is too simple of a term to .....

.... Angelo with Cupola Of St. Peters. Corot, throughout the course of a two-year trip in Italy, where he scouted the countryside of around Rome, painted many of his landscapes. Romantics focused on nature, but for Gericault this was true, but he also understood a romantic had to go to “extraordinary lengths in trying to achieve a maximum of authenticity” (Janson, 431-36). We see this example in his own painting “Evening: Landscape with an Aqueduct,” which was part of a set of three. The other two were called “Noon: Landscape With a Roman Tomb” and “Morning: Lan .....
