Macbeth is a tragedy set in Scotland. There are themes of supernatural powers, betrayal, murder and self-destruction in this play. It shows how Macbeth kills to become king and how Lady Macbeth’s passion and thrust for power drives him. In this assignment I intend to compare and contrast Roman Polanski’s film version and the BBC […]

I have studied the opening scene of Welles’ and Polanski’s videos and Shakespeare’s text in detail; through this, I have discovered that the two video versions are very different from each other’s. There are many features that I am going to consider when trying to decide the most dramatic film. Some of these include, colour, […]

Conventionally, feminism has little correlation with Shakespearean comedies; however, Claire McEachern attempts to address this topic with some degree of success in her article published in the Shakespeare Quarterly entitled “Fathering Herself: A Source Study of Shakespeare’s Feminism”.The author herself reveals the adversity face by feminists up against Shakespeare’s male-dominated world by admitting, “Certainly, in […]

This essay aims to compare two interpretations of Act 4 Scene 1 from Shakespeare’s ‘Macbeth’, analyzing how diverse directors interpret a written piece and apply distinct techniques to support their ideas. The two films, ‘Macbeth on the Estate’ by Penny Woolcock and Polanski’s version, will be examined, considering that they were produced in different eras: […]

Biohydrometallurgy is a mining application that utilizes biology to assist with metallurgy processes. The mineral chalcopyrite contains copper in its natural state, along with other elements. To obtain pure copper, a bacterium is used to create copper sulphate (CuSO4), which can then be chemically treated. This process of microbiological mining is utilized for low-grade ores […]

In Elizabethan times people paid great homage to the queen Elizabeth 1. During the 16th century there was great tension between parliament and the monarchy, and Elizabeth upset many Catholics, although she did restore peace in the country later on. Popular amusements included music and dancing. The most favoured instruments were the bagpipes, the fiddle, […]

Hypothesis:I predict that penguins huddle to keep warm. This is because when they are all grouped together, the head radiated by those not on the outside will be transferred to the ones next to them, and vice-versa, so almost all heat loss is prevented. The other is insulation. With the penguins all standing next to […]

An earlier introductory note to some basic principles of literary interpretation (“On Scholarship and Literary Interpretation”), stressed that literary interpretation or literary criticism is, in many ways, an anarchic conversational activity with the practical purpose of enriching our shared understanding of a particular text. The value of any particular interpretative observations, or of a methodology […]

Before we start to investigate the possibility of life beyond earth, we must first define life. The oxford English dictionary defines life as- “the condition that distinguishes animals and plants from inorganic matter, including the capacity for growth and functional activity”. So, life can be seen as a body of mass that has senses, can […]

Despite knowing that fossil fuels are finite and harmful to the environment when burned, we remain reluctant to give up our cars. However, the future of automobiles must change dramatically to embrace new propulsion technology. Although it is unlikely that the car will vanish as it has become deeply integrated into our society, electric cars […]

Mr. H stated that invasive alien species have caused immense harm to natural ecosystems and human economies for centuries. Additionally, the destruction is increasing due to globalization, which provides more opportunities for unwanted species to travel to new locations through expanding tourism and trade. Zedan, Executive Secretary of the CBD, referred to the 6th meeting […]

The purpose of my project is to determine if moss coverage prefers to grow on the North side of a Yew tree, a coniferous variety, or the North side of an Oak tree, a deciduous variety. To achieve this, I will conduct fieldwork in a woodland area and sample and collect data in the natural […]

Baz Luhrmann’s distinguished ability to produce outstanding films is attributed to his characteristic employment of uninterrupted camera motion, which involves employing close-up shots, zooming, and capturing slow-motion images. Baz Luhrmann, as a director, has evolved his own distinctive style by ingeniously merging emotion and poetry through his camera work and editing techniques. His increased confidence […]

Our research revealed that the common Bellis Perennis daisies thrived the most in the area with the most trampling, with an average of 48 daisies, despite our initial assumption that they would grow best in the least trampled area, which had an average of 36.8 daisies. Our prediction about the least number of daisies in […]

In my opinion, Roman Polanski’s version of Macbeth was disappointing due to the exclusion of original lines and depictions of killings that were contrary to Shakespeare’s intended vision. Conversely, the Royal Shakespeare Company produced a much better rendition by adhering strictly to the script. Polanski chose to emphasize sensationalism in his film, rather than exploring […]

Though there are well over seventy thousand true fungal species that inhabit this planet, very few of these cause diseases in humans, called mycoses. Many more fungal diseases are associated with various plants and other animals. Mycoses in humans can range from superficial infections to deep-seated systemic infections that are life threatening. The superficial mycoses […]

The Blowfly is any member of the insect family Calliphoridae (order Diptera). They are metallic blue, green, or black in colour and are noisy in flight, producing a distinctive buzzing sound. The blowflies are on average 8-10 mm in length, slightly larger than the more common housefly larvae. Among the blowfly family, the more important […]

Before watching any of the above versions I read the brief script for the first scene. From this piece of the script I would expect each of our extracts to fulfill the wishes of Shakespeare: set in ‘an open place’ and with ‘thunder and lightning.’ Yet these are the only stage directions so the production […]

Every cell in the body needs different proteins for specific functions. DNA determines the structure of the protein. If DNA or RNA changes the structure of the protein, used for a particular function, due to wrong transcription or translation of protein synthesis, mutations occur. These mutations can lead to genetics disorders or genetic diseases.Cystic Fibrosis […]

Viewing the elaborate exhibitions of ocean life and biodiversity was an enlightening and entertaining experience. These displays and the Imax film, Coral Reef Adventure, introduced me to the incredible diversity and crucial roles of some of the Earth’s ecosystems. These vivid installations enabled better understanding of the importance of preserving these ecosystems to sustain all […]

He ranks among the greatest playwrights who have ever lived and his plays continue to be exclusively performed by a dedicated company. What sets him apart as a writer is his belief that only through performance can a play be fully appreciated. This coursework will explore the […]
