Summary: Andrius And The Horses

Improved Essays
With all the clues in place, Lina realizes that Andrius and his mother were working with Soviets. Lina’s suspicion began when a job to spy and report on the Lithuanian was offered to her mother by the Soviets. Having the mindset of disliking betrayal, Mother declined the job offer. Due to this occurrence, Lina received the knowledge that anyone could be a spy or work with the Soviets for a better living than what they currently have. Another piece of evidence was that Lina had never seen Andrius during the daytime when everyone else had to endure excruciating labor. Additionally, Andrius would stammer and hesitate when explaining to Lina the reason as to why he was never seen in her field. Other than that, Andrius would provide extra food

    Titus Andronicus Analysis

    Visuals and the Violated: Women in Julie Taymor’s Titus Up until the past few decades, Shakespeare’s Titus Andronicus was never taken seriously by critics or audiences. As a revenge tragedy set in ancient Rome, the story is one of never-ending, over the top violence, which viewers may find hard to sit through without rolling their eyes, or at least becoming entirely desensitized. When Julie Taymor created the film version of this text, Titus, in 1999, she attempted to utilize visual violence in a way that an audience can make sense of. Just as Shakespeare used allusions to literature to more convincingly build the world of his Roman Titus Andronicus, Taymor weaves Titus together as a pastiche of references to history and pop culture,…

However, not all movie depictions do the story justice. Homer’s Book Nine of The Odyssey recounts the adventures of the hero Odysseus while he is lost at sea.…

    In the book “Othello” Shakespeare often uses animal imagery to illustrate Iago’s manipulation and control over other characters. Three points that prove the use of animal imagery to prove Iago’s superiority over the others is how Iago refers to Othello as a “Black Ram”, how Iago also refers to Othello as a “Barbary horse” and how Iago’s frequent use of animal imagery has now lead the characters to use animal imagery towards themselves. Shakespeare uses the help of animals to portray each of their characters. He makes Iago use the animals as an insulting way towards them; to show how little everyone else is compared to him. Iago often uses animal imagery to describe the other characters at the beginning of the play that latter on in it, the characters start using animal imagery towards them.…
