(III, v, 203-204) His wife, upon hearing Juliet's decision against marrying to Paris, refuses to give Juliet counsel.

... main characters in a way that reflects his views of the English aristocracy. Algernon Moncrieff and Jack(Ernest) Worthington represent the prototypical male bachelors. In the opening act, set in Algernon's flat, the two meet and display what appears to be their usual daily activities. Neither is employed, and it is apparent that their only occupation is the pursuit of leisure activities and social matters, subjects of major importance to them. When Algernon inquires as to the purpose of Ernest's visit to town, Ernest replies, "Oh pleasure, pleasure! What else should bring anyone anywhere? Eating as usual, I see ...

... best friend. He knows that Macbeth has the desire to be the king and would do anything to get the crown. Banquo knows Macbeth has it in him to commit murder. In the next three lines, Banquo explains that he should really be the king because the witches also proclaimed that Banquo would be the "root and father of many kings." In the line, "May they not be my oracles as well and set me up in hope?", Banquo is saying that he wants the prophesies to come true for him also and make him the king and the beginning of a long line of kings. The main idea of his soliloquy is that Banquo knows that Macbeth killed Duncan. ...

... the play would certainly lose an amount of appreciation of some of its readers and audiences. This play is led by the Athenian leader, Lysistrata. She is in some ways quite liberal, but I think that the identification of these liberal traits are difficult to distinguish. Some of Lysistrata's liberal aspects are ideas such as feminine politics, justice, recognition, and determination. For example, Lysistrata is a woman who is always determined to get her way. She feels that victory is not just important in the definition of winning an outcome, but that victory should be the primary priority. Her determi ...

... in the story. In the first line of act one scene two Duncan is asking his Lords who the bloody man stood before him is. He says that judging by his wounded state he could tell them of the latest news of the battle. This opening sentence sets the scene for the whole of the play, a bloody war. There is more blood when MacBeth and his lady have killed Duncan, the blood symbolises guilt so Lady MacBeth smears blood onto the guards and then cleans herself of the blood on her. "A little water clears us of this deed," meaning that if there is no blood on them they can not be guilty. Banqueting, eating and ...

... people pay money to see his paintings. Why pay money to see them if it is clear that the paintings did not reveal his talent and hard work as they did before? Seeing how the restorations were done at the end of the video was alot better than the methods of restoring had been. Removing all of the glue and varnish from the past was a good idea and then patching up the areas that needed it and doing it consistantly and using the same style he does makes the paintings reveal Michelangelo's talent and the charactaristics of his characters. Marking and bringing it to attention which areas had the restorations applied t ...

... original story, by Alice Walker. He slaughtered a story most people had heard of, but never read. I thought the movie itself was rather good. It had it's own good and bad points. Up until about when Sofia left Harpo, they were almost identical. After that they are almost two different stories with the same ending. The movie was written purely for entertainment. It added a small number of scenes, but cut more than it added. Also, it emphasized different parts of the story than the book. The film is about a young black girl growing up in the south, abused by, first, her father, then her husband, whom she had no c ...

... hubris prevents him from recognizing his self- destructive behavior. Instead, he accuses Teiresias of disloyalty and succumbing to bribery. He feels Teiresias has "sold out" (Scene 5, Line 65) and that Creon was "the butt for the dull arrows of doddering fortunetellers" (Scene 5, Line 42). Such inventions of Creon prove to be both counter-productive and foolish, for Teiresias did speak the truth and Creon is only further drawn into his false reality dictated by hubris. Creon's fatal flaw overcomes him in a discussion with his son. Haimon confronts his father about Creon's reckless and unreasonable actions dealin ...

... and bends it at a different angle. Instead of focusing on crusades for freedom, the movie ventures down the less-traveled road of concentrating on the personal cost of adapting to prison life and how some convicts, once they conform, lose the ability to survive beyond the barbed wire and iron bars. As one of the characters puts it: "These [prison] walls are funny. First you hate them, then you get used to them, then you start to depend on them." Filmed on location in a disused Ohio prison, The is set in a place of perpetual dreariness. What little color there is, is drab and lifeless (lots of grays and muted gr ...

... themselves in the presence of three weird sisters who make three absurd predictions. MacBeth leans toward believing them while Banqou says, "And oftentimes, to win us to do our harm, the instruments of darkness tells us truths, win us with honest trifles, to betray's in deepest consequence". (Act I, Scene 3) A thoughtful yet skeptical Banquo speaks his words here very carefully to MacBeth in order to remain honorable. He doesn't want to come right out and tell MacBeth to be cautious in his actions, so he tries to soften his words so that MacBeth might contemplate his future movements. However, MacBeth does not ta ...
