Tieresias warns him, Jocasta warns him, and the old shepherd warns him, but he brashly ignores them all. It is not that he is a bad man; his motive is both self-less and selfish. He wants to save his city, but he also wants glory and vindication. He believes that he, one man, can be everything. Sophocles is pointing out that this isnt true. No king, no matter how hard he tries, can be a perfect ruler...

Many texts have been designed to expose these issues and in particular the feature films Heathers, directed by Michael Lehman and Shame, by Steve Jodrell. Both these films have been heavily constructed in order to position us as the audience to take a very negative response towards the concepts of power and gender and further an anti-conform attitude. Techniques su...

They used their authority as a group to over-power individuals. In the two films, both the microcosms seem to be corrupt as a result of this power. In Shame the local boys stayed together as a large group in order to have control and power over individuals and even the town.

Good And Evil Francis Bacon
1,037 wordsRevenge and vengeance are basic tools of human instinct. Whether society chooses to accept or blind itself to this fact, it is an indisputable truth. Francis Bacon examines this truth in "Of Revenge", a view of society and literary characters that reflects the strive for vengeance. However, "Of Revenge" deeply underestimates the corruption of the human spirit and soul. It completely disregards the presence of the basic human instinct which thrives on the manipulation and destruction of others, f...

Beginning Line Medea Jason
535 wordsI oppose the motion that "Medea is a 'monster not a woman'" because she is a woman betrayed by her love. I think that although some of her actions may be called erratic, they are overall justifiable. The first monstrous actions she takes are: she helps Jason obtain the Golden Fleece, Kills her brother to ensure Jasons safe departure, and her ultimately betrays her father and homeland. In my eyes these actions were not done out of spite or because she is a monster but because she is a woman in lo...

300 wordsThe play Medea is, quite frankly, the story of a relationship gone very bad. So bad, in fact, that it ends in a quadruple homicide.

But for all the wrongs that both Jason and Medea commit throughout the play, Medea is by far the character that wreaks the most havoc upon anyone unlucky enough to be in her path at the wrong time.
