Rank And File Commanding Officer
656 wordsKerensky was a young man in 1917. In many ways, that was the tragedy of Russia in 1917, that such huge responsibility was placed on the shoulders of such an inexperienced man. Kerensky was also foolish. He was a great orator. He was very theatrical in his gestures. He was the darling of the Petrograd intelligence. Young girls fell in love with him. Many of them wrote him love poems. There was a cult of Kerensky indeed. His rhetoric was sickly sweet, which in the euphoria in the spring 1917, was ...

Baz Version Of Romeo And Juliet

Time And Space Motion Picture
1,020 wordsHistory of film has been dominated by the discovery and testing of the paradoxes inherent in the medium itself. Film uses machines to record images of life; it combines still photographs to give the illusion of continuous motion; it seems to present life itself, but it also offers impossible un realities approached only in dreams. The motion picture was developed in the 1890 s from the union of still PHOTOGRAPHY, which records physical reality, with the persistence-of-vision toy, which made draw...

Gender Roles In Shakespeare
859 wordsIt is a peculiar feature of Shakespeare's plays that they both participate in and reflect the ideas of gender roles in Western society.

However, since they have been studied, performed, and taught for five hundred years, they may be seen as formative of contemporary notions about the relationships between males, females, and power. Derrida was right in as...

Waiting For Godot Vladimir And Estragon

His attitude towards critics who attempt to impose values and ideas onto his work (on of utter contempt) is well documented. But he seems to give us no other choice by pr...
