Marx's Philosophical Writings: Alienation
... his
production...
Marx sees the alienation of labor as return to feudalism, as is
evidenced by his references to landlords and peasants in his writings about
alienated labor. He sees this as the ultimate surrendering of the human
spirit (in terms of social and psychological alienation) to the material
alienation of capitalism. Furthermore, he sees it as a cycle that can and
must be broken in order to allow us the full expression of our species
essence, which he describes as communal.
Marx sees material alienation as the cause of social or
psychological alienation. Material alienation he said is ...

... Morrison’s story and in real life, beauty is described by people as having blond hair, blue eyes , perfect figure, etc. It’s been said that if you have good looks, you can make it in life with just looks alone.

Shakespeare And His Globe
... wether it was dawn or nightfall by using a speech rich in metaphors and descriptive details. Shakespeare's theater was far from being bare, the playwright did have some valuable technical sources that he used to the best of his ability. The costumes the actors wore were made to be very elaborate. Many of the costumes conveyed recognizable meanings for the audience such as a rich aristocrat wearing silk clothes with many ruffles. Many times there were musical accompaniments and sound effects such as gunpowder explosions and the beating of a pan to simulate thunder.
The stage itself was also remarkably versatile. ...

The Symbol Of Blood In Macbeth
... guilt in different forms.
The first reference of blood is one of honour, and occurs when Duncan sees the injured sergeant and says "What bloody man is that?". This is symbolic of the brave fighter who been injured in a valiant battle for his country. In the next passage, in which the sergeant says "Which smok'd with bloody execution", he is referring to Macbeth's braveness in which his sword is covered in the hot blood of the enemy.
After these few references to honour, the symbol of blood now changes to show a theme of treachery and treason. Lady Macbeth starts this off when she asks the spirits to "make thick m ...

A Man For All Seasons - 16th Century
... that my ideas will prove to be informative and enlightening.
One of the main reasons that Robert Bolt probably chose 16th century Thomas More as his hero for A Man for all Seasons was that he liked his personality. By that I mean that as Bolt wrote about More, he discovered more and more things that he found admirable about the man. At the outset, Robert Bolt was looking for a person who had a strong idea of who he is because this is what Bolt thinks is necessary to be a hero and this is exactly the type of man that Thomas More is. More saw in himself something that was his only and he was that it was something ...

King Lear
... characters in the other piece of literature. However, Scott Holstad
states the reason for the differing responses best by saying, “Smiley is successful because
she fills in so many of the gaps left open in the play. She gives us new and different
perspectives” (Holstad 1).
King Lear is a most unusual play in that it only deals with the present and neglects the
past and the future. The reader is not informed about an earlier time period in the play.
The play opens up with Lear immediately choosing to, “express our darker purpose” (I, i,
35). There is no mention of any of the three daughter ...

Great Expectatons
... Pip narrates that "Joe Gergary and I(Pip) were brought up by hand"(pg. 8, chpt ). Although unintentional, Mrs. Joe is, in a way, holding both Pip and Joe on an equal level, refusing to hear either one of them, therefor not discriminating against Pip because of age.
Although through her own naivete, Mrs. Joe becomes a somewhat fair character Dickens's writes about a dinner party being held at Mrs. Joe's house(chapter 4) where Pip says "I was not allowed to speak"(pg.25) when at a table surrounded by adults. The period in which this is written, assumes that one must become old before one has an opinion. I feel th ...

Creative Writing: A Murder On The Eighth Night Was Caused By An Old Mans "evil" Eye
... for about an hour then I shined my lantern on his eye and I
could see that it was opened so I attacked, I got one of his pillows and
suffocated him, I then dismembered his body in the bathtub so there wouldn't be
any traces of blood to be found. I then put the body parts under the planks in
the floor," explained the butler.
"When we went to the house to check out a scream a neighbor heard, the butler
opened the door and was real nice, he let us snoop around the house to show us
that nothing was wrong. He said he had a bad dream. Then when he took us into
the old man's sleeping chamber he started to get real imp ...

Frankenstein
... of a life after death to see that overcoming death has fascinated people for centuries. This fascination can be looked at on several levels. First of all, death is frightening. It is something that is not understood completely by humans. Humans are scared of what they do not understand. This is portrayed in when the creature is shunned by society simply because he looked different from them and they did not understand him. People are scared of what they do not understand, which is why they were frightened by Victor’s creature. The desire to understand death leads to the desire to control it. Even though ...

Hamlet
... have gleaned, it is but squeezing you and, sponge, you shall be dry again," (pg 98, 20). This is random and unexpected, as many of his actions, but the comparison makes sense; Rosencrantz and Guildenstern soak up all the kings favors, only to become dry again after they mop up the King’s mess (spying on , and getting Polonius’s body). Later, with Claudius, tells how lowly a king can be by saying, "A man (beggar) may fish with the worm that hath eat of a king, and eat of the fish that hath fed of that worm," (pg 99, 29). This also makes sense, and is not quite as random; when confronts Claudius, and the ...
