Lady Macbeth Imagines Kill King Duncan
1,656 words
The play is about a king who is murdered by one of
his most trusted men trying to gain power. During
the play Shakespeare heightens the mood by using
various accounts of imagery. The blood and night
imagery that Shakespeare uses adds to the evil,
darkness and deception surrounding the play. It is
established from the very beginning that Macbeth
is ambitious. A certain level of courage

greatest impact on Macbeth are the witches, his
wife and Lady,...

Turn Of The Screw Miss Jessel
1,389 words
In Henry James' novella The Turn of the Screw we
are presented with an unreliable governess that
tells a story about a haunted mansion. The novella
is so ambiguous that at the end the question still
remains: do the ghosts exist or is the governess
going wildly insane? The film version, directed by
Jack Clayton is much less ambiguous, but with
evidence of both sides. The Innocents leans more
toward the fact that the ghosts do exist and the
children are possessed, although they might not
realize i...

Late King Divine Law
996 words
The struggle between right and wrong, the demands
between family and that of the government, and the
ultimate struggle between divine law and those
made by man is the center of Sophocles' Antigone.
Through this expression of Greek drama, a sense of
what life must have been like in the time of
Sophocles comes across. In his world, women are
subjugated and supposed to be silent spectators to
the world around them as men's search for power
leads to incredible acts against both human and
divine law....

In a perfect world, everyone would be happy with
the way they are and everyone would accept the
differences of others. Unfortunately, the world we
live in is not perfect and not everyone accepts
who they are. Is there a reason why people cannot
be content with their lives or with the
differences of other people? The answer is yes,
and the reason for the discontent is society. With
society telling the masses what is, and is not
