Romeo And Juliet Versus West Side Story
<view this essay>.... Leaman's screenplay, West Side Story.
One main difference is that in Romeo and Juliet the sililoquy is spoken while in
West Side Story there is sililoquy, but it is in song. While both equally
express the character's feelings at the moment, it is my feeling that West Side
Story's musical style brings the viewer/listener further into the play and makes
the play more effective. An example of this is when, in Act II, Scene II, of
Romeo and Juliet, otherwise known as the balcony scene, Romeo expresses his
thoughts in a sililoquy until Juliet shows up. While in Romeo and Juliet all of
this is spoken, in West Side Story, this is written as music shared between

Support Through The National Endowment For The Arts
<view this essay>.... and values as
a nation or society. The arts belong to the people of the United States,
and we deserve increased access to the arts. This is exactly what the
National Endowment for the arts accomplishes.
Just as anyone has the right to view what they please, the artist has
the right to express his or her creativity, feelings, thoughts, and
perception in any artistic form they please. No subject matter is
forbidden. We should support free speech not suppress it. This can
however, be taken to extremes. A selection of art can be deemed as
offensive to the general public. This does not mean that restrictions
should be placed on it preventing people from .....

Movies: A Thematic Analysis Of Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho
<view this essay>.... that bases itself
on the unending subconscious battle between good and evil that exists in
everyone through the audience's subjective participation and implicit character
parallels.
Psycho begins with a view of a city that is arbitrarily identified along
with an exact date and time. The camera, seemingly at random, chooses first one
of the many buildings and then one of the many windows to explore before the
audience is introduced to Marion and Sam. Hitchcock's use of random selection
creates a sense of normalcy for the audience. The fact that the city and room
were arbitrarily identified impresses upon the audience that their own lives
could randomly be .....

Who Is The Tragic Hero In Antigone?
<view this essay>.... Antigone was meant to be the true tragic hero argue against
others who believe that Creon deserves that honor. They say that the Gods

Tragedy In Oedipus Rex
<view this essay>.... mistake that was actually made long, long ago and
cannot be reversed. This tragic flaw is of course Oedipus killing his father
Lauis, and then marrying Jocasta, his mother. We realize that these actions
have taken place much earlier in the story than the characters do. However,
both of these events actually took many years ago.
The fall from grace in Oedipus Rex is when Oedipus, Jocasta, and all the
other characters in the story realize that Oedipus actually did murder Laius
and that Jocasta is indeed his mother as well as his wife. This occurs rather
quickly, very close to the end of the play.
The audience sees this coming long before it actually does .....
