Unquestionably, Lady Macbeth is portrayed as being in less control of many situations in the film “Scotland PA”, one such example being when Macbeth contemplates how to kill his next victim, Macduff. Macbeth nearly completely prevents Lady Macbeth from having knowledge of the plan to eventually try and kill Macduff, evident from the moment the witches update his prophecy in his restaurant. More specifically, on the night of their death in their own basement, Macbeth left his wife for the last time acting drunk, leading him to go on to make a split decision to attempt to fulfill the prophecy one last time. He continually reassured her with phrases that could be interpreted as “relax, I got this” and “I just want to make you happy” whenever she…

During the 15th and 16th century (the Elizabethan era) the fear going around was of witches.

This deeply angers the conservatives (West Witch), which alerts the media to attack (Glenda) them. The media, seeming to be the trustworthy one to the unsuspecting Americans (Dorothy, Munchkins, etc.), begins to spread blame in attempt to unveil corruption (Wizard, Witch) and sneakily take over by winning the opinions of the people. They speak of money being the road (Yellow Brick) to power (Oz). They twist and bend the truth in order to get what they want. So, in a crazy backward hole of symbolism and deeply hidden meanings, the moral of The Wizard of Oz is that the media is the biggest, meanest fake of them…
“What’s done is done.” Lady Macbeth (Shakespeare). In the play Macbeth, Lady Macbeth is considered more evil than any other character in the play. From the beginning to the end Lady Macbeth has been a prominent factor in the play’s story. Shakespeare wrote this story, not only to show how evil people can be, but also to show a different role that women play in life.…
For the purposes of the essay, I am going to be interpreting the term ‘villainous’ as the perception of Lady Macbeth and Mr Hyde as sinful and immoral characters by the Victorian and Jacobean audience. The concept of “Macbeth” played on ideas such as the divine right of Kings, the supernatural as well as the expected role of women in society. Whereas in "The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde”, Stevenson used the position of Hyde as a representation of Dr Jekyll’s disreputable desires as a way of demonstrating the Victorian compromise. Both authors have therefore left the readers with such questions: are repressed desires villainous or is Lady Macbeth perceived as more villainous by the Jacobean audience for she is a female?…

Even though The Wizard of Oz made its debut in 1939, critics today almost unanimously agree that it deserves its title of being one of the most influential films ever released. Audiences spanning across generations have celebrated its success for nearly eighty years, and Dorothy’s story continues to teach children valuable lessons regarding family and loyalty. Despite this long-lasting impact, The Wizard of Oz did not immediately gain fame upon release; in fact, only when it made its first appearance on television did it become iconic. When it was released in 1939, the film generated an insignificant revenue, hardly enough to cover the budget. Nonetheless, critics reviewed the movies mostly favorably, The Wizard of Oz won two Oscars for its…
