- 6624: Is There Evil in Lady Macbeth and Edmund?
- ... self conscience that she went crazy and killed herself. King Lear is also a work written by William Shakespeare that focuses on the relationships of many characters, some good and some evil. This is a great tragedy that is full of injustice at the beginning and the restoring of justice towards the end. The good are misjudged as evil and the evil are accepted as good. It is not until the end of the play that the righteous is accepted as good. This shows great betrayal and deception involved in the hierarchy of English rule. A mistake that was made in the course of the play was by the Earl of Gloucester. After being tricked by his bastard son, Edmund ...
- 6625: Ophelia As A Reason For Hamlet's Madness
- ... culprit is. This is kept a secret between the two and their love is what keeps the secret from getting out. All the little tragedies within the original tragedy are what make it such a great tragedy, but if I were to make this into a love story these wouldn’t be necessary. By eliminating Claudius secretly. Hamlet’s revenge is no longer necessary. Hamlet does not end up killing Polonius ... scandals and deaths don’t take place, this play can now be called a love story. Hamlet does not die and there for it cannot be called a tragedy, and this play is still a great play because it has love, mystery, and because William Shakespeare wrote it.
- 6626: Madness In Macbeth and Hamlet
- ... his own misery when he kills people. This causes him and his wife to become insecure, because of the reasons for his actions, which in turn causes him to commit more murders.

The three Witches are only responsible for introducing the ideas to Macbeth, and putting the ideas in his head, but ... would never have thought seriously about killing Duncan without the witches. But the combination of his ambitious and the witch's prophecies leads him to kill the king. Lady Macbeth even says, "Thou wouldst be great/ Art not without ambition."(MI,V,80-81). Macbeth also says, "his besetting sin: I have no spur/ To prick the sides of my intent, but only/ Vaulting ambition." Macbeth's ambition is shown while ...
- 6627: Richard III: Impact On The Audience
- ... uses this string to his advantage during the first thirty-five lines of the play. How could anyone hate a man who pours the disappointments of his life out to them?

He is too hideous to seduce a lady, the main pastime during peace, and ... a play that is not only full of fabulous lines, as is any Shakespearean play, but has a draw to it that makes the audience completely enraptured with Richard and his life. It is a great display of history and a magnificent work of art.
- 6628: Does Michelangelo'S Talent Still Reflect After The Restorations In The Sistine Chapel?
- ... has been hidden, his idea is still there. Just not so vividly. I agree and disagree with the restorations for different reasons. I agree because his work is admired by millions and it is showing great interest trying to save these paintings. I disagree, because these paintings are being admired by so many people and people pay money to see his paintings. Why pay money to see them if it is ... time these paintings were painted. I like Michelangelo's work, but seeing the video, I could tell a major difference in the art work and it seemed so vivid that it had been changed a great deal.

- 6629: L’Atalante & Breathless Response Paper
- ... I thought about any of the characters. This made me watch closer and held my interest for the duration of the film. In conclusion, although I didn’t particularly like L’Atalante, it was a great example of “real” mise-en-scene of its time. It proved to be much different than the new wave Breathless, which had a “stylized” mise-en-scene. The great differences in these categories was shown through the use of many things including character development, costuming, and acting styles.

- ... apparitions. The three new prophasies he is presented with are to beware of the Thane of Fife, no one that is born from a mother shall kill Macbeth and Macbeth will never be defeated until Great Birnam Wood forest would moves. The four apparitions were an armed head that is a symbol of war. A bloody child which may be Lady Macbeth's child from the past (in the play it ... as a doornail.
