The Symbol Of Black In "The Crucible"
... person, like an assistant of
the devil. If she wants something bad enough she will get it.
Although blue signifies sadness I believe that Elizabeth is feeling
black in this portion of the play. What I mean by black is that Elizabeth
probably felt like dying instead of going through all this. Since black
symbolizes death I figured that Elizabeth maybe felt black, like putting herself
out of the misery of all this charging rather than go along with it. She gets
blamed for many things that she did not do. For example she is accused of
poking Abby with a needle by a poppet.
Mary must also feel b ...

Use Of Contrasts In Act I Of The Tempest
... total control over his actions. On the other hand,
Caliban who represented the body, couldn't control his actions and thus made him
the opposite of Ariel. He even tried to rape Miranda once, but was stopped by
Prospero in the process. In fact, it might even be safe to say that Caliban was
anti-Ariel, being slow, stupid, and lazy.
Gonzalo and Ferdinand were also contrasted in this act. In Act I, scene
I lines 28-33, Gonzalo made fun of the boatswain by saying that he didn't look
like the type to drown, instead he resembled more of the type to be hanged.
Thus implying that no one on the ship would drown. This ges ...

The Merchant Of Venice
... fat the ancient grudge I bear him." Shylock pretends to want to be friends
with Antonio, but only wants revenge against the Jew-hater.

appearance versus reality. The suitor of Portia must choose either a gold,
silver or lead casket, where the right choice will allow the suitor to marry her.
The Prince of Morocco, on choosing the beautiful gold casket with the
inscription, "Who chooseth me shall gain what many men desire," sees the message,
"All that glisters is not gold," and is thus turned away by Portia. The Prince
of Arragon, o ...

Cinematography: Everything You Need To Know
... with a beam of light. The period of time between the
projection of each still image when no image is projected is normally not
noticed by the viewer.
Two perceptual phenomena--persistence of vision and the critical flicker
frequency--cause a continuous image. Persistence of a vision is the
ability of the viewer to retain or in some way remember the impression of
an image after it has been withdrawn from view. The critical flicker
frequency is the minimum rate of interruption of the projected light beam
that will not cause the motion picture to appear to flicker. A frequency
above about 48 interruptions a second ...

Television, What A Waste Of Timme
... has intrigues
us as Americans and numbed our sense of what's right and what's wrong in society.
What shocked us at first has now become customary dinner-time cinema.
With the increase in the number of television sets in America, more and more
young people have been robbed of their creativity. With TV, hardly anything is
left to the imagination. Before the existence of television, all people wre
forced to create their own opinions and images of things in their own minds.
But with TV, all the images are created for you and almost all the arguments are
one-sided. With TV, you no longer create your own ideas; you ...

The Sea Dogs... Puppets In A Political War
... Raleigh, and Sir Francis Drake. Drake was by far the
most popular of all the sea dogs. It is said that he accumulated the most
wealth of anyone in the pirating business (Wood 102). Sir Walter Raleigh
was another sea dog, but he didn't prove to be as successful (Cochran 32).
Another pirate during the Middle Ages was John Hawkins. He robbed the
Spaniards of slaves and riches (Cochran 26). Together these three men were
accountable for what would be worth millions and millions of dollars being
converted from Spanish hands to English.
These three sea dogs were not just part time pirates though.
Pirating was the ...

Macbeth: Choices
... it. This is shown in
the quote: I am afraid to think what I've done; look on't again I dare not./(50-
51, Scene 2, Act 2) Another example is after Macbeth had Banquo killed and he
sees Banquo's ghost at the table. He goes crazy and starts yelling at the ghost
and he realizes that he cannot change what he has done so he tries to ignore it.
That same scene Lady Macbeth says: Things without all remedy should be without
regard: what's done is done./(11-12, Scene 2, Act 3) These examples show how
Macbeth cannot escape the choices he made.
Macduff's allegiance to the country of Scotland leads to consequences
