A Clockwork Orange
... the idea of the medical model of corrections, in terms of rehabilitating an offender, which is up to the individual. That one should determine the cause and then find an exclusive treatment to resolve that individual's case, then apply it. This is the case with the character Alex, a juvenile delinquent introduced into prisonization then conditioned by governmental moral standards. This lack of personal moral choice imposed upon Alex creates conflicting situations in which he has no control over. This is apparent when trying to readjust into society. As conflicts arise within the spectrum of criminal jus ...

Romeo And Juliet: Theme Paper
... servants plan to start a quarrel. The servants exchange a few words and they draw their weapons. As Gregory sees Tybalt in the distance he says "Say "better." Here comes one of my master's kinsmen." (I, i, l 54, 55), urging Sampson to state that they serve a better man than Abraham and Balthasar. Abraham accuses Sampson of lying and Sampson causes the fight by saying "Draw, if you be men." (I, i, l 68).
Benvolio, the peace-maker, arrives, he attempts to stop the fight. Future violence is foreshadowed when Benvolio says "Part, fools! Put up your swords; you know not what you do." (I, i, l60, 61). Benvolio ...

The Minor Characters In Romeo And Juliet Have A Great Deal Of Influence Of The Destinies Of The Major Characters
... between the combatants and averts the fight. Out of blind rage, Romeo
kills Tybalt. "And in my tmeper soften'd valours see!" Had Romeo not
decided to exact revenge on Tybalt, perhaps the Capulets might have
accepted him as a son. This would mean that Romeo and Juliet would not have
had to hide their love for each other. Tybalt, indeed, had a large effect
on the lives of Romeo and Juliet, by killing Mercutio.
Another minor character thought to have shaped the destinies of Romeo and
Juliet is Paris. In Act 3, Scene 5, Lady Capulet announces that Juliet is
to marry Paris. "The County Paris, at Saint Peter's churc ...

Romeo And Juliet: The Capulet Family
... here or you?” For a little bit, Tybalt argues, but
he very soon backs down and lets Capulet have his way.
Perhaps the reason why this happens is because the “inferior”
person is somewhat intimidated by the “superior.” This intimidation that
some of the characters produce on each other shows that there is not a
great deal of communication in the family. Throughout Act I, there were
several more examples of characters yielding to others and not standing up
for what they believe. For instance, when Lady Capulet brought up the idea
of Juliet marrying Paris, Juliet just went along with the concept , ev ...

Macbeth: A Shakespearean Tragic Hero
... him that he was to be Thane of Cawdor, Thane of
Glamis, and King of Scotland, Macbeth would still be his ordinary self. As
a result of the prophecies, this aroused Macbeth's curiosity of how he
could be King of Scotland. As the play progresses, Macbeth slowly relies
on the witches prophecies. Shakespeare uses the witches as a remedy for
Macbeth's curiosity which corrupts his character.
The influence of Macbeth's wife, Lady Macbeth also contributed to his
degeneration of character. Lady Macbeth's character in the beginning
reveals that she is a lovable person. When Lady Macbeth was ready to kill
King D ...

Saint Sernin Of Toulouse And Notre Dame Of Paris
... concentrated more on mastering the idea of an obscenely high ceiling, as
well as ribbed and pointed vaults, the relationship between the structure and
its appearance, and perhaps, most importantly the use of light.
One of the most enjoyable things about comparing the two structures of
St. Sernin and Notre Dame is that there are so many differences as far as the
particulars go, but in general the two cathedrals are very, very much alike.
Through the years, enough architectural and engineering advances had been made
to raise the ceiling to staggering new heights of over one hundred feet. The
materials remaine ...

he was still not passing up this opportunity for his daughter. Capulet was
also practical when Tybalt spotted Romeo during the Capulet feast, Tybalt

The Godfather: Gangster Genre
... stories turned upside down in which criminals live in an inverted dream world of success and wealth. Although they are doomed to failure and death, criminals are portrayed as the victims of circumstance, because the stories are told from their point of view - all other "normal" roots to the top are unavailable to them. Film gangsters are usually materialistic, street-smart, immoral, and self-destructive.They rise to power with a tough cruel facade while showing an ambitious desire for success and recognition, but underneath they can express sensitivity and gentleness. The Public Enemy (1931) is one of the earliest ...

A short time later, the court was thrown out, and there were no more
hangings. In less than a year, a total of nineteen men and women we re
