... share" (p.179). Right away we become aware of this in the opening paragraph. There seems to be a sense of urgency for the narrator to tell the reader "the truth": I know what is being said about me and you can take my side or theirs, that's your own business. It's my word against Eunice's and Olivia-Ann's, and it should be plain enough to anyone with two good eye which one of us has their wits about them. I just want the citizens of the USA to know the facts that's all (p.189). Already the reader is aware that this is a one sided story and that the narrator has ...

... is understandable but he can never get over the actual death of his father by still wearing black a year later, and the hasty marriage of his mother to Claudius. Compared to Horatio who is calm and cool throughout the play, and Fortinbras who collected an army to fight for his uncle’s land and honor, Hamlet’s maturity level for his time is low, especially for being a prince. Today Hamlet’s age group is more immature than during his own time so he relates to the youth of the 1990’s better than he does with the adolescents of his own time. Sarcasm, and blunt rudeness is often used by Hamlet in order to offend people that, duri ...

... also uses ‘Pathetic Fallacy’ as he describes a cold winter’s day when the relationship broke down. In “An Anniversary” the poet says: “The sky’s smeared monotone.” This means the sky was smeared with one colour, which may signify a boring colourless relationship. “Two willow leaves glide smoothly on The water’s shimmering skin;” This is an example of ‘Enjambment’. It describes the leaves floating smoothly but apart from each other. The use of enjambment here helps the rhythm of the poem carry on smoothly like the leaves gliding. It could signify the two people still going on in life ...

... and Bolingbroke shall fight to the death "At Coventry upon St. Lambert's Day" (I, i, 199), the reader could mistake this act of 'showmanship' as the act of a leader who was ready to stand up and take action when a problem arose. However, as we see later, in Act 1 scene 3, Richard's order for Mowbray and Bolingbroke's lives to answer their accusations was only to fuel Richard's own desire to be the centre of attention; it was his 'showman' quality that lead him to do this, not his ability to take action when a situation that required good leadership skills arose. In Act 3, scene 2, Richard, on his return to England, finds that his 'favourites' (Bushy, B ...

... By the mislead from Jack, they have escaped from what they used to be, to a world of killing, and evil, in another word, the evil sector of them had been released. This event shows how evils are present for all humans, and are waiting for the right chance to be released. Furthermore, looking at how Jack had changed it clearly states that evil is present in all. As an example, Jack had changed totally from what used to be a regular boy, into total savagery. If without landing in this topical island, I believe he would not have changed, or at least not as extreme. Therefore, with this in mind, you can see how evil is waiting for the chance to be released by ...

... we see that Romeo is in love with Roseline and that he only talks about her but when he meets Juliet at the party he totally forgets Roseline and falls in love with Juliet. Friar Laurence clearly states this to Romeo: “Is Rosaline, whom thou didst love so dear, so soon forsaken? Young men’s love then lies not truly in their hearts, but in their eyes”. This is exactly how Romeo behaves. Juliet on the other hand had to marry Count Paris so her love with Romeo is simply a way to get out of it. She never had a relationship with a man and she didn’t like to have her first and only relationship with a man her parents arranged for her. She wa ...

... around the town. One particular audacious murderer travelled in horse-drawn cabs with the head of his victim on his lap (wrapped in a napkin ), but gave himself away when he payed double the fare when he was told that it was 'sixpence a head'. This was also about the time of the Jack the Ripper murders in which people were afraid to step out of their homes. The Jack the Ripper case was never solved and there was much controversy associated with the police investigation. The public had lost some of its faith in the police force and was looking for a figure of hope and inspiration. The selection criteria were short: Someone who always got his man. The only on ...

... have expected to come up in a motion picture. The separation between good and evil was done brilliantly through Mammoulian’s use of lighting. The most evident example of this is through the eyes of Dr. Jekyll. When Jekyll is running through his daily routine, the sets are bright with adequate lighting. On the other hand, when Mr. Hyde comes into the picture the scenes drastically become dark and frightening. I think this split is in conjunction with the two personalities that Dr. Jekyll displays. A scene in the movie that makes the disparity so clear is when Dr. Jekyll first discovers the potion that creates Mr. Hyde. The lighting in the laboratory was ...
