The Crucible: Reverend John Hale - A Dynamic Character
438 Words - 2 Pages.... Domini Sabaoth sui filiique ite ad infernos,” which
means: In the name of the lord of hosts and his son get thee to the lower world.
This shows reverend Hales views on witchery. Another example of Hale's
character and his savings of witches is when he said, “Now Tituba, I know that
when we bind ourselves to Hell it is very hard to break with it. We are going
to help you tear yourself free-”
The point when Reverend Hale begins to change is in Act III during the
trial of John Proctor. “I am a minister of the lord, and I dare not take a life
without there be a proof so immaculate no slightest qualm of conscience may
doubt it.” He starts to doubt if the very thin ....

Analysis Of The Ending Of "Death Of A Salesman"
1229 Words - 5 Pages.... Willy finally decides to take his own life
([1] and [2]). Not only out of desperation because he just lost his job, with
which he was hardly earning enough to pay ordinary expenses at the end. He does
it primarily because he thinks that the life insurance payout [3] will allow
Biff to come to something [4], so that at least one of the Lomans will fulfill
his unrealistic dream of great wealth and success. But even here in one of his
last moments, while having a conversation with a ghost from the past, he
continues to lie to himself by saying that his funeral will be a big event [2],
and that there will be guests from all over his former working territory in
attendance. Yet ....

Macbeth: Ambition Is Root Of All Evil
576 Words - 3 Pages.... actual idea of killing Duncan into Macbeth's
mind. It must first be understood that in the Elizabethan Age, the witches
would have been taken very seriously, and that witchcraft was a part of their
culture. King James even wrote a book on the subject. Shakespeare foreshadows
Macbeth's corruption through his meeting with these three witches. (I,iii).
His thoughts are compared to Banquo's, whose morality, it seems, will not let
himself turn to evil. Banquo is skeptical of the witches, and tries to warn his
friend, who seems to accept what they say. Without this supernatural prophesy,
the thought of killing the king would have never crossed Macbeth's mind. The
thought is ....

Sleepless In Seattle
287 Words - 2 Pages.... should be able to feel and belive, to some degree. When exiting a movie,
I hope that I feel this way. Today, paying large sums of money for each visit to
the theater is tough to keep up. The audience expects an extra special
performance each and every visit. I want to feel good as I leave. This satisfies
my willingness to put out a large expence for this type of entertainment.
When I left "Sleepless in Seattle", I was in heaven. I had the feeling I
wanted. They movie brought me that "believer" feeling. I feel that the purpose
of this movie was to show the audience that fate is alive and well. I was shown
that there is someone out there for each and every one of us. I w ....

Grease: Theme
504 Words - 2 Pages.... of Fate" days of the 80's. This is also her only good movie -- you can't say anything nice about XANADU, so don't say anything at all.
People also love GREASE because it's the quintessential 50's nostalgia movie. It has everything, from the slumber party and malt shop to the dance contest and drag race. Better yet, it has a sense of humor about those days, to the point of including ultimate icon Frankie Avalon in the "Beauty School Dropout" dream sequence.
That brings up the main draw of GREASE -- the music. As I type this, at least one Top 40 station across the country is playing the "Grease Megamix," a medley of the three most popular songs from the movie ("You're the On ....

1641 Words - 6 Pages.... article, Particia Chrisholm, explains a heated debate over the
affects that the kids show "The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers" has on children.
According to this article, the "hemeted lycra covered Rangers" acts as a bad
influence on children. Many parents have come to believe that the childen try
to act like the kids hreo's. A cocerned mother, Kathryn Flannery went so far as
to petition the CRTC. The CRTC responded by saying that "the show is avassively
to violent."(Chrisholm 1994 p.52) As a result of the petiton, many stations

The Reasons Why Macbeth Is More Guilty By His Actions Then Lady Macbeth Is By Hers
433 Words - 2 Pages.... some killing on his own. Lady Macbeth did not have any
involvement in these cases. Based on these facts, Macbeth would be found
more guilty than Lady Macbeth.
The very first murder in this story was committed on Duncan. This crime
was planned by both Macbeth and Lady Macbeth. The actual murder was done by
Macbeth, making him more guilty of the crime. Lady Macbeth just talked
about committing the crime, but she never actually went through with it nor
would she ever, and that is all that counts. Talking about committing the
incident is very different from actually doing it. Lady Macbeth did a
little more than just talk about it though. She also urged Macbeth into
doing i ....

Julius Caesar: Roman Life During The First Triumvirate
743 Words - 3 Pages.... depict how throughout Rome, roaming the streets are mysterious sooth-sayers, who are supposedly given the power to predict the future. Dictating what is to come through terse tidbits, these people may also be looked upon as superstitious. In the opening scene, one sooth-sayer, old in his years, warns Caesar to "Beware the Ides of March," an admonition of Caesar's impending death. Although sooth-sayers are looked upon by many as insane out of touch lower-classmen, a good deal of them, obviously including the sayer Caesar encountered, are indeed right on the mark. Since they lack any formal office or shop, and they predict forthcomings without fee, one can see quite easily why ....
