... the boy and hit him. After a little convincing they all agreed to a pact not to tell anyone and threw the boy’s body over the cliff and into the water below. No one saw them do this. In the movie, it was a man named David Egan who was killed. Another man killed David and his body was thrown over the edge of the cliff. It just so happened that the four teenagers, Julie, Ray, Helen, and Barry, where driving by at the time. David’s body hit the hood of the car while Barry was distracting everyone in the car. They all believed that they hit David as he was walking across the road and decided to through his body into the sea. As they were moving to body to the car so ...

... he states, "I do not so secure me in the error, but the main article I do approve in the fearful sense (I 3 12-14)," he is showing that he will not rely solely on the information he is receiving, but also use common sense, memory, and understanding, and therefore judge rightly. Only after right judgement was used did he take action, and therefore avoid disaster. The Duke is a model of right judgement who can be compared to other characters in the play to show their weaknesses and shortcomings. In the same scene, right judgement is demonstrated again by the Duke, when he is faced with the mater of Othello marrying Desdemona. Initially, the Duke rejects wise judg ...

... implications of such an event as well as the faith that one has to have afterwards. It is ironic that Arroway falls back on faith to believe her journey took place upon her return after having shunned faith that others had in God before. The movie did not deal with the Cold War politics that Sagan's book dealt with mainly because of the release date of this movie. The movie was made well after the end of the Cold War and the efforts to build a space pod for space travel is depicted as being an international effort. The feasibility of the events in Contact is not too far from reality. The movie makes the assumption that the alien civilization that con ...

... people killed, and is eventually slain by Macduff when he and Malcolm return leading the armies of England. Often people read the play and automatically conclude that Macbeth's tragic flaw is his ambition; that he is compelled to commit so many acts of violence by his lust for power. However, by carefully examining the first act, one can determine the defect in Macbeth's character that creates his ambition; his true tragic flaw. Macbeth's tragic flaw is not his ambition as most people believe, but rather his trust in the words of the witches and in his wife's decisions. At the beginning of the play Macbeth has no designs on the throne, and he does not start pl ...

... and blaming Caesar for being ambitious. His main reason for the deed committed by his colleagues and him was their pride and duty to his country. Being general in his statements left the crowd to understand more easily Brutus’s side of the story and accept him and what he did. Antony begins his speech with an innocent eulogy, but instead incites his audience into a riot, looking for Brutus's death and wrongfully killing Cinna the Poet. He does this by appealing to their emotions. Bringing Caesar's body for everyone to see made them see for themselves the reality of Caesar's death. Pointing out the stab wounds that the conspirators inflicted drove them further into ...

... in and responsible for what happens." I agree with this quote. In the rest of this essay you will read why. One reason why it is a tragedy of a city is because almost everyone is involved. Almost the whole city attended the party which the Capulets held. Even Romeo attended the party. Now the audience of the play knows that even the city's citizens are involved. The next reason is when Benvolio and Tybalt exchange insults. At first they just argue. Then within a blink of an eye, you see masses of people fighting. People come from all sides. To me, it looked as if the whole town was present at the brawl. The third and most consequential reas ...

... is an honorable man, and tells them that he will let them judge the validity of his claims. That is, he will allow the truth to speak for itself. This encourages the crowd to believe him, as an honorable man. He says that he wants them to know the facts; "Censure me in your wisdom, and awake your senses that you may the better judge." Sharing information with the people is flattering and it almost guarantees acceptance. He gets their sympathy by saying that he loved Caesar, daring the people to find anyone who loved Caesar more. Brutus declares that he never wronged Caesar, that he cried for Caesar's love, was happy for his greatness, honored him fo ...

... buckle was added. The light weight ski-pants of the 50's gradually gave way to flares, bell bottoms, and loon pants, bright colors, novel materials, chunky rings, and sports cars were all part of the 60's look. In the early 60's, the teenagers world was suddenly hit by the rock- n- roll of phenomenon of the Beatles. Teens idoled rock stars and let their hair grow long and wore bright, wild colored clothes. Leather offered great opportunities for self - expression. The clothes were influenced by stage performers. The 60's was a reflection of the power of Jimi Hendrix, the Beatles, and the Rolling Stones. It was the beginning of the fashion reversal. Some pop ...

... the ghost of his dead father would be enough to warrant that he is insane. The only fact that hinders this observation is the fact that others saw the ghost as well and were even the ones who told young Hamlet of his appearance. Many may see Hamlet being insane only by the worldly view of him being different. Though towards the end of the play in Act III, Gertrude calls her son to her chambers to discuss the reasoning of his putting on a play so closely related to the death of his father. She tells him how upset Claudius is and is weary of Hamlet's recent actions. At this Hamlet explodes on his mother and threatens to kill her. Gertrude cries for help, an ...

... Iago has given him. He goes out of control and eventually kills Desdemona thinking that she has did something wrong. Othello has many tragic flaws. He is a really gullible person, for example he was tricked by Iago; thinking that Desdemona was really having an affair with Cassio. “ ` Did he confess it?'” (134). He trusts Iago too much and totally relies on Iago therefore making him really vulnerable to Iago's evilish schemes. Othello's gullibility causes him to be jealous. He let's his jealousy take over, he looses control of himself and acts on his jealous emotions, he let's his jealousy clutter his mind and good judgment. “`Damn her, lewd minx! O, damn h ...
