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 paper presents a comparison of female victimization in two of Shakespeare's most renowned plays, "Hamlet" and "The Winter's Tale". By presenting a detailed description of Ophelia and Hermione's dying scenes, a thorough analysis of their characters is obtained, and the role of women in general in Shakespeare's plays is given extensive thought.
From the Paper
"The main difference between Hermione's death scene and Ophelia's is the sheer publicity of Hermione's situation, as opposed to the total seclusion and privacy with which Ophelia's death occurred. If in the first scene we find Ophelia alone, singing, reveling in the silence (also portrayed by the still water) and slowly fading out of life, Hermione's scene communicates the exact opposite. A queen unrightfully reduced to a prisoner, Hermione finds herself amidst officers, guards and lords, all of whom will be exposed to a private issue between her and her husband."

Abstract
This paper examines Act II, Scene 1 of "Othello" in an attempt to shed some light on the character of Desdemona. The paper analyzes her character and discusses her motives for marrying Othello as well as whether she is really the weak, clinging vine sort of woman of her time that most people assume. The paper also questions whether she is as naive as is assumed and what is the true nature of her marriage to Othello.
From the Paper
"If Desdemona is truly color-blind, having married the moor, Othello, then Iago, with his allusions to "white" and "black" subtly reminds her of the difference. From the very beginning of the scene, when Cassio, as a gesture of courtesy and respect, kisses Desdemona, and she does not resist (even though it is obviously a chaste kiss), Iago has his flashpoint for his cunning ploy to unsettle his commander, and to break that marriage apart."

Shakespeare's "Measure for Measure", 2006.
An analysis of William Shakespeare's play, "Measure for Measure".

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses and analyzes Shakespeare's play, "Measure for Measure", focusing primarily on Act V, Scene I. The paper explains that this play uses the theme of a duke disguising himself as a commoner and going among the people to find out what they really felt about his rule, as a ploy to bring out the truth about the characters of those surrounding the Duke. The paper also explains that Shakespeare adds a twist to the theme when he has the Duke portray a Friar or Holy man who is able to hear confessions and speak to the dying and the condemned.
From the Paper
"We notice that Angelo is more harsh with an individual who was legally betrothed to a woman, got her pregnant and did not marry her than he was with the prostitutes. He did his best to put prostitutes out of business, but no where in the play did it mention Angelo had either them or their "johns" beheaded. Some of this discrepancy is the result of class prejudice. The upper classes had assets and titles. Out of wedlock children were not only and embarrassment but often could contest for both the assets and titles of their deceased father if he had no legitimate male offspring. The lower working classes often had children out of wedlock. Since little or no property was involved, the law turned its head."

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."

Shakespeare's "Hamlet", 2005.
This paper discusses that in Shakespeare's "Hamlet", the character Ophelia is the most innocent victim of Hamlet's revenge.

Abstract
This paper explains that, in Shakespeare's "Hamlet", Hamlet and Ophelia's relationship is a complex one, forming and developing as results of death, love, obedience and an Oedipus complex. The author points out that there are many similarities between Ophelia and Gertrude; Hamlet's love and sudden dependence on Ophelia may be an attempt to get closer to his mother as a result of the Oedipus complex. The paper concludes that, even in death, Ophelia has a large part in Hamlet's life because Hamlet's death was ultimately caused by Ophelia's death when the graveyard scene, in which Hamlet proclamation, "I loved Ophelia", leads to his fatal duel with Laertes.
From the Paper
""One fair daughter and no more,/The which he loved passing well," Hamlet sings at Polonius, mocking his supposed love for his daughter. Hamlet also calls him "Jephthah, judge of Israel." As told in Judges 11, Jephthah promises God that if he wins in battle he will sacrifice whatever comes out of the doors of his house when he returns. After he wins the battle, his only daughter hears of his victory and comes out to meet him. He keeps his promise to God. Hamlet's implication is that Polonius, like Jephthah, will sacrifice Ophelia for his own advantage."

Shakespeare's "A Midsummer's Night Dream", 2007.
This paper compares and contrasts Shakespear's original version of "A Midsummer's Night Dream" with the film version.
990 words (approx. 4.0 pages), 2 sources, MLA, $ 35.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses how both the film and the original version of William Shakespeare's romantic comedy "A Midsummer's Night Dream" use the same words to tell a tale of temporarily thwarted young love. Yet, there are many differences the paper illustrates. The paper explains that because the film uses visual images to illustrate the words of the Shakespearean play and makes use of selective cutting to emphasize certain scenes over others, the film offers a more selective view of dreams and dreaming as opposed to the play that is viewed in its complete and uncut form.
From the Paper
"The nature of cinema allows the director of "A Midsummer's Night Dream" to make the fairies, such as Titania, Oberon, and Puck seem much more fantastical in contrast to the earth-bound mortals. The fairies float; strange, beautiful lights surround them. Yet in this rendition, they lose some of the earthier, humorous, and more interesting mortal qualities in contrast to the warring fairy characters in the play."

Abstract
The paper explores how several factors (society, state and family) create insurmountable obstacles for the love of Romeo and Juliet. The focus is on a particular scene (act 3 scene 1), which the author feels is a turning point, or a point of no return for Romeo and Juliet.
From the Paper
"From the start, the audience knows that Romeo and Juliet are star-crossed lovers, doomed to be separated by fate. Even so, there are many moments of hope where it seems like they just might be able to overcome all the difficulties they face. Act 3 scene 1 seems to crush this hope and seal the fate of the lovers. This scene is a turning point in the play where the influence of social institutions directs the tragic fate of Romeo and Juliet by creating insurmountable obstacles for their love. Their fate becomes inescapable when in this scene Romeo and Juliet?s society, state and family create the circumstances that keep the lovers from being together."

"Romeo and Juliet" Act 3 Scene 1, 2003.

Abstract
This paper examines how Act 3 Scene 1 is a key scene in William Shakespeare's play "Romeo and Juliet". It discusses how it represents the climax of a love story and the beginning of a tragedy and how the scene shows the consequences of hatred or feud and what can happen if things go too far. It also looks at the dramatic effectiveness this scene has on the audience, both contemporary and in Shakespeare?s time.
From the Paper
"Act 3 scene 1 has a lot of contrast because of its variety of language and style. For instance, it changes from blank verse, to prose to blank and rhyming verse. It?s language and style changes to indicate the mood of the scene as well as it?s development. In Act 2 scene 6 and Act 3 scene 2 Shakespeare uses blank verses to draw attention to a change in a speaker?s mindset, to move from serious to lighter subject matter or vice versa, to emphasize the differences between social classes but in Act 3 scene 1 it is important that Shakespeare uses less verse because this an active scene. Prose is used a lot in this scene. In fact almost half the scene uses prose and this is appropriate because in Act 3 scene 1 there are a lot of speeches in which the characters speak about their state of mind and prose signal insanity."

Sad Scenes in "Aenid", 2002.
Analyzes three of the saddest scenes in Vergil's poem "Aeneid" and show how ancient readers might not have viewed these scenes as particularly sad.

Abstract
It will be argued that the three saddest scenes in the poem are Aeneas' tale of the death of Priam, the abandonment and suicide of Did and the defeat and death of Turnus. However, it must be acknowledged that this choice is determined by our modern context. As will be shown, within the cultural and political climate that created this work, these scenes may not have all been regarded as sad.

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
This paper presents processes and techniques used during crime scene investigations, as well as the processing of the crime scene. 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."

The Local Music Scene, 2006.
This paper is an ethnography of a local music scene.

Abstract
This paper is original ethnographic research, which describes the music scene in Houston and relates it to sociological theories. The author points out that, by focusing on the similarities between people and their values and cultural expressions, a consensus theorist would find much to discuss when analyzing the urban dance club scene; however, interactionist theory applies even more readily to the club scene than consensus theory because of the more intense focus on small group populations and because the patrons of a club gather together for basically the same purpose. The paper relates that postmodernists are able to analyze club culture by studying the impact that diversity and globalization have had on the global spread of musical styles, the blurred distinction between media-informed images of youth behavior and the value system shared by club goers.
Table of Contents:

From the Paper
"Hip-hop is itself subdivided into numerous genres, each with its own flavor, style, and mood. At dance clubs like Crome, hip-hop tunes retain the warm, fun vibe of rap music while pumping out more regular beat patterns than some of the more soulful or underground artists use. Moreover, modern hip-hop is often infused with world beat samples, derived from Middle Eastern or Eastern European scales that add a distinct sound. When a live MC is in the house, the hip-hop comes alive, hearkening back to the heyday of the genre as a coalescing of looped samples, turntable mixing, scratching, and MC-ing."

"As digital data is easily destroyed, the main concern is to safeguard the integrity of evidence. Simply turning on a computer could cause irreparable harm as particular files have a date/time stamp that updates when the system boots up. The date/time he user last turned on the computer, a potentially, vital bit of information could be lost. (Ibid) Universal training to counter practices that could destroy evidence would help insure that evidence police officers and crime scene investigators collect will make it to court."
