... vel, and still portray the main plot and theme
of the novel. The director of the movie Snow
falling on Cedars did a superb job in staying with
the plot of the book without changing it much,
especially since he had a book with a difficult
plot to work with in the first place. I noticed
that the scenes were significantly shortened in
the movie compared to the book, but that was just
due to the directors time restraints. The director
also played around with the order of the plot too
which I fou...

society. The story of Antigone written by
Sophocles has two characters who have a tragic
flaw of pride. I will show how Creon's pride of
power leads to his destruction, and how Antigone's
pride makes her an honorable character who should
be treated as a hero. Creon is a man who has just
become the king of Thebes and has a flaw of having
too much pride....

remembered. After Brutus oration, the plebeians

there are many points in the book that we find Wes

actions and choices that he makes reflect upon him
and the story. Things like what gun he carries,
when to look away from a crime, and when to turn
in your own brother make the reader learn more
about him. In turn we perceive him to be the type
of person that cannot turn in his own brother and
is not the hero that a stereotypical western town

Decide To Burn Antony Speech Brutus

I believed in what Brutus had to say during his
speech, and I was pro-Brutus because of his
honorable title. However, I am now pro-Caesar and
pro-Antony. I truly believe in what Antony has to
say, because unlike Brutus, he has reasons and
explications for why things were done. He does not
simply state an opinion as Brutus did. He supports
his opinion with facts, so that they are no longer
opinions but facts. Brutus said that he killed
Caesar for the good of Rome, but he never told us
the harm th...

The witches in Macbeth serve to advance the story,
reveal human weakness, heighten the tension and
give the audience a hint of things to come, but
they do not control Macbeth or anyone else in the
play. The only power they have over Macbeth is
their ability to reinforce an idea that was
already in his head. Their role is made clear when
Hecate speaks to them, ? And which is worse, all
you have done Hath been but for a wayward son. ?
(act 3 scene 5) She suggests that they do not have

Macbeth? s Tragic Flaw Macbeth's vaulting
ambition, though it is what brings him to his
height of power, it is also what leads him to his
