characteristic of Poe's writing. All of his

Macbeth? s Representation of Ambition From top to
bottom of the ladder, greed is aroused without
knowing where to find ultimate foothold. Nothing
can calm it, since its goal is far beyond all it
can attain. Reality seems valueless by comparison
with the dreams of fevered imaginations; reality
is therefor abandoned. Many have dreamed up
republics and principalities that have never in
truth been known to exist; the gulf between how
one should live and how one does live is so wide

Poe Reader

It is very easy to associate Edgar Allen Poe with
thoughts of dreariness and darkness and with good
reason as much of his writing does reflect those
very downcast moods. Although, authors do like to
sometimes break their stereotypes and produce
things entirely different from their usual and Poe
is no exception. This can be easily observed by
comparing the use of his lead characters in the
stories? The Black Cat? , ? Hop-Frog? and? The
Purloined Letter. ? Each character is in a

Lady Macbeth Roman Polanski

Critique of Roman Polanski's Macbeth Roman
Polanski's version of Macbeth, in my opinion,
lived up to the Shakespeare's play. Although there
were many minor changes in the play the plot
stayed the same. One commendable change on
Polanski's part was the way he sensationalized the
violence. There werent that many violent scenes
but those few very extremely violent. I had
thought myself to be completely desensitized to
violence until I watched this movie. One of the
first major changes was the battl...
