Lady Macbeth Macbeth Macbeth
1,653 words... analysis of the imagery of Macbeth Macbeth is a story based on death and jealousy.

I have found that the main images in Macbeth are ambition, clothing, chaos, dark and light blood and sleep. These all help to create an atmosphere and make the main idea of the story stronger. The main theme that runs constantly through the play is chaos. You can see this...

Eyes Wide Shut Rules Of The Game
2,533 wordsThe haunting effects of Stanley Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut can be identified as creating curiosity, fear and anxiety in the viewer. They can be understood as painting a mosaic of symbolism in the viewers eye, and as depositing fragments of concepts inside his mind. The films slow pace seems to open wide gaps between the joints of the storys framework, causing the viewer to lose his secure sense of balance during the progression of the plot. Eyes Wide Shut is not a tale of terror nor one of mystery...

I hope to illustrate Aristotle s Poetics through several...
