Analysis Of Clockwork Orange
.... the rights and wrongs of society.
Alex seemed to find the love he didn’t get from his parents in his friends. Alex and his friends did a lot of damage to others, but of course they did it as a group. They beat up an old man who asked for change, they fought another group of people, they broke into a house and beat up the old man who lived there, then beat up his wife, killing her, but only after they raped her.
As a group they were to be feared, but when two of them tried to stand up to Alex, who was the leader, things seemed amusing to me. Of the two who tried to stand up to Alex, there was one obvious leader, while th .....

.... as everyone thought, but the outlooks of others did not change.

Othello Composition: The Character Of Iago
.... (Act II, Scene I, line 163). His cunning and craftiness make him a truly dastardly villain indeed. Being as smart as he is, Iago is quick to recognize the advantages of trust and uses it as a tool to forward his purposes. Throughout the story he is commonly known and called “honest Iago”. He even says of himself, “ I am an honest man.....” (Act II, Scene III, Line 245) Trust is a very powerful emotion that is easily abused. Othelllo, “Holds(him)well;/The better shall (Iago’s) purposes work on him.” (pg. 1244) Iago is a master of abuse in this case, turning peoples trust in him into tools to forward his own goals. His “ .....

A few minutes later, Schmitz dialed 911 from a pay phone at a gas station near his sister’s house and said, “I just walked in the room .....

The Dead: Summary
.... translated into dialogue by director, Hutson and thus, Actresses Cathleen Delany (Aunt Julia) and Helena Carroll (Aunt Kate) create an element of suspense more so than in the words of Joyce. Upon his long awaited arrival, Gabriel’s greeting and idle chitchat is identical to that of the text.
Joyce describes in depth the thoughts and feelings of Gabriel throughout the story, only it is more difficult to do so in film. In attempt to compensate for this loss, Huston added text to his script. For example, Gabriel pulls a small piece of paper from his pocket and begins to recite to himself. The audience member does not know what t .....

Hamlet: The Tragic Hero
.... He had many good traits such as bravery, but his one bad trait made him evil. Also a tragic hero doesn't have to die. While in all Shakespearean tragedies, the hero dies, in others he may live but suffer "Moral Destruction".
In Oedipus Rex, the proud yet morally blind king plucks out his eyes, and has to spend his remaining days as a wandering, sightless beggar, guided at every painful step by his daughter, Antigone. A misconception about tragedies is that nothing good comes out of them, but it is actually the opposite. In Romeo and Juliet, although both die, they end the feud between the Capulets and t .....

Antigone
.... two characters, in an attempt to clarify this perplexing idea has only caused a heightening to my bewilderment. Both were noble characters. Antigone, a princess and Creon, the King. Both had strong ideals and morals. Antigone felt that the laws of the Gods and family were paramount, and Creon felt that the welfare and safety of his citizens and the state was of the utmost importance. Both characters believed very strongly in their ideals and would not be swayed by reason. Antigone insisted on burying her brother after he was killed in battle because it was the right thing to do by the law of the Gods, and Creon would not a .....
