A Marxist Criticism On "The Importance Of Being Earnest"
.... the play. He leaves room for these critiques when he writes about
the servants, the nobles, and the middle class. His view on society and class
is very evident on the way the servants are portrayed.
"‘I don't know that I am much interested in your family life, Lane'"
"‘No sir; it's not a very interesting subject. I never think of it
myself.'"
In this passage from the play it is very clear that Wilde likes to give
his characters some life, but however it seemed that he was giving the servants
a bit too much, but nevertheless it does establish very well the position of
those servants. In the society Wilde is present .....

Romeo And Juliet: The Betrayal Of The Adults To Juliet
.... pleas for the marriage to be delayed a year. Capulet and Lady Capulet
do not know Juliet is married to Romeo, a fact that may have, yet not likely
altered these circumstances. Her parent's betrayal causes Juliet to look for
comfort from the Nurse.
The Nurse also fails to support Juliet's choice against marrying Paris.
Instead of supporting Juliet the Nurse instead believes "I think it is best you
marry the county...For it excels your first (marriage)." (III, v, 230, 236)
Juliet feels betrayed by this reply as the Nurse "... dispraise my lord (Romeo)
with that same tounge/Which she hath praised him beyond compare/So many thousa .....

Bugs Bunny And The Marlboro Man
.... drinking. Take Rosanne, for instance; the opening
scene shows her sitting around a table playing poker, while her husband smokes a
cigar and drinks a beer. In Married With Children, another show, Al sits around
the house reading pornographic material, and while working he ogles the women
shopping in his store. Both of these portray a family that does not care about
each other. The kids run wild, while the parents argue. Many shows contain a
lot of violence. One of the popular children's shows is the Power Rangers,
which consists of nothing except fighting. Many children, after watching this
show, start punching and kicking .....

Antigone: Changing Views Of The Chorus
.... Creon and his unwavering decisions concerning the law which was
placed upon the city regarding the body of Polynices: “When he weaves in the
laws of the land, and the justice of the gods that binds his oaths together, he
and his city rise high--but the city casts out that man who weds himself to
inhumanity thanks to reckless daring. Never share my hearth never think my
thoughts, whoever does such things.” (Lines 409-416) In my opinion the man
laying down the law here is Creon and Antigone is the “man” wedding herself to
inhumanity.
The next major choral address is a turning point regarding their
attitude towards Antigone. At .....

The Crucible: John Proctor
.... and that he will see all of them burn in hell.
That statement implied to the court that Proctor worshipped the Devil and
committed perjury. When Proctor tore the warrant issued for the arrest of
Elizabeth showed his ability to defy the court and in a way his religion because
the court was controlled by religion. Keeping Mary Warren from court was extreme
because he was keeping her from doing her duty and from feeling important for
the first time.
Even if one is brave or extreme, doesn't mean that they cannot be
dignified too. Proctor acted dignified when he tries to please his wife in every
way after he admitted to having an affa .....

Characterization Of Reverend Samuel Parris In "The Crucible"
.... demands that all those on the list be called in for
questioning.
pg93
Danforth, glancing at the list: How many names are here?
Frances: Ninety-one, Your Excellency.
Parris, sweating: These people should be summoned. Danforth
looks up at him questioningly. For questioning.
Parris: This is a clear attack upon the court!
Parris also attacks Mary Warren harshly when she changes sides to help
John Proctor clear his wife's name. Once Mary claims she fainted at will he
tries to make her prove this, and once he has weakened her whole defensive stand,
the other girls move in for the .....

The Play "Amadeus" Is Mainly Concerned With The Destructive Nature Of Jealousy
.... the one who should be jealous, as he has little in the way of
money or assets, or even respect. All he has is his talent and his priceless
music, but not the sense he needs to capitalise on it.
It isn't the fact that someone has more talent than him, the problem is, as he
sees it, that he isn't as good as someone else after making a bargain with God,
which should guarantee that he is the best in the world at least until he dies.
But no. “I know myself forever mediocre” he cries as he realises that the gift
given to him by God only exists to allow him to recognise the greatness and
incomparable beauty of the music of God. It is .....

The Symbol Of Black In "The Crucible"
.... of
poking Abby with a needle by a poppet.
Mary must also feel black because she meant no harm by putting a needle
inside of the poppet and yet she gets in trouble also. The black signifies
Elizabeth's anger hate for Abby. It is clearly shown when she says that Abby
should be ripped out of the world and that Abby is murder.
Black also signifies confusion. First of all when all the colors are
mixed together they form black. When everything is mixed it causes chaos and
confusion. Mr. Proctor is confused towards the end of Act Two. He doesn't know
whether or not to tell about Abby and the needle, because she might c .....

Infomercials And Other Dishonest Commercials
.... was so real…
the psychic knew everything." It is amazing what people will fall for in this
day and age.
Info-mercials are basically half hour commercials that attempt to sell
products to watchers. The products that most info-mercials offer are things that
are said to "improve someone's life" but in most cases the products are rip-offs
and are an easy way for the manufacturer's to make money. Some of the products
include the "AB-flex," a simple rocking seat that is supposed to hold this
unearthly power to flatten a persons stomach. The "AB-flex" guarantees to "make
it easier to develop stomach muscles, without the assistance of an .....

Compare And Contrast: Oedipus And Othello
.... more emphasis on the
language and the performer, which causes the spectator to use their imagination.
It also places more emphasis on costuming. This type of setting helped set up
the style of representational theater, which places high emphasis on the
realistic. The style used in classical Greece was presentational which, because
of the use of the mask, gave no illusion that this story is happening before
their eyes. The audience is reminded that they are watching a play, and not
merely observing life. Thus, the use of the thrust stage is the only similarity
of the two types of presentation. Othello is a purely illusionis .....

Comparison Of Book And Movie "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest"
.... of view as in
the book. Bromden is still a very interesting character but the real puzzle to
his problems is lost.
McMurphy is a very sly, cunning man. He knows how to play his game and
does it well. In the book as McMurphy progresses, he goes through many stages
where he is rebellious, then docile, then rebellious again. This is due to the
fact that he learns exactly what it means to be committed and what it takes to
be released. Then he begins to see that all his ward mates (I don't know what
you want to call them) are counting on him so he becomes rebellious again.
These reactions to his environments encourage McMurphy .....
