.... and this imagery also symbolises a person or a theme in the story. In the first line of act one scene two Duncan is asking his Lords who the bloody man stood before him is. He says that judging by his wounded state he could tell them of the latest news of the battle. This opening sentence sets the scene for the whole of the play, a bloody war. There is more blood when MacBeth and his lady have killed Duncan, the blood symbolises guilt so Lady MacBeth smears blood onto the guards and then cleans herself of the blood on her. "A little water clears us of this deed," meaning that if there is no blood on them they can not be guilty. Banqueting, eatin .....

.... church, military, and of the common people. His picture adorned the towns, everyone was to wear a red ribbon symbolizing their loyalty to Rosas. His supporters spoke of him proudly while those against him had to hide in silence. To illustrate the inherent problems of the Rosas era, the director chose to show the injustices through the ordeals of Camila and Ladislao. First of all, in everyday life, Rosas demanded public showings of loyalty. Every citizen had to wear a bright red ribbon symbolizing their faith in their leader. Slaves, commoners, and even priests had to wear this ribbon. Through the execution of the bookseller, the tyranny of the Rosas regi .....

.... the sun. The sunset symbolized his death or overthrow. The quotes "When shall we three meet again . . . " and "That will be ere the set of sun." (I. i. 1,4) foreshadow the king's death. The imagery of light and dark continues throughout the play. "Stars, hide your fires; Let not light see my black and deep desires." (I. iv. 50-51) demonstrates Macbeth's step toward evil. Most of the corrupt or unusual events in Macbeth occur under a cloak of darkness. The murders, Lady Macbeth's sleepwalking, and the appearance of the witches all take place at night. Lady Macbeth's sleepwalking scene is the epitome of the light/darkness symbol. She once craved the .....

.... examination of the text, we can formulate an understanding of Act I’s success as an exposition to Hedda Gabler. Most importantly, an exposition of a play must be able to establish some degree of suspense and dramatic tension. To such an end, Act I is relatively successful. Hedda’s pregnancy is hinted at : directly through Jorgen mentioning Hedda’s “blossoming” twice, and subtly through Hedda’s clothes which are indicated in the stage directions to be “loosely-fitting”, which does not suit her “elegant figure”. The ridiculous reasoning of Jorgen and Hedda’s noticeably strong reaction to any mention of the matter further draws the audience’s attention to th .....

.... as stated by Paul Nathanson in Over the Rainbow (156), "going home is fundamentally linked, for many Americans, with growing up." With this in mind, it seems a good way of evaluating The Wizard of Oz is by Dorothy's process of growing up, her maturation. Also, since Dorothy's adventure to Oz is clearly in the form of a dream, it seems a good way of analyzing Dorothy's maturation is by looking at this dream compared with real ones, and using modern dream analogy from the Freudian perspective. The act that spurs the entire action of the movie, according to Freudian Daniel Dervin ( Over The Rainbow 163 ), is Dorothy witnessing the "primal scene". The "primal sc .....

.... sons died while exacting their acts of vengeance, revenge is a major theme in the Tragedy of Hamlet. Revenge, which is based on the principle of an eye for an eye, is not always an intelligent theory to live by. There were three major families in the Tragedy of Hamlet. These were the family of King Fortinbras, the family of Polonius, and the family of King Hamlet. The heads of each of these families are all slaughtered within the play. Fortinbras, King of Norway, was killed by King Hamlet; slaughtered by sword during a man to man battle. "…our valiant Hamlet-for so this side ofour known world esteem'd him-did slay this Fortinbras." This entitled King Ha .....

.... shoplifting. "Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a [beep] big television, choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol and dental insurance. Choose fixed-income mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. . . . "But why would I want to do a thing like that? I chose not to choose life: I chose something else. And the reasons? There are no reasons. Who needs reasons when you've got heroin?" It is very difficult to resist the film's great energy. "Trainspotting's" subject matter is raw and raunchy, including AIDS, overdoses and violence as well as .....

.... Tom has to tell him that it wouldn't be good to kill a cop, but they end up doing it anyway. I think Michael was pushed into it because of his loyalty to the family. He is more calculating in manner. Near the end when he “takes care of all the family business” on the day of the Baptism is a prime example of this. Because he was this way, the objects of his violence had no idea that it was coming. Their values are another way that they differ. Michael is a man of honor. He doesn't run around having affairs with different women. He only marries twice because his first wife was killed in the explosion. Sonny is an adulterer. He is with another wo .....
