Hidden Agenda Of Lion
1,192 words
The subject of willful ignorance in the movie
Philadelphia is obvious as the partners in Andy's
law firm pretend to not notice that he is sick
with the deadly syndrome AIDS. This is a form of
power on their point because they use it to
justify firing Andy for fear of contamination.
Willful ignorance is also a major part of The Lion
King. The main difference in the two movies though
is that in Philadelphia, willful ignorance is
shown through the characters of the law firm
partners. In The Lion Ki...

Grendel Mother Beowulf Hero
1,020 words
Beowulf is portrayed as the hero of the epic poem
Beowulf (c 1200), although he is in reality the
villain. Throughout the poem the poet, who is
unknown, believes Beowulf to be a hero because of
his strength and loyalty to his people. However,
his pursuit for heroic status was so dominating
that it motivated his jealousy, selfishness and
greed. Beowulf is a tale about a boastful soldier
whose motive in life is purely self-beneficial; he
exploits the vulnerability of Grendel, Grendel's
mother and ...

Destroy Othello Iago Feels
1,189 words
In the movie, Othello, the Moor of Venice, I found
the play very tragic and sad. It is a love story
filled with lies, deception and betrayal. This
movie deals with a couple in love played by
Othello and Desdemona. Both of them from the
beginning have to fight and struggle to stay
together. Iago, a young Venetian, who pretends to
be Othello's friend happens to be the viper, that
ultimately destroys Othello and Desdemona with his
inhuman acts. Iago's first act of deception was
when he used Roderig...

Order To Obtain Hamlet Realizes
1,031 words
In a tragedy it is typical for the protagonist to
delay their action, until the end of the play. The
reason for doing this is to create suspense. In
this tragic play, we see this delay of action
displayed by the young prince Hamlet. Within this
play one can see that Hamlet is a man with no
sense of action. The reason for his delay, is due
to personal factors, such as, he questions his
surroundings, pretending to be insane in order to
obtain his proof and finally rationalizing whether
or not to s...

Act One Scene Banquo And Fleance
805 words
Is Lady Macbeth the real villain of Macbeth? (500
words) I don't believe that Lady Macbeth can be
seen as the real villain because she is only part
of the reason why Macbeth decided to kill Duncan
and Co. If she hadn't have promoted the idea of
Macbeth being King he would never have killed
Duncan. This is because Macbeth is a little soft,
where's Lady Macbeth is someone who wants to get
in there and get the job done to better herself.
Macbeth seemed to like the idea of being King
until he found ...

Fitzgerald Has Created Death Of Gatsby

The value of reading a text closely is that you
can see what the writer is doing- how he or she
has used structure or setting or characters or a
particular point of view or some aspect of
language to direct the readers response. Show how
the writer has used one or more of these to direct
your response in The Great Gatsby. In the novel
The Great Gatsby F. Scott Fitzgerald shows a clear

Act Iii Scene Father Death

What qualities come to mind when you think of a
king, or any ruler for that matter? A ruler needs
to be very trustworthy, honest, hard working,
fair, just, forgiving and intelligent. Especially
where there is a king, as in the play Hamlet, by
William Shakespeare, because a king is in charge
of the whole community. He has to keep in mind all
of his subjects as he makes tons of decisions
every day. A king is a symbol of his land. There
cannot be a strong country without a strong king.

Hamlet was a man that looked up to his father
throughout his life, during and after his fathers
death. The younger Hamlet tried to follow in his
fathers footsteps, but as much as they were alike,
they were very much different. The man named
Hamlet had a son named Hamlet and after everything
was over, that is one of the few things that they
had in common. Although they may exhibit some
similar traits, all fathers and sons are
individuals. They are, or will become, their own

Horatio And Marcellus Kill The King
1,496 words
Hamlets Melancholy accounts for his depressed,
pensive, and sometimes hot-tempered disposition.
In no way is Hamlet apathetic or lethargic; he
merely hesitates. This hesitation is not due to a
bestial oblivion, as the critic suggests, but to
his thinking too precisely, which is that
pensiveness that makes him melancholy. The author
of the criticism states that Hamlet is apathetic
or lethargic. On the contrary, he shows great
emotion throughout the play. In fact, he
intentionally exaggerates and ...
