.... between Ophelia’s breakdown and Hamlet’s “north-north-west” brand of insanity. Both plays offer a characteron each side of sanity, but in Hamlet the distinction is not asclear as it is in King Lear. Using the more explicit relationshipin King Lear, one finds a better understanding of the relationshipin Hamlet.While Shakespeare does not directly pit Ophelia’s insanity (orbreakdown) against Hamlet’s madness, there is instead a cleardefinitiveness in Ophelia’s condition and a clear uncertainty inHamlet’s madness. Obviously, Hamlet’s character offers moreevidence, while Ophelia’s breakdown is qu .....

.... the city and to the people at home.The Bus has it’s own similarities in the life in cities and towns. While reading the poem Leonard Cohen makes the reader feel that the bigger the city, the less homy it is. The is proven when Cohan states “Lets run away from the big city...” (pg 144). This quote shows that Cohan is trying to “run away” from his obligations and responsibilities.The similarities in cities and towns from “Stopping by the Woods on a Snowy Night” and “The Bus” are in both poems the character is effect by there obligations to the world. In “Stopping by the Woods on a Snowy Night” Frost’s character is honouring his responsibilities and obligations by .....

.... the dance, he proclaims "When I saw you dance the tarantella, like a huntress, a temptress, my blood grew hot, I couldn't stand it any longer"(1530), showing how he is more interested in Nora physically than emotionally. When Nora responds by saying "Leave me, Torvald! Get away form me! I don't want all this"(1530), Torvald asks "Aren't I your husband?"(1530). By saying this, he is implying that one of Nora's duties as his wife is to physically pleasure him at his command. Torvald also does not trust Nora with money, which exemplifies Torvald's treating Nora as a child. On the rare occasion when Torvald gives Nora some money, he is concerned that she will w .....

.... Perhaps that is the moment when he crossed the line into manhood." I think this one sentence is the essence of what Anderson is trying to communicate throughout the story. As George Willard looks at his meaningless life and his bleak surroundings, fresh ideas, new ambitions, oppressing sorrows, and lonely thoughts play with his mind, trying desperately to overcome him. He likens the transition into to a deep mood that takes over. It sweeps over his whole being and completely encompasses all of his thoughts and actions. George Willard realizes and aches over the time limitations placed on his ambition. He knows death is inevitable and he is taunted by it .....

.... created for the people who were sympathetic towards the students. For this reason the point of the broadcast was to make the viewer feel compassion towards the victim. This caused the broadcast to be biased and took away the ability to tell both sides of the story. Sometimes the media tries too much to make a story. The media constantly invade celebrities private lives in order to create a story or sell a news paper. When Carmen Electra and Dennis Rodman got married they were on the cover of The Daily News and The New York Post. That definitely wasnt the most important thing that happened the news that day but it did sell newspapers. You may think that thi .....

.... becomes one of justification and explanation, while Antony's becomes one of manipulation and skill. In order to evaluate each of the speeches, we must first distinguish the general purpose each serves. It is known that both Brutus and Antony desired to appeal to the Romans (or the people). However, the way in which each man went about it differs drastically. Not only did it influence the outcome, but each speech also offers a unique insight on each of the speakers. Brutus' speech becomes one of strict vindication, not only for the people of Rome, but for Brutus himself. He uses his "honor and nobility" as a shield to defend and justify his actions to th .....

.... a primordial, wild beast. To begin with, before living in northern Canada and Alaska, Buck lived a pampered, luxurious life on Judge Miller’s estate in Santa Clara Valley, California. Although there were numerous breeds of dogs living on the estate, Buck had an aspect to himself that set him aside from the other dogs and animals. "For he was king – king over all creeping, crawling flying things of Judge Miller’s place, humans included." (, page 14). Buck would take long peaceful walks with the Judge’s daughters; he would go hunting with the Judge’s sons; he would carry the Judge’s grandsons on his backs and roll them in the grass. Buck who had been .....

.... that characteristically reflects religion in England under the reign of Queen Victoria. Carlyle doubts man’s beliefs because he understands man’s insignificance in the realm of things and thus wonders how any of man’s answers to any questions of the world could be right. He doubts many things especially God. To Carlyle, God did not represent an answer to the problems of the world: We, the whole species of Mankind, and our whole existence and history, are but a floating speck in the illimitable ocean of the All; yet in that ocean; indissoluble portion thereof; partaking of its infinite tendencies: borne this way and that by its deep swelli .....
