Abstract Expressionism
.... the use of gestural or "action" painting; they are commonly painted with strange objects; they are usually filled with vibrant, shocking colours and many other things not normally! associated with other "classical" forms of art - these artists are trying to paint raw emotion, not pretty pictures.
The painters who came to be known as "Abstract Expressionists" shared a similar outlook rather than a style - an outlook of revolt and a belief in the freedom of expression. The main thing these artists had in common was that they valued, above all, individuality and almost instinctive improvisation.
With Jackson Pollock, the ar .....

King Lear
.... simply being honest and true.
Another mistake that was made in the course of the play was by the Earl of Gloucester. After being tricked by his bastard son, Edmund, into believing that his other son, Edgar, was plotting to kill him, he put all his faith in Edmund, which would eventually lead to his demise. Besides believing that Cordelia was being true and honest to her father, I think that Lear and the Earl of Gloucester were fools, regarding the banishments of their righteous children.
After reading this play, I found it hard to believe that Cordelia was being anything but true in her simple proclamation of love for her .....

Macbeth
.... am settled, and bend up/Each corporal agent to this terrible feat"(I.vii.79-80). There is nothing supernatural to be found in a man being swayed by the woman he loves, as a matter of fact this action could be perceived as quite the opposite. Second, the witches have to be dispelled as a source of Macbeth's misfortune before the latter theory can be considered. It is admittedly strange that the weird sisters first address Macbeth with,"All hail, Macbeth! hail to thee Thane of Cawdor!"(I.iii.49), a title which not even Macbeth is aware he has been awarded. Even stranger is the third witch calling to Macbeth,"All hail, Macbeth, .....

Macbeth
.... is ambition. His wife knows of his ambition and stirs him to act on it. Macbeth struggles with a choice; should he let the witches prophecies realise themself, or should he take steps to the achieve them. He knows that the latter choice will involve the murder of his virtuous king Duncan, but even this isn't enough to sway him as he, after urging form his wife, chooses the latter. In doing so, Macbeth unrobed himself of all that is good in the human soul - kindness, courage, honour and love. Macbeth becomes so obsessed with his chase of glory that he turns away from all that he once cherished, even his wife. Macbeth becomes .....

Collective Action Frames
.... As Benford (1997) explains, doing this entails focusing upon the framing process and providing an in-depth analysis of negotiation, conflict, and compromise in the development of the collective action frame.
The framing perspective’s nodal point is frame alignment, what McAdam (1994, 37) calls "the efforts by which organizers seek to join the cognitive orientations of individuals with the collective action frames of the social movement organizations” (SMOs). Frame alignment highlights the fitting together of a frame (an individual interpretive map that marks things as significant or insignificant) and a collective action frame .....

Romanticism: Grande Odalisque
.... Madonna with a long neck, takes the artistic license to elongate the figure of this Turkish harem girl. Influenced by the neo-classical revival Ingres draws upon the Greek technique of flat linear forms and depicts his model in an impossible position allow us the view of both her shoulders and her breast; the figure is given an extra three vertebrae in order to maintain this position. Ingres endows a feeling of sensuality into the figure instead of the paint. The chromatic effect of the composition pulls the harem girl to the front as she is the only warm color in the piece. Ingres also gives her a very exotic feel with h .....

Romeo And Juliet: Theme Paper
.... fools! Put up your swords; you know not what you do." (I, i, l60, 61). Benvolio draws his sword to beat down the weapons of the servants. This in turn causes more violence as Tybalt thinks Benvolio was involved in the fighting. Tybalt challenges Benvolio saying "What, drawn, and talk of peace! I hate the word, As I hate hell, all Montagues, and thee. Have at thee, coward!" (I, i, l66-68). Several citizens of the town join the fray. Soon town officers arrive and attack. When the Prince enters he says: "Three civil brawls, bred of an airy word, By thee, old Capulet and Montague, Have Thrice disturb'd the quiet of our streets .....

Shakespeare's "Sonnet 50"
.... and tries to force himself on, as shown by the "bloody spur" which indicates repeated use. The groan that the beast makes from the spurring is "more sharp to me[the speaker] than spurring to his[the beast's] side". The more the speaker tries to force himself along, the worse his pain. Knowing this, in stanzas 13-14, the speaker says, "My grief lies onward, and my joy behind." He is leaving what makes him happy, therefore, he will be sad.
No one can be sure for what reason the speaker has to leave his friend. Perhaps they broke up or had to move away or maybe death was the cause. Whatever the case may be, the speaker knows tha .....
