angel), who said, "The only thing that burns in hell is the part of you that
won't let go of your life, your memories, your attachments, they burn it all
away. But they aren't punishing you, they're freeing your soul." The
chiropractor also says that the way he sees it, "If you're frightened of dieing
and you k .....

jealousy which moves him to do many evil things in the play. He pays Iago large
amounts of money to conjure up a scheme to acquire Desdemona. He gives in to
Iago at the beginning of the play. In effect he has b .....

suffering and calamity slowly being worn in as well as it being contrasted
to happier times. The play also depicts the troubled parts in his life and
eventually his death that is instantaneous caused by the suffering and
calamity. There is the feeling of fear in the play as well, that makes men

on them. The hero must be of a high status on the chain and the hero also
possesses a tragic flaw that initiates the tragedy. The fall of the hero
is not felt by him alone but creates a chain reaction which affects
everything below him. There must also be the element of chance or .....

Kundun: An Analysis

The film, full of Western philosophy, portrays only one side of the story. In viewing the film it is apparent that it is sympathetic towards the plight of the Tibetans. In the beginning of the film one of the monks recites, "May I be the doctor and the medicine, and may I be the nurse for all sick beings in the world until everyone is healed…may I be a bridge, a boat, a ship for all those who wish to cross the water." Later in the film, the Dalai Lama says, "Wisdom and compassion will set us free." As shown through the qu .....
