Tennessee Williams' A Streetcar Named Desire: A Reaction, Assessment Of
Number of words: 2879 - Number of pages: 11.... Desire produces a very strong reaction. Even at
the beginning of the play, the reader is confronted with extremely obvious
symbolism in order to express the idea of the play. Blanche states that
she was told "to take a streetcar named Desire, and then to transfer to one
called Cemeteries". One can not simply read over this statement without
assuming Williams is trying to say more than is written. Later in the play,
the reader realizes that statement most likely refers to Blanche's arriving
at the place and situation she is now in because of her servitude to .....

The Reasons Why Macbeth Is More Guilty By His Actions Then Lady Macbeth Is By Hers
Number of words: 433 - Number of pages: 2.... both Macbeth and Lady Macbeth. The actual murder was done by
Macbeth, making him more guilty of the crime. Lady Macbeth just talked
about committing the crime, but she never actually went through with it nor
would she ever, and that is all that counts. Talking about committing the
incident is very different from actually doing it. Lady Macbeth did a
little more than just talk about it though. She also urged Macbeth into
doing it and that is what makes her part of this crime, but she is not as
guilty as Macbeth. He really didn't have to listen to what his wife .....

A Midsummer Night's Dream: Role Of Puck
Number of words: 474 - Number of pages: 2.... seem to fit in as
well. While Oberon and Titania belong to the forest and the world of dainty
fairies, a small village setting seems more appropriate for Puck. He is the
type of fairy that likes to be around mortals and cause them trouble, as opposed
to other fairies. This is why Puck's little job with a love potion and a young
couple is perfect for him and he perfect for the job.
Puck is a likable character who tends to create mischief around himself.
Everything is a game to crafty little Puck. Yet once he realizes that he has
caused a problem he .....

Henry IV: Hotspur Vs. Harry
Number of words: 1087 - Number of pages: 4.... Richard
for the throne. Hotspur is brave and valiant and has a good reputation with the
people, whereas Hal compared with Richard does not care for the welfare of the
country and spends his time entertaining himself with poor company.
Hotspur has nothing but disrespect for Hal. During the play he calls him:
'the madcap Prince of Wales'.
He thinks of Hal as an unworthy opponent. From Hotspur's point of view the only
real opponent is King Henry, and yet it is Hal, 'the madcap of Wales', who
vanquishes him in the end, much to his surprise and dismay. We .....

Hamlet: Ophelia And Gertrude
Number of words: 2030 - Number of pages: 8.... thick and through thin and loves unconditionally. Hamlet had suspected
her of aiding in the killing of King Hamlet. That will be discussed later.
Her character is the one character in the play that I believe does not
develop but rather stays identical to the scene in which she is introduced(Act I,
scene II). She is shown to be a quiet, "stand by your man" type individual who
is easily influenced.
This is my belief because in the second scene of the play, Hamlet is
shown to be crushed by his mother's hasty remarriage. If marriage within the
family was common i .....

Gothic
Number of words: 1178 - Number of pages: 5.... and southward to Bourges.
Within this restricted area, in the series of cathedrals built in the course of
the 12th and 13th centuries, the major innovations of Gothic architecture took
place.2
The supernatural character of medieval religious architecture was given
a special form in the Gothic church. "Medieval man considered himself but an
imperfect refraction of Divine Light of God, Whose Temple stood on earth,
according to the text of the dedication ritual, stood for the Heavenly City of
Jerusalem."3 The Gothic interpretation of this point of view was a cat .....

Review Of Shaw Shank Redemption
Number of words: 1135 - Number of pages: 5.... then in rage went out to buy a gun and one night he was
outside the guy's house while Andy's wife was in with him. The next day
came and the two bodies were found dead in each other's arms with bullet
wounds. All of the evidence pointed to Andy and he went on trial. The
judge asked him what he had done with the gun that he had bought. Andy
said that he had thrown it over the bridge after he had left the house, but
he hadn't been the one that shot them. He told the judge that he just left
before he did anything stupid and just threw the gun away. Andy .....

The Truth Of Suffering In King Lear
Number of words: 1240 - Number of pages: 5.... becomes enraged. He desires
to hear she loves him more than she could love anyone, ever.
Cordelia: Good my lord,
You have begot me, bred me, loved me.
I return those duties back as are right fit:
Obey you, love you, and most honor you........
That lord whose hand must take my plight shall carry
Half my love with him, half my care and duty.
Sure I shall never marry like my sisters,
To love my father all. (1.1.105-15)
Cordelia's plight is only one of the many truths Lear is unable to see.
Since he is king, he is told only what he wants to h .....
