.... Poppy Field in a Hollow near Giverny (Poppy Field) by Monet and The Ravine by Van Gogh will allow us to further investigate the two artists’ stylistic orientation. Both paintings are dealing with similar subjects and have comparable compositions. As impressionists, Monet and Van Gogh brought great attention to the surface of the landscape as well as to the surface of the canvas. The viewer is completely aware that the images of are illusions. Both paintings are about impression and color sensation. However, the approaches behind these paintings are quite distinctive. As a result, the contexts of the impressions portrayed are different also. Compositionally, Monet and ....

.... being affiliated with the Jets and Maria with the Sharks, Tony and Maria partook in forbidden love much like Romeo and Juliet. Much like Tybalt, Bernado disapproved of their love and was quick to fight with anymember of the Jets or Tony. However, Anita, Bernardo's girlfriend, approved of their love because she just wanted to see Maria happy like the Nurse. Overwhelmed by all the fighting, Baby John was much like Tybalt's peace keeping foil character, Mercutio. Lastly, Doc tried to help Tony and stop all the insanity around him like Friar Laurence. In both stories, comic relief occurred to keep the audience interested, but the two plays usually differed in th ....

.... . . . " and "That will be ere the set of sun." (I. i. 1,4) foreshadow the king's death. The imagery of light and dark continues throughout the play. "Stars, hide your fires; Let not light see my black and deep desires." (I. iv. 50-51) demonstrates Macbeth's step toward evil. Most of the corrupt or unusual events in Macbeth occur under a cloak of darkness. The murders, Lady Macbeth's sleepwalking, and the appearance of the witches all take place at night. Lady Macbeth's sleepwalking scene is the epitome of the light/darkness symbol. She once craved the darkness but now carries a candle to dispel it. The line, "She has light by her continually; 'tis her command." (V ....

.... the two families. "Was Franco Zeffili's film version of the play "Romeo and Juliet an improvement over Shakespeares play?" Yes, Franco Zeffelli's film was an improvement over Shakespeares play because he changed the dialogue a little, he made the location better, and the Tybalt and Romeo duel was action packed. I really liked the real elaborate scenery in the movie. I liked all the nice looking buildings. I also liked the scenery because it was real open and right in the center of the city. Franco Zeffelli really added a lot to the great battle scene between Romeo and Tybalt. In the actual play the fight sounded stupid and it seemed like it barely lasted a ....

.... is very human; he has feelings and friends and he is a war-hero. As time elapses, he begins to change into a ruthless killer, "a tyrant". Once he meets the witches and learns he will become king he begins to plot and think murderously. When he arrived at a plot to kill Duncan, and told Lady Macbeth, he realized it was the only way. However, in doing this he made a lot of people suspicious. This meant that more people would have to be killed, and this included the king's son who was next in line for the throne. At this point Macbeth experiences the first of a number of breakdowns, and he begins to lose his human characteristics. Macbeth begins to fall into a murderous rage ....

.... But since Hamlet loved his mother very much, he ruled out the Claudius must have been the one that commanded and came up with the strategy of acquiring power. One other thing that had to be a motive for Hamlet actions, was that all the people around him stopped mourning the king’s death and started celebrating the marriage between his mother and Claudius. And including that it seemed to be happier with her new partner than with Hamlet’s father. When it came down to love life, the whole idea he had of acting crazy affected Ophelia. Therefore obliterating the love he had shown her before during the peaceful times. And his action would later drive Ophelia to kill hers ....

.... 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 ....

.... lived in the same world as the men, and they interfered in the men's lives as they chose to. It was the gods who sent suffering and evil to men. In the plays of Sophocles, the gods brought about the hero's downfall because of a tragic flaw in the character of the hero. In Greek tragedy, suffering brought knowledge of worldly matters and of the individual. Aristotle attempted to explain how an audience could observe tragic events and still have a pleasurable experience. Aristotle, by searching the works of writers of Greek tragedy, Aeschulus, Euripides and Sophocles (whose Oedipus Rex he considered the finest of all Greek tragedies), arrived at his definition of tragedy. Thi ....
