Romeo And Juliet: Act III, Scene V

love in a mature and tender way. They will do anything to be with one another,
for their love surpasses any emotion for their familial or community ties. They
are willing to make any sacrifice in order to have their desire for one another
fulfilled. Both Romeo and Juliet enjoy each other's company on their first
morning together following their marriage and they do not w ....

My Perception Of William Shakespeare's Othello
2539 Words - 10 Pages.... reading this tragedy, the depth of Shakespeare's characters
continue to raise many questions in the minds of the reader. The way I
percieve the character of Othello and what concerns me, is that Othello is able
to make such a quick transition from love to hate of Desdemona. In Act 3, Scene
3, Othello states, "If she be false, O, then heaven mocks itself! I'll not
believe 't." (lines 294-295) Yet only a couple hundred lines later he says,
"I'll tear her to pieces" (line 447) and says that his mind will never change
from the "tyrannous hate" (line 464) he now harbors. Does Othello make the
transition just because he is so successfully manipulated by Iago? Or is there ....

Movie: The Fan
196 Words - 1 Pages.... Hector, also gives the movie exemplary reviews.
Robert DiNero plays a psychotic baseball fan who was an appalling father
and a die-hard for the game. This crazy man just wants credit for giving a Barry
Bonds-like player ( Wesley Snipes ) his number back. Unfortunately, the ‘fan'
gives Wesley his number back by killing the player who occupied the number
before him. When the baseball player's son is kidnapped by the disillusioned man,
the police held the man at gun point in the stadium. When the deranged man made
a move to open fire, the police gunned him down right on the ball field.
My attitude toward this hostile man was that he was very baneful and my
heart was ....

Character Analysis: Athena
628 Words - 3 Pages.... you, or you may hear
some rumour that god will send, which is often the best way for people to
get news." (Homer 17) If not for Athena, Telemachos might have taken his
father for dead and encouraged his mother to marry one of her suitors. But
Athena, under the disguise of Mentes advises Telemachos to go on a journey
to try to find out what happenened to Odysseus. This is important because
the journey of Telemachos played an important part of his becoming a man.
Athena also rescued Odysseus from certain death at the hands of
Poseidon Earthshaker and brought him to the island of Phaiacia. "Now it
was the turn of Athenaia the daughter of Zeus, and this was her plan. Sh ....

Epic Theatres
1073 Words - 4 Pages.... He conjectured that his form of
theatre was capable of provoking a change in society. Brecht's intention was
to encourage the audience to ponder, with critical detachment, the moral
dilemmas presented before them.
In order to analyse and evaluate the action occurring on stage, Brecht believed
that the audience must not allow itself to become emotionally involved in the
story. Rather they should, through a series of anti-illusive devices, feel
alienated from it. The effect of this deliberate exclusion makes it difficult
for the audience to empathise with the characters and their predicament. Thus,
they could study the play's social or political message and not the actu ....

Predestined Fate Of Oedipus
1151 Words - 5 Pages.... generations. When Iocaste and Laios gave birth to Oedipus
they were aware of the prophecy that he would one day kill his father and then
marry his mother. With this in mind they tried to have Oedipus killed to avoid
this horrible fate. However they couldn't kill him themselves because murder of
their own son would get the gods angry all over again. So they tried to get some
one to take Oedipus out to the mountains and let him die of natural causes. Some
people might argue that they are still indirectly responsible for the death but
apparently the Greeks only considered it bad if you were directly responsible
for the act of murder. The problem is that this person never lef ....

The Holy Trinity And The Isenheim Altarpiece
958 Words - 4 Pages.... point is at the center of the masonry altar, because this is the
eye level of the spectator, who looks up at the Trinity and down at the
tomb. The vanishing point, five feet above the floor level, pulls both
views together. By doing this, an illusion of an actual structure is
created. The interior volume of this 'structure' is an tension of the
space that the person looking at the work is standing in. The adjustment
of the spectator to the pictured space is one of the first steps in the
development of illusionistic painting. Illusionistic painting fascinated
many artists of the Renaissance and Baroque periods.
The proportions in this painting are so numer ....

To Be Shakespeare, Or Not To Be Shakespeare, That Is The Question
1928 Words - 8 Pages.... pearl and snowflake
have been placed strategically before the audience, so that there is no need to
listen to the language to create your own vision of Hamlet's world. Branaugh's
world is full of lavish affairs, freezing winters, and halls of mirrors. The
use of the camera has some definite advantages and disadvantages. First, since
the characters are no longer limited by a defined space, they are able to
deliver their long speeches while being in a constant state of motion. This
occurs in the scene with the guards, and most noticeably in the scene with
Laertes and Ophelia, before he leaves for France. This same scene demonstrates
how the camera enables the characters to ....
