Religion Is The Opiate Of The Masses
... think that full house is an intellectual stimulus?
hell no. TV is designed to be brain candy for the weak-minded and ignorant.
The internet is more useful and I might add, stimulating. This is a medium in
which you can interact and communicate with others instead of sitting on your
ass drooling watching itchy and scratchy. There are honestly interesting sites
available on this medium.
I have heard people call television the "one-eyed monster", this simply
suggests to me that this person is obviously poor-bred or simply ignorant.
Television can be used to convey pornography, religion, drug use, love, or an ...

Hamlet: Appearance Versus Reality
... Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, and King Claudius. From behind
this mask they give the impression of a person who is sincere and genuine,
in reality they are plagued with lies and evil. There appearance will make
it very difficult for Hamlet to uncover the truth, the characters hide
behind. Polonius the kings royal assistant has a preoccupation with
appearance. He always wants to keep up the appearance of loving and caring
person. Polonius appears like a man who loves and cares about his son,
Laertes. Polonius speaks to his son with advice that sounds sincere but in
reality it is rehearsed, hollow and without fee ...

The Tragedy In Hamlet
... of pity and fear from the reader.
The reader pities Hamley because his father died by murder, and because Hamley
becomes mad as he learns that his uncle was the murderer. The audience fears
him because he transforms a points into a monster, crazed and impassioned,
waiting for the perfect moment to take revenge. Obviously, Hamlet is neither
completely good or evil. He is, instead only human.
Hamlet is a tragic human, mad at points, and completely sane at others.
At the beginning of the play, Hamlet is completely sane. He is still mourning
his fatherÕs death, and he is very angry at his funcle and his mother for ...

Merchant Of Venice: Shylock The Antagonist?
... charter in England by Henry I in return for a percentage of their
profits from trade and moneylending. It is here that the stereotype of
Jews lending money was started. Because of the tariffs placed on them by
the crown Jews took to charging high interest rates to secure profits for
themselves. Here we see echos of Shylock with his usury. Finally the Jews
were ordered out of England in 1254 by Edward I. They did not return to
England until the later half of the seventeenth century. (Lippman 3-4) Jews
were also viewed as devils by Elizabeathan audiences. Old stories
portrayed them as "blood-thirsty murders" tha ...

Oedipus Rex: Tragedy Of Fate
... the mere will of the humans. The prophecy had been made about Oedipus as
soon as he was born. Once the destiny was foretold by the gods, no amount of
hope, faith, or vain effort by human beings could have prevented it.
As soon as there was interference with fate, it was counteracted by the
divinities. Jocasta wanted to kill the baby, so she skewed his legs together,
had a servant bring him to the forest and leave him for dead. The servant does
not want to carry out this deed and therefore "saves his life" by handing the
baby to someone else, so that he can be raised in another city. Further, a
drunken man i ...

Apocalypse Now And Heart Of Darkness

new to them. This overwhelming cultural interaction caused some Puritans to go
mad and try to purge themselves of a perceived evil. This came to be known as
the Salem witch trials.
During World War II, Germany made an attempt to overrun Europe. What happened
when the Nazis came into power and persecuted the Jews in Germany, Austria and
Poland is well known as the Holocaust. Here, humanÃs evil side provides one of
the scariest occurrences of this century. Adolf Hitler and his Nazi counterparts
conducted raids of the ghettos to locate and often exterminate any Jews they
found. Although Jews are the most wid ...

Hamlet: Method In The Madness
... of insanity. Both plays offer a character on each side of sanity, but
in Hamlet the distinction is not as clear as it is in King Lear. Using the
more explicit relationship in King Lear, one finds a better understanding
of the relationship in Hamlet.
While Shakespeare does not directly pit Ophelia's insanity (or breakdown)
against Hamlet's madness, there is instead a clear definitiveness in
Ophelia's condition and a clear uncertainty in Hamlet's madness. Obviously,
Hamlet's character offers more evidence, while Ophelia's breakdown is quick,
but more conclusive in its precision. Shakespeare offers clear evidence

Romeo And Juliet: Forbidden Love Leads To Death
... Turn giddy, and be helped by backward turning.
One desperate grief cures with another's languish.
Take thou some new infection to thy eye,
And the rank poison of the old will die."
Romeo takes the advise Benvolio offered, and not another word about loving
Rosaline is spoken.
On the same day, Romeo, Benvolio, and Mercutio went to the Capulet's
party dressed in masks so their identities wouldn't be known. At the party,
Romeo saw a beautiful girl dancing with Paris and instantly fell in love with
her. He asked a servingman what her name was but he didn't know.
"O, she doth teach the t ...

Meet The Simpsons
... was a father figure, his job, or responsibility rather, was to financially support the family, while being an exemplary father to his children. The mother on the other hand, was solely responsible for being a typical housewife, while not neglecting the rearing of her children. The children did not have any real responsibility, but they respected their parents and attempted to stay out of trouble. Television shows for the most part in this early era of programming followed among these lines.There has always been at least one show each decade that followed the evolution of American life. In the 1960's, ther ...

Riefenstahl's Triumph Of The Will: A Work Of Art
... people. Triumph of the Will poses difficult questions on what constitutes great art more than sixty years after its completion. When evaluating Triumph of the Will, should we separate the film’s creator, Riefenstahl, from her film and its consequences? When judging a work as great art, should we separate content from form? Can Nazi art be considered great art although we know their message is against humanity? With reference to Ben Shahn’s book, The Shape of Content, I will examine these questions in an attempt to show that great art like anything labelled great must first accomplish certain goals which incl ...
