.... of Romeo’s melancholy may be caused by his love for Rosaline, and her lack of love for him. In the beginning of the play, we learn that Romeo is pursuing the young lady, Rosaline, which he is in love with, but who does not share that love, “[o]ut of her favor when I am in love”(1.1.166). Romeo learns that the Capulet’s are throwing a great party, in which Rosaline is attending. Although it is dangerous for a Montague to appear in this assembly, Romeo risks his life just to see his love. Benvolio also persuades the young lord to go in the disguise of a mask, “[g]o thither, and with unattained eye”(1.2.87). Benvolio’s plan is ....

.... realistic character Shylock to dictate the trial scene by through his limited roles in the play. Constantly mocked and insulted by Antonio's and others' diatribes, Shakespeare immediately identifies Shylock as a villain. Establishing Shylock's personality through his description that "hath not a Jew hands, … affections, passions" shows that Shylock becomes limited by those descriptions (MV 3.1.56-8). Hence, Shylock conforms "no more than an opportunity for bringing him to life" because Shylock like the other characters, once created, determines the plot and the plot determines them (Palmer 114). With a great importance of first impression or lines of a character ....

.... It is difficult to replicate an outdoors scene in a theatre. Also, some of the techniques used when filming outdoors create a symbolic message. A portion of the scenes before the beginning of the witchcraft trials is seen in a downpour of rain, possibly foreshadowing doom and dreariness to come. There were some scenes added or adapted in the movie as opposed to the play. First, the large group of "stricken" girls, which indeed had a greater number than did the group in the play, left the church meeting at the beginning of the movie to see about Betty's condition. Betty seemed to be much more violent in the movie and she tried to jump out of the window, which did not occur in ....

.... population not to mention lowering the worlds poverty line. But they don’t... and the fact that he convinced the whole United States that they needed to waste time and money on nuclear weapons in space to fight the communists. The Soviets were just as stupid, I mean having this stupid competition with the U.S. for who could build the biggest bomb? How immature is that? Can you believe they want to put this morons face on Mount Rushmore to be remembered as a great president? This has got to be a joke. I mean Reagan, their fearless leader, also catered to the paranoia factor that so many fascist dickheads live off of, therefore fueling the fires of fascism in the U.S. And fo ....

.... subjects that would touch the heart, while not bruising a person’s pride. The Taming of the Shrew had four main subjects: 1) marriage, 2) money, 3) class distinctions, and 4) love. While marriage and courtship were the main focal points of this play, the other three subjects were made very obvious. Shakespeare chose these elements for his play not solely because they were basic, he chose them because they grasped people’s lives in his day. While these subjects reached the heart, the thought of change was brought forth from these subjects. The change was not only in actions, but feelings as well. For example, Petruchio made it plain that he did not want to wed ....

.... try to prove them wrong? We probably won’t be recognized, and even if we try, there will probably be someone waited to criticize us. It is a shame to say it but this is the way most of us feel. Young people don’t have an opinion until they are in trouble. We don’t get credit for the good things we do. How many times do you see the names of the students who are trying to make a difference printed in the newspaper compared to the number of times you see our names in the “arrest made” section? It’s bad when children aren’t fortunate enough to be praised for their actions in their own home but they can’t even get it at school anymore. I was recently in ....

.... the minds and hearts of an ever-changing American culture. Some of the earliest forms of literature are the myths that have been passed down through history. Myths directly represent the culture and time period from which they were born (Bercovitch and Jehlen 70). Ideological meanings can be assigned to history through the myths that evolved from a particular society. Present day politics has its roots in the mythology that was passed down through Greek and Roman culture. The myth is the primary language of historical memory (Bercovitch and Jehlen 70). The demonstration of the influence mythology has had on times gone by and the present is a perfect example of t ....

.... be banned, not to mention the amount of money they cost, and the space they take up. The main reason nuclear weapons should be banned is the simple fact that they kill or severely injure. The most remembered use of a nuclear weapon was during World War 2, when we, the U.S., used the bomb on Nagasaki and Hiroshima killing millions and destroying everything in those cities. Not everyone died at once, some people died instantly while others died a slow, agonizing, painful death. The painful death was caused by fallout, which is a radioactive chemical used in making the bomb. The chemical is usually radium or plutonium, and is very deadly when inhaled. The stuff is spread ....
