Stephen King, it b...

Overview Fritz Lang (1890 - 1976), an
Austrian-born film director, was one of the
commanding figures of German and American cinema.
In a career spanning over four decades, he
pioneered entire new genres and modes of cinematic
expression. From the distortions of German
Expressionism to the malignant brooding of
American film noir, Langs films depicted a
fatalistic universe where all possibilities are
predetermined. Fascinated by the psychology of
violence, his movies were populated by murderers,

overcoming many conflicts both internally and
externally, and narrowly escaping a life long
commitment to the clergy. Through Joyce's use of

actions, and thoughts are filtered through the
narrator of the story. Ho...

Reasons Hamlet Delays his Revenge Hamlet as a play
and as a person has been analyzed for centuries.
One of the main ideas focused upon in this story
is why Hamlet delays so long in getting his
revenge on Claudius for killing his father. There
have been many ideas and many theories for Hamlets
behavior, but there is probably a plethora of
factors that influence Hamlet. Hamlets thoughts
about the ghost, his Uncle, and his mother, may
have all led to his delay. The first reason for
the delay may be...

Artist As A Young Man Portrait Of The Artist

Dantes The Hermaphroditic Joyce One of the most
powerful nuances of any writing is the dialogue
within the story. In literature, it is all too
often that characters live only in the jaded voice
of the author and never truly develop as their
own, or are not strongly opinionated in a manner
which contrasts the opinions of the writer. It is
also unfortunately true that the women depicted in
most male-authored literature do not often sound
realistic, or how most women one would speak to in
