Shakespeare’s Hamlet allows readers and viewers to fully understand and comprehend the reasoning behind Young Hamlet’s descent into madness‚ while other texts leave readers preoccupied with looming

“Genius is one per cent inspiration‚ ninety- nine per cent perspiration.” This famous saying by Thomas Alva Edison is very relevant in our present day context.It means that it is hard work that makes a person a genius.Edison was of the view that geniuses are made‚ not born.I agree with his views.Not everyone in this world who has good luck is a genius.Usually we find that the people who work hard to achieve their goal are the ones who are successful.Many times

The idea of a character feigning madness is not foreign to great literary works; in fact‚ many authors use it to show the sanity of the character. Odysseus shows his sanity by pretending to be mad in Homer’s The Iliad to avoid going to war. If his plan had been successful‚ he would have stayed safe at home‚ away from the dangers of war. The idea of feigning madness is also apparent throughout Shakespeare’s Hamlet. The tragic character puts on an act after he is told of his father’s murder‚ perhaps

Madness‚ as portrayed by the media‚ is defined by its visibility. From the popular press to TV soaps and films‚ the depiction of madness always borders on the extreme: violent outbursts‚ fits‚ hallucinations.

Hamlet‚ he was believed to have feigned his madness. I believe he did this as a way to get away with murder. The entire time Hamlet knew what was coming for him if he succeeded at getting revenge for his father’s murder. Overtime‚ Hamlet begins to cross the line into madness. Ophelia‚ also feigned her madness just to get Hamlet’s head back in the game. She was on a mission to figure out why Hamlet has gone mad. Hamlet’s method to have feigned his madness may have been to have a reason to get away

Reefer Madness All I can say about this movie is‚ wow. It seriously made me laugh because the way they portrayed “potheads.” I realize that the 1930’s were very different from now and even my teenage years‚ but that movie was utterly ridiculous. I honestly am not sure what those people were smoking‚ but I cannot believe it was marijuana. I realize that it does make people laugh but not hysterically like that. It also‚ does make some people want to be more sexual and even some paranoid. I will

Concrete proof and evidence is required for a theory to be believable. The beast theory in the book Lord Of The Flies lacks concrete proof which makes me agree with Simon’s statement “maybe there is a beast...what I mean.. maybe it’s only us”. The littluns‚ who are the ones who started this “beast” theory‚ first said that the beast was “a snake thing‚ ever so big‚” but then the island has many creepers which could be mistaken for a snake at night. Then the littluns mentioned that the beast was “a

Proof Media Assignment The movie‚ proof‚ directed by the talented John Madden had a much more effective and successful ending than the Pulitzer Prize winning proof written by David Auburn in the year 2000.

The added scene at the end of the movie that portrayed Hal running like a cheetah chasing after
