.... to Cassio." In Desdemona's defense she says, " No, by my life and my soul! Send for the man and ask him." (Page 879) Othello blames Desdemona for giving Cassio a handkerchief, which was the first gift Othello gave her. Desdemona tries to explain to Othello that she did not give Cassio the handkerchief but he is too upset so he doesn't believe her. In an act of anger he kills her for no reason. Desdemona tries to show her love for Othello when he kills her. When Lodevico asked Desdemona a question about Cassio Othello takes it the wrong way. An example of this is when Desdemona says, " A most unhappy end. I would do much t' atone them, for the love I .....

.... grace” (l.5) as her willingness to help and serve her family. Many people adored her, but only one man loved her completely. Her late lover “loved the pilgrim soul” (l.7), her true self and spirit. “And love the sorrows of your changing face” (l.8) means simply that even as her face aged, the love he felt for her grew stronger. “And bending down beside the glowing bars,” (l.9) could be translated to ‘as you’re bending down to stoke the fire,’ she’ll mumble to herself about his death, “how Love fled” (l.10) and his soul climbing to heaven to live “amid a crowd of stars” (l.12). In the last verse of When you are Old, William Butler Yeats uses personification o .....

.... is happy and joking around in the square, this creates a huge affect in change of nature in his personality. Romeo was the one who started off the joking with “Here’s goodly gear A sail, a sail” This is not usually like Romeo, as all the joking and micky taking is left to Mercutio. You might expect on Romeo to be prying on everyone who walks past because of the messenger, but instead he is joking – this might be because he doesn’t want anyone else to know about the marriage OR that he is to excited. Shortly after this, he changes back to serious when he is talking to Nurse about the marriage. · He still is joyful towards the m .....

.... cat-and-mouse with them, and because she was not at all interested in their private lives", (chp. 5, pg. 44-45) unlike most Maycomb people. This is also why Scout respected Miss Maudie so much and why she told her, "Miss Maudie, you are the best lady I know" (pg.45). Miss Maudie always made cakes for Scout, Jem and Dill, and she invited them over to eat them and also to play in her backyard. One summer, Scout spent the whole second half of the summer with Miss Maudie. They sat in the front porch, watched the sunset, talked, took care of Miss Maudie's garden. That's when Scout became very close to Miss Maudie. Basically, Scout admired Miss Maudie. She was h .....

.... the rich can relate to paintings better because of their knowledge of skill and technique. He says we never really know what we see, we just accept is as it is. “We only see what we look at,”(p.68) and then we react to whatever we see as it relates to ourselves. “To look is an act of choice. As a result of this act, what we see is brought within our reach...our vision is continually active, continually holding things in a circle around itself, constituting what is present to us as we are.”(p.68) Words can not even begin to describe what we see or feel. “When in love, the sight of the beloved has a completeness which no words and no embrace can match: a co .....

.... Coppala’s Apocalypse Now and Orson Welles’ Citizen Kane. My intention is to discover the verbal and visual ways in which a narrative closure is achieved and if the narrative has truly come to an end or if it has simply finished for the time being. The final statement in The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde perfectly coincides with the final image in Citizen Kane. The statement is as follows: “Here, then, as I lay down the pen, and proceed to seal up my confession, I bring the life of that unhappy Henry Jekyll to an end.” In Citizen Kane’s final shot, a reversal of the film's opening images, a dissolve shows the exterior .....
