The Crucible: Although Abigail And The Girls Initiate The Tragedy, Responsibility Lies With The Whole Salem Community
911 Words - 4 Pages.... the blame - therefore bringing down the entire of the
community and causing people to turn against each other and all principles they
once believed in.
Abigail and the girls deny everything. Part od their denial is accusation. By
shifting the blame onto someone else, they believe that they will not be held
accountable for their own sins. Abigail manipulates her way through the play,
and even after Mary Warren confessed that the whole story was a pretense,
Abigail continues manipulating the court room and the people within it with
antics of ‘a wind, a cold wind' and ‘Oh Heavenly Father, take away this shadow'.
In the end she is adamant to convince the court that they ....

The Role Of Minor Conspirators
599 Words - 3 Pages.... being killed, and she had convinced
him to remain home the next day. When Decius arrived at Caesar's home in
the morning to take him to the capitol he realized that he must convince
Caesar that he had misinterpreted his wife's dream so Caesar would go as
planned. Decius needed to make Caesar realize that his wife, the
soothsayer, and all of the omens were purely coincidental which he did by
interpreting Calpurnia's dream with a double meaning, “Your statue spouting
blood in many pipes, in which so many smiling Romans bathed, signifies that
from you great Rome shall suck reviving blood, and that great men shall
press for tinctures, stains, relics, and cognizance.” (J ....

Macbeth’s Tragic Flaw
608 Words - 3 Pages.... told Macbeth he would become Thane of Glamis, Thane of Cawdor, and “shalt be king hereafter!”(I.iii.53). Upon reading the letter Lady Macbeth starts to sway Macbeth “To catch the nearest way. Though wouldst be great,”(I.v.18). She then goes on and acts as if the witches have stated facts and says, ”That which cries ‘Thus thou must do,’ if thou have/it,”(I.v.25-26). Lady Macbeth urged on Macbeth, making the witches’ prophecy become true.
Lady Macbeth mutters about Duncan’s murder while sleepwalking. This confession could lead to her and Macbeth’s death. Unknowingly Lady Macbeth mumbles “Here’s the smell of the blood still.All/the perfumes of Arab ....

Forbidden Planet Comparison To Shakespeare's The Tempest
1359 Words - 5 Pages.... Planet is not meant to be
understood by the audience, but rather is, for all intents and purposes, magic.
This is undoubtedly in part because the technology doesn't exist and therefore
cannot be explained to us. What is more important, however, is that how the
technology works is irrelevant for the purpose of the movie, which is to
entertain and to teach us a lesson about man's control over the elements and
over his own technological creations.
At this point a brief synopsis of the movie would seem to be in order,
with special attention as to how it relates to The Tempest.
In The Tempest, a man named Prospero and his daughter Miranda have been
exiled to a remote island whi ....

Macbeth: His Downfall Was Due To His Ambition For Power
756 Words - 3 Pages.... way he thinks. After receiving the three prophecies, Macbeth
is intrigue by the idea the he will be king hereafter. He soon shows his
intention to carry out the prophecies in his aside: "The prince of
Cumberland! that is a step on which I must fall down, or else o'er-leap,
for in my way it lies" (I. iv. 55-57). With the help of his wife, Lady
Macbeth, Macbeth was able to kill the Duncan, the king of Scotland, a man
whom trusted and loved Macbeth. With Duncan dead and the two princes
fleeing, Macbeth was crowned king of Scotland. In the end, Macbeth had
fulfilled his prophecies but in doing, he had committed treason against his
country. Macbeth's second great crime was commit ....

Macbeth: Occurrences That Led To Macbeth's Downfall
821 Words - 3 Pages.... is lost, so is Macbeth's
grip with reality. Lady Macbeth was the only person he could truly confide
in. The supernatural also had another key factor to her death. In the
first act of the play, she calls on the powers of the supernatural to make
her strong. The following quote by Lady Macbeth:
"Come, you spirits that tend on mortal thoughts, unsex
me here, and fill me from the crown to the toe, top-full
of direst cruelty! Make thick my blood, stop up the
access and passage to remorse… Come to my woman's breasts,
and take my milk for gall…"
(Act I, Scene V, ll 46-54, pp 35)
Is possibly the most important passage that leads to Lady Macbeth's death.
She calls o ....

"Planet Of The Apes"
467 Words - 2 Pages.... would have been to the mutes in the movie. When they were being chased
and whipped like animals, would they not have been able to plot an escape to
avoid capture and imprisonment by the apes if they had been able to communicate?
Yes, they would have been free to live as equals. The apes and the humans would
have been co-inhabitants of the earth rather than creatues in a superior-
inferior relationship. "Planet of the Apes" is a perfect example of why
language is so important.
Another reason I am disputing Mr. Burrough's opinion of this movie is its
strong message concerning how humans were treated by apes. When we watched
"Planet of the Apes," we cannot ....

Comparison Of Book And Movie "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest"
682 Words - 3 Pages.... story. In the movie, Bromden is nothing
more than a crazy Indian who doesn't want to talk so pretends to be deaf and
dumb. Much of the understanding and respect is lost in the transition between
book and movie. In the book, Bromden has flashbacks to his childhood, lighting
on significant points in his childhood. His background is never even brushed
upon in the movie. Of course it would have been nearly impossible to tell of
Bromdens life in a movie, much less show the world from his point of view as in
the book. Bromden is still a very interesting character but the real puzzle to
his problems is lost.
McMurphy is a very sly, cunning man. He knows how to play his gam ....
