Hamlet's Treatment Of Ophelia And Gertrude
Number of pages: 6 | Number of words: 1538.... tears
Had left the flushing in her galled eyes,
She married. O, most wicked speed, to post
With such dexterity to incestuous sheets!
It is not, nor it cannot come to good. (Hoy, 11)
It is understandable Hamlet is upset with his mother for forgetting about his
father and marrying his uncle, Claudius. In Hamlet's eyes, his father deserves
more than one month of mourning and by remarrying so quickly, the queen has
sullied King Hamlet's memory. This remarriage is a sin and illegal, however
special dispensation was made because she is queen.
Hamlet's opinion of his m .....

Then to show that the reading was accurate, they had people come on and say that
their experience with the psychic was "life changing," and that "it was so real…
the psychic knew everything." It is amazing what people will fall for in this
day and age.

are said to "improve someone's life" but in most cases the products are rip-offs
and are an easy way for the manufacturer's to make mon .....

Number of pages: 5 | Number of words: 1355.... in the future.
In a tragic play, the protagonist is plagued by a "fatal flaw" in his or her personality. Usually the flaw leads to the protagonist's demise or downfall. Brutus' fatal flaw is that he is too trusting. Brutus is an honorable man, who foolishly believes that those around him are just as honest and noble as himself. He just wants what is best for the Republic, and the conspirators convince him that Caesar's death is the best thing for the people. When a person becomes too trusting he is easy to manipulate and the conspirators use him as a figurehead of sor .....

Number of pages: 6 | Number of words: 1552.... available to anyone, and that the testimony of the key witness is suspect.
Gradually they are won over by his arguments and even the most narrow minded of
his fellow jurors hesitantly agrees with him. Their verdict is now a solid not
guilty.
Arriving at a unanimous not guilty verdict does not come easily. The jury
encounters many difficulties in learning to communicate and deal with each other.
What seems to be a decisive guilty verdict as deliberations begin slowly
becomes a questionable not sure. Although the movie deals with issues relating
to the process of effe .....

Film Review: Close Encounters Of The Third Kind
Number of pages: 3 | Number of words: 598.... firmly in the
outstanding performances by Dreyfuss, Barro, and co-star Terri Garr. Dreyfuss
has a knack for being able to portray an erratic man who in one instant is
completely normal, and at other times becomes utterly insane. Melinda Barro
also puts in an extremely believable performance as Dreyfuss's side-kick in
search of her abducted son. But perhaps the most hidden success of this movie
is the very underrated actress Teri Garr, who put in her two cents as Dreyfuss's
wife. Garr did play a small role, yet it was effective, it produced a gauge of
just how crazy Dreyfus .....

Here we can see that Hamlet had told Ophelia earlier in the scene how deeply he
loved her, but here he has changed completely, saying that he had never loved
her. With in this quote he slips in that Ophelia should go to a nunnery. This
is his just cause for his maddness. He tries to get Ophelia to forget him and
go to the nunnery so that she can be safe, and away from all his troubles that
would soon come. Here we see his justcause as well as his foreshadowing for
things to come.
Like many Princes, Hamlet has been highly educated in Whittenburg, England.

Medea's Revenge
Number of pages: 8 | Number of words: 1985.... choose a husband, and had to be represented by men in all legal
proceedings. In some ways, these Greek women were almost like slaves. There is
a definite relationship between this subordination of women and what transpires
in the play. Jason decides that he wants to divorce Medea and marry the
princess of Corinth, casting Medea aside as if they had never been married.
This sort of activity was acceptable by Greek standards, and shows the
subordinate status of the woman, who had no say in any matter like this.
Even though some of Medea's actions were not typical of th .....
