James Dougherty The ever-burning question upon the
reader? s mind after having read Shakespeare? s
Hamlet, was Hamlet mad? Did he just fake it to
fool those under the influence of his uncle?

is it that Hamlet feigned madness? The reason
behind his madness, as displayed through several
characters such as: Gertrude, Ophelia, Claudius,

Heart Of Darkness Joseph Conrad
1,008 words
Heart of Darkness Heart of Darkness, by Joseph
Conrad is a fictional novel with an overflow of
symbolism. Throughout the entire novel Conrad uses
a plethora of simple colors, objects, and places
in order to clarify very complex meanings. By
doing this, Conrad is able to lure the reader into
a world unlike his or her own: the Congo River,
located in central Africa. Although the
interpretation of these symbols is so elaborate,
the simplicity of each makes it somewhat easy to
overlook. A few exampl...

This poem is centered on the idea that the
narrator? s life is lacking purpose. In exploring
the meaning of his existence, he determined that
his reason for living was to keep moving so that
people? s lives were only temporarily interrupted.

Quot Eternal Youth
1,710 words
The use of caves in mythology to depict darkness
and abandonment has branded it as a symbol of
chaos. From this perception other associations are
made which connect the cave to prejudices,
malevolent spirits, burial sites, sadness,
resurrection and intimacy. It is a world to which
only few venture, and yet its mysticism has
attracted the interest of philosophers, religious
figures and thinkers throughout history. These
myths are exemplified in Homer? s " Odyssey,
" where the two worlds...

House Of Usher Poe
912 words
The Fall of the House of Usher is definitely a
piece written in Poe? s usual style; a dark
foreboding tale of death and insanity filled with
imagery, allusion, and hidden meaning. It uses
secondary meanings and underlying themes to show
his beliefs and theories without actually
addressing them. It convinces us without letting
us know we? re being convinced, and at the same
time makes his complex thoughts relatively clear.
On the literal level the story is about a man (the
narrator) visiting his ...

Sings An Aria Starts Out In Duple Meter Rigoletto
795 words
I attended the opera Rigoletto at the New York
State Theater. Rigoletto was composed by Giuseppe
Verdi and it was first performed in 1851, during
the Romantic period. Act I of Rigoletto starts out
in duple meter and sounds very dramatic, as if
something dark and mysterious is going to happen.
I think the dynamics play a role in this mood
because of the constant changing from loud to
soft. This act starts with an overture since the
beginning is instrumental. All of a sudden, still
in duple meter,...

Review This film by virtue of its independence has
shied away from the usual hype associated with
American movies. The result is an original
screenplay by Billy Bob Thornton that is
transformed into a mesmerizing tale of the south.
Thornton cast actors with ability rather than
their image or Hollywood status. Sling Blade
challenges us to re-evaluate our principles and
our definitions of right, wrong and of justice.

The episode I am going to use to show how tension
is created in OF Mice and Men is when Curley has a
fight with Lennie. This section starts near the
end of chapter three. It is obvious that somewhere
within Of Mice and Men Lennie is going to have a
confrontation with Curley because of the clues
earlier in the book. For example when Lennie and
George first meet Curley he is some what
unwelcoming and confrontational, He glanced coldly
at George and then at Lennie. His arms gradually

Nerve Endings Sound Waves
402 words
Waves Sound Waves Sound Waves Waves are
disturbances that travel through a space while
changing its matter. A sound wave is what allows
us to hear sounds. It is created by vibrations,
which are made by the movement of matter. Sound
waves must travel through a solid, a liquid, or a
gas. The more tight the particles, the faster the
wave will travel. This would mean that a sound
wave travels fastest through solids and slowest
through gases. The speed that it travels through a
liquid would come some...

Symbolism in Young Goodman Brown Nathaniel
Hawthorne's Young Goodman Brown is full of
symbolism throughout the story. Perhaps the most
interesting examples of symbolism include the
title character, Young Goodman Brown, as well as
his wife, Faith, and the woods that Young Goodman
Brown enters on his journey. Included are many
allusions to Christianity and also to evil and
sin. These references are expressed mainly through
characters and settings in the s...
