.... English word for fate, and there was nothing which the individual could do to change his destiny. The most famous writing from this epoch is the epic poem Beowulf. Beowulf, the main character, had no fear of the evil monster Grendel because he believed "Grendel and I are called/ Together," by fate. He also displayed his faith in the beliefs of society when he told Hrogthgar "Fate will unwind as it must." When Grendel died, the soldiers "had no semse of sorrow, felt no regret for his sufferings," because they believed Grendel was destined to die, and there was no way to defy destiny. They also did not pity Grendel because they considered him to be entirely evil becaus ....

.... leaves to ponder the "plotting" of his son Edgar. Edmund soliloquizes, "This is the excellent foppery of the world, that when we are sick in fortune... ...we make guilty of our disasters the sun, the moon, and stars, as if we were villains on necessity; fools by heavenly compulsion." (I. ii. 32) for the sole purpose of illustrating his wickedness. Edmund realizes that his evil is self-taught. This soliloquy shows the audience Edgar's foolishness in his belief that malevolence is the force that drives one to greatness or prosperity. It also illustrates the bastard's mistaken belief that by fooling his father, he might be able to eliminate Edgar, the competition ....

.... effects. The techniques used by the cinematographer brought this film to life. This is what sets Citizen Kane apart from other films. Symbolism has an enormous role in this film. “Rosebud” is the last word uttered by Cane. He then dies and takes his secret to the death. The film follows one reporter on his search to the truth. Throughout the film, the tragical existence of powerful newspaper tycoon Charles Foster Kane, becomes apparent. He spends most of his life in solitude.

.... whom she murdered, an event, which is closely tied to her worst pain. The action of killing Beloved occurred while she was trying to kill all her, children and it is the reason that two of her children run from her because they fear for their lives. Beloved wishes to consume Sethe, she wants to own Sethe, a relation not unlike that of a master and slave. "I am Beloved and she is mine," (Morrison 211) is one of the more eerie statements in the book. How Beloved traps Sethe is simple, for Sethe "the future was a matter of keeping the past at bay" (Morrison 42) and when her past, Beloved, catches up with her the future is gone and she is enslaved. What's more, Beloved does ....

.... lifetime only one thing is eternal. Power, power and fame. Does anyone remember the true lovers? No, but no one ever forgets power. Who was the most powerful man in the world in the BC. era, Caesar, the ruler of all of Europe. And next came Christ, the essence of power, power over not only those of his day, but still to all of those who fight his holy wars in these latter days.

.... a nonexistent nose … But his eyes, dimmed a little by many paintless days under sun and rain, brood on over the solemn dumping ground.” (27 - 28) The eyes of Dr. Eckleburg are really a billboard for an optician in Queens, however, if you start at the beginning, they mean so much more than that. We see that the setting of the novel is described as a very dismal place, lacking hope, dark and brooding, when Fitzgerald calls it “gray land” that “drifts endlessly.” Then, all of a sudden, the bright eyes of Dr. Eckleburg appear on the horizon. The blueness and the size of the eyes give the reader a sense of the sky, and heavens with God in ....

.... the Railroad Standard Timewent into effect. This exhibit has preserved the electrical clocks, as wellas their spring and weight driven predecessors. The exhibit also indirectlyaddresses the concepts of the industrial revolution. While the exhibit wasinformative, it was not lacking in its downfalls. Organization and researchare two areas in need of refinement. Otherwise, the site is trulyinformative. Upon ascending to the highest floor of the Annex building, the museum visitor is greeted by twenty, authentic clocks, dating from 1880 through 1945, none of which is bound behind a display of any kind. The vast array of beautiful clocks, of which sixteen of the twenty ar ....

.... society, all printed materials are banned. Books and reading materials are banned because city officials believe that reading allows you to think on your own and they discourage individualism. This society had a box, sort of like a mailbox, which stood outside of the firemen's station. If someone suspected or had seen someone else with a book, that person took identification of the person with the book(s) and left it inside the box. Then the firemen, completely different from our firemen, went out to that person's house and burned all of the books that Guy Montag, who is the main character in this story, is a fireman. On his way home from work, Montag meets a young lady, Cla ....
