.... beyond death" (Hathorn 59). Those who do believe that Antigone was meant to be the true tragic hero argue against others who believe that Creon deserves that honor. They say that the Gods were against Creon, and that he did not truly love his country. "His patriotism is to narrow and negative and his conception of justice is too exclusive... to be dignified by the name of love for the state" (Hathorn 59). These arguments, and many others, make many people believe the Antigone is the rightful protagonist. Many critics argue that Creon is the tragic hero of Antigone. They say that his noble quality is his caring for Antigone and Ismene when thier father was .....

.... Newton-John. She's actually pretty in GREASE, you can't say that about her "Physical" and "Twist of Fate" days of the 80's. This is also her only good movie -- you can't say anything nice about XANADU, so don't say anything at all. People also love GREASE because it's the quintessential 50's nostalgia movie. It has everything, from the slumber party and malt shop to the dance contest and drag race. Better yet, it has a sense of humor about those days, to the point of including ultimate icon Frankie Avalon in the "Beauty School Dropout" dream sequence. That brings up the main draw of GREASE -- the music. As I type this, at least one Top 40 station across t .....

.... engines; by generating no power the trap is overcome. Taoism is a philosophy based on inaction: "Therefore the Master acts without doing anything and teaches without saying anything."(Tao Te Ching pg. 2) When the true nature of the trap is revealed, Ryker states "If we resist we die. If we don't resist we die." Neither action nor inaction was the key to salvation. Ryker's statement was based on a physical world; the Tao goes beyond action or inaction of a physical sense. The Tao Te Ching states, "the Master does nothing, yet leaves nothing undone."(pg. 38) The Master does not rely on the world of the senses to decide her action. Everything the crew of t .....

.... looking up to and down upon the house to show it's enormous size. This gives the viewer a sense of how large the house is but on a deeper level how far Kane has come and large he himself has become. Kane started out as an orphan and amassed a large fortune and became in other words a "big wig" in society. The angles help to state that point and portray it to the viewers without words. The third example of shots in the movie is a long shot in which workers at a plant are shown going in, in large numbers to work and then when it is shut down there is no one around and the whole place is empty. This really shows the impact of which the plant shutting down .....

.... Sc I, where he gives his first soliloquy. He cries: "O that this too too solid flesh would melt, Thaw, and resolve itself into a dew! Or that the Everlasting had not fixed His canon 'gainst self-slaughter!" Macbeth wants his flesh to dissolve into a dew ("solid" contrasting with "melt" in the first line), and wishes that God had not forbade suicides from going to heaven. This is also the first glimpse of another recurring theme in the play, that of Hamlet's unhealthy obsession with the afterlife. This is one of the reasons that the ghost of his father has such an effect on him, which is a trigger for all the subsequent events in the play. Movin .....

.... Torvald even calls Nora pet names like “my sweet little lark” (Ibsen 1567) and “my squirrel” (Ibsen 1565). These names may seem to be harmless and cute little nicknames, but the names actually show how little he thinks of her. “Torvald uses derogatory diminutives to address Nora” (Kashdan 52). Torvald talks down to her. Nora is “regarded as property rather than a partner” (Drama for Students 112). He isn’t treating her like a real person. In Torvald eyes, she isn’t an equal. “Nora is viewed as an object, a toy, a child, but never an equal” (Drama for Students 109). Nora and Torvald seem to be in love with each other though. However, Torvald is very .....

.... Although even her father calls her a shrew, Katherine has a deeper character than the epithet would imply. From the beginning we see that she is continually placed second in her father's affections, and despised by all others. Bianca on the other hand, is identified as the favorite, playing the long-suffering angel, increasing Baptisa's distinction between the two. As Katherine recognizes her sister's strategy, her reaction is as one can imagine how another would react suffering this type of bias for so many years. She is hurt and she seeks revenge. This is seen in Act II, Scene I, when Katherine sums up her own state: “I will go sit and weep/ Till I can .....

.... Jocasta was blind to the true identity of Oedipus, her son and husband. She refused to accept the truth when it was ultimately revealed. In this case, those who are blind at length do have a higher vision – the truth. Oedipus was born into the prophecy that he would murder his father and wed his mother. In an attempt to avoid this fate, his parents, Laius and Jocasta, sent him into the mountains to die. However, a shepherd saved and gave him to Polybus and Merope. When he learned of his prophecy, he fled, under the assumption that they were his real parents. While fleeing, he encountered Laius and killed him. He correctly answered the riddle of the Sphin .....
