Abstract
The paper explains that Peter Shaffer's play ?Amadeus? offers a dramatic representation of a debate that has been waged for some time over the reason for the death of Mozart and the possible involvement of Salieri in that event. The author states Brian Friel?s ?Dancing At Lughnasa? is a memory play whose narrator, Michael, is reliving the summer of 1936 when he was a boy. The paper reviews two feminist plays by Caryl Churchill: ?Top Girls?, which shows her belief in a brand of feminism that is allied to socialism and ?Cloud 9?, which covers a long period of time to show ways in which society has changed and remained the same.
From the Paper
"Michael, a love child, lives with his Mother and her four sisters in Ballybeg, Ireland. His Aunt Rose is slightly retarded. This particular summer his uncle, the priest Father Jack, returns from his missionary work with lepers in Uganda and rejoins the family. He has been sent home in poor health, most probably because he has "gone native." His spirituality is now as African as it is Catholic, and even the English language is strange to him since he has been speaking Swahili all these years."

It covers details concerning what constitutes a crime scene and what types of evidence to look for. The paper also discusses the individuals involved in processing a crime scene and when or if there is a need for another jurisdiction to join the investigation.
From the Paper
"A police officer is usually notified by the law enforcement dispatch center when a crime has been reported. The time and subject of the call are recorded by the police officer, to include the name of the complainant and the nature of the complaint. In most cases, the police officer may also record the name of the dispatcher that contacted him/her concerning the call. Police officers responding to a call have to be very alert. Some things they need to watch for are where they are going, to make sure they respond to the correct location, any suspicious persons around the crime scene and to identify any potential witnessed. The police officer has to record his/her route to the scene and time of arrival. Police departments train their police officers to park away from the crime scene and teach them techniques to avoid destroying any evidence."

Abstract
This paper discusses the ways in which drama and painting can serve as interpretations or explanations of one another. The paper begins by introducing William Blake (1757 - 1827) and Henry Fuseli (1741 - 1825) as two chief illustrators of William Shakespeare's plays. It then describes some of the scenes from which the artists drew their inspiration using three major themes - the supernatural and the nightmare, the world of dreams and fantasy and the human condition and history.
Table of Contents:
Introduction
The Supernatural and the World of Nightmare
The Fairy World of Dreams and Fantasy
The Human Condition and History
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The painting encapsulates all the drama we can expect from a work by Fuseli. As a matter of fact, the artist did several versions of the scene, including book illustrations and a painting that was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1808. It is worth mentioning that the Cardinal's death was a popular subject for painters: Sir Joshua Reynolds, for instance, illustrated the same scene for the Boydell Shakespeare Gallery, and even Nicolas Poussin was inspired by that very passage. Fuseli introduces agitated figures in a very fluid composition, but there is a clear allusion to an earlier work, especially the way of gathering the figures around a central character, along with the arm pointed upward, paying homage to a drawing by Poussin, whom Fuseli admired a lot. The painting is a good example of the human condition, because it encapsulates various philosophical themes, such as life and death, guilt, suffering, and so forth."

An in-depth look at aspects of human cloning. The author outlines some major points about the ethics, myths and process of human cloning. Included is an examination of various cloning foundations, the history and development of cloning, legal issues and an analysis of the ethicality and moral issues around the topic.
From the Paper
"Cloning is one of the foremost thoughts on people?s minds today. A clone is a group of genetically identical cells. The term clone also refers to a group of organisms that are genetically identical. Today science can clone an entire plant or animal, not just a group of cells. The process of cloning humans is currently being deemed unethical, but there are some in the scientific community that are in favor of this experimentation. A clone would look identical to its predecessor. All of the genes in the clone would also be the same but the application of these genes may be different. The clone would not have the same personality or mentality of his or her predecessor. Identical twins are clones of each other but they develop into two different people and are not considered to be the same. A person?s clone would grow up differently and not be subjected to the exact same environment as it?s predecessor, therefore so they may not be the same person except for in looks and genes. "

The Final Scenes of "Blade Runner "and "Brave New World", 2002.

Abstract
This paper explores and compares the multiferous interpretations of two movies "Blade Runner" (1982) and "Brave New World" (1994). The paper shows how the contexts of the two movies are markedly different -"Blade Runner" exists in a context in which there is a growing support for libertarianism, influencing the increase in environmentalism, both of which detect the intended environmental and anti? authoritarian didactic of the texts, while "Brave New World" creates an aberration of the original intent, complicated by the mutating religious values of society.
From the Paper
"The final scene of Brave New World disseminates Huxley?s opinion that the suppression of human nature will ultimately lead to one?s demise, a message which is especially prominent to the libertarians. Libertarian is a term to describe those who revile the concept of suppression and as such a message of freedom would be interpreted. The suppression of one?s human nature creates a spiral of depression which will result in the obliteration of oneself. The savage attempted to suppress his feelings for Lenina, yet ultimately failed in his attempt. The savage had been taught, conditioned by his society that lust as with ?every evil inclination has to place itself under such great restraint, don so many masks, lay itself so often on the procrustean bed of virtue? (Nietzsche), his feelings for Lenina were perceived to be evil, being contrary to the teachings of, in this case, the bible. The contradiction of his feelings and his teachings led to confusion as to the correct course of action, confusion which led to the complete suppression of emotions. The suppression of his emotions resulted in a decent into a self? destructive spiral, beginning with the use of self? punishment as a source of redemption, an act which brought him great pleasure, developing masochist instincts. The savage ultimately commits suicide, hanging himself in the tower, unable to repress his desires. The tower is a symbol of the self? destructive spiral, the concentric circles of the tower leading to the death of The savage. The suppression of human desires ultimately leads to one?s demise as one enters a self? destructive spiral, until one destructs. Within Blade Runner there is an overt condemnation of oppression and suppression within the conclusion."

Abstract
The paper discusses why Act two Scene one of Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream" is a very important scene. In it all the major and minor themes of the play as a whole can be found, through a detailed analysis of the characters, their speech and the imagery the scene contains. Among other things, jealousy, the supernatural/natural world and love in all its different forms are explored in this essay. The paper contains a thorough analysis of the characters, imagery and ideas all contained within the scene, which can be applied to to the rest of the play as a whole.
From the Paper
"Cupid?s ?fiery shaft? renders the idea/theme of love as a fiery, passionate and heated affliction, that literally pierces the heart in a shower of flames. This idea foretells the lovesick hysteria that is soon to enfold the young Athenians, and can especially be seen in Helen as she traipses after the desperate Demetrius. The ?shaft? itself is contrasted with the description of the moon, which is ?chaste? and ?watery?, a hazy image in comparison to Cupid?s blazing arrow. The sing-song alliteration mirrors the maiden?s carefree state, in which she carries on unscathed by Cupid?s plan. The notion of love as an infliction (albeit a desirable infliction) is stressed once more by Oberon?s description of the ?love-in-idleness? as ?a little western flower? which has been turned ?purple with love's wound?."

Abstract
The paper analyzes the different contrasts found in the play. The paper focuses on the way the men in the play view a murder scene compared to how the women view the same scene. An analysis of the different behavior of the men and women is given. The paper shows how the real motive to the murder is discovered through the women's sensitivities. The play is compared to the old Greek myth of the "Three Fates".
From the Paper
"The one-act play ?Trifles,? written by Susan Glaspell in 1916, is a play of contrasts. The early and later life of one woman, Minnie Foster Wright, husband of the dead man John Wright, are compared. The lives of the women visiting the crime scene with the sheriff and attorney are contrasted with the life of the woman jailed for her husband?s murder. Even Minnie?s quilting pieces are contrasted, with some stitched more competently than the last one. The most obvious comparison, though, looks at how the men view the scene versus what the women see."

Abstract
This paper deals with Shakespeare's "The Taming of the Shrew" and looks at how Shakespeare uses blocking figures and complication as devices to set the scene and move the plot forward.
From the Paper
"Upon reading three of Shakespeare?s works, I have decided to analyze the first scene found in the first act of ?The Taming of the Shrew.? I chose to analyze this scene because of the fact that I found all of the characters in this play to be complex and above all, interesting. I also found the plot to be Shakespeare?s best; as it encompasses many themes such as blocking figures and complication found in common life situations regarding the somewhat tumultuous pursuit of love and happiness."

Abstract
This is an analysis of the play "Hamlet" by William Shakespeare. Special attention is paid to the scene where the real murderer of the king is divulged. The author explains how this is a pivotal scene as it solves the mystery that has been building up until that point.
From the paper:
"Act III, Scene II is important for a number of reasons. Essentially, it is the start of the second half of the play. It could be argued that the first half of the play is when Hamlet sets up his strategy to avenge his father?s death. Naturally, the second half would then be Hamlet taking the vengeance he so baldy wants. Unfortunately for nearly all parties involved, it does not happen how he planned. In Act III Scene II, Claudius? guilt as well as his moral values had been exposed for all to see. Hamlet?s underhanded slyness was also revealed by his non-confrontational means of proving the king?s role in the murder of his father. Lastly, the reader also discovers the queen?s apparent innocence."
