King Lear: Illusion
Number of pages: 9 | Number of words: 2304.... to distinguish the good from the bad; his lack of sight prevented him to do so. Lear's first act of blindness comes at the beginning of the play. First he was easily deceived by Goneril and Regan's flattery brought on by him saying
Which of you shall we say doth love us most,
That we our largest bounty may extend
(King Lear I.I.51-52)

Sir, I do love you more than word can wield the
Matter,
(King Lear I.I.54-55) .....

Hamlet: Antiheroism In Hamlet
Number of pages: 4 | Number of words: 834.... a special emphasis on Hamlet's intelligence. In scene
two, Hamlet is very insolent and rude towards Rosencrantz and Guildenstern
with such phrases as,
That I can keep your counsel and not, mine own. Beside, to be
demanded of a sponge, what replication should be made by the son of a
king? (IV, ii, 12-14)
The reference to the sponge reflects the fact that Rosencrantz and
Guildenstern are easily ordered by the king and do not have minds of their
own. Hamlet does not like Rosencrantz and Guildenstern since they are
servants of the Claudius, Hamlet's mort .....

Animal Farm: Comparison Between Book And Movie
Number of pages: 3 | Number of words: 621.... wanted Snowball ousted. Though Napoleon did not like
Snowball, the wasn't really any evidence that he would try to kill Snowball. In
the movie, Napoleon, had a bad image already. He had a mean look and shoved his
way in front when Old Major gave his speech. There was also gloomy music when
they had scenes of him. When the book showed of Napoleon as a bad guy, I was
surprised but I expected it in the movie because the movie showed him as a bad
person from the beginning.
Another detail that the movie missed was when all the animals could talk.
In the movie not all the animals .....

The Crucible: Witchcraft
Number of pages: 2 | Number of words: 362.... people of being a witch
mostly because of this reason.
Another big reason that someone would be a witch is that they did
not like that person or they were just scared of them. Sometimes if you saw
someone walking and they looked funny or just doing something bad you can
say that they are a witch. You could of also said that someone was a witch

someone else. For example you can say that she sent her sprit out after me .....

The Chorus Of Antigone
Number of pages: 2 | Number of words: 466.... wildest beast, yet death
still comes. He also learns through them some important things about love,
especially that it is unconquerable.
Through the chorus Creon begins to see that he is wrong and God is
superior to himself, but it takes a lot to shake his belief that a perfect
society is run by an unrelenting rule. This play also told me a lot about

be more powerful than themselves. This revelation is the major theme of the .....

information Macbeth was provided with incentive to kill Duncan the King of
Scotland. He was tempted into believing that if the King was murdered, he was
to become what the witches predicted. While the witches never said this,
Macbeth assumed that that was what they meant and the subsequent murder of
Duncan was carried out by Macbeth himself, but, he also ordered special
murderers to kill Banquo, Lady Macduff and her children. The murder and
bloodshed had absolutely nothing to do with the witches. Macbeth acted totally
out of his own will and beliefs.
