A Streetcar Named Desire: Complexity Of The Main Characters
Number of words: 767 - Number of pages: 3.... as much as she respects her, Blanche strongly disapproves of her sister's new life. Stella tolerates Blanche's continual criticism of her husband, home and friends very well. From this and many other incidents throughout the play we see what a tolerant and adaptable person Stella is.
Stan and Stella's relationship is far from ideal. Stan is a violent man. On occasions he hits Stella, but comes after her to satisfy his sexual needs. This is not to say that Stella is unhappy in her marriage to Stan. She has adapted to the way of life in "Elysian Fields" where it's .....

Death Of A Salesman: Willy Loman - A Man With A Dream
Number of words: 1160 - Number of pages: 5.... believes that being well-liked and
having a personal attractiveness, together, can bring success, money, and many
friends. Ironically, Willy does not have many friends and many people do not
like him. With a beauty unlike others, Willy thinks that doors will open and
problems will all disappear.
As a salesman, Willy developed many hindrances that caused his mind to
deteriorate. His life as a salesman was built on a dream that he witnessed as a
child. At an early age, Willy heard of a salesman, Dave Singleman, who could
make his living out of a hotel room. S .....

Macbeth: Plots For Murder
Number of words: 382 - Number of pages: 2.... prophesy that Banquo will be the father of a line of kings. He sees this meaning one of two things, either the fate of himself, or the fate of his line of children. Therefore, he wants to get Banquo and Fleance out of the way. His being the third murderer, in his mind, will help guarantee that the murder is completed and that the prophesy does not come true. The circumstances surrounding this plan also make it evident that Macbeth is involved. The night is approaching and it is dark, so the other murders cannot see who it is. Moreover, no other individua .....

Hamlet: Shakespeare Tragic Hero
Number of words: 529 - Number of pages: 2.... decides to wait longer. The next time he gets a chance to kill
Claudius he takes it, but by then it was too late. Hamlet was killed as
well. He could have prevented his downfall if it wasn't for his tragic
flaw.
Another reason Hamlet is a classic example of Shakespearean tragedy
is because it incorporates the idea of catharsis. Aristotle defined
catharsis as the purging of the emotions of fear and pity. In the play,
Claudius has the emotion of fear because he is afraid of Hamlet knowing
that he killed his father. Claudius knows that Hamlet is capable of .....

Moore's "Roger And Me"
Number of words: 663 - Number of pages: 3.... to the school board (this was not done without
a fight; he had to sue the school board because they did not want to accept
a long-haired eighteen-year-old). When he was twenty-two, he founded and
became the editor of the Flint Voice, one of the nation's most respectable
alternative newsletters.
In 1989, Moore produced and directed a documentary entitled 'Roger
and Me', a political satire about his quest to convince General Motors'
Chairman Roger Smith to visit Flint, Michigan, and witness the devastation
brought by GM shutdowns. His movie quick .....

Hamlet: Duplicity
Number of words: 2210 - Number of pages: 9.... Hamlet says, "Seems, madam? Nay it is. I know not `seems.'
(1.2.76). This is to say "I am what I appear to be." Later In Act I,
Hamlet makes a clear statement about his state when he commits himself to
revenge. In this statement the play makes an easy to follow shift. This
shift consists of Hamlet giving up the role of a student and mourning son.
Hamlet says,
"I'll wipe away all trivial fond records, All saws of books, all forms,
all pressures past, That youth and observation copied there, And thy
commandment all alone shall live Within the .....

Crime Films
Number of words: 2050 - Number of pages: 8.... using the genre qualification, the industry is able to target
societal groups and try to produce and market what they want to see. The public
attends a film because they think they might enjoy some aspect of it. The film
genre follows a set of abstract rules that allows the public to informally
categorize films. These rules must be viewed from an flexible point of view in
order to legitimize their future existence. By using this method of
categorizing films the public is able to decide which films they wish to see and
those they do not. Some people love musi .....

Hamlet: A Sane Man
Number of words: 933 - Number of pages: 4.... states that from
this point forward I may act weird but to ignore my acts of madness for they are
just that, acts, and are in no way a sign of true madness. Only a sane and
rational person could devise such a plan as to act insane to convince others
that he is insane when he actually has complete control over his psyche.
Hamlet only acts mad when he is in the presence of certain characters.
When he is around Polonius, Claudius, Gertrude, Ophelia, Rosencrantz, and
Guildenstern he acts completely irrational. When Hamlet is around Horatio,
Bernardo, Fransico .....
