A Doll's House: A Push To Freedom
.... of unturth. In "Ghosts",
the play Ibsen wrote directly after "A Doll's House", the same conflict is the
basis of the play. Because Mrs. Alving concedes to her minister's ethical
bombardment about her responsibilities in marriage, she is forced to conceal the
truth about her late husband's behavior ( ). Like "A Doll's House", "Ghosts"
can be misinterpreted as simply an attack on the religious values of Ibsen's
society. While this is certainly an important aspect of the play, it is not,
however, Ibsen .....

Support Through The National Endowment For The Arts
.... No subject matter is
forbidden. We should support free speech not suppress it. This can
however, be taken to extremes. A selection of art can be deemed as
offensive to the general public. This does not mean that restrictions
should be placed on it preventing people from viewing it. The taxpayers
money should not go towards the presentation of such works. A large
percentage of funding of the arts comes from private giving. If a minority
group wishes to view such art, they should have to support it t .....

Creon's Role Of King And His Responsibilities
.... of accountability to the people. This accountability is what Creon says
inspires "fear" in the king, for if affairs of state or of the people fall into
decline, the king is the first person whom the citizenry look to blame. This is
analogous to executive leaders throughout history, as one can see in looking at
American presidents and the correlation between the present conditions and
events of the nation to the public's opinion of the president, regardless of the
actual impact that his decision .....

The Crucible: Although Abigail And The Girls Initiate The Tragedy, Responsibility Lies With The Whole Salem Community
.... confessed that the whole story was a pretense,
Abigail continues manipulating the court room and the people within it with
antics of ‘a wind, a cold wind' and ‘Oh Heavenly Father, take away this shadow'.
In the end she is adamant to convince the court that they were only involved
with witchcraft because of Mary Warren, hoping profusely to save her own name.
Denial in Salem is considered a terrible sin. The narrow mindedness of the
court possesses an unwritten law that if your name is brought out with .....

Darkness; Beacon Of Chaos In Macbeth
.... is described as an
agent of disorder, "untitled tyrant bloody-sceptered". The language in Act 1
that described Macbeth has changed from "noble" and "kind" to the diction of Act
4 witch describes Macbeth as "black Macbeth" and a "tyrant". The Castle that
Macbeth lives in, Dunsanine is also indicative of darkness. Dunsanine is similar
to the word dungeon a dark and dirty place. In Act 4 Macbeth is an agent of
disorder, he murders and he consults witches, because of this he is described
using dark imagery.

David Williamson's "The Club" And "The Removalists"
.... of the committee in upholding the tradition not because he believed in
it himself, but because he didn't want Laurie to succeed, "They might have
believed in it but the reason why you wouldn't let the Club buy players was to
stop me winning a flag."
However, Jock does support and use tradition when it is in agreement
with his goals. For example when trying to avert a players' strike, Jock claims
that former Club heroes would be disgusted by the idea, "I want to turn all
those photographs around so they .....

appe ars to be more interested in the sound and technology of the machine

The Die Hard Trilogy: McClain An Example Of A Hero In America
.... needed help. The partner he picks is a inner city black man, in the
fifties this never would have happened. The fact that he picks a black man
incorporates some multicultural aspects into the movie. The fact that he picks
a partner shows some post modern aspects of Hollywood. Both of these facts help
sell movies and help define a hero in America today.
Another aspect that makes McClain a post modern hero in America is the
fact that he to has problems, James Bond was never like this, he always had a .....

How Do We Evaluate Art?
.... that mean an
older human has greater personal experience? Theoretically, it is. We see that
we usually find an adult's suggestion is much more ideal than a child's. When
we are judging with our experience, we are actually doing comparison. We are
asking ourselves several questions. Is it better than what I had seen before?
Is it creative? Can it be better? Is it professional?
However, not all of our experience is good. There are bad memories.
Our judgement is therefore wrong. Thus, we have .....

The Crucible: John Proctor And John Hale - Good Citizen Vs. Good Person

Proctor's honesty eventually lead to his downfall and death.
The first incident in the play where we see Proctor's honesty is after
the affair he had with Abigail. He realized his mistake and was honest and
admitted it to his wife Elizabeth. In the next situation where Proctor is
involved he tells the Reverend Parris why he does not like him, and it also gets
him into trouble. He tells him, “Can you speak one minute without we land in
hell again, I'm .....

Timeline Of Art
.... and matured. The hangover from this
movement led to new means of expression. It was never a movement with aims
that could be realized such as successive movements as Cubism was, but was
a erratic process of experiments with possibilities suggested by the post-
impressionist painters.
Cubism:
Cubism, which began very shortly after Fauvism, is exemplified by
Pablo Picasso. In this movement the flattened space including background
and foreground are related in a new and more abrupt manner. The .....

Cartoons: Land Of Imagination
.... Universe.
The Cartoon Universe is not a tangible substance, rather an exploration
into imagination. It is this facet that makes this universe more appealing than
our own. One is free to create and manipulate not only the physical actions of
a character, but the mental behavior as well. If my recollection serves me
correct, aside from hypnosis, there is nowhere else that this is possible. In
the cartoon world, "anything goes." There are no boundaries to which one is
confined. With a little ingenuit .....

Essay On The Movie "Lord Of The Flies"
.... is that the movie was black
and white. Since their was a lot of special effect in the film the movie should
have been coloured. The special effects would have looked neater since a lot of
killing was shot. If the movie was coloured the audience would focus on the
screen often, rather than seeing a black and white screen.
The settings and the props were not prepared well. My first example is that the
boys shirts, were clean everyday. Their clothes should be black and grey,
because of the dirt a .....

Krapp's Last Tape: Imagery In Color
.... his life, Krapp retained this rigid and anal
retentive nature. He kept these tapes in which he would constantly reevaluate
his own life and try to always improve it, using these tapes as "help before
embarking on a new retrospect" (1629). He had also stored these various tapes
organized in boxes with their location written in a ledger. Yet in his latter
years, there is an apparent decay of this regimental attitude. His very
appearance is an indication of this decline. He is described as wearing "Rust .....
