.... the title of an epic Heroin. Antigone is one of the lucky townsfolk to be born of a royal house, yet is unlucky to be born in the House that she is born into. As Antigone defies Creon's law, she is cast into a pool of danger between what she believes is right and what the state's law decrees is right. As Antigone is charged with the burying of her brother, an action which the King has declared unlawful, she holds like stone to her undying gratitude for her deceased brother. She holds to this thought because of the fact that she believes that her, who died fighting against the state, must be interred with the same honor as her brother who died defending the state. She beli ....

.... This is exactly what happens. In this essay, I will write about this, and many other similarities, and differences of "", and "a Cornish Mystery. In the "", the action takes place all in one night. However in "A Cornish Mystery", The action takes place over the coarse several days. Also, in the story, the action took place in the big city, while the movie mainly took place in a small town. I think the movie was much easier to follow than the story. Within the first twenty minutes of the movie, I noticed at least five differences, and I wasn’t really looking that hard for the differences. I found some similarities, but not as many as differences. One difference is that ....

.... Hamlet is very displeased with his mother's hasty marriage of Claudius and is angered by this incest. Hamlet has a deep attraction for his mother which goes beyond the traditional, mother-son relationship. At this point in the play, Hamlet does not know that Claudius has murdered his father, but he dislikes him anyway. Claudius is not a bad king, which is demonstrated by his handling of the situation between Young Fortinbras and Denmark, but he is not extremely popular with the people and has brought back the obnoxious custom of firing the cannons whenever the king takes a drink. Claudius' conscience, here is non-existent. After the ghost of the dead King Haml ....

.... continues with its frivolous ways until there is no money left (the final night they have in the house before it is auctioned, they throw an extravagant party, laughing in the face of impending financial ruin) Even when Lopakhin attempts to rescue the family with ideas that could lead to some of the estate being retained, they dismiss his ideas under the illusion that the situation is not so desperate that they need to compromise any of their dignity. Lopakhin: As you know, your cherry orchard's being sold to pay your debts. The auction is on the twenty second of August. But there's no need to worry, my dear. You can sleep s ....

.... and irrational tendencies, still being undertaken today, discourages the ‘civilized' man from making rash and foolish actions. Thus every action should have a sound and logical purpose, based on the social norms.

.... of the stain. These are the first signs of blood in this great tragedy of Macbeth. Another well known quotation that was said by Macbeth is, "I will have blood, they say; blood will have blood." (3.4.151) This was said by Macbeth, as he was having one of his many mental breakdowns. These breakdowns were caused by just this issue of a bloody play. Macbeth created the bloodlines, and now he must suffer the consequences.

In Ibsen's A Doll House, Nora is forced to deal with the problem of gender stereotyping, brought on by her husband's dominance in the household as well as male domination in society as a whole, which leads to her feministic decision at the end of the play. Nora is also presented with the problem of hereditary determinism, as she suffers as a result of her father's past; however, she does not suffer alone. This time Dr. Rank is limited by his father's history as well. Therefore, through the problems of determinism in society (gender role and heredi ....

.... clothing, possessions and even the car added to the effect that Steinbeck had created when he wrote his novel long ago. As the movie progresses, there is actually two stories, one of the individual journey of the Joad family, and one for telling the general plight of the migrants. The director shows the individual family to show that the migrants are really people and to bring their plight home to the audience. The general story is told to show how it is affecting large numbers of people. Throughout the movie, we watch the Joads progress from a concern only for themselves and their own personal welfare to a concern for all the people in the world. This shift from individual ....
