    Macbeth Literary Analysis (Apperance vs Reality) Some people can be a completely different person outside and inside. Many will act in a particular way to fit and be accepted but when apart from their group they are their own person. Overall at the end of the day people take their masks off and show their true colors. This is what happened with some of the characters in William Shakespeare’s Macbeth.

    In the book Literary with an Attitude by Patrick J. Finn‚ associate professor of the Department of Learning and Instruction‚ states that “our schools offer literary equally to students‚ but somehow the ‘have nots’ refuse to take us up on our offer. They’re not smart enough or they’re lazy or simply perverse.” I believe a good majority of the less fortunate students are lazy and not motivated‚ therefore I do agree with that part of the statement Finn puts forth. There are many examples of this in

    Old Acquaintance Old Acquaintance is a melodrama film that was released in 1943 by Warner Brothers‚ directed by Vincent Sherman. Melodrama films are dramatic and focus on exaggerating the plot and characters. This film was an adaptation of a John Van Druten play in 1940. Old Acquaintance kept to the melodrama genre well by dragging out seemingly useless stories that often had nothing to do with the issue at hand‚ such as Millie Drake’s daughter having frivolous sexual relations with brought

    Literary Analysis: The Crucible In “The Crucible” by Arthur Miller‚ liars‚ cheats‚ and control freaks drastically change the story. It seemed people were in it to protect themselves and their reputation‚ even if they had to tell a lie. These aren’t any little white lies though; these are lies that sent nineteen people‚ and counting‚ to their graves. Out of every character in the story‚ I believe Abigail Williams is the instigator and catalyst to the numerous deaths and court events. She expressed

    Imagery in Macbeth “Fair is foul and foul is fair.” The Witches‚ Act 1 Scene 1 I feel that this quote depicts an extremely powerful image of appearance verses reality. The witches are foul but they give fair advice. Macbeth may seem like the nation’s hero and posses all the qualities of kingship‚ but in reality he is a ruthless‚ power hungry dictator. As it is the last line of the first scene in the entire play‚ it is very powerful and sets the idea of foreshadowing events to come in the play
