... publications. The difference between Flynt's publication and Playboy is that Hustler is more explicitly raw and the pictures aren't touched up. This is a very controversial issue because it goes against the first amendment. Who is to say that someone doesn’t have the right to view certain materials. Americans don’t want someone else controlling what they can see and what they can’t see. Americans want as much freedom as they are entitled to and this was Larry Flynt’s defense. Even though Flynt’s attorney proclaimed that he didn’t agree with the particular content of Flynt’s publication, he didn’t want someone else telling him what and what not he had the righ ...

The cover of the wings of grasshoppers; Her traces of the smallest spiders web; Her collars of the moonshine's watery beams; Her whip of cricket's bone; the lash of film; Her waggoner a small grey-coated gnat, Not half so big as a round little worm Pricked from the lazy finger of a maid: Her chariot is an empty hazle-nut Made by the joiner squirrel, or old grub, Time out o' the fairies' coachmakers. And in this state she gallops night by night Through lovers brainsand then they dream of love; O'er the courtier's knees....”(ActI Scene iiii lines 62-73) Mercutio tells this story because that is the ...

... me" (1245)! Oedipus is now accusing Creon to be plotting to kill him. These illustrations surely demonstrate how quick Oedipus comes to judging and accusing others of very major and treacherous crimes. Oedipus repeatedly and falsely accused others of the crime that he committed, even though unknowing at the time. Even Creon tells him, "You cannot judge unless you know the facts" (1248). Creon tries to tell Oedipus to quit judging him because the facts, to Oedipus, were yet unknown. Another example of Oedipus habit of falsely accusing is a quote from Michael O'Brien, "Certain of Oedipus' past actions were fate-bound; but everything that he does on the sta ...

... He also had the option of making his claim public, but instead he chose not too. A tragic hero doesn't need to be good. For example, MacBeth was evil, yet he was a tragic hero, because he had free will. He also had only one flaw, and that was pride. He had many good traits such as bravery, but his one bad trait made him evil. Also a tragic hero doesn't have to die. While in all Shakespearean tragedies, the hero dies, in others he may live but suffer "Moral Destruction". In Oedipus Rex, the proud yet morally blind king plucks out his eyes, and has to spend his remaining days as a wandering, sightless beggar, guided at every painful step by his daughter, Antigone ...

... layered composition of free-floating lines and areas of color, with the intention to reveal his desire to instill visual form with the properties of music. By 1915, Malevich had invented a new, abstract visual set of paintings consisting of one or more colored geometric shapes on a white field. He visualized a state of feeling, and a sense of bliss and wonder. Mondrian took a different approach with tighter geometric orientation and stricter compositional order. He was also inspired by landscape but he interpreted it as a series of interlocking vertical and horizontal lines. It would be hard to advance any definition of abstract expressionism without tak ...

... that is aimed at a particular character. Some of the funniest moments are when one character is sarcastic to another. One of the best examples of this is when Capulet asks Lady Capulet for a sword and she replies “A crutch, a crutch! Why call you for a sword?” In this line the mockery of Capulet is obvious and appealing to the audience as it is direct. Shakespeare is known to be fond of puns and uses them quite regularly but he doesn't use them as often as the Elizabethan audience expected him to. Shakespeare starts of the play with a lot of humour, with the conversation between Sampson and Gregory, both of them using a lot of puns. This type of punning, ...

... felt like dying instead of going through all this. Since black symbolizes death I figured that Elizabeth maybe felt black, like putting herself out of the misery of all this charging rather than go along with it. She gets blamed for many things that she did not do. For example she is accused of poking Abby with a needle by a poppet. Mary must also feel black because she meant no harm by putting a needle inside of the poppet and yet she gets in trouble also. The black signifies Elizabeth's anger hate for Abby. It is clearly shown when she says that Abby should be ripped out of the world and that Abby is murder. Black also signifies confusion. Fi ...

... breast, where as Duncan is, king, she would tear it from her and "dash'd the brains out" to have the opportunity MacBeth does. This shows how mad and sadistic she was. She had absolutely no self- conscience, and thought nothing about the wrong they were soon to commit. Later on, after the murders, she, unlike MacBeth, still shows no signs of a conscience. She is very cool and collected, while MacBeth hallucinates and goes temporarily mad. Lady MacBeth on the other hand, takes everything calmly. She takes the daggers back to the King's room, smears blood on the drunken guards, and attempts to destroy all evidence of MacBeth ever being there. She knows what ...

... blindly accuse others of pseudo-crimes, and follow wholeheartedly and blindly, when others accuse. Is it perhaps simple human nature to fear and hate that which we do not know? Is the human race, as a whole, really this close to the swamps and oceans from which we pulled ourselves? Has evolution really just played some sort of immense prank on us, bestowing upon us the gifts of reason and judgment, but blurring them with prejudice and blind hatred? (Too many question...Not enough answers... Isn't that always the case?) The Crucible is an incredible book, through the medium of a historical event it manages to shine a light into the cold, dark, depths o ...
