King Lear: Motifs
.... causes the Earl to banish Edgar and give his title and land to
Edmund.
The ironic misuse of power used by the Earl of Gloucester shows up in both plots.
Gloucester punishes Edgar and later finds that Edmund was the one taking
advantage of him. Similarly, Regan and Goneril gain Lear's favor, while Cordelia
is left 'dowerless' and banished from the kingdom. In the end, though, Cordelia
saves Lear from the betrayal of Goneril and Regan.
Shakespeare develops these major motifs with supporting motifs. He describes how
revenge can affect families and create problems for the characters. He also uses
the senility associated with old age .....

Othello: Discuss The Techniques Iago Used To Manipulate Others
.... make people trust him. He
had just about everyone spun in Iago's web. Rodrigo, Othello, Cassio, Desdemona,
Emilia, and etc. And he got every one of them to trust him, although he still
hadn't got Emilia into his web fully. She still had suspicions about him. He
could gain the trust of people as if it was nothing to him. He always when
talking to that certain person said that he was on their side, making a false
trust that the person believed, and therefore trusted him. Now most of the
people he did this to it worked on. Such as Cassio calling him “Honest Iago” and
when Cassio got in that fight with Rodrigo, he believed that Iago .....

The Crucible: Characters
.... could let such a charade continue.
The leading character of the play is John Proctor, a man who often
serves as the only voice of reason in the play. He had an affair with Abigail
Williams, who later charges his wife with witchcraft. Proctor is seemingly the
only person who can see through the children's accusations. The reader sees him
as one of the more "modern" figures in the trials because he is hardheaded,
skeptical, and a voice of common sense. He thinks the girls can be cured of
their "spells" with a good whipping. (Warshow 114) At the end of the play,
Proctor has to make a choice. He can either confess to a .....

The Pit And The Pendulum: Movie Vs. Book
.... Then Nicholas fainted, and his wife, who never really died,
told him that it was all scheme. She and the doctor were having an affair. He
chased the doctor and he fell into a pit and died. He stuck his wife in a
torture machine out of sight and gagged her.
Then her brother came down. Nicholas seized him and put him on table
below a razor sharp pendulum. Right as it was cutting his shirt two servants
busted in and threw Nicholas into the pit with the doctor and saved him.
This movie, I think anyway, was a very poor interpretation of the short
story. In the story none every commits adultery or is buried alive. A man, .....

The Tempest: Bringing It All Together
.... my charms are all o'erthrown, and what strength I have's mine own" means,
now my plays are over, and it's no longer my characters speaking. The
"Island" or stage Shakespeare is on is now "bare" and it is time for "you" the
audience to release Shakespeare and his actors from this play with the "help of
[y]our good hands." Shakespeare was not only being released for the
performance of the play, he was being release from his career as a playwright.
But there are more reasons to clap besides the obvious reason that the play is
over, Shakespeare could not allow his final play to be bad, his project "was to
please." He reiterates t .....

Art
.... depth. In understanding the history and style of any period of art, we
have to comprehend the balance between social and political development of that
particular era. Within each and every period, development of style is affected
by a response to particular philosophies, social and economic conditions,
political and spiritual influences. World Issues have been reflected in art
throughout the ages, and this premise is supported by three particular periods
of time. This is clearly evident when viewing ancient art, where symbolism was
an important part of society. Also, through the eighteenth and nineteenth
centuries, where art .....

Tobacco Advertising And Its Effects On Young People
.... companies deny that these symbols target people under 21 and claim
that their advertising goal is simply to promote brand switching. Illinois Rep.
Richard Durbin disagrees with this statement stating “If we can reduce the
number of young smokers, the tobacco companies will be in trouble and they know
it”. The companies go toward a market that is not fully aware of the harm that
cigarettes are capable of to keep their industry alive and well.
When kids were asked why they started smoking, they gave two
contradictory reasons: They wanted to be a part of the crowd. Children don't
want to be left out, they want .....
