... of Cawdor? Of course, once MacBeth, who, living in such a society, was superstitious, is presented with Cawdor's title, he believes that the other prediction, namely his kingship, must come true. Banquo notes the danger inherent in believing (and subsequently acting on) the witches' predictions; he says, "Were such things here as we do speak about?/Or have we eaten on the insane root/That takes the reason prisoner?" Act I, scene 3, ll.83-85. MacBeth is quite overwhelmed when he hears that he is now the Thane of Cawdor. However, almost immediately, he starts thinking about how to bring about his rule as ...

... Winfrey show deal with current events and issues such as child or spouse abuse, heroes of hometowns, breast cancer and many other issues that deal with everyday life, and touch the lives of people from every walk of life.

... Roderigo being a mere source of cash. Iago explains his disbelief on not being selected for lieutenant. He boasts of his military victories "at Rhodes, at Cyprus, and on other grounds/ Christened and heathen, must be beleed and calmed/ By debitor and creditor." (lines 30-32) Iago was denied a position of high valor and takes umbrage to the person responsible. That person is Othello. Othello chooses Michael Cassio, whom Iago denounces as "a Florentine." (line 21) Iago has been beaten by a Florentine with (as Iago thinks) less military ability than him. This deep wound commands Iago to revenge. Iago cannot bear O ...

... it seemed you were heading at any time that makes this movie. Writer Christopher McQuarrie and director Bryan Singer present the viewer with the story's main mystery in the very opening scene. For without an introduction, besides the disorienting subtitle that this happened last night, the movie opens on a burning boat in a harbor. The first character we see is the slumped over Dean Keaton, waiting to die. Then down comes this mysterious figure, cloaked in black, and speaking in muffled tones. Keaton addresses the man as "Keyser" and then asks what time it is. After a quick check of his gold watch and the l ...

... I think the point when I completely like the character of Nora and stop getting upset with her is when she finally sees that her life and marriage really are just a good faç ade. When Nora learns this, she tells her husband, "You've never loved me, you've only found it pleasant to be in love with me." I a lso think that Nora perfectly describes what her marriage actually is toward the end of the play, when she tells Torvald, "…our home has been nothing but a play- room. I've been your doll-wife here, just as at home I was Papa's doll- child. And the children have been my dolls in their turn. I liked it w ...

... television programs being shown today are also a result of 60 Minutes and its bold, gutsy, "gotcha" style of television journalism. 60 Minutes changed the way that the American public receives its television news, stemming forth a whole new format of television broadcast journalism. 60 Minutes has a vast history of stories covered, yet the format has remained unchanged. Don Hewett, creator and producer of 60 Minutes, has been the subject of much criticism for his stubbornness. Since its origin, 60 Minutes has continued to adhere to the same formula that made it such a success. The hidden-camera inter ...

... to the people of the United States, and we deserve increased access to the arts. This is exactly what the National Endowment for the arts accomplishes. Just as anyone has the right to view what they please, the artist has the right to express his or her creativity, feelings, thoughts, and perception in any artistic form they please. No subject matter is forbidden. We should support free speech not suppress it. This can however, be taken to extremes. A selection of art can be deemed as offensive to the general public. This does not mean that restrictions should be placed on it preventing people from view ...

... on the internet. All these sources seem to agree that Richard III was involved in the deaths of numerous people, including, having his young nephews murdered! It also seems as along with being involved with the murders of many people, Richard III was also a coward. It appears that Richard III always had his dirty work done for him by his henchmen because he was to much of a coward to do it himself. Last but no least, Richard III has to be one of the most selfish men to walk the face of this earth. Being royalty just wasn’t enough to Richard III, for most all people being a Duke would be more than they could ...

... networks, Capital Cities/ABC, CBS and GE/NBC, still have majority access to the television audience, and most of the book business is controlled by fewer than a dozen companies, with major categories like paperback and trade books dominated by still fewer firms . In this environment the usual democratic expectation for the media -- diversity of ownership and ideas -- has disappeared as the goal of official policy and, worse, as a daily experience of a generation of American readers and viewers. Narrowing the diversity of news coverage even further is the ever-looming presence of the advertiser or corporate support ...
