Lack Of Concern Femme Fatale
958 wordster> Brian says 'you " re about as fatale as an after dinner mint!' Is Sally really harmless? Brian's exasperated accusation that Sally is 'as fatale as an after dinner mint' is expressed at the end of a weekend away with Max. The outburst reveals Brian's opinion that Sally is not the seductress she fancies herself to be, but is simply 'deluding' herself. However, one must stop to consider the meaning of harmless when applied to Sally Bowles. She is essentially self-absorbed and theatr...

Act V Scene Act I Scene
775 wordsPower is a vacillating, confusing, and sought after concept. Put to good use it can lead thousands to a higher level, correct wrong doing, fight for a cause, help the needy, and give someone the means to accomplish great things. Yet, power also has the ability to corrupt, destroy, and steal virtue from any nation, family, or individual. Although power can be the force that propels a good idea to an achieved goal, it can also serve to facilitate wickedness, selfishness, and greed. The corruption ...

On The Waterfront And High Noon
1,337 wordsMuch that characterised Hollywood in the 1950 s can be described as paradoxical and ambiguous due to anti-communist hysteria and the blacklist. How accurate is this statement in relation to two films of the 1950 s? A lot has been made of the suggested subtexts present in High Noon and On the Waterfront, that they reflect the experiences of Carl Foreman (the writer of High Noon) and Elia Kazan with the House Committee on Un-American Activities. Foreman has openly assented to this, and Kazan has a...

On The Waterfront And High Noon
1,357 words... of the law, and true good is shown instead to be in the in the individual character and his actions. Society is clear-cut, black and white, good and bad. It is a deliberately anti-intellectual film, emphasised by the constant repetition of how smart it is to give in and run. The gratification of traditional ideals is complete when the obvious rightness of siding with Kane is supplanted by the desire to bring big business to town. It just seems so narrow minded and egotistic that not one pers...

Julius Caesar Brutus Life
314 wordsThe removal of Caesar from office by assassination in Shakespeare's Julius Caesar attempts to justify an unethical act by focusing on the motivation behind the actor instead of the righteousness of the act itself. Throughout this play, the empirical immorality of murder is ignored. A mans ethics are surely corrupt when the taking of another's life for the sake of politics is merited. Therefore, Shakespeare ought not have erroneously depicted the slaying of Caesar as a satisfactory method of seiz...

Niccolo Machiavelli Athenian Democracy
1,336 wordsWhat is Hobbes, Plato and Machiavelli's view on liberty respectively? Plato has successfully shown the inherent weakness of liberty in its potential to collapse into tyranny, he has failed to recognize that this weakness can be minimized, and hence I, personally, dont share his low opinion of democracy. Before I begin my discussion of Plato's argument for the inherent weakness of democracy in The Republic, I have to clarify what is meant by democracy (liberty) in this context. By democracy Plato...

The Great Gatsby Theme Of Carelessness In Book
829 wordsThe Great Gatsby-The theme of carelessness in the book In The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald illuminates the theme of carelessness through the use of conflict, imagery, and character. Failing to realize the destructiveness of time, Gatsby tries to live in a world where past, present and future are all one (Stavola 131). Surprisingly, Gatsby spends most of his adult life trying to recapture the past. Imprisoned in his present, Gatsby belongs even more to the past than to the future (Bailey 22)...

Style Of Character Man Of The Church Chaucer
1,143 wordsGeoffery Chaucer in The General Prologue of the Cantabury Tales, describes the members of the pilgrimage. These descriptions do not simply tell of the basic appearance of the pilgrims but something of their personalities as well. Chaucer never directly criticizes the Pilgrims. Instead, throught the use of satire and insightful (and sometimes humorous) descriptions, Chaucer lets the reader come to their own judgements of the pilgrims. Two of the travelers, the Knight and the Pardoner are examples...

Make His English Friar
466 wordsChaucer's attitude towards the friar is one of sarcasm. The friar is wanton and merry, but this pleasant-sounding description is actually packed with mockery. By the 14 th century, friars, who were supposed to give up all worldly things and live only by begging for food and alms, were almost totally corrupt. They were known for flattering the rich and deceiving the poor, and especially for seducing women in outright disregard for their vow of celibacy. Chaucer's Friar, Hubert, is a limiter, one ...

Countless Books Grendel Dragon
610 wordsAuthors often have to choose between concentrating on either plot or social commentary when writing their novels; in John Gardeners Grendel, any notion of a plot is forgone in order for him to share his thoughts about late sixties-early seventies America and the worlds institutions as a whole. While Grendel's exploits are nearly indecipherable and yawn inducing, they do provide the reader with the strong opinions the author carries. This existentialistic novel can be seen clearly as a narrative ...

Law Of The Land Wang Lung
648 wordsThe Good Earth Essay The Good Earth by Pearl Buck provides an excellent form of archetypal structure. It shows how nature is clean and pure, while the mechanistic world is corrupt and evil. There are many ways that it can be proven, yet only three are really stressed throughout the novel. The three stressed throughout the novel the entire time are, nature providing, money corrupting, and how the law of the land is the only right way. That was why, in The Good Earth, the archetypal structure, nat...

Watergate Scandal President Kennedy
907 wordsInside The Oval Office is a book written by William Doyle that explores the differences in the occupational tendencies of the Presidents of the United States since Franklin D. Roosevelt.

However, I am unsure that this is a useful summary of The Prince and that it may be an over simplification and even a misunderstanding. The Prince has been condemned for promoting fraud, force, and immorality in politics, justifying the use of evil ...

Book Of Job Five Hundred
2,232 wordsThe Book of Job is not simply a story, but a fable, rich with meaning and lessons to be learned. I found Job to be one of the most interesting accounts in the Bible, especially because it attempts to rationalize human suffering and the ways of the Lord. It seems to me that the idea came first, and a story was found to fit it, or one was made up, but that the entire reason for the Book of Job to be included in the Bible is for its purpose in teaching us that we must endure what troubles we are gi...

Play Julius Caesar Caesar
872 wordsThe play Julius Caesar, by William Shakespeare, or as I prefer to believe Edward de Vere, introduces many readers to a world where speeches are made on many occasions. In this world of rhetoric, persuasive oratory, speeches help people persuade crowds. However, a crowd is not always persuaded by speeches. If a speech is poorly developed with no supporting evidence, a crowd may not agree with an orator. They may instead support the ideas of another orator. In the play Julius Caesar, two prominent...
