... comments on the speed of her remarriage Within a month, Ere yet the salt of most unrighteous tears Had left the flushing in her galled eyes, She married. O, most wicked speed, to post With such dexterity to incestuous sheets! It is not, nor it cannot come to good. (Hoy, 11) It is understandable Hamlet is upset with his mother for forgetting about his father and marrying his uncle, Claudius. In Hamlet's eyes, his father deserves more than one month of mourning and by remarrying so quickly, the queen has sullied King Hamlet's memory. This remarriage is a sin and illegal, however special dispensation was made because she is queen. Hamlet's opinio ...

... passes by a page that has an attractive woman on it, of course he is going to take a second and look. When he stops to look at the woman he will see what is advertised and when he does this the advertisers have accomplished what they set out to do. The man sees this woman in the advertisement and believes that by buying this product perhaps he will attract a women like this. For example, in a Bacardi Rum advertisement from a recent men's sports magazine, there is a picture of a women's waistline and she is holding a glass of rum along with a lime.

... of having to look up to see the whole view. One of the castings of the human mind is that when one has to look up at something, it brings on a feeling of insignificance. Another thing that gives the viewer the feeling that Half Dome is massive is the size of the moon in relation to the rock. Although it is actually small in the Earth's sky, the moon always has the influence of being great, and anything that dwarfs it can become ominous. The black and white of the photograph also assists in giving the viewer the impression that Half Dome is enormous. The darkness of the sky draws the eye to it because among the vast blackness the moon is oddly white and somewhat blur ...

... with a sexual relationship that by the ethics of the time was considered as incest. But worst of all: it is a regicide, which to an Elizabethan was outright sacrilege. Though Hamlet is fully aware that it is his task to clear things up, he keeps on procrasti nating and has got many excuses for not acting. The explanations are valid, and the only peculiar fact is that Hamlet has got so many reasons for waiting - a different one each time. Furthermore, it is characteristic in Hamlet that he only receives problems when he at last seizes the sword. He is convinced that he has nailed his villainous uncle Claudius, when he kills a person who is spyin ...

... a scene was cut you could focus on a different picture, then go back to what happened. My second example is that the movie was black and white. Since their was a lot of special effect in the film the movie should have been coloured. The special effects would have looked neater since a lot of killing was shot. If the movie was coloured the audience would focus on the screen often, rather than seeing a black and white screen. The settings and the props were not prepared well. My first example is that the boys shirts, were clean everyday. Their clothes should be black and grey, because of the dirt and all the smoke from the fire. For example Simons' shirt was a ...

... real King Arthur who was (really a 6th century ruler) transported through time to better fit the needs of the populas. The "transporting" begins in and around the 15th century. A man by the name of Thomas Malory felt the extreme need to give France, his country, a hero(s) in a time of great disappear. He felt it necessary to do this because the feudalist time in which he was living in, was slowly dying. He thought that if he could show people how many great hero(s) came out of this time period it would revive and flourish once more. He then turned to history to find such a hero. As needed to remedy the situation he found King Arthur of Britain. Even though ...

... after situation, Oedipus lets his human nature take over. He kept stubborn in the search for the truth about his birth even though everyone around him advised him not to continue. Because he thought he was justified in his search, he continued and found nothing but disaster. Both the plays Oedipus and Oedipus at Colonus describe what happens to us individuals when we let our human nature take over and blind us. In the final play "Antigone", the tragic hero is King Creon. In the previous plays, King Creon seemed like a reasonable man who would listen to other people's advice (unlike Oedipus). However, when he becomes king, he begins to neglect this reas ...

... prefer a better "mold" than Kate, in other words, she does not carry herself as well as Bianca. Kate does not play the coy flirting games, and is therefore thought of as harsher than Bianca. Bianca, however, knows how to be flirtatious, witty, and coy around her admirers, and yet is almost intentionally mean to Kate. For instance, Bianca knows that it hurts Kate to have no suitors while she (Bianca) has several. Bianca uses this to hurt Kate. When Kate tries to find out which suitor Bianca really likes, Bianca swears that she won't take the suitor that Kate likes. She casually offers Kate whichever suitor she wants. Kate is enraged by this because she knows ...

... when he states "Ship wrecking storms and direful thunders break" (1. 2. l26). Again this darkness imagery contributes to the ominous atmosphere of the play, having reference to thunder and dark storms. Finally, Lady Macbeth and Macbeth are talking in the scene just before the murder of Banquo and Macbeth says "Light thickens, and the crow makes wing to the rooky wood: Good things of day begin to droop and drowse, whiles night's black agents to their preys do rouse" (3. 2. l50-53). This example of darkness imagery is saying that the day is turning into night, all the good things are going to sleep, and the evil creatures are coming out . The evil in thi ...

He was carrying a medium black and white suitcase, from where they pulled the gun. The woman was also young, may be working to 20 or 22 years old. She was wearing shorts and a red shirt. She was the most nervous and she was the one who ordered everybody to line on the floor and picked the guys as hostages. When they ordered the hostages to line on the floor, one girl escaped from the place and called the police. The couple didn't ask for anything special. They just began to scream saying that they had the pow ...
