Macbeth: Blood
.... of treachery and treason. Lady Macbeth starts this off when she
asks the spirits to "make thick my blood,". What she is saying by this, is that
she wants to make herself insensitive and remorseless for the deeds which she is
about to commit. Lady Macbeth knows that the evidence of blood is a treacherous
symbol, and knows it will deflect the guilt from her and Macbeth to the servants
when she says "smear the sleepy grooms with blood.", and "If he do bleed, I'll
gild the faces of the grooms withal, for it must seem their guilt." When Banquo
states "and question this most bloody piece of work," and Ross says "is't known
who di .....

A Comparison Of Tragedy In English Works
.... killing Caesar for the good of Rome. Because he does for
others more than himself he makes a fatal mistake, he lets Antony live. Brutus
says to the conspirators, "For Antony is but a limb of Caesar"(Act II scene I
line 165) meaning that if Caesar is killed Antony will die off too. Brutus
clearly does not regard Antony as being a threat, but little does Brutus know
that Antony will stir up the town to seek revenge after the assassination of
Caesar. This mistake will cost him his own life. When he dies he becomes a prime
example of tragedy because not only did he bring about his own death he dies by
his own hand.

Stanlislovski's System: Concepts On Acting
.... "What would I do if I were in my
character position?" By asking this question of himself the actor can
personalize the given circumstances of the character. The situation of the
character becomes more personal, and the stakes much higher, because the actor
has divulged some particular issues of himself into the character. Due to these
particularities the actor will work out the given circumstance of the character
in a much more truthful manner. Even in acting the old saying goes: "You cannot
really know someone until you walk a mile in their shoes." This concept of The
Magic If also plays a big part in another Element of .....

.... appear, she remains firm. Because of Lady Macbeth, Macbeth achieves
success. Once set on attaining the crown, Lady Macbeth pushes Macbeth to remain
valiant and assists him in his pursuits. The goals of Macbeth become her
aspirations as well. When Macbeth informs Lady Macbeth of his new found glory,

Macbeth: Macbeth's Decent Into Hell
.... conscience then got the best of him because he saw the 'ghost'
of Banquo. It wasn't really a ghost because everyone can see ghosts and Macbeth
was the only one who really saw Banquo. This shows that his mind was playing
tricks on him because he felt guilty. To me his feeling guilty showed that he
still cared a little for those he loved but then again if he cared he would stop
killing them.
Macbeth went to the witches for a new divination. Back then the witches
were classified as being evil. This shows that he no longer cared if he was
being evil or not. All he really wanted was to have the future look good fo .....

Romeo & Juliet: Friar Lawrence
.... waking,
and that very night shall Romeo bear thee to Mantua." (Act 4, Scene 1), he tells
Juliet how everything will be all right. Unfortunately, for all his good
intentions the play still ends in tragedy.
Friar Lawrence is a man who is not afraid to take risks when he feels it is
neccesary to help someone. For example in Act 2, Scene 6, when he marries Romeo
and Juliet, he is risking his reputation as a Friar so he can help the two
lovers. Also, when he says "Take thou this vial, being then in bed, and this
distilled liquor drink though off;" (Act 4, Scene 1), he is suggesting that
Juliet drink a potion so that she might f .....

Television And It's Effects On Children
.... and most of this violence is
done by the "good guys". For example, Power Rangers; how do they get rid of the
bad guys? by fighting . During the whole episode you see the "Rangers" kicking,
punching and attacking the bad guys. Other shows like X-men, Sailor Moon,
Looney Tones, and even Care Bears show violence towards others. It's no wonder
children think it's okay to act this way when even their "Super Heroes" who are
supposed to be the good guys are hurting others. They see the good guys doing
these things and think it's appropriate.
I've notice even with my own cousin that when he has finished watching
an episode of P .....

Interpretation Of Ibsen's "A Doll's House"
.... society.
Definite characteristics of the women's subordinate role in a
relationship are emphasized through Nora's contradicting actions. Her
infatuation with luxuries such as expensive Christmas gifts contradicts her
resourcefulness in scrounging and buying cheap clothing; her defiance of Torvald
by eating forbidden Macaroons contradicts the submission of her opinions,
including the decision of which dance outfit to wear, to her husband; and Nora's
flirtatious nature contradicts her devotion to her husband. These occurrences
emphasize the facets of a relationship in which women play a dependent role:
finance, power, and love. .....

the desert. Luckily, Timon and Pumbaa find him and keep him alive. The
spiritual resurrection of Simba occurs when he returns to his home at Pride Rock.
Everyone discovers that Simba is alive. It seems as if he has risen from the

The symbolism of water and desert in the Lion King is very important.
Water often accompanies a change in a story. Water can also be a sign of birth
and rebirth. An example of water forete .....

Barney Vs. Sesame Street
.... than Sesame Street. The songs are used as jolts and they
work well in getting the attention of the child. I found that the Barney songs
were much catchier than the Sesame Street songs. They were slower, and other
than the dancing, there was not much else happening. On Sesame Street, the
background was changing, things were flying and colors were jumping. The
attention was not put on the song by the kids, it was put on the actions on the
screen.
Barney, like Sesame Park, showed minimal biases regarding sex and race.
The cast consisted of three boys and three girls. One boy was disabled but was
as able as the other kids. .....
