... of the theme of the film was activated when Scarlett O’Hara, the young heroine, was disgusted with the boys talking about war all the time. Her innocence and carefree nature could be seen in that scene. I was in awe with the lavish scene, beautifully costumed and photographed at the Twelve Oak’s ball and barbecue. Its magnificence suggests an idyllic culture with warming and abundant security. The major characters were one by one introduced with immeasurable boldness that draws the viewer to them. I was immediately attracted to the lighthearted and beautiful Scarlett when I first saw her. War was then introduced, and the South is looking toward the dreadfulness ...

... in the play however, being the hero of one plot and the villian of another. He is the hero by avenging his fathers death, while being the villian by killing Polonious and causing Ophellia's insanity. Her insanity being caused by Hamlet's murder of her father is proven when she sings "He is dead and gone lady, he is dead and gone, at his head a green grass turf, at his haed a stone." (Shakespeare, 383) Hamlet is also faced with the awareness of evil and longs for death, being disgusted with life. He thinks that life is manifested in sex, which he sees as not only the force that creates more life and thus more evil, but as the root of his mother's si ...

... simply as a shelter or home for the cult statue and as a storehouse for offerings. This shelter consisted of a cella (back wall), a pronaos (columned porch), an opisthodomus (enclosure), an antae (bronze grills securing the porches), and a colonnade that provided shelter for visitors. The earliest monumental buildings in Greek architecture were the temples. Since these were solidly built and carefully maintained, they had to be replaced only if destroyed. The architectural orders, Doric on the mainland and Ionic in the eastern Aegean, were developed in the archaic temples, and their lasting example tended to make Greek architecture conservative toward changes ...

... suffering. The power of Iago is exercised when he prepares and then implements an evil plan designed to inflict man with the most extreme amounts of anguish possible. Iago controls the play, he brilliantly determines how each character shall act and react. He is a pressing advocate of evil, a pernicious escort, steering good people toward their own vulgar destruction. Iago must first make careful preparations in order to make certain his fire of human destruction will burn with fury and rage. He douses his victims with a false sense of honesty and goodness. And, as do most skillful pyromaniacs, Iago first prepares his most important target, Othel ...

... greatly. The film at times was almost easier to understand with the music. I especially thought that when the Aborigine did his ritual dancing that the music was really neat. Some things in the film were just unexplainable. I did not understand why the father in the beginning did anything that he did. Having a picnic in the desert, shooting at the kids, committing suicide and then blowing up the car. I also thought that the oasis was quite odd. The water and fruit were there and disappeared as mysteriously as it appeared. I really liked the part when the three of them were playing in a tree together and at the same time the Aborigines were playing in the ...

Lear's first act of blindness comes at the beginning of the play. First he was easily deceived by Goneril and Regan's flattery brought on by him saying Which of you shall we say doth love us most, That we our largest bounty may extend (King Lear I.I.51-52) This vast reward he offers in return for the confession of love is bound to induce an exaggerated version of feelings to maximise the reward, as Goneril says Sir, I do love you more than word can wield the Matter, (King Lear I. ...

... characters driven by ritualistic, almost artificial motives, Shakespeare shows the political chaos that their violence breeds. “Titus Andronicus” basically is a story of cyclical revenge, of how a father avenges the death of his two sons, and of how a mother avenges the death of her son. It begins with Titus returning to Rome after victoriously battling against the Goths. With him he brings Tamora and her three sons as political prisoners. He kills Tamora’s eldest son, offering him as a sacrifice to calm the spirits of his sons that were killed in battle. Even though Titus is originally encouraged to become emperor, he reserves this privilege for Saturninus, e ...

... has become, which is, for the most part, a bum. After failing to deal adequately with his feelings, he escapes into a time when things were better for his family. It is not uncommon for one to think of better times at low points in their life in order to cheer themselves up so that they are able to deal with the problems they encounter, but Willy Lowman takes it one step further. His refusal to accept reality is so strong that in his mind he is transported back in time to relive one of the happier days of his life. It was a time when no one argued, Willy and Linda were younger, the financial situation was less of a burden, and Biff and Happy enthusiastically welcome ...

... protect them from someone they are, or make them more of what they are".-Senator Norm Atkins(1) "An election is like a one day sale…the product (candidate) in a sale (campaign) is only available a few hours on one day".(2) The main goal one hopes to achieve by advertising something is to make it marketable so people will purchase it. Since what a politician hopes to ultimately do is persuade people to vote for, or buy, their political platform, they would be foolish to not take advantage of the captive and passive audience of the advertising mass media. Unfortunately politicians and their management take advantage of this medium to manipulate ...
