Antony And Cleopatra: The Role Of Enobarbus In Acts I And II
<view this essay>.... We know this by the way Enobarbus is permitted to speak freely (at least in private) with Antony, and often is used as a person to whom Antony confides in. We see Antony confiding in Enobarbus in Act I, Scene ii, as Antony explains how Cleopatra is "cunning past man's thought" (I.ii.146). In reply to this Enobarbus speaks very freely of his view of Cleopatra, even if what he says is very positive:
...her passions are made of nothing but the finest part of pure love. We cannot call her winds and waters sighs and tears; they are greater storms and tempests than almanacs can report. This cannot be cunning in her; if it be she makes a shower of rain as well as .....

her in any way. Even though the only thing he is really against is her

Thou basest thing, avoid hence, from my sight!
If after this command thou freight the court
With thy unworthiness, thou diest. Away,
Thou'rt poison to my blood. (I.I.126)

Beowulf
<view this essay>.... A random sentence to verify this is the statement beginning on line 53 of the story. "Then each warrior tried to escape him, searched for rest in different beds, as far from Herot as they could find, seeing how Grendel hunted when they slept." The poem doesn't seem to hide its message behind figurative language that is a fault many other poems employ. This makes it easy and fast interpreted.
This story is very vivid and imaginative from a period in time that seemed to be lacking excitement The story has a lot of gore that is explained very detailed, especially when Grendel attacks, "Grendel snatched at the first Geat he came to, ripped him apart, cut his b .....

Pride And Prejudice
<view this essay>.... ranking. This is the case for Darcy and Elizabeth in chapter thirty-four. Darcy knows that by offering his hand in marriage to Elizabeth he is lowering his standards in a social ranking. He is so arrogant in his proposal that he even insults Elizabeth. He says, "It is natural that obligation should be felt, and I could feel gratitude, I would now thank you. But I cannot- I have never desired your good opinion, and you have certainly bestowed it most unwillingly… Could you expect me to rejoice in the inferiority of your connections? To congratulate myself on the hope of relations whose condition in life is so decidedly beneath my own?" (Austen, 142-145). Unf .....

1984 Orwell 2
<view this essay>.... the writing of those particular words was not more dangerous that the act of opening the diary........ Whether he wrote DOWN WITH BIG BROTHER, or whether he refrained from writing it, made no difference. Whether he went on with his diary, or whether he did not go on with it, made no difference. The Thought Police would get him just the same." This thought and many others like it justified Winston's insanity in O'Brien's mind. Winston was defying a power which he knew was undefeatable. O'Brien saw Winston as a madman struggling with the a straight jacket, fighting something which they both knew could not be undone. The idea of insanity as fighting a unwinnab .....

Othello
<view this essay>.... sir, be you ruled by me: I have brought you up from Venice. Watch you tonight; for the command, I’ll lay’t upon you. Cassio knows you not. I’ll not be far from you: do you find some occasion to anger Cassio, either by speaking to loud, or tainting his discipline; or from what other course you please, which the time shall more favorably minister.

Less Than Zero Book Review
<view this essay>.... Julian. Julian ends up getting into hustling and doing heroin. Clay's holiday turns into a dizzying spiral of desperation that takes him through the relentless parties in glitzy mansions, seedy bars, and underground rock clubs. This is illustrates the seamy world of L.A. after dark.
This book is a teenage slice-of-death novel with no holds barred. This was one of the first books about success and wealth that was so frighteningly realistic. It was one of the most disturbing novels I’ve read in a long time. It possesses an unnerving air of documentary reality. All the obstacles facing the characters were fairly easy for me to relate to.

Was Macbeth A Traitor
<view this essay>.... Lady Macbeth was intent that she would eventually become Queen of Scotland. Initially, Macbeth had decided not to murder Duncan, “We will proceed no further in this business” (Macbeth, Act I, scene vii). However, Lady Macbeth was determined to continue with her original plan. She repeatedly insulted Macbeth’s manhood, provoking him to continue with the plans to murder Duncan, “When you durst do it, then you were a man; and to be more than what you were, you would be so much more the man” (Lady Macbeth, Act I, scene vii). She appealed to Macbeth’s “vaulting ambition” so as to intensify the effect that the .....
