Macbeth: Imagery
... Secondly, I think that in the
play honours are thought of as garments to be worn; likewise, Macbeth is
constantly represented symbolically as the wearer of robes not belonging to
him. He is wearing an "undeserved dignity." A crucial point in describing
the purpose of clothing in `Macbeth' is the fact that these are not his
garments. Therefore, Macbeth is uncomfortable in them because he is
continually conscious of the fact that they do not belong to him. In the
following passage, the idea constantly recurs that Macbeth's new honours
sit ill upon him, like a loose and badly fitting garment, belonging to
someone el ...

Hamlet's Madness
... a ghost.
This raises the first bit of suspicion of madness. Hamlet talks with his father
and is told,
Hamlet: If thou didst ever thy dear father love-
Revenge his foul and most unnatural murder.
Most would say that the fact that he saw the ghost of his dead father would
be enough to warrant that he is insane. The only fact that hinders this
observation is the fact that others saw the ghost as well and were even the ones
who told young Hamlet of his appearance.
Many may see Hamlet being insane only by the worldly view of him being
different. Though towards the end of the play in Act III, Gert ...

Television Censorship
... and the
state.
Censorship and the ideology supporting it go back to ancient times. Every
society has had customs, taboos, or laws by which speech, play, dress, religious
observance, and sexual expression were regulated(Microsoft Encarta 95)."
CENSORSHIP OF OBSCENITY
"The beginning of a new legal approach may be traced to the action of the
federal courts in the 1930s, when they held that Irish author James Joyce's
Ulysses was not obscene and could be freely passed through customs. The courts
ruled that the use of "dirty words" in "a sincere and honest book" did not make
the book "dirty." Since the 1950s ...

Review Of The Show "Home Time"
... a lot of people who
watch the show would be mad because it shows the how to fix and build
things. If they were lying then I 'm sure that they could get sued. If
what they show is real then I'm sure a lot will be happy for saving money
and now knowing one more thing. Reality can come to many extents, if they
mean by how real or what is real in the show. This is about the realist
you can get. They might of done some editing, but it is all real.
The main purpose of this show is to get people to watch and learn.
In another words its another learning channel. If they want people to
watch so that the peop ...

Hamlet: Chivalry
... middle French word for horseman,
chevalier. Chivalry as defined in Webster's Ninth Collegiate Dictionary
means "mounted men-at-arms." Chevalier also gave birth to a word almost
identical to chivalry: cavalier. Webster's defines cavalier as "a
gentlemen trained in arms and horsemanship." These are also synonymous
with knight. An interesting contradiction though is that the English
etymology of the word knight is trusted servant. This comes form the
Anglo-Saxon word "cnyht" (De La Bere 35). The idea of a knight being a
servant does not fit most people's ideas of knighthood or chivalry, but in
essence that is ...

Antigone: Civil Disobedience
... fight an unjust law.
Government is given the right to control a group of people by the people
composing the group. If an individual has a problem with an injustice they feel
has been placed against them, then they have a right to convey this. Civil
Disobedience allows one to convey their thoughts and ideas in a passive,
nonviolent way. It can be used when one believes that they are morally right,
and that others will agree with them. Antigone conveys this thought when she
tells, “No one will ever convict me for a traitor” (Page 61). In a nonviolent
from, Civil Disobedience is a basic human right.

Tobacco Advertising And Its Effects On Young People
... by many Tobacco-Free Kids organizations as a major influence on
the children of America. Researchers at the Medical College of Georgia report
that almost as many 6-year olds recognize Joe Camel as they do Mickey Mouse.
That is very shocking information for any parent to hear. Children are
attracted by these advertisements because they like cartoons, and they think
that a cartoon is harmless and what the cartoon does is harmless too. There is
so much cigarette advertising out there a child is sure to be struck by its
attention.
