Antony & Cleopatra: The Definition Of Love
<view this essay>.... honor in order to be together. It is a difficult choice to make, love or honor. It is difficult to define either one of these concepts. Because it is difficult to define these terms, it is difficult to tell if people are truly in love. It appears that Romeo and Juliet are more likely lusting for each other rather than loving each other. It also appears that Antony is more in love with the idea of Cleopatra than with the woman herself. This kind of thing is very common. People often think very highly of the person that they met at on vacation, even if the person would not have been right for them. It is more likely that they love the place and the ti .....

Andy Warhol And Pop Art
<view this essay>.... through their subject matter, not through stylistic
similarities. This makes it possible to talk of the iconography or
attitudes of Pop art, but not of Pop art as an art style, as one would
speak of Baroque or Cubism." (Bondo, 1998)
In America, Pop Art used the images and techniques of mass media,
advertising, and popular culture, often in an ironic way to play off the
social issues of popular culture. The art form developed rapidly once
reaching the U.S. New York City, often viewed as the epicenter of American

Oedipus Rex - Bliss In Ignorance
<view this essay>.... His life in Corinth would have been long and prosperous, and Thebes would have lived on under King Laius. In fact, everyone would have been better off in the long run if Oedipus had not ventured out beyond the walls of Corinth. So is it worth living an examined life? Socrates had made this statement long after the creation of the Theban Trilogy. In the context of his own time, this was meant to imply that life must be examined and reflected upon, known and discovered by each individual philosopher to better enrich life for all. Yet in terms of Sophoclean drama, specifically Oedipus Rex, this was meant in a vastly different way. The unexamined life was one that .....

Hamlet: Emotional States
<view this essay>.... side of humanity. In the very beginning of Act 1 scene i the
guards dialog reflect that "there is something rotten in the state of Denmark".
It is full of corruption, deceit, passion, ruthlessness, and ambition that
Hamlet is not used to (Lidz, 71). His mind temporarily can not handle his
situation because, as I will mention later, his mother is at the center of it.
He has to try to find meaning, direction and a stable identity in the midst of
all the evil about him (Lidz, 73).
We clearly see that Hamlet is quite upset by his mother's quite hasty
marriage to is uncle, and this causes some deep seeded emotional problems for
Hamlet. I can not talk about Ha .....

Movie Preview For Silent Scream In THX
<view this essay>.... BOOM! A loud gun shot is heard through out the theatre and the
screen goes blank again. A man with a very familiar commanding voice
starts speaking, “He was neglected, rejected and subjected to pain of which
no one knows. Now he has the power to inflict his pain onto any one else.
And he may just want you.” The screen goes blank again and the voice says,
“Coming soon to a theatre near you.”
You were so caught up in the moment you just now realize that the
movie was in spectacular animation. And the voice you felt strangely
familiar was James Earl Jones.
While I was reading this book I thought it would be a perfect story

The Crucible: The Tragedy At Salem
<view this essay>.... during this period can ensure that history does not repeat itself,
avoiding another Salem tragedy from occurring.
At the time of the witch hunts, the Salemite's society was an
organized theocracy in which their Puritan church ruled. It was instilled
to ensure moral order and justice within Salem and "to prevent any disunity
that might open it to destruction by material or ideological
enemies"(Miller 7). While espousing purity and godliness, the Puritans of
Salem were a political group with leanings toward power and weakness. They
were unable to keep these two characteristics in check at the time of the
witch hunt. This resulted in the witch hunts beco .....

Star Trek - The Next Generation
<view this essay>.... wave of disrupter blasts at the small
defenseless scout ship. Once the scout was in Federation space, the warbird
broke off the attack and quickly retreated back to Romulan space.
We hailed the ship and found out from her captain that he was alone.
His name was Shaq, captain of the Check Mate. He claimed to be a Romulan
captain in search of Federation asylum. I had never heard of such a thing; in
Romulan society, loyalty to the Romulan Empire is more sacred than life itself.
In any event, I was certain that we would learn a lot more during the next few
days.
Star date: 32851.5: Captain Shaq claimed that he was defecting in order
to prevent intergala .....
