Helena Bonham Carter Franco Zeffirelli Hamlet
731 words
Mel Gibson and Franco Zeffirelli's adaptation of
Hamlet has filled some of the gaps left by
Shakespeare. This version of the classic story is
thoroughly watchable. This is "Hamlet for the 90
s, " according to the director, and it is an
especially entertaining version. With much of the
text diced, the pace quickened, and the action
streamlined, the film offers what amounts to an
introduction to Shakespeare's classic, without
losing any of the play's psychological
complexities. Gibson is perfect a...

Hester And Dimmesdale Mistress Hibbins
1,388 words
Films of this age are often criticized for lacking
substance and compensate for this discrepancy with
explosions and elaborate camera work. Books, on
the other hand, demand a bit more respect from the
general public. Many believe that concocting a
script is an unsophisticated mode of writing, a
copper to the gold of a novel. After careful
scrutiny of both, the novel, The Scarlet Letter by
Nathaniel Hawthorne and viewing the rendition of
the Scarlet Letter by Roland Joffe, one can

three hundred line poem before he got interrupted
by a man from Pollock, after which he had

Kubla Khan Pleasure Dome
1,118 words
In the poem Kubla Khan by Samuel Coleridge,
language is used to convey images from Coleridge's
imagination. This is done with the use of
vocabulary, imagery, structure, use of contrasts,
rhythm and sound devices such as alliteration and
assonance. By conveying his imagination by using
language, the vocabulary used by Coleridge is of
great importance. The five lines of the poem Kubla
Khan sound like a chant or incantation, and help
suggest mystery and supernatural themes of the
poem. Another impo...
