... sition. Regardless of the righteousness of his
condemnation of Antigone, he believes that, should
Antigone be allowed to defy the law and live, his
own rule would suffer. To Creon, the most
important element of the situation is the
disregard for his decree -- the strength of the
state, he vows, must never be held in check by an
individual (especially a woman). During Socrates'
trial, he also maintains his innocence on grounds
that he was doing only what the gods required of
him. However, the...

Grapes Of Wrath Ma Joad

Would John Steinbeck be proud of the Steppenwolf
Theatre Companys productions of the Grapes of
Wrath? No. This production of the Grapes of Wrath
does the book no justice and lacks a very
important theme presented throughout the novel.
One theme, which it lacks is -- I to we. This play
was very limiting in that it only presented one
family's plight and not a panoramic picture. A key
example of this would be the absence of the
Wilsons. This family was very important, to the
theme as well as the ch...

When I first thought of Frankenstein, the image of
a large green monster similar to what is seen on
television shows (i. e. : The Monsters)
immediately came to mind. I pictured him as
disproportioned and evil, attacking anything he
sees. I thought of him to have superhuman
strength, enough to subdue any mortal being under
his command. Concerning the story of Frankenstein,
I was under the impression that the novel would be
mainly about the destruction Frankenstein causes
to everything in his way....
