.... Also, I will investigate the types of conflict that play a major part in the play and the relationships between Hamlet and the two people who have been closest to him; Ophelia and the Ghost. Hamlet cannot share his strong feelings and emotions with his mother or his girlfriend. While his mother is literally sleeping with the enemy, Ophelia has chosen the side of Claudius because of her father, Polonius. It is especially difficult for Hamlet to talk to Ophelia. The only other woman in his life, Gertrude, has betrayed his father by marrying Claudius. Hamlet may be obsessed with the idea that all women are evil, yet he really does love Ophelia, because when .....

.... sleep, and blame it on the guards. Macbeth made two mistakes in the murder. First, he brought the murder weapons back with him instead of leaving them by the guards. Second, when they asked him why he killed the guards, he rambled on about his anger and his rage. Lady Macbeth had to fake faint to distract their dinner guests from what Macbeth was saying. One thing that went Macbeth's way was that Malcolm and Donalbain fled because they thought that whoever killed their father would come back to kill them next. Now that Macbeth was king he felt more and more paranoid about what he had done. Macbeth hired murderers to kill Banquo and his son. The .....

.... order to ensure Katherine is married, Baptista disallows Bianca to be espoused until Katherine is wed, forcing the many suitors to Bianca to find a mate for Katherine in order for them to vie for Bianca's love. Many critics of the play condemn it for the blatant sexist attitude it has toward women but closer examination of the play and the intricacies of its structure reveal that it is not merely a story of how men should 'put women in their place'. The play is, in fact, a comedy about an assertive woman coping with how she is expected to act in the society of the late sixteenth century and of how one must obey the unwritten rules of a society to be acce .....

.... most defeating action that happened to Willy was the loss of his job. All he had ever been in life was a salesman, therefore it was the only trade that he was any good at. When he had the conference with Howard, he had his hopes up. Willy had regained his confidence in himself and was ready to take control of his life at a very crucial time. However, Howard crushed all of that by firing Willy, simply because he thought Willy, "needed some rest." Actually, Howard never intended to give Willy his job back. He was merely trying to take Willy's position because he didn't believe Willy could hack it anymore. This is a reflection of society's present day treatmen .....

.... with the extras of life, but rather the bare necessities. One of the hardest losses portrayed in the film was that of the mother and the death of her son. The scene when she is hanging up the laundry outside and she breaks down and screams at the top of her lungs is a prime example of the pain and anguish that the frontier so often caused. In My Antonia the prairie is portrayed in a couple different ways. In the beginning of the novel Jim Burden felt, "blotted out", and "swallowed up", by the large size and vastness of the open space. He felt it was a place , "beyond the reach of mankind." Throughout the novel Jim's view of the frontier is shown by how .....

.... appreciated small things like that. I think that Jimmy Stewart played the role of George Bailey extremely well. Throughout the whole movie I continued to be worried about George. I began to feel sorry for him. I thought that Lionel Barrymore played Mr. Potter commendably. He really seemed to fit the part. As the audience, I grew a strong grudge against him, from the beginning. Clarence, an angel, was sent down to save George from doing evil by committing suicide. The angel saved him in many ways. George didn’t commit suicide, because he was too busy saving Clarence. Clarence took him to "Pottersville" and showed him what the world would be like if he w .....

.... casts his novels with some really detestable villains so attentive readers will automatically know who to root for. He ends each chapter on a scary, cliff- hanging note to make sure that readers will keep reading, regardless of the characters vapidity. He includes many frantic chase scenes or race-against-the- clock scenes that will translate graphically onto the screen. He puts plenty of technical, pseudo-specialist talk into his characters' mouths to give readers the illusion that they're learning something as they quickly flip the pages (Kakutui 3). Michael Crichton has definitely made a boom in the entertainment industry. Whether it is his top grossin .....

.... other work of Montaignes¹ was titled Of Cannibals. In this essay Montagine questions the primitive and uncivilized label given to the Indians and savages by the European explorers by creating the ³noble savage². The ³noble savage² according to Montaigne was of better character and persona than the so called civilized explorers because of its natural and uncorrupt state. In The Tempest Shakespeare responds to Montaignes essay through the primeval character of Caliban. Caliban and his overwhelming animal instincts are Shakespeares response. From the beginning of the play Caliban is molded as a monster. The son of the evil witch Sycorax, Caliban is Prosporos¹ s .....
