Dark Keys to Shakespearean Conflict
[ send me this paper ]
(10 pp) In any tragedy, it is tension or conflict
which keeps the play moving. Modern jargon would
call it "spin" and "counterspin." In this
discussion we will compare the sources of conflict
in two plays, Othello and Macbeth. Iago and Lady
Macbeth are our major obsessives,the first prompted
by an apparent frustration with being passed over
in military command, yet disguising a darker
personal agenda, and the second, Lady Macbeth with
a compulsive need for power and title.

changing influence upon Macbeth. In the movie, Chinatown, the character
of Noah Cross shapes the destiny of Jake Gittes and in The Man Who Shot

Human Nature in Classics' Nature
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing portrayal of natural
events relating to human nature as provided by Dante, Shakespeare, Sophocles and Homer.
The images portrayed here all can be related to conditions of the human mind at various
stages. Emotions can take the form of the churning sea that the master calms, they can
result in murder in the heat of a moment, or they can be cherished and nurtured over a
lifetime to create a being that is truly evil. The nature of classical literature teaches lessons
of avoidance. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
