... issues in the play are the "psychological issues" involved. How do two relatively unimportant characters in Shakespeare's play interpret what is going on around them? What is the audience's response? What role do the Players hold in each of the two works? As an authority on Shakespearean works, I would consider Stoppard's play to be very enriching in both the interpretation of Hamlet as well as the consideration of what role Hamlet plays in modern society. Aside from that, the play "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead" addresses issues of isolation, sanity, depression, and luck that are not necessarily su ...

... intelligent, honest, or hard working. For this reason, Wolfe's characterization of Dick is essential to the short story. Without a good characterization of Dick before his sole turns violent, the story would have no meaning and would just be about a mad man. However, with Wolfe's exquisite characterization, the reader find outs how an innocent god fearing man can turn violent. Overall, Wolfe's characterization is key to the short stories meaning. Outstanding tone and mood choice also help show the truth about the weak human sole. First, the Wolfe's informal tone of the story is significant. I believe Wolfe's ...

... peace in television, movies or books. Orwell makes the society of Oceania seem even more cold by using this as one of the Party's main phrases. This must have been Orwell's goal when he wrote such a phrase. The second thematic statement and Party phrase is "Ignorance is Strength." (Pg. 165) This applies to the novel because it promotes the thought that all people should blindly follow Big Brother without thinking at all. The people are stronger as a large group who does not question Big Brother. This statement in some ways applies to life. It almost has the same meaning as "what you don't know can't hurt you." ...

... (153). The theme of having an overwhelming amount of self-pride, one of the seven deadly sins, is projected as a weakness of Fortunato and foreshadows the ideal that this deadly sin of pride may very well lead to the means of Forturnato’s own destruction. Fortunato Believes that his “connoisseurship in wine” (153) is far more developed and advance than anyone else in the area, especially Luchesi and Montresor. For example when Montresor offered to take his business to Luchesi because he, Fortunato, appeared to be pre-engaged in the enjoying himself within “the supreme madness of the carnival ...

... Sorbonne. Then, in 1911 he went to Munich. Due to the war he was unable to travel back to the States, and was detained in London, England. Eliot had always dreamed of being out on his own. He finally had the chance. He devoted his life now to learning and writing. Eliot’s literary career began early in life. His first publication, "A Tale of A Whale,’" was in an issue of The Milton Academy Record in the April issue of 1901. His second publication soon followed with Milton Academy publishing "The Man Who Was King’" in the June issue of 1901. His first major publications arrived shortly after. ...

... Humbert against the post-modern Americans that he encounters. Forget all that, I honestly thought the movie to be a convincing love story. On the surface level it was about an obsessive man and his love for nymphets, who met , the object of his desires. There were differences between the movie and the novel, yet I felt some scenes were left out of the movie that did not hurt the story at all. Also, some scenes were added which actually strengthened the story line in the movie. I bet professional critics say the new version of did not measure up, well I loved it. Dominique Swain was awesome (a little ho ...

... as to and from, in their front, the harpooners wildly gesticulated with their huge pronged forks and dippers; as the wind howled on, and the sea leaped, and the ship groaned and dived, and yet steadfastly shot her red hell further and further into the blackness of the sea and the night, and scornfully champed the white bone in her mouth, and viciously spat round her on all sides; then the rushing Pequod, freighted with savages, and laden with fire, and burning a corpse, and plunging into that blackness of darkness, seemed the material counterpart of her monomaniac commander’s soul.” (Melville 463) This qu ...

... in the whole story where love isn’t conveyed is the very first scene where we see the first conflict between the Capulets and the Montagues. That just shows how much of an impact love has in Shakespeare’s story about two star-crossed lovers. Romeo and Juliet had such a strong love that they would die for each other. This is what Shakespeare is trying to show us what love is all about and this is why he chose to write this story, not to show hate, but to show love. The love in the story is not only shown between Romeo and Juliet. It is also shown in the form of filial love between Romeo and Mercutio. ...

... for Rufus are in the following paragraphs. As a child Rufus started depending on Dana. In another words, Rufus’s survival was left in the hands of Dana. Just as when Dana went back to the past the first time to save Rufus from drowning in the river. "I reacted to the child in trouble" (Pg. 13). Also, Rufus depended on her to be his companion. Even more, when Alice killed herself and Dana came back to the past the last time and saw what happened Rufus told her "don’t leave, Dana" (Pg. 256). As Rufus grew older he never really learned to take good care of himself. Rufus is a man of his time. To begin wit ...
