...Comparative analysis: Hamlet and The Lion King Hamlet is a 1990 drama film based on a tragic play with the same name, written by William Shakespeare. On the other side The Lion King is an animated musical movie. Walt Disney Pictures released the movie in 1994. As the movie Hamlet, The Lion King was also influenced by Shakespeare’s play, Hamlet. Both the movies are about revenging the death of a cherished family member but in different ways. Since a long time the idea of revenge has existed in our human nature. It has been our instinct to take back for a person that has been hurt. Today we find that many literary works uses revenge as a theme for the plot but how it is shown depends from a character to another. Hamlet and The Lion King are two superb examples. In the castle of Elsinore in Denmark, prince Hamlet sees his father’s ghost. Through the ghost Hamlet learns that his own brother, Claudius, who wants the thrown to Denmark had murdered his father and married his dead brothers wife, the queen Gertrude. The spirit tells Hamlet to, “revenge his foul and most unnatural murder” (1.5.25 Shakespeare) and Hamlet obeys the spirit’s wishes. He then begins to seek more evidence on Claudius and his betrayal towards his brother. Hamlet enters into a deep melancholy and appears to be in madness, which makes Claudius and Gertrude worry about his erratic behavior. They employ Hamlet’s friends, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern to watch over him and to discover the cause of his...

...Metaphor Analysis The Sea and Dry Land In his Preface to the play, Bolt informs the reader his main metaphors are the sea and dry land, to suggest the supernatural order vs. the human order. The sea is formless, vast, and unpredictable. The land is security, home, order, what is known. Thomas More paradoxically clings to the safety of law and land but finds himself swept by his religious faith out to sea. Bolt did not want a purely naturalistic play, he says, and the metaphors are a way to add scope and philosophic depth, as in a poem. Thomas More is a home-loving man with his house and family in Chelsea and their well-ordered ways. In addition, he is a lawyer who believes in the law as the safeguard of the citizens: “The law is a causeway upon which, so long as he keeps to it, a citizen may walk safely” (Act Two, p. 153). At his trial, More says to the Court which has condemned him through a perjury, “God help the people whose Statesmen walk your road” (Act Two, p. 157). The government should create and safeguard well-kept roads for the people. There should be landmarks, agreement about the best way to go and how to get there. This is what makes a civilization, and More fervently believes in and lives according to the letter of the law. He believes himself safe, because he knows the law so well that he is sure his silence cannot be interpreted as treason. The Common Man, who provides narration and commentary, remarks in an early scene, “The great thing’s not to get...

... In 1933-1934 there was a Rastafarian movement. This movement was led by Haile Selassie I whose previous name was Rastafari Makonnen before he was crowned Emperor under the name of Haile Selassie I in October 1930. During this movement the Rastafarian take the bible as its sacred text, but interprets it in an Afro-centric because they want to reverse the changes that the “White” that made. The Rastafarian movement was closely linked to the ancient history of the Ethiopian civilization and largely based on the identification which Blacks have made with Ethiopia by virtue of biblical symbolism. In Ethiopia, Haile Selassie was given the title “Lion of the tribe of Judah ", which explains why there is a lion on the Rasta flag. He was also given the title “King of Kings and Lord of Lords ". Even though Haile Selassie I was seem as the leader of Rastafarianism but he is not a Rastafarian himself, he was a devout Christian. The Rastafarians respect him a lot; even when a group of Rasta’s...

...Dairy Products in Morocco An Industry Analysis Presented to Prepared by NOT TO BE COPIED AUTHOR: CAROLINE CLARKE Lion Pty Ltd Real Consulting Caroline Clarke (n6529798) 1. 2.1 Scope and purpose Purpose of this report Geographic market diversification is central to corporate strategies of successful global dairy players (Euromonitor, 2010a). The global dairy market will be driven by emerging regions that will account for up to 86% of global market growth in absolute retail value terms leading up to 2015 (Euromonitor, 2010a). Recent moves by leading dairy manufacturers show that successful strategies are focused on strengthening their positions and enhancing their production capacity, in particular emerging markets, in order to satisfy the rising demand for more industrially-processed dairy products in these regions (Euromonitor, 2010a). In light of these trends, this report explores the potential exporting or direct investment opportunities for Australian dairy products manufacturer Lion Dairy & Drinks Australia Pty Ltd (Lion) in Morocco, an emerging market in North Africa (See Appendix A for firm details). Diversifying into Morocco aligns with Lion’s vision to “be the leading and most trusted branded beverage & food company in our world” (Lion, 2011). The purpose of this report is to identify the comparative advantage Lion holds in the Australian market and evaluate if this can be maintained or recreated in the Moroccan...

...pretend that they are his friends. In the end the man kills the animals. In my analysis and interpretation I’ll be focussing on the use of genre and style of writing and at last I’ll talk about the message of the story. The genre is, as said before, a fable. It is a fable because Kenyatta uses animals to represent what he means. The animals are given human feelings and actions and on top of that they are able to speak and think as humans. He also uses sentences as “once upon a time” and “lived happily ever after”, which are typical fable sentences. It is an omniscient narrator seen from another point of view, which is already seen in the first line, where it says “Once upon a time an elephant made a friendship with a man.” In which none of the characters are described as I or we but described from another point of view. This is also a typical thing from a fable, because it often has a deeper meaning, and therefore everyone should be able to relate to it, which can be difficult when using personal characters. The animals are talking to each other with titles before their names, like; “No sooner had Mr Rhinoceros seen it than he came rushing in, only to find that Mr Elephant was already inside.. “ [7th paragraph line three]. This is a reference to the human world, where we use titles when speaking formally. Another reference to the world as we know is that the animals are ranked, where the lion is the king, then the elephants and so forth, which we know...

...Introduction There are many misconceptions people have (myself included) when the topic of Rastafarianism enters into the conversation. Most non-Rastafarians do not hold the religion in high regard, and consider it just an excuse to get high and listen to reggae music all day. Surprisingly, while growing up I witnessed more white suburban teens embracing Rastafarianism than I ever saw blacks of any age embracing it; even more confusing is the fact that Rastafarians are rumored to be anti-white. Talk about conflicting information. When you witness one thing but hear another, how do you determine the truth? Being guilty of said misconceptions myself, I set out on my quest to get to the truth. I felt that the best way to uncover the truth would be to speak to a real Rastafarian. I caught up with a gentleman by the name of Ras Kamau who agreed to answer a few questions on Rastafarian beliefs, history, as well as shed some light on a few of the myths and misconceptions that other people including myself have regarding his religion. Haile Selassie I The Rastafarian religion plants its roots in Africa, and is frequently associated with the underprivileged black population of Jamaica. The followers of Rastafari consider it to be more of a way of life, and not just a religion. Rastafarians consider themselves to be advocates of global issues and often speak out against social injustices such as inequality, oppression and poverty. The foundation of the Rastafarian religion is...
