what children watch. With the wide range of programming available, if a
child watches television without any supervision, it is very likely that

While television can be a negative force, it can also be very
positive if used correctly. There are many programs on television today
that are both educational and entertaining. There is quality programming

a regicide, which to an Elizabethan was outright sacrilege.

The explanations are valid, and the only peculiar fact is that
Hamlet has got so many reasons for waiting - a different one each time.
Furthermore, it is characteristic in Hamlet that he only receives problems
when he at last seizes the sword. He is convinced that he has .....

Rosencrantz, Guildenstern, Laertes, and Hamlet himself may have survived.
A reason must then be drawn from one's own interpretations of Hamlet.
Following two renound interpretations of Hamlet, two major conclusions can
be made. First, Shakespeare's tragedy is a work of surpassing interest and
genius, and the tragic hero is universally attractive and fascinating.
Second, only the naive will start with the assumption that there is one
obvious interpretation of the .....

Shakespeare's "Henry IV": Summary
.... most of his time drinking in the tavern. Hal likes to hang
out with Falstaf because he is funny and outspoken. Hal and Falstaf could
make fun of each other and call each other names and that wont bother them.
For instance when the prince started calling Falstaf, “This bed-presser,
this horse-back-breaker, this huge hill of flesh”. Then Falstaf came back
by saying, “Sblood, you starveling, you eel-skin, you dried neat's- tongue,

then cleans herself of the blood on her.
"A little water clears us of this deed," meaning that if there is
no blood on them they can not be guilty.
Banqueting, eating and food symbolise a happy and unsuspecting
atmosphere. When you are in a crowd you feel safe and not threatened. If
you are with a lot of people when there is a crime you have a very strong
alibi. When Macbeth was at his banquet he made a toast to Banquo who was
not present, MacBeth knew exactly why Banquo was not p .....

Television - In Living Color
.... power of television comes from three specific
areas: an inordinate amount of time spent in front of the television,
it's ability to target a specific audience, and it's ability to attack the

The time spent in front of a television continues to grow with each
generation. The number of hours a child spends in front of a television
is rapidly overtaking even the number of hours that they will spend in
school. Included in their weekly television viewing ar .....

King Oedpius: Oedpius A Person Of Great Importance

Would a "good" man wish his own brother-in-law dead when no one could even
testify to his guilt? Would a "good" man threaten a timid shepherd with
pain and death merely because he was hesitant to reveal the harsh realities
of Oedipus' life? Oedipus' tale of meeting Laius is another troubling
point. In Colonus he states in plain terms that King Laius would have
murdered him had he not killed Laius. In his initial speech to Jocasta on
Laius' death he tells a .....
