Antigone: Creon
.... a woman of innate nobility and idealism, unwilling to compromise the truth as she sees it, who suffers a cruel and undeserved punishment. In either case, it is important to realize that Antigone is driven by her principles and a reasoned analysis of the situation.

Jean-Claude Van Damme - Double Impact
.... head butts Chad. When Chad revives from being knock unconscious, Frank convinces the two brothers to help avenge the deaths of their parents.
The setting for this movie is very appropriate. They are in Hong Kong where the laws are not up to par with the American Style. This allows the corrupt trades of Zhang, Griffith, and Alex to go on hardly disturbed by the Hong Kong police.
The dominant theme in Double Impact is vengeance and it is seen quite readily once the action gets rolling. Alex and Chad are out to kill Zhang and Griffith for the massacre of their parents. As the movie rolls on, Alex becomes suspicious .....

Only weeks ago innocent people were killed by kids who were tormented by their peers because they were not especially fit to this society. On the news a lot recently is the question of who is to blame for this horrible act of violence, no one knows the answer. Edmund was never treated as and equal because he was a bastard.

Hamlet: Was Hamlet Insane
.... Claudius, Gertrude, Ophelia, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. His “madness” doesn’t come out around Horatio, Bernardo, Francisco, the players or the gravediggers. At one point Claudius himself admits that Hamlet’s “actions although strange, do not appear to stem from madness” (internet, Hamlet, pg. 1-2). Polonius also admits that Hamlet’s actions and works have a “method” (internet, Hamlet, pg. 2) to them and they are of logical nature. Hamlet tells his mother that he is not really mad, “but mad in craft” (internet, Hamlet, pg. 2). This suggests that he does really know what he is doing, and is not really insane as he is somet .....

A second example and perhaps one of the best was also a painter, Vincent Van Gogh.
