Hamlet: Video Comparison
Number of pages: 2 | Number of words: 548

.... and asks where Polonius is. Hamlet then realizes that he is in the room and continues his charade of acting mad. I think that this interpretation is the best one because it reflects my view of this scene as well as what I think Shakespeare's intentions were. Another version was the with Lawrence Olivier. Compared with the other two, this version didn't quite seem as realistic. When Hamlet enters them room, it seems like he already knows what's going on, and that Polonius and the King are in the room. You can tell that he thinks something's up when glances over at the hang .....


“What’s Eating Gilbert Grape?”
Number of pages: 3 | Number of words: 576

.... he goes into the basement and destroys it since it is where his father killed himself. Gilbert’s sister Amy really feels like she is the mother. She has so much responsibility that she has no life, or any friends. His other sister Ellen give the impression that she is ashamed of her mother as well as the rest of the family. Ellen really tries hard to fit in with everyone else. She may also feel lonely, or like she has no real parents. Ellen feels like her brother Arnie get all the attention, but above all I think she just waiting the time when she will get out Endura. End .....


Hamlet: Hamlet Resembles A Real Person
Number of pages: 7 | Number of words: 1708

.... Polonius. It is especially difficult for Hamlet to talk to Ophelia. The only other woman in his life, Gertrude, has betrayed his father by marrying Claudius. Hamlet may be obsessed with the idea that all women are evil, yet he really does love Ophelia, because when he finds out Ophelia has died, he cries out, "I lov'd Ophelia; forty thousand brothers could not, with all their quantity of love, make up my sum."(Act V, Scene 1) The ghost provides Hamlet with a dilemma. In Shakespeare's plays, supernatural characters are not always to be trusted; think of the three witches in .....


Death Of A Salesman: Willy Lowman
Number of pages: 4 | Number of words: 1028

.... he escapes into a time when things were better for his family. It is not uncommon for one to think of better times at low points in their life in order to cheer themselves up so that they are able to deal with the problems they encounter, but Willy Lowman takes it one step further. His refusal to accept reality is so strong that in his mind he is transported back in time to relive one of the happier days of his life. It was a time when no one argued, Willy and Linda were younger, the financial situation was less of a burden, and Biff and Happy enthusiastically welcom .....


"King Lear" And Parallel Plot - Crucial For The Play?
Number of pages: 3 | Number of words: 786

.... starts the entire dilemma of hate and destruction by his foolish desire for flattery. He divides his kingdom between two of his daughters and the never ending crave for power and wealth begins. As we can assume from the play's title, Lear and his daughters are part of the main plot. The plot of Gloucester and his sons, is considered parallel. Gloucester is portrayed also with family problems. He experiences trouble with his two sons, Edgar and Edmund. This parallel plot that ties in with the main one sometimes actually comes into unison and characters interact with each o .....


King Arthur And The Knights Of The Round Table: An Epic Hero For Modern Times
Number of pages: 3 | Number of words: 607

.... overlap in the story, the way the plot is handled in each work cannot be debated. I will however, discuss the mood, tone, and characterization of a few key figures in the two works. One difference in character that I found was that in the introduction to Morte d' Arthur, Mordred is referred to as King Arthurs nephew. Later in the text, when Arthur and Mordred are fighting (p. 96, para.1) it says, ". . . so he smote his father King Arthur with his sword holden in both hands, upon the side of the head . . ." In Camelot, Mordred is Arthur's illegitimate son, although he keeps .....


Macbeth: Deep Imagination
Number of pages: 2 | Number of words: 465

.... itself. The speech begins with his realization that he may one day become "king hereafter"; since "two truths are told", only one is left. Banquo senses Macbeth's ill-concealed emotions, asking him, "Why do you start, and seem to fear/Things that do sound so fair?" The answer is revealed in this soliloquy when Macbeth tries to reassure himself that "this supernatural soliciting/Cannot be ill." Then he confesses that he fears that "horrid image" which "doth unfix my hair." In other words, for the first time, Macbeth sees Duncan's murder as the quickest way to reach hi .....


Macbeth: Guilty By His Actions Then Lady Macbeth Is By Hers
Number of pages: 3 | Number of words: 778

.... talked about committing the crime, but she never actually went through with it nor would she ever, and that is all that counts. Talking about committing the incident is very different from actually doing it. Lady Macbeth did a little more than just talk about it though. She also urged Macbeth into doing it and that is what makes her part of this crime, but she is not as guilty as Macbeth. He really didn't have to listen to what his wife said. Macbeth had a mind of his own and he could make his own decision. The other murders that Macbeth was involved in were not commit .....
