The Villains In Much Ado About Nothing And Othello
.... faints, and everyone assumes she is dead. Eventually Borrachio is overheard talking about Don John’s plan, and Don John is arrested. Later Claudio learns that Hero is not actually dead, and they are finally married. "Othello"’s Iago is very much similar to Don John. He wants to get revenge on Othello for not being chosen as lieutenant and also suspects that Othello has slept with Emilia. Somehow Iago manages to manipulate Othello into thinking that Desdemona cheated on him. When he demands that she show him the handkerchief he had given her, and she does not, he is convinced that she is being unfaithful. This is when he decides th .....

The National Endowment For The Arts
.... mind in support of the arts program.
One of the biggest arguments against federal funding for the arts is that it costs too much money and that the government is already in debt too severely to provide for something as unnecessary as art. True, the government is extremely in debt, but what most people don’t know is that the NEA actually helps the economy, rather than hurt it. First of all, the amount of money spent by the government is actually relatively insignificant to its total expenditures. Cultural funding is less than one one-hundredths of one percent (.001%) of the federal government’s multi-billion dollar budget, an .....

Dorine, Her Voice Of Reason And How She Is Able To Save The Family From Their Demise
.... of her time. I believe that it is here that Moliere foreshadows the importance of Dorine's a character. Later on in the play she will play a crucial role in saving Mariane, her counterpart, from marrying Tartuffe, and ultimately saving Orgon's family by bringing about plans to reveal Tartuffe's manipulative and deceitful character. It is important that Dorine is so outspoken because if she were not Mariane would surely have married Tartuffe. Moliere portrays Mariane as a typical woman of the time. One that cannot make decisions for herself and one that is willing to do whatever it takes to make her family or society happy, ev .....

Nature’s Significance In King Lear
.... demonstrate this idea when he points out that at a later point in the play, after Lear was treated horribly by Goneril, Lear express his conviction that Regan, unlike Goneril, knows better “The offices of nature, bond of childhood.” (2.4.202) It is ironic that here Lear uses the exact same word as Cordelia has used before, that is, “bond” to describe the natural ties that he himself broke before only to expect that they will be followed by his daughter, Regan when he is in a time of need.
However, Lear primarily does not understand what Cordelia means when she says this, and is very upset as a consequence. At this point Lear des .....

The Fall Of Macbeth
....
“This means that Macbeth is always dressed in tittles that are not his.”
New honours come upon him,
Like our strange garments, cleave not to their mould,
But with the aid of use.
(Banquo,1.3,144, p.14)
“This means that the idea constantly recurs that Macbeth’s new honours sit ill upon him, like a loose and badly fitting garment, belonging to someone else.”
Similarly, Shakespeare uses the symbol of blood in Macbeth to represent treason, guilt, murder and death. The first time we see blood in the play is when Macbeth sees the bloody dagger floating in the air in front of him. Shakespeare used this image to foreshadow .....

The Renaissance
.... Books became widespread and affordable to the general public. Education and literacy increased as literature became available in a variety of languages. People expressed their vies openly in their publications, which did not go over well with the Catholic Church. In 1502, the Holy See ordered that all books challenging papal authority must be burned. This order came too late however, and the spread of freethinking during the Renaissance continued despite the censorship from the church.
The Religious establishment went through many changes during the Renaissance. People relied less on the church for guidance and focused mo .....

Aristotle’s Theory Of Tragedy As Seen In Euripides’ Electra
.... can be viewed as tragic figures, however Orestes is the better choice according to Aristotle. Orestes is the son of a king and is a prince, thus he is of a high birth. He has ethos, or a sense of right and wrong, in that he recognizes the injustices that have been done unto his father Agamemnon, his sister Electra, and himself by both Clytemnestra and her lover Aegisthus. Orestes is basically a good person in that he is motivated by justice and love of his sister and murdered father.

Dance
.... teenage years, only the people who are meant to be dancers will pull through. The middle years are difficult to maintain the dedication with the other temptations available to the youth.

Performing makes a dancer realize whether or not she wants to continue with dance for the remainder of her life. Being on a stage either gives the dancer a love or a hatred for the art. When the dancer has a hatred for dance, she normally quits dance altogether.
The first role a dancer receives in a professional ballet .....

Romeo And Juliet: Violence And Bloodshed
.... Northern Italy, I noted that "Italy is a very hot place in the summer, also quite humid."
After reading this I then realized that a great deal of the violence in Romeo and Juliet become more understandable; they're all short tempered because of the heat! This is even noted when Benvolio warns Mercutio that " The day is hot, and Capulets abroad/And if we meet we shall not scape a brawl/ For now, these hot days, is the mad blood stirring." Unfortunatley, he warns too late, and the brawls he wished to avoid is met in the form of Tybalt.
The mad blood stirring...Think back a few summers, was there ever a time in you life in whe .....

The Night: Living By Conformity
.... our needs will be served and when we will receive them, in other words, impatience! We must learn to accept the values of waiting and see all optimistic outlooks of the world. As humans, we are given freedom, so we should use the free will given to accept all values that should be appreciated on this earth, instead of laying everything off. The longer we influence ourselves that earth will take care of us, and lose patience while doing so, we will deteriorate. It is our jobs as humans to take care of the earth, not for it to take care of us.
I know that as a kid, no one quite understands how privileged we are to live in .....
