Imagery In Macbeth
.... Throughout act two, whenever a character speaks of Duncan’s murder, they always refer to it as the bloody deed or the bloody murder, showing that blood has taken on the meaning of treason.
In addition to treason, blood also represents guilt and remorse in act two. Shortly after he has killed Duncan, Macbeth asks himself, "Will all great Neptune's ocean wash this blood clean from my hand?," (2.2.78-79) meaning that he is already disturbed by his awful deed. Later, during the banquet scene, b .....

Boo
.... he can put off the action. The phrase "There will be time," repeated five times between lines 23 and 36, represents his hesitation and delay. When he says in lines 44 and 45 "Do I dare/ Disturb the universe?," the universe he is referring to is his small social circle of middle-class acquaintances. He would disturb its equilibrium if he actually tried to sing a "love song" to one of them. He already "knows them all" and knows that they do not expect much from him. He tries, starting at line 70, to rehears .....

.... part in his morals and sends of thoughts as he considers that he also is capable of committing such unfortunate yet amoral things. “Looking in the dead bird’s eye, I realised that these strange, unthought of connections – sex and death, lust and violence, desire and degradation – are there, there, deep in even a good heart’s chambers.
In the rapid journey which David has been forced to undertake from innocence to experience, to seeing life in a whole, truthful and certainly more painful way, he .....

King Lear
.... hast sought to make us break our vow
Which we durst yet, and with strain'd pride,
To come between our sentence and out power,
Which nor our nature nor out place can bear."
In the play itself there are three great outbursts of passion, "hysterica passio" as the King names it. The first is in the opening scene, when disappointment at Cordelia's failure to please him by an open avowal of her deep true love causes his wrath to blind his reason. For Lear, wanting something and h .....

.... which the speaker talks about how the two should
seize the day and live life to the fullest.
The use of imagery throughout the poem is also an
effective means of conveying his message to the lady. His
references to the Great Flood and the conversion of the Jews
are both examples of biblical imagery. The timelessness of
the Bible backs up his eternal love towards his lady. The
references of the tomb are perhaps the greatest images of
all, the images of death. Nothing depicts the urgency and

Macbeth - GUILTY
.... in order to protect his crown. It was after the murder of Banquo that Macbeth then turned into an unmerciful, non-repentant tyrant. This man, once heralded a hero, became the bane of Scotland and his people.
The defense has tried to manipulate facts to persuade you that Macbeth is not to blame for these murders and has placed responsibility for these deaths on everyone from Lady Macbeth to the witches, who occasionally conversed with the accused. You have heard testimonies of the three witches, who t .....

Alcohol Abuse Among Teenagers
.... can have an alcohol problem, but a study of student drinking practices shows that 5% of seventh-grade boys and 4.4% of seventh-grade girls are seriously abusing alcohol (Royce 1996). That's why we see the consequences in terms of antisocial behavior, school failure, attention deficit, learning disabilities and road accidents among the teenagers.
THE MAIN CAUSE …..MEDIA.
Despite the problems caused to young and old by alcohol, society sends mixed signals to its youth. Media presents alcohol drinking with .....

Crucible
.... “Don’t lie! (…) She comes to me while I sleep; she is always making me dream corruptions!”(Pg. 44 | Line 9)
As you can see in the paragraphs above, Abigail has a great ability to act, which she uses to blind the people in the village to her real goals. She also has enormous power in manipulating people by using her ability to act. She is power-hungry and is not afraid of destroying every thing that is in her way.

Invisible Man
.... study is that Freud himself is limited and has become less than popular.(4) The use of Jung and Lacan in addition to Freud will combat this limitation. Another limitation is that Invisible Man is such a multifaceted work that it deserves analysis of all its parts.(5) However, this study will take on only a small part of the text because of the post-modern attitude valuing studies of specific parts of texts in detail. A final limitation is that psychoanalysis is a field of speculation, and, as the edit .....

Troubles Macbeth Faced
.... heart shall be
The very firstlings of my hand."
(IV, i, 145-147).
This saying contradicts him, when he first killed King Duncan, when he said,
"But wherefore could I pronounce 'Amen'?
I had most need of blessing, and 'Amen'
Stuck in my throat."
(II, ii, 35-37).
However, due to the fact that Macbeth knows that he is disconnected from God, it will be impossible to be reconnected to Him. So his guilt fades away, knowing that he will end up in hell. Thus, this makes Macbeth lose hope of liv .....

in high school in Cleveland, Ohio. In 1921 he entered Columbia University, but left after an
unhappy year. Even as he worked as a delivery man, a messmate on ships to Africa and Europe,
a busboy, and a dishwasher, his poetry appeared regularly in such magazines as The Crisis
(NAACP) and Opportunity (National Urban League).1 As a poet, Hughes was the first person to
combine the traditional poetry with black artistic forms, especially blues and ja .....

1920s And 1930s With Reference
.... America as a period when the society that so longed to forget the war, that they were slowly transformed into a population where self-love was rampant, and the morals that America had been so tediously grasping to, fell away. Through the novels of The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald and The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway, the attitudes of disillusionment and isolation are seen in Americans are a direct outcome of the weakening of societies moral codes, and the death of the “American Dream.” The ef .....

Thought Police, a corps of law officers who monitor the populace through undercover agents, infinite amounts of surveillance cameras and hidden microphones, and a two-way television screen that can be turned down, but never off. A new language is also being introduced to retard thought: Newspeak. This new English dialect uses shortened and compacted forms of modern day words that subconsciously facilitate the assimilation of misinformation through the omission of instances such as “science”, “freedom”, .....

Gene's anger could be sensed when he made this comment, "Yes, he had practically saved my life. He had also practically lost it for me. I wouldn't have been on that damn limb if it wasn't for him. I wouldn't have truned around and so lost my balance, if he hadn't been there. I didn't need to feel any tremendous rush of gratitude towards Finny." (Knowles 25) If Gene had fallen .....

A Good Man Is Hard To Find The

"Aren't you ashamed?" she asks when June Star insults the owner of Red Sammy's Barbecue (196), but experiences no personal shame at all in stating that "Little niggers in the country don't have things like we do" (195). The grandmother knows there is no secret compartment in the house she wishes to visit, yet she tells the children this compartment exists in order to convince Bailey into stopping. The fami .....
