    The first scene of the second act is the shortest in length, but one of the largest in significance. In the beginning of the scene, the town is preparing for Reverend Brown’s sermon with eager anticipation. The religious fervour that Brady has been carefully nurturing and cultivating in the people of Hillsboro was to make a dramatic plateau at this sermon. Act 2 – Scene I is also the first time that the slow unceasing progress of the religious fervour was, if only momentarily, stopped. After Rev. Brown’s extreme warlike prayer, Col. Brady steps in to stop Brown, and states “… It is possible to be overzealous, to destroy that which you hope to save.”…

    When the 54th Regiment heads down South, they are put under the command of Colonel James Montgomery. In this scene, the Union army, under Montgomery’s control, pillages Darien, Georgia, stealing valuables from within the houses, and eventually burning the town.16 Creighton’s essay, while about Confederate soldiers, is similar to this scene as the corruption of morality is exemplified in the description of “independent bands of horsemen… [who] used the Confederate invasion as an opportunity to terrorize and pillage.”17 This pillaging is seen in Colonel Montgomery, who allowed his men to seize whatever they wanted and shoot at civilians’ houses, taking advantage of his authority for personal gain, similar to the independent horsemen, who took the Confederate soldiers as their authority and right to pillage the town.…

    Reverend Parris’s House: This scene is done on the right side of the stage and is closed in by the walls to develop a cramped feeling to better convey that it is taking place in a tiny upstairs bedroom. The oversized bed and the dainty side table allows for intrigue detail to be taken but still reflecting the main point of the scene, the chest is small so that there is plenty of room available downstage for the action of the scene to take place. The lighting of the scene will also reflect this by being dull to convey the candlelight aspect while still keeping the bedroom feeling evident.…

    In chapter 11 page 202 Miller explains how people rarely talk about their actual jobs or job duties when they are asked about work. They talk about how they feel when they are at work and how they feel about the people they work with. Many will also explain the culture of the place they work. People’s emotional connection with the place they work has everything to do with how they approach their job and how they deal with those duties. So in a sense I would consider everyone’s job consisting of ‘emotional labor’. Now how bearable the emotional labor is will have to do with the individual. For example, if a co-worker comes to work in a foul mood I try my best to make the work day less stressful for them so that their bad mood doesn’t get…

    Excessive pride is an inflated sense of one's personal ego or how they feel about their own accomplishments. The play, The Crucible, recounts the time period of American history in which the country was being plagued with accusations of innocent citizes working for Satan; these citizens were labeled 'witches' or 'wizards'. Most of the accused were hanged for their 'sins' and many were excommunicated from the Church. The author of The Crucible, Arthur Miller, employs the theme of Pride throughout the play to add plot twists and create suspense. In The Crucible, several main characters- Reverend Hale, Elizabeth Proctor, and John Proctor are dignified by their fleeting or strong standing acts of excessive pride in their individual roles.…

While Satan is portrayed as a rather humane protagonist thus far, his motives, beliefs, and fears are not explained and thus, only allowed for a one-dimensional interpretation. During Satan’s soliloquy in Book 4, however, he finally reflects upon himself, revealing his motives, fears, and doubts and thus, enriching his character.…

    The Gojira portrayed in Honda's film was the personification of the mass devastation brought about by nuclear testing and not merely just a monster. However, this narrative was heavily downplayed in the American remake by Morse. GKotM was edited in such a way that portrayed Godzilla as nothing more than a remorseless and unforgiving monster, out to cause massive destruction. Dr.Yamane's final remarks after having defeated Gojira, "but if we keep on conducting nuclear tests, it's possible that another Gojira might appear somewhere in the world again," was an obvious caution towards the consequences of continuous nuclear testing. Honda was clearly conveying that Gojira was unleashed as a product of human's selfish desire to dominate over nature.…

    What is Bartleby about? This is hard to answer. It would be easier to say what Bartleby is not about. The text is not about the life of a man, for there are no events; it is not about the workings of a scrivener, since for the most part there is no work actually done; it is not about the results of the actions of a man, as we can see in the story the final consequences come from his inactions. “Bartleby was one of those beings of whom nothing is ascertainable.” Is then Bartleby a real character? There is no background about him, nothing really happens to him, and he does nothing. In his first appearance he is described as “a motionless young man.” As he mentions in these lines, the narrator is intrigued by his lack…
