John Keats Good Example
442 wordsJohn Keats interprets the nature of King Lear to be rather tedious. He talks about golden-tongued Romance with serene lute which could easily be reflected in Lears tranquil, half-witted mindset which fails to read between the lines. He refers to Lears daughters (General & Regan) as innocent appearing yet seductive devils. A good example of nothing imagery from the play is evident when Keats writes Shut up thing olden pages, and be mute. He is obviously telling us that Lear should keep his though...

Ethan Frome Universal Themes
847 wordsThe hundreds of pages in a typical novel come together to form an intricate web, whose many strands may be united in the minds of readers to form different interpretations.

Journey Into Night Final Act
1,209 wordsIt is understandable that so many people in our class did not find the last act of Eugene O'Neill's Long Day's Journey Into Night a satisfying one; there is no tidy ending, no goodbye kisses or murder confessions; none of the characters leave the stage with flowers in their hands or with smiles on their faces and none of the characters give explanatory monologues after the curtain falls, as we " ve become accustomed to by reading so much Shakespeare. O'Neill, though, isn't Shakespeare and Long D...

Act 3 Scene 1 Love For Ophelia
925 wordsThe Elizabethan play Hamlet by William Shakespeare is without a doubt one of Shakespeare's most puzzling plays.

Support for this decision comes from Hamlets treatment towards Ophelia in Act 3, Scene 2, and at Ophelia...

Avenging His Father Death Tragic Heroes

Individual Beliefs In Shooting An Elephant By Orwell
661 wordsIt's ironic how some individuals are willing to push aside their moral beliefs in what is right or wrong to gain acceptance. In Shooting An Elephant by George Orwell we see how he puts all his true beliefs to the side to gain some sort of closure on the way the people view him. At times people are put in complex situations where they have to decide between whats right and wrong without knowing the outcome.
