Macbeth: A Tragic Hero
.... themselves.
Macbeth was a man plagued by his own bad decisions. When Macbeth killed his king, he sealed his own fate. Macbeth knew that that would haunt him for the rest of his life. When Macbeth committed murder, he crossed over a line into a field of unspeakable evil, which he could never cross back. That murder scarred Macbeth. Macbeth was a very unfortunate soul.
Yes, Macbeth was at fault for his actions, but one can not but feel remorse for a normal man that had his life ruined by an unfortunate prophecy. Macbeth is a prime example of a tragic hero.

Arts And Ceramics In History
.... part to the variety of shapes and the countless range of pictorial and geometric designs on the exterior of the pieces.
The ancient Greek pottery has even inspired poetry. An author named John Keats wrote a poem called Ode on a Grecian Earn. The poem speaks of the beauty of Greek pottery.
“O Attic shape! Fair attitude! With brede
Of marble men and maidens overwrought,
With forest branches and trodden weed;
Thou, silent form, dost tease us out of thought
As doth eternity: Cold Pastoral!
When old age shall this generation waste,
Thou shalt remain, in midst of other woe
Than ours, a friend to man,to whom th .....

The Rules Of The Game: Andre’s Arrival At La Coliniere
.... halt as they see the arriving aviator, and Christine’s clenched hands and rigid, immobile posture make notable expression of the tension she feels regarding their forthcoming meeting. Rather than cutting, the stationary camera tracks ninety degrees until it is behind the two women. The continuous camera movement reveals the object of her attention and smoothly integrates the two into one shot. The mise en scene of this particular shot lends many important insights into the nature of their relationship. As a somewhat subjective shot, it shows the importance of this arrival into the stationary Christine’s world. The doorway, locate .....

Race And Othello
.... with a “sooty bosom” (2.3.27). Emilia refers to Othello as a black devil (5.2.132). This scene does not suggest that Emilia is racist in any way. She most likely was angry with Othello because he had just killed his innocent bride. However someone’s interpretation could be that she is suggesting that Othello is evil because he is black. Othello even calls himself black (3.3.265). Iago also specifically says that Othello is black (2.3.27). Shakespeare's use of the word black, however, could merely mean non-white in general. Roderigo's comment that he has “thick lips” indicates that he is of African descent (1.1.67). Using the mo .....

.... by what act or word [Oedipus] could save [his] city.” (60-73) Upon returning, Creon brings with him encouraging news that saving Thebes is a simple task of finding and driving out Laius’ murderer or murderers. At once Oedipus begins this task with these words to his people: “I forbid any to welcome him or cry him greeting or make him a sharer in sacrifice or offering to the Cods, or give him water for his hands to wash. I command all to drive him from their homes, since he is our pollution...” (239-243)
Those are just two examples of the efforts made by Oedipus to find Laius’s murderer and help his city. Throughout the remaind .....

Meaning that once Helen learned everything, Kate will no longer have to do everything and be right beside her all the time.

Hamlet: Hamlet's Greatest Crime Was His Inherent Goodness
.... Hamlet, might be insane. There are many clues to suggest Hamlet is insane but in fact he is completely sane.
Throughout the play Hamlet makes wise decisions to prove his so-called “madness” to others when obviously it is merely an act. He knows exactly what he is leading up to. He just delays to act due to his indecisiveness or inaction. An example of this is when Hamlet says “Now might I do it pat, now ’a is a-praying;/ And now I’ll do’t. And so ‘a/ goes to heaven,/ And so am I revenged that would be scanned:/ A villain kills my father, and for that,/ I, his sole son, do this same villain send/ To heaven./ Why, this is .....

Richard III: Strength And Weaknesses

In the first act the audience is notified of a prophecy that was make to the king saying that he would be dethroned by someone bearing the initial "G". This resulted in Clarence being sent to the tower and eventually being murdered by Richard. The most important curse in Richard III occurs in Act I Scene III when Queen Margaret put a curse on the entire royal family. Throughout the play the curses she put on each person come true. An example of this is when Margaret says that Queen Elizabeth will outlive her children and mourn their deaths. The most important form of fore .....

Hamlet's Revenge
.... of great pitch and moment
With this regard their currents turn awry
And lose the name of action. (125).
Hamlet is contemplating whether it is better to continue living or not, and is stating the positive and negative effects of it. He goes on and on about life and death, but never comes to a decision about whether or not he should live or die. Hamlet cannot make a final choice and if he cannot make a choice dealing with himself, then he cannot decide what to do with Claudius. He is not able to advance beyond what he feels and thus prolongs his ideas to get revenge.
Hamlet is dominated by emotion, .....

He even started rumors about the illegitimacy of his young nephew and stole the throne from right beneath the young ones feet!

Movie Review: Gone With The Wind And Glory
.... and as long as they had control over the congress nothing could hurt their interests. People threw parties, laughed, made jokes about Abe Lincoln, and overall were quite carefree.
