Hypocrite. It is a word that has been around since the beginning of time. Wars, death, and suffering of great magnitude resulted from the misuse of this word. However, does one know how to use it in the very context of the word? And how to identify a person with the characteristics of hypocrisy?Webster's Dictionary defines a hypocrite as:"[The] Pretense of virtue, benevolence, or religion"Although, the dictionary's definition is not as clear as one would like it; understanding the word is palpable. Virtually, hypocrite, means someone that makes a façade of his or her righteousness, his or her character or his or her religion. Usually, the word is used toward one's belief or politics

Character Analysis of Hugo's JavertHugo's character Javert sees anyone who may have commit a crime as simple as the theft of a loaf of bread as a social malefactor, a blight on all of society, a prime evil who needs to be eliminated, removed from the general population, and a devil that can be neither reformed nor tamed. Javert is the true rationalist. Like Medieval philosophers, he believes that people will naturally resort to evil, and that these people can never be saved or reformed. Javert is the true rationalist because he believes the law is the highest authority, sees Jean Valjean as purely evil, and because he wholeheartedly believes in the infallibility of the law.Javert believes

It's the first time in my life I felt that a writer was speaking to me directly: not just to my mind, but to some unnamed, unspoken voice deep within my soul. What a wonderful feeling! Walsh's book captured my interest because he offers a different interpretation of God's message from that contained in the Bible, Torah and other formal religious writings. As a lapsed Catholic, I've been searching for spiritual direction, but hadn't found any meaningful answers from formal religion. Walsh answers many of the "big

The main reason I feel that he has great sympathy for the poor is because in many of his books, such as Oliver Twist, and The Christmas Carol, he always made the poor people a tremendous part of the story. In the novel Oliver Twist, the main character was poor and belonged to an orphanage. The majority of the book included poor people, but some rich.

Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho has been commended for forming the archetypical basis of all horror films that followed its 1960 release. The mass appeal that Psycho has maintained for over three decades can undoubtedly be attributed to its universality. In Psycho, Hitchcock allows the audience to become a subjective character within the plot to enhance the film's psychological effects for an audience that is forced to recognise its own neurosis and psychological inadequacies as it is compelled to identify, for varying lengths of time, with the contrasting personalities of the film's main characters. Hitchcock conveys an intensifying theme in Psycho, that bases itself on the unending subconscious

A main difference between the way that the play and the film deal with location is that Shakespeare created his play to be performed in the 16th century theatre and was written to be heard as an auditory experience. Luhrmann's film, on the other hand, was created in 1996 and is primarily and image-intensive medium that can visually show the audience the locale. Shakespeare's audience referred to 'going to hear a play', rather than to see it; emphasising that Elizabethan theatre
