Powder

model. In general, this idea could work, but the writer of this particular film

Number of words: 649 - Number of pages: 3.... and “unsex[ed],” for her womanly “moral thoughts” will do her no
good. Her eagerness to succeed in being the queen of Scotland pushes her
beyond her own moral boundaries.
Macbeth, on the other hand, agrees that Duncan must be slain in
order to attain the crown but unlike Lady Macbeth, he is weary. He is
weary because of the fact Duncan “built an absolute trust” with him and “
honour’d him.” Lady Macbeth goes as far as to accuse him of having no

at this time before the murder, .....

Number of words: 1297 - Number of pages: 5.... as she slowly takes a sip. In a later scene, Mrs. Sebastian pours the
coffee into the cup for Alicia, and sets it on a small table in front of her.
Here, Hitchcock not only zooms in on the small teacup, but heightens the sound
it makes connecting to the table, includes it in every shot possible, and shows
us not only the full coffee cup, but the empty cup as well after Alicia has
drank it. Again, the cup is zoomed in on after Alicia realizes she's being
poisoned. Because the coffee is poisoned, the coffee itself becomes a metaphor
for life and death, supporte .....
