.... becomes corrupted by a lust for wealth, power and immortality. As we take a closer look at the theme that is expressed by Kane’s ex-wife Susan we learn that things weren’t always what they had seemed. Thompson meets with Susan at a nightclub and questions her about Kane. She remembers that Kane "was really interested in my voice. What do you suppose he built that opera house for? I didn't want it. I didn't want to sing. It was his idea. Everything was his idea, except my leaving him." Her flashback tells of her singing lessons, her operatic career, and their final days together at Xanadu. ....

.... Wherefore should I Stand in the plague of custom, and permit The curiosity of nations to deprive me For that I am some twelve or fourteen moonshines Lag of a brother? Why "bastard"? Wherefore "Base," It is shown that Edmund feels as though he is selected against for something that is not his fault. So, throughout this play Edmund plays with and destroys those characters that are in the high class that does not include bastard sons. This is the only rationalization for Edmund's evil inclination. We find that today, the pattern of people out casted by society and committing evil acts as a way to be strong in such a weak position, still shows its self despite ....

.... is made by Romeo Montague and his friend Benvolio. This is the error that sets up the rest of them throughout the story. They have to disgiuse themselves in order to get into the Capulet household, who is hosting a ball. By doing so, they easily manipulate the servant into letting both of them in. Before entering, Romeo replies to Benvolio, “ I’ll go along, no such sight to be shown, but to rejoice in spledor of mine own.” (I,iii, 105-106) It is evident in the opening scenes that there is conflict between the households of the Montagues and the Capulets, whom which Juliet belongs to. If Benvolio did not suggest to Romeo to go to the ball, Romeo would have never lai ....

.... is truly the ultimate television heroine. A discussion on contemporary popular culture and especially on media culture could never be complete without bringing up Madonna. She can be discussed in terms of feminism, ideology, hegemony and commercialism as seen in both Kaplan's as well as in John Fiske's article on British Cultural Studies. In order to properly explain how the “Madonna Phenomenon” has become such an important concept in media studies, one must look first at how influential MTV (music television) has become in the last decade. MTV addresses the “desires, fantasies, and anxieties” of young people(Kaplan 270) who have, like myself, grown up in a decade w ....

.... But we must not, therefore, deny him an entirely human complexity of motives. For example, his fighting in Duncan's service is magnificent and courageous, and his evident joy in it is traceable in art to the natural pleasure which accompanies the explosive expenditure of prodigious physical energy and the euphoria which follows. He also rejoices no doubt in the success which crowns his efforts in battle - and so on. He may even conceived of the proper motive which should energize back of his great deed: The service and the loyalty I owe, In doing it, pays itself. But while he destroys the king's enemies, such motives work but dimly at best and are obscured in his consciou ....

.... Then one night someone was playing the harpsichord just like his wife did. Another time a servant heard his wife whispering to her. Then one night someone trashed her room. Dom Madena, also called Nicholas, heard his wife calling him. He went through a secret passageway until he entered the room of all the torturing devices. He goes to his wife grave, which they dug up to prove she was dead, and she popped out of her grave. She chased him through the dungeon until they met with the doctor. Then Nicholas fainted, and his wife, who never really died, told him that it was all scheme. She and the doctor were having an affair. He chased the doctor and he fell into a pit an ....

.... following speech where Lady Macbeth doubts that he can get to the title of King "he is too full of the milk of human kindness" shows just how close they were. It establishes the fact that she knew him so well, she knew what he was like and it emphasises the closeness of their relationship. She speaks of how he has enough ambition but not enough courage. His "overiding ambition" is not enough. When Macbeth and Lady Macbeth speak, they speak to eachother with such closeness and bond; he calls her his "dearest chuck", his "partner of greatness". She knows that he is too weak to do anything and states her position in the murder "leave the rest to me". In Act 1, Scene 7 establis ....

.... I think Gilbert resents his mother because of all of the things he misses out on. I also think he might blame his mother for his father killing himself, but at the same time he blames his father for his situation as well as his mother situation. I think this theory comes into play when his mother dies, and 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 ever ....
