Hamlet's Revenge
... in committing to a decision. Hamlet cannot simply choose what to do because everything he does poses a question for him; therefore, he also thinks about the consequences. It is not which decision Hamlet makes, but the fact that he cannot make any decisions at all. He is nothing more than a compulsive talker and cannot come to a conclusion about what to do.
Thus conscience does make cowards of us all,
And thus the native hue of resolution
Is sicklied o’er with the pale cast of thought,
And enterprises of great pitch and moment
With this regard their currents turn awry
And lose the ...

Is Macbeth The Tragic Hero Of The Play?
... die, his death
would be a very long fall, since to the Medieval mind, he had a great deal to
lose. Macbeth is a very important person. He is a cousin to the king of
Scotland. He is the highest ranking noble, the thane of Cawdor and Glamis, and a
general of the Scottish army. He also becomes the king of Scotland later in the
play. Despite his status, he has a character defect.
A tragic hero must have a character flaw. This character flaw causes him
to make an error in judgment, "a mistaken act," which leads to his downfall.
Because Macbeth is ambitious, he wants to become king. In order to take over the

Essay On The Movie "Lord Of The Flies"
... were hunting. The music showed as if
the boys are going to a party.
Secondly, The special effects in the movie was not done properly for the film.
My first example is the editing of the movie, explains they did not edit the
movie carefully. When a scene was cut you could focus on a different picture,
then go back to what happened. My second example is that the movie was black
and white. Since their was a lot of special effect in the film the movie should
have been coloured. The special effects would have looked neater since a lot of
killing was shot. If the movie was coloured the audience would focus on the

The Grapes Of Wrath
... as possible. Throughout the movie the family's clothing, possessions and even the car added to the effect that Steinbeck had created when he wrote his novel long ago.
As the movie progresses, there is actually two stories, one of the individual journey of the Joad family, and one for telling the general plight of the migrants. The director shows the individual family to show that the migrants are really people and to bring their plight home to the audience. The general story is told to show how it is affecting large numbers of people.
Throughout the movie, we watch the Joads progress from a concern only for themse ...

Measure For Measure - Critique
... The other characters are
most obviously unassumed by the actors and are carried through with a sense
of distance and unfamiliarity, seldom seem at a a festival as prestigious
as North America's largest and arguably best Shakespearian festival. The
play carries on for almost 3 hours, and is tempered 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

Blanch has also been noted in "Scene Two" saying that she was vein
When she was talking to Stanley:
Stanley: It looks like you raided some stylish shops in Paris
Blanch: Ha-ha! Yes-clothes are my passion!
She does not directly say she is vein but it is implied.
Another time that she is noted for being vein is in "Scene Ten",
this is when Stanley and Blanch are yelling at each other:
Stanley: And look at yourself! Take a look at yourself in that
worn out Mardi Gras outfit, rented for fifty cents from some
rag-picker! And with the crazy crow ...

Macbeth: Downfall Due To Ambition And Human Weakness
... Macbeth exposes sensitivity and knowledge of what he may do
is wrong. Possibly the one time when the reader can relate to Macbeth the
best, it is seen that he is very hesitant of his action, but what over
takes him is the human flaw of ambition. As time progresses and
Shakespeare shows Macbeth's initial "fear" of Banquo; but as his mind
becomes engulfed in the his best friends murder he label's him as "your
enemy" and making sure that he is left "no rubs nor botches in the work"
Macbeth is obviously afraid of experiencing the same emotional trauma of
his first murder. Although he think he is solving his problems, ...

Shakespeare’s Macbeth And Dostoevsky’s Raskolnikov: Literary Philosophies
... great deal of potential early in the stories. Neither man was a mean nor selfish individual. Macbeth originally portrayed a courageous soldier and a loyal man; he praised King Duncan and was very successful on the battlefield. Likewise, Raskolnikov’s thoughts and actions confirmed he was a compassionate individual. When he saw the young girl being followed by the suspicious man, he immediately called the police and tried to protect the girl. When his friendly acquaintance Marmeladov died, Raskolnikov gave his last twenty rubles to Katerina, Marmeladov’s wife. He did not want to see her suffer any more than ...
