The Postmodern Shakespeare
A 10 page analysis of the validity of the opinions of philosopher Stanley Cavell regarding Shakespeare's five greatest tragedies -- Hamlet, Othello, King Lear, Macbeth, and Antony and Cleopatra. The paper concludes that Cavell's insights, contained in his book Discovering Knowledge in Six Plays of Shakespeare, can be appropriately applied to Shakespeare, because Shakespeare's mindset was very similar to that experienced by many people in the late twentieth century -- as well as aberrant for the early seventeenth. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Comparing the Uses of the Supernatural in Shakespeare's Comedies and Tragedies
This 7 page report discusses the ways in which in much of Shakespeare's work, the supernatural -- in the form of ghosts, fairies, strange creatures, and unnatural weather phenomena -- exist as much as a character in the play as any of the flesh and blood characters. In several of Shakespeare's other works, the function of the supernatural is a more subtle occurrence but one that has an even more profound impact on the plays' characters and the outcomes of events. This paper looks at the different applications in Shakespeare's romances compared to tragedies. Plays discussed are: "Macbeth," "Antony and Cleopatra," "The Winter's Tale," and "The Tempest." No secondary sources.

Fate and the Individual in Sophocles, Shakespeare, and Miller
A five page paper looking at "Oedipus the King", "Macbeth", and "Death of a Salesman" in terms of the way they pit the individual against forces he cannot control. The paper asserts that over time, Western civilization moved from a definition of tragedy as something set in motion by outside agents -- such as fate -- and catalyzed by the protagonist's tragic flaw, to a situation where the tragedy arises almost entirely out of the flawed protagonist himself.

Keys to Shakespearean Conflict
(10 pp) In any tragedy, it is tension or conflict which keeps the play moving. Modern jargon would call it "spin" and "counterspin." In this discussion we will compare the sources of conflict in two plays, Othello and Macbeth. Iago and Lady Macbeth are our major obessives, the first prompted by frustration with being passed over in military command, and the second with a compulsive need for power and title.

Dark Keys to Shakespearean Conflict
(10 pp) In any tragedy, it is tension or conflict which keeps the play moving. Modern jargon would call it "spin" and "counterspin." In this discussion we will compare the sources of conflict in two plays, Othello and Macbeth. Iago and Lady Macbeth are our major obsessives,the first prompted by an apparent frustration with being passed over in military command, yet disguising a darker personal agenda, and the second, Lady Macbeth with a compulsive need for power and title.

Tragedy and the Tragic Hero
A five page work comparing Sophocles' Oedipus, Homer's Odysseus, and Shakespeare's Macbeth as tragic heroes, and the works in which they serve as protagonist ("Oedipus Rex," the "Odyssey," and "Macbeth") as tragedies. The paper concludes that Odysseus is not a tragic hero at all, because his problems do not arise from a doomed conflict between external forces and his own tragic flaw; while that is, indeed, the case with both Oedipus and Macbeth.

Fate versus Free Will in Literature

The paper concludes that although some characters defy fate and some accept it, in each of these cases the protagonist makes a choice about how he or she will behave, and thus he or she exercises free will. Bibliography lists two sources.

Arthur Miller's "Death of a Salesman"
This 10 page report discusses Arthur Miller's 1949 dramatic classic "Death of a Salesman." The play is clearly a tragedy but its format of tragedy must be extended to consider other implications than dramatic formula. Because it tells the story of a man of the 20th century does not make it any less "tragic" than the stories of "Macbeth" or "Antigone." In fact, because it is a modern tragedy it has a great degree of meaning for modern audiences than those of ancient Greece or 16th century England. Miller's Willy Loman is basically an "average" guy. And like all of Miller's characters, Willy and his family, are vulnerable and vaguely pathetic people who find themselves led astray by the false values imposed on them by society. For more than half a century, "Death of a Salesman" (debuting in 1949) has allowed Miller to repeatedly make the point that Willy Loman cannot and should not be blamed for who he is or how he has evolved. It is the social and emotional structure of the world Willy inhabits that has defined him and lead him on his path of hopelessness. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

Destiny's Hand
There are many instances in life where it may feel as though destiny has leaned down and taken a hand. It is sometimes a small thing, however, it can - and often is - life changing. This 5 page paper asserts that in Shakespeare's Macbeth, the witches are a life changing influence upon Macbeth. In the movie, Chinatown, the character of Noah Cross shapes the destiny of Jake Gittes and in The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, Tom Doniphon steps in to change the future of Rause Stoddard.

Technology In Film
7 pages in length. Technology plays a significant role in virtually every nuance of contemporary society; however, one might not necessarily associate such technological advancement with the film industry. Even as far back as early twentieth century, the rumblings of technology were present - albeit ever so slightly in some cases - that ultimately set precedent for bigger, more grandiose technological progression to follow. Such films as the 1948 version of MacBeth, Saboteur (1942), 1950's Sunset Boulevard, And Then There Were None from 1945, School for Scandal (1930), and 1957's Oedipus Rex exemplify the extent to which movie technology has held an important place in film history.
