His two daughters Goneril and Regan deceive him by using sappy and excessive declarations of their love for their father. Cordelia sincere

A man lost all of his money in all of his investments after winning the lottery. That’s the one coincidence people don’t expect because they believe once you gain wealth you can not lose it. The man decided that he had a chance in earning even more money so he took it and lost. Greed is an unnecessary risk to earn more than one could possibly need. All throughout history, people have taken chances with greed such as using cursed artifacts such as Mr. White and the monkey’s paw in the story,”The Monkey’s

The Villains of King Lear “A villain must be a thing of power, handled with delicacy and grace. He must be wicked enough to excite our aversion, strong enough to arouse our fear, human enough to awaken some transient gleam of sympathy. We must triumph in his downfall, yet not barbarously nor with contempt, and the close of his career must be in harmony with all its previous development.” -Agnes Repplier What makes a villain a villain? Some people might say that it is maniacal laughter and a

King Lear and Gloucester both blame divine powers, out of pride, when things do not go the way that they want them to, instead of taking responsibility, and it leads to them losing everything. Once they have lost everything, they start to “see” things more clearly and end up earning some redemption before they die. First, King Lear’s pride in the first play, and refusal to accept blame, culminate in terrible consequences later in the play. His hamartia becomes evident very early on in the play. When

man, John Merrick, who lived in the Victorian Era with many physical disabilities. When portraying Merrick in the movie adaptation, the actor would have lots of makeup on to match the descriptions of him. In the play's adaptation of this story, the actor would not have any makeup or special effects, but would instead have a natural appearance, and contort their body in ways that portrayed Merrick's physical challenges. Based on the short excerpt read, the movie's version of showcasing John Merrick's

Summary: Louis Armstrong singing is remarkable. I can understand why he inspired so many people in the music industry. What I love about this album is his singing and his form in trumpet playing. Listening to Armstrong voice, as well as his lyrics, flushes away my sorrow when I listen to What a Wonderful World and Sittin’ in the Sun. These types of songs help me appreciate what I have. Armstrong duet with Bing Cosby is adorable. Gone Fishin’ song has humor, in addition, both man scats singing makes

The sun, the sand, the water, the bikinis, and the hot guys." "Agh!" Gilinsky looked genuinely hurt, "The only hot guys you should be focused on there are me and Jack." I literally laughed, "Like that's

Everything was going great on our way home our two week long mission. Lucy and I were up front, talking side by side about the new addition of Sorcerer Magazine while Natsu and Gray walked behind us. They were bickering once more about something that I didn 't bother to pay any attention to. And Happy was most likely walking besides them. Happy wasn 't to happy with me at the moment, as I had stepped on his tail by accident while trying to help out Natsu take down a monster. No matter how many
