Number of words: 819 - Number of pages: 3.... he set in them very low moral values. For example, Willy told Biff
and Happy to run up the street and steal some sand to finish some steps,

father, which proves to haunt him his entire life. Willy was also a cheat,
whether it was adultery or simple card cheat, his dishonesties certainly
rubbed off on his children, and proved to be the downfall in their lives.
On the other hand, Willy affected more than just his sons life
with his deceit. He greatly altered his own when he was caug .....

The Rules Of The Game: Andre’s Arrival At La Coliniere
Number of words: 1375 - Number of pages: 5.... Because the rainstorm coincides with Andre’s arrival, there is a good possibility that Renoir is foreshadowing Andre’s death.
The scene begins as Christine and Madame La Bruyere enter the foyer, talking about children’s sore throats. The two halt as they see the arriving aviator, and Christine’s clenched hands and rigid, immobile posture make notable expression of the tension she feels regarding their forthcoming meeting. Rather than cutting, the stationary camera tracks ninety degrees until it is behind the two women. The continuous camera movement revea .....

Number of words: 612 - Number of pages: 3.... take over. He kept stubborn in the search for the truth about his birth even though everyone around him advised him not to continue. Because he thought he was justified in his search, he continued and found nothing but disaster. Both the plays Oedipus and Oedipus at Colonus describe what happens to us individuals when we let our human nature take over and blind us.
In the final play "Antigone", the tragic hero is King Creon. In the previous plays, King Creon seemed like a reasonable man who would listen to other people's advice (unlike Oedipus). Howeve .....

Number of words: 1582 - Number of pages: 6.... They invite the trucker in to eat, because they had an extra seat at the

Macbeth: Macbeth A Victim Of Circumstances
Number of words: 595 - Number of pages: 3.... makes him the way he is. This is why I consider it a circumstance
where others may not. Macbeth is weak. He gave in to his evil side by even
considering murdering Duncan. We can see him questioning himself in his aside
in Act I scene 3 "Why do I yield to that suggestion whose horrid image ... Are
less than horrible imaginings;"6. He cannot seem to be able to control his
thoughts. He lets his ambition to become king run a wild. The murder of Duncan
is the first and biggest step in Macbeth's moral degradation. From here evil
deeds become easier because h .....

Measure For Measure - Critique
Number of words: 447 - Number of pages: 2.... with boredom (e.g.
Isabella's laughably unimpassioned speech to Angelo), and momentary spots
of humour (e.g. the some-times hilarious exchange between Lucio, a servant
to the Duke, and the Duke disguised as a friar. This moment of ironic
comedy is certainly one of the play's highlights, and is a model for many
modern humour pieces) which all serve to create a less than enthralling
afternoon of "not so high" drama. I will not attempt to explain the plot,
as one of the play's redeeming factors is the suspense created by the soap
operatic storyline. All in all .....

Is Hamlet Insane Or Not Insane? That Is The Question
Number of words: 1004 - Number of pages: 4.... to get information about Claudius in order to avenge his father’s death. This is a truly ingenious plan in order for Hamlet to gain what he needs.
He has made believers out of those around him that he is mad (when actually is not). Polonius says to Ophelia “That [rejected love from her] hath made him mad” (94). The king, however has a different opinion that “since nor th’ exterior nor the inward man resembles that what it was. What it should be, more than his father’s death, that thus hath put him so much from the understanding of himself I cannot drea .....
