- 11167: The Cathedral
- ... his misunderstanding of the people and the relationships presented to him in this story which show most clearly his tragic flaw: while Robert is physically blind, it is the narrator that cannot clearly see the world around him. In the eyes of the narrator, Robert s blindness is his defining characteristic. The opening line of Cathedral reads, This blind man, an old friend of my wife s, he was on his ... narrator s naivete leaves him amazed by Robert, who does things which the narrator would view as atypical of the blind. This reinforces the idea that the narrator is blind to the reality of the world. The narrator s blindness is certainly not limited to Robert he no better understands the relationship between his wife and the blind man: They d become good friends, my wife and the blind man On ... sweet lips: And then my dear husband came into my life something like that. But I heard nothing of the sort. This only reaffirms that once again, the narrator completely misreads the situations in the world around him.

- 11168: The Philosophy Of Life According To Macbeth
- ... he has come to create in his mind (after enduring the two most major tragedies im his life), the loss of his wife, and when Birnam Wood advances on Dunsinane, which in turn caused his world to fall apart. Although he thinks life is insignificant, he still fights on. Macbeth's philosophy is, as he would say it, "a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing ... advance on his kingdom. This too, had a great effect on him. When he sees that Birnam Woods is advancing on his castle, he starts to get scared. At this point, he realizes that his world is about to crumble with him in the middle. Macbeth's whole life collapses when Macduff tells him that "I am from my mother's womb untimely ripped" (V.viii.57); which basically meant Macbeth has met his defeat. As Macbeth sees it, his time on stage is up, and he embraces his fate. "I ‘gin to be aweary of the sun, And wish th' estate o' th' world now undone" (V.v.49-50). In other words, Macbeth is sick of things going bad for him and wishes that the world did not have to have good prevail all the time. At ...
- 11169: The Walkabout
- The Walkabout I felt that this movie was fairly easy to understand. This movie to me symbolized the reality between the real world and the dessert. It is easy to see this within the first few minutes of the movie. There were immediately two camera shots that showed a brick wall and then the city, then a brick wall and to the rural desert. Something that I did notice about the film was the camera shots that showed how little the people were in the real world. The first example of this was when the little boy was walking home he walked beside a huge tree, the big building and little woman inside, and big desert with a little car. These examples were present throughout the entire movie. All of these examples stood out to me. To me it showed how small we are in the real world. This was even more resounding when they were lost in the desert. The characters seemed so tiny in the outback of Australia. I felt that the music attributed to the movie greatly. The film ...
- 11170: Theseus or Hercules?
- Theseus or Hercules? Theseus is most worthy of emulation. He was a great hero in Athens. "Theseus was, of course bravest of the brave as all heroes are, but unlike the other heroes he was as compassionate as he was brave." (p. 159). Theseus also was a man of bravery, intellect and bodily strength. Hercules on the other hand was what all Greece except Athens most admired. He was very strong but wasn't too smart ... foolishness was shown on many occasions such as when he killed his family and his music teacher. Theseus' intellect is one very valuable quality which makes him more worthy of emulation. Third, Theseus was very brave. In fact he went on so many great excursions that a saying grew up in Athens "Nothing without Theseus!" (p. 149). When it was time for Theseus to seek his father he would not ...
