.... different beliefs created a church led Puritan society that was not able to accept a lot of change. The church was against the devil, at the same time it was against such things as dancing and other premature acts. The reputation of the family was very important to the members of the community. When the girls were caught dancing in the woods, they lied to protect not just themselves but the reputation of their families. They claimed that the devil took them over and influenced them to dance. The girls also said that they saw members of the town standing with the devil. A community living in a puritan society like Salem could easily go into a chaotic state and have a difficult ....

.... we are in the real world. This was even more resounding when they were lost in the desert. The characters seemed so tiny in the outback of Australia. I felt that the music attributed to the movie greatly. The film at times was almost easier to understand with the music. I especially thought that when the Aborigine did his ritual dancing that the music was really neat. Some things in the film were just unexplainable. I did not understand why the father in the beginning did anything that he did. Having a picnic in the desert, shooting at the kids, committing suicide and then blowing up the car. I also thought that the oasis was quite odd. The water and fruit were ....

.... King trusted him completely “O Valiant cousin! Worthy gentleman!â€� and appreciated his effort in war by giving the title “Thane of Cawdorâ€� to “noble Macbethâ€�. A pronouncement made by three witches that Macbeth will be King , served as the primary catalyst for the development of evil in Macbeth’s heart. Macbeth struggles with the choice, should he let the witches prophecies realize themselves, or should he take steps to achieve them. Under the cloaking shadows of his skins, Macbeth hides his one weakness-that is ambition. His wife knows of his ambition and stirs to act on it. She calls him a “cowardâ€� and states that in killing the King, Macbeth will â ....

.... warning and his death was partially due to his over confidence. On the other hand Plutarch gives him a more sensitive reaction to the dream in saying, "Caesar himself, it seems was affected and by no means easy in his mind." Moreover, Plutarch's writings show the long string of coincidences almost as Fate were deeming it necessary for him to die, and that he had no control over it. "...the scene of the final struggle and of the assassination made it perfectly clear that some heavenly power was involved...directing that it" (the assassination) "should take place just here. For here stood a statue of Pompey..." This stating that Caesar's murder was the deceased Pompey's rev ....

.... his name.� (a1 s2 L105-109) Cassius goes through so much trouble to get to Brutus because he “sits high in all the people’s hearts.� (a1 s3 L157) Cassius goes out of his way to tell Brutus of Caesar’s weaknesses and faults. He eagerly plays upon Brutus’ words as they come from his mouth. Cassius proved himself manipulative in getting Brutus to join the conspiracy. Decius manipulates Caesar’s thinking into leaving the safety of his home. Each reason Caesar brought up to stay in his home, Decius gave him an explanation in which he should forget them and go to the capitol. Primarily, Caesar’s reason was his wife, Calphurnia, whom had “dreamt...she saw ....

.... that she must discontinue the role of a doll and seek out her individuality. David Thomas describes the initial image of Nora as that of a doll wife who revels in the thought of luxuries that can now be afforded, who is become with flirtation, and engages in childlike acts of disobedience (259). This inferior role from which Nora progressed is extremely important. Ibsen in his "A Doll's House" depicts the role of women as subordinate in order to emphasize the need to reform their role in society. Definite characteristics of the women's subordinate role in a relationship are emphasized through Nora's contradicting actions. Her infatuation with luxuries such as expensive ....
