.... and more importantly they become the new king and queen. King Claudius is viewed as legitimately gaining control of the throne by everyone except Hamlet. Hamlet knows that there is "something rotten in the state of Denmark." His belief is verified when the guards inform him of a ghostly figure with close resemblance to the late king. The ghost reveals to Hamlet that while in the garden, Claudius poured poison in his ear. Claudius prays to be forgiven but his prayers are not sincere. Claudius, overcome with guilt, would prefer to keep his status then reveal what he did to King Hamlet. The play within the play is useful because it allows Hamlet to verify the .....

.... It stared Ali Mac Graw as Jenny Cavilleri, a poor, intelligent Radcliff music major, and Ryan O’Neal as Oliver Barrett IV, a rich Harvard pre-law student. As said in a film review at filmsite.org, “’Love Story’ is a sentimental, romantic film told as a flashback”, (Tim Dirks, filmsite.org). An article in Time described the film as, “boy meets girl, boy gets girl, boy loses girl”, (Stefan Kanfer, Time 1970). Oliver and Jenny met in the Radcliff library. There experience an immediate attraction for each other. They have an extraordinary relationship despite the fact that they are social opposites. Their only interference is Oliver’s father, who d .....

.... and the consequences when it does not. The first scene in which right judgement is used is when the Duke makes a decision as to what should be done about the expected Turkish invasion. He does not immediately act on the information he receives, instead, he thinks out the steps logically. When he states, "I do not so secure me in the error, but the main article I do approve in the fearful sense (I 3 12-14)," he is showing that he will not rely solely on the information he is receiving, but also use common sense, memory, and understanding, and therefore judge rightly. Only after right judgement was used did he take action, and therefore avoid disaster. .....

.... God. Many would say, “God would never take a mothers last son”, but this was viewed as false because God did take Maurya’s last son. The Irish believed that they were insulting God and saw Him as not worty, and cruel. Some believed they were trying to convince them that there was no God. A third example is when Maurya stated that she would finally would have a good nights rest meant that she was glad that she lost her family. They believed that she was heartless, thinking only of herself and that the men in her life didn’t mean a thing to her. The peasants though, now she has no one to take care of, and she can be free. And finally, a fourth reason the Irish t .....

.... land from a landlord, and became sharecroppers. Money was loaned to them, from the landlords, for seeds, tools, food, and other necessary items. After the season was over, they would get their share of earnings. Many sharecroppers discovered that they owed the landlord money. They would falling deeper into debt, and they had to pledge the next year’s crop as payment. Sharecropping soon became a thing of the past. Mechanical cotton pickers were invented, which worried sharecroppers. These machines could greatly do more work than by hand, and would be cheaper than to pay field hands to work for them. So the sharecropping was obsolete, and African America .....

.... is still popular today because of its philosophical questions, suspenseful plot and the many ironies within the play. When the play begins, Oedipus is confident of who he is and his place in society. He solved the riddle of the sphinx and is the ruler of Thebes. "I have myself come hither, Oedipus, known far and wide by name." (Oedipus p1) He thinks he knows who is parents are and where he came from; "I am the son of Polybus of Corinth, and of a Dorian mother, Merope."

.... to start before they were going to get in. The stampede could possibly been averted if the kickoff were delayed but the man "in charge" refused to delay. Just as at the "Who" concert the people in the rear of the line were in an acquisitive panic to get into the stadium. This pressure was recognized by the police in the front of the line and due to poor communication nothing could be done to stop it. A large gate "gate C" was finally opened to let off the pressure in front. This is when the true disaster occurred. People funneled straight onto the already full pens and created the stampede which killed the 95 people. People in the rear were in an acquisi .....

.... preserving Shakespearean language, the spirit of Shakespeare emerges to captivate a large audience. Shakespeare's plays were designed to adapt to any audience: with this in mind, Baz Luhrmann created a film that applies to the modern audience through this updating. Luhrmann modernizes "Romeo and Juliet," through constant alterations of the props, which entice the audience into genuinely feeling the spirit of Shakespeare. First, the movie starts with an prologue masked as a news broadcast on television. This sets the scene of the play by illustrating the violence occurring between the two wealthy families, the Montagues and the Capulets. In Zeffirelli's .....
