The White Lady Essays

longer a mixture; there was only white. When we arrived at the warehouse, I had to peel my arm off the side of the hot door like a burnt sausage off a skillet. There were not many cars in the parking lot, and I could see the heat waves. As we walked up the boiling pavement, it felt like we were walking through a scorching desert. When we walked into the warehouse, there was a variety of electronic appliances to choose from, and about three-fourths of them were white (of course).

Stephen King, a famous writer once said, “Books and movies are like apples and oranges. They are both fruit, but they taste completely different.” Truly, this applies to all movies and books. This quote is effective describing the novel and the movie, A Raisin in the Sun. Although the two share similar scenes and acts, the movie shows a lot more details which make it better. These details include changes to the script to make it more understandable. The changes to the script also make the movie more

a conversation and he excuses Lady Macbeth from his conversation because she is a women. Macduff said “ ‘Tis not for you to hear what I can speak! The repetition in a woman's ear would murder as if fell.” (II. III. 92-94). Macduff tells Lady Macbeth, that what he had to say isn't for women ears.

Shakespeare, a prime example of an excessive amount of ambition is displayed through both Macbeth and Lady Macbeth’s actions. Essentially, Macbeth becomes power hungry and goes on a rampant killing spree that causes Lady Macbeth and Macbeth to be overcome with guilt. They both contain an excessive amount of desires due to their ultimate goal being for Macbeth to be crowned king. However, throughout

Just like every person has their own journey through life, every character has their own quest on which they embark and learn from. In Thomas Pynchon’s The Crying of Lot 49, the main character, Oedipa, undertakes a quest of not only fulfilling her duties to her ex boyfriend, Pierce, but fulfilling something within herself as well. Pynchon’s application of the quest model in this book portrays Oedipa’s personal development through use of symbolism and metaphor, and also brings forth greater implications

Jane Austen’s Emma opens with a straightforward, strong statement “Emma Woodhouse, handsome, clever, and rich” ; although a bit unusual and slightly vain, Austen has brought Emma as an emasculated heroine making her a suited character to a patriarchal society. On the other hand the thoughtful head of William Shakespeare’s Hamlet and his hatred of women shown by occasional exclaims and verbally aggressive behavior “Frailty, thy name is woman!” represent women as being worthy only of their beauty

Audra’s anger abated and the tension in her jaw and shoulders lessened. “I’m not cross with you. Not any more. But I don’t like being told what to do. And it’s more than that.” She continued walking, her eyes fixed on the stairwell before her. “I worry you view me as weak.” “What?” asked Maxen, as if he hadn’t heard correctly? “You heard me.” They ascended the stairs. Whether Maxen wanted to join her or not, she was going to the armory to change and then train. “Wait, stop.” Maxen rushed up several

silence those who are considered obstacles. However, if one decides to fight against the powerful, the results have the potential to change an entire population. This is seen in Kathryn Stockett’s novel The Help, where Stockett describes how Skeeter, a white aspiring writer, was struggling to free herself from the dominating

The ‘Lady of Shalott’ first published in 1833 is loosely based on medieval sources, the Arthurian times. The island of Shallot lies further down a river near the town of Camelot. A woman is imprisoned on the island in a castle, known as the lady of Shallot. She is cursed from looking outside and thereby spends time weaving a magical tapestry. A magic mirror serves as her only way to view the external world but not her own image. Once she dared to glance at Sir Lancelot who was passing by the nearby

and the theme of blood used by Macbeth and Lady Macbeth negatively affect their marriage causing strain which lead to gigantic mistakes and eventually lead to their demise. In the beginning Macbeth is promised the role of king from Lady Macbeth if he murders King Duncan in his sleep which will also make Lady Macbeth Queen. After a lot of fighting and back and forth talk Macbeth eventually “murders sleep” (II,II,51). Macbeth is very scared of this and Lady Macbeth tries to talk sense into him and has

The bloody hand on the Castle is also meant to be a stain on the reputation of the Macbeth and Lady Macbeth; a stain symbolizes their guilty consciences (especially Lady Macbeth’s). But this stain is not only viewed by others, but by the owners themselves. For Lady Macbeth, her guilt slowly begins to prevent her from continuing in the seat of power, as seen by her death a few scenes after the visions of the blood-soaked hands. Blood is also represent the consequences of overreaching ambition as well

going to allow fate to take its course. “If chance will have me king, why, chance may crown me, without my stir”(1.3.144). However, once Lady Macbeth began to question Macbeth’s manhood by insulting him, he could no longer disregard the idea of becoming king immediately. At that point, Macbeth felt anxious and guilty about plotting King Duncan’s murder to satisfy Lady Macbeth. In fact, as the time for murder approached, Macbeth began to hallucinate while walking towards Duncan’s

Macbeth, by William Shakespeare, is a dark play full of witchcraft and foreshadowing. Lady Macbeth showed scheming qualities throughout the play which had a lot of influence on her husband, Macbeth. Because of her controlling personality, Macbeth was scared to disappoint her. She was the one who positioned the idea of Duncan’s murder into her husband’s mind where he was succumbed by her supremacies and made the ultimate mistake. It was also her idea to place the blame of Duncan’s death on the soldiers

Consumed by ambition Macbeth and his wife (Lady Macbeth) kill the King but are soon devoured by guilt that ultimately leads to the pair’s demise. In comparison to Geoffrey Wright’s film Macbeth (2006), Roman Polanski’s transformation (1971) better conveys Shakespeare’s underlying message that when a desire for this power is combined with unchecked ambition destruction is inevitable. This invited reading is palpable through the characters of Macbeth, Lady Macbeth and Macduff who all possess ambition

Christopher Pike once said, “Nothing is as it seems. Black can appear white when the light is blinding but white loses all luster at the faintest sign of darkness.” Pike tackled the idea of appearance versus reality just as Shakespeare does in Macbeth. Through the use of both figurative language and irony, William Shakespeare successfully conveys the theme—nothing is as it seems—in his play, Macbeth. Among the plethora of figurative devices in Macbeth are alliteration and antithesis. (How ironic

characters throughout the play. After the murdering of King Duncan, Lady Macbeth ridicules Macbeth for behaving weak and naïve, by saying “my hands are of your color, but I shame to wear a heart so white” (2.2.63-64). Even after committing the murder of King Duncan, Macbeth’s masculinity is challenged, since he experiences feelings of guilt, shame and fear, all of which do not fall under the Macbeths’ definition of manhood. Lady Macbeth criticizes Macbeth, because even though she also plays a role

tight in Lady Macbeth but later dies down into a pit of guilt. I have chosen to split the collage in half, with one side filled with quotations that show Lady Macbeth’s confidence and willingness, and the other half with quotes that imply Lady Macbeth’s dying guilt, for instance, quotes from Act 5 Scene 1. I have also used the colour red to symbolise all of the guilt from killing, as an expressive motif. The black half and the white half contrast the absolute difference between how Lady Macbeth changed

The appearance of the witches’ prophecies and Lady Macbeth’s urging causes Macbeth to begin having violent thoughts. Macbeth’s caution of the thoughts plaguing his mind is shown when he says, “My thought, whose murder yet is but fantastical, Shakes so my single state of man that function, Is smother’d
