Although composed centuries apart‚ both Shakespeare’s Macbeth and Ridley Scott’s Gladiator explore the similar idea of ambition‚ through their villainous characters Macbeth and Commodus. Macbeth composed in 1606 for King James delineates a noble soldier’s character transformation from an ambitious individual to corrupted tyrant as supernatural Witches and Lady Macbeth ignite his desire for power. Similarly‚ Gladiator’s vicious antagonist is a malevolent personage‚ whose desire to be loved transforms

Most often when a book or a poem gets made into a movie‚ there are many similarities and differences amongst the two. This was no exception for the epic poem Beowulf‚ translated by Seamus Heaney‚ and the 2007 animated motion picture “Beowulf.” It became evident rather early on in the film that the directors had interpreted the poem far differently than what it was made out to be when it was originally written. In the opening scene‚ King Hrothgar is illustrated as fat and slobbishly; almost like a

The timeless tale of Romeo and Juliet has been told again and again; the similarities and differences between the films are endless. Two movies were made based on the classic love story‚ Romeo and Juliet. The first movie was made in 1968 and the second was a much more modern remake of the classic tale which was made in 1996. These movies told the romance in similar‚ but still in different ways. Both movies can be easily compared and differentiated because they were both alike and different at different

I have recently watched a movie called High Noon and just read a short story called "The Most Dangerous Game." High Noon came out in theaters in 1952 and is about a Marshall who has four criminals who want revenge on him for putting one of them in jail. It has cowboys and gun fights in the Old West. "The Most Dangerous Game" came out in 1924 and is about hunting and the main character surviving all by himself. Both of these stories are very well told and partly have suspense. They might have a lot

muffled still‚ Should without eyes see pathways to his will!” (at act 1 scene 1 line 174) is deleted. With the deletion of these lines‚ the audience‚ is not privy to his longing for Rosaline. Even though Friar Lawrence mentions Rosaline later in the movie‚ we are not shown Romeo as a boy whose heart is easily captured‚ but rather‚ ready to be caught. In Luhrmann’s version of Romeo † Juliet‚ this scene‚ even though cut in some ways‚ is shown with Romeo writing in his diary. He talks of his love‚ but

Block 4 16 May 2013 The life of a Gladiator could be compared to the life of a modern day professional athlete. Gladiators lived a lavish life much greater than the lower class of Ancient Rome. With food‚ medicine‚ and baths all at the tip of their fingers‚ they were to use all their energy and focus to fight against each other. These fighters were primarily used for inhumane entertainment. Many Gladiators were slaves‚ criminals‚ and some free men. Gladiators were first used for funeral ceremonies

was one of the largest arenas with a stage in the center. Each and every person had a perfect view of the battles between gladiators and animals. The gladiatorial games were the highlight of the average roman’s day. Theese bloody battles were sometimes tests of the convenience of new and unusual weapons. If the gladiator performed well and the emperor approved‚ the gladiator would live. If not‚ he would be sentenced to death. This all has to happen with water of course‚ they couldn’t survive

Like the book‚ the film conveys a heavy theme of morality and family. The motif throughout the movie is bad children are punished while good children earn the coveted rewards. In this case‚ an entire chocolate factory. The film explores the effects of unscrupulous behavior and the gains of selflessness‚ kindness‚ and being family centered. The

Gladiators were “created by the enactment of Roman justice and Roman authority” (Futrell 121). Thus‚ the lifestyle of the gladiator quite possibly originated from prisoners of war. During the second Sicilian slave war‚ the last standing survivors surrendered themselves to Aquilius who then took them to Rome where he “consigned them to fight with wild beasts” (Diodorus Historical Library 36.10). From there on‚ gladiators largely comprised of criminals‚ prisoners‚ slaves and other members of lower
