... or housewives. There does not seem to be any attempt for a switch of roles. Females are feminine, males masculine. There has been one exception, which was Kylie Minogue's character, Charlene, on Neighbours. She was a mechanic and tomboy. This is one of the few occasions where a soap has interrogated the cultural construction of gender and representation of identity. A music video is footage that accompanies a song. They can have a storyline related to the song, displays of images or simply focusing on the artist/s performing. Music video is forever crossing the lines of gender and identity. It is able to do this as it is seen as a form of art, therefore there is no t ...

... Morphine Power Rangers, cartoons (eventhogh I love them), and the V.R. Troopers, to name a couple. Surprise! they are either based on fighting or getting smashed by trucks and we laugh and we love it. It's hard to beat watching someone else beat up on after you just had a bad day. Football and hockey, can't beat them but no one really cares about the principle of the game we all just want to see the big hits. When watching football highlights the things they love to show the most are the career ending tackles usually before they even show the scores, hey who cares about the score after you just saw some guy get annihilated by a 250 pound linebacker, we just get excited about the h ...

... and nobility of man. They give these concepts an order to help us understand life in a greater depth. In understanding the history and style of any period of art, we have to comprehend the balance between social and political development of that particular era. Within each and every period, development of style is affected by a response to particular philosophies, social and economic conditions, political and spiritual influences. World Issues have been reflected in art throughout the ages, and this premise is supported by three particular periods of time. This is clearly evident when viewing ancient art, where symbolism was an important part of society. Also, through the eighteenth a ...

... be worth millions and millions of dollars being converted from Spanish hands to English. These three sea dogs were not just part time pirates though. Pirating was their main job. William Wood stated that, “...(Spaniards) they were only naval amateurs, compared with the trained professional sea dogs.” Drake alone was responsible for over 150 attempted or successful attacks on Spanish treasure ships (Howarth 105). Drake also accomplished something that only a select few (George Bush) are able to do: he was knighted. One reason many believe he was knighted though was not because of heroics, but because, “...a fair share of the immense booty he brought back to England passed quietly int ...

... they were looking out for me. As a result of them telling me, I found out the ghost was my father. He told me a lot of information about what happened to him before his death, and the details about his death. He told me that he was murdered by my Uncle Claudius, by means of poison in the ear. When I was talking with my father’s ghost, he also told me to so three things. The first was to sweep Claudius off the thrown and do something to end the incest and luxury from the kingdom. I will honestly try my hardest to fulfill this wish so I will take over what is rightfully mine. The second was to leave my mother Gertrude out of the whole revenge against the king. He wanted me to let her ...

... means of solving a problem. The classic view of "good" versus "evil" is the basis of these shows with violence as the answer. When children watch these programs they copy the actions and "morals" of these shows depicting "good" and "evil". Children do not know what "good" is or what "evil" is, how can they? This world is not broken into "good" and "evil". "Evil" to children is what opposes them, what does not agree with them, or any other person or thing that poses a possible difficulty. Children must be taught that there are differences in this world. This world is filled with many people holding different beliefs, ideas, and morals. That is what makes this world so unique and ...

... he only manifests his “madness” around certain characters. These characters would be Polonius, Claudius, Gertrude, Ophelia, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. His “madness” doesn’t come out around Horatio, Bernardo, Francisco, the players or the gravediggers. At one point Claudius himself admits that Hamlet’s “actions although strange, do not appear to stem from madness” (internet, Hamlet, pg. 1-2). Polonius also admits that Hamlet’s actions and works have a “method” (internet, Hamlet, pg. 2) to them and they are of logical nature. Hamlet tells his mother that he is not really mad, “but mad in craft” (internet, Hamlet, pg. 2). This suggests that he does really know what he is doing, and is ...

... John was much like Tybalt's peace keeping foil character, Mercutio. Lastly, Doc tried to help Tony and stop all the insanity around him like Friar Laurence. In both stories, comic relief occurred to keep the audience interested, but the two plays usually differed in their approaches to comedy. In Romeo And Juliet, Mercutio amused the audience with his actions and soliloquies. Westside Story didn't have a character like Mercutio, so it used a combination of their dance and characters for comic relief. The Jets performed a humorous song that mocked Officer Krumpke. Also, to enliven the audience, The Jets always picked on Anybodys, a scruffy looking girl who always tried to ...

... take a corrupt person in power and replace a fair and just person. Sooner or later they also become corrupt. You just have to assume and hope the replacement will be a fair person. In the tradgity "Macbeth" there are many examples of corruption. When Macbeth became Thane of Cowdor his wife, Lady Macbeth, was very delighted to hear of such news. And when hearing that Duncan, the king ,would be coming to dinner at their castle, gave her an idea that maybe they need a new king, Macbeth! This is a perfect example of corruption, as soon as she became more powerful, she was lusting for more. As play carries on the corruption becomes greater with the killing of Banquo. Banquo who was a friend o ...

... again, the witches put ideas in his head. Although the witches can be held responsible for the murder of King Duncan, Lady Macduff and her son, they cannot be held responsible for the murder of Banquo. The witches only speak of Banquo when Macbeth meets with them for the second time and Act 4, Scene 1, after Banquo has already been killed. This murder is the complete responsibility of Macbeth, because the witches had absolutely nothing to do with it and it was only Macbeth's own suspicions that brought him to have Banquo killed. If Macbeth had not taken action to fulfill the witch's prophecies, he would probably have been happily living as the thane of Glamis and Cawdor at the end of the ...
