entertainment

Who were Elizabeth Keckley, Mary Todd and Lydia Hamilton Smith and in what recent Oscar-winning film were they depicted by these women? Name the actresses as well.

Was the depiction accurate or one dimensional? Does it matter? Yes–in a way.

With regard to access to content–here a person’s life–we do indeed harken back to defamation and invasion of privacy. There is a right of publicity for famous people, but there is no “right to a life story.” If you set out to base your entertainment work on a real event or real person, there is always the spectre at the feast: a suit. if buy rights to a person to gain access, that person can contractually force you to fudge and cover warts, even lie or obfuscate. But in essence, all you are really doing is buying off a suit. Beyond that you can do what you wish…and if this person is dead or not, you have automatically made them, and they themselves, public figures. The burden then shifts off of you. You can now have them fondling something they barely knew in “real life,” saying things they actually didn’t say, create fictional characters (in The Butler’s film version, the producers Oprah Winfrey and Lee Daniels created a son and changed the butler’s name slightly). You can minimize or eliminate real people and then fictionalize them into your own creation–especially if they start squawking.

Look at these two primers on the subject:

Required response (briefly):

So why aren’t there more suits over this?

Confucian principles

Confucian principles

“If you had to choose between early Confucianism (that is, the sort of Confucianism found
in the Analects and the Mencius) and Philosophical Daoism (that is, the sort of Daoism
found in the Dao De Jing and the Zhuangzi) as a path in life, which would you choose and
why? What are the pros and cons of each, and why, in the end, is your choice better than
the alternative?”

Hamlet and Freud Intertwined

Hamlet and Freud Intertwined

“In this essay you will select a character(s) and analyze his or her (their) actions through following critical approaches: Psychological or gender/feminist. You will make a claim (thesis) about their actions and ultimate meaning to the play while providing evidence form the text and supporting academic research. The critical approach you select will guide your analysis and lead to a clear and cogent argument. A key part of your essay will be to explain the critical approach you select. Provide detailed definition and a historical background of your critical approach before beginning your analysis.”

I need to psychologically analyze Hamlet, Ophelia, and Gertrude in “Hamlet” by Shakespeare using factual research of Freud and psychoanalysis in literature. I need six total sources including Hamlet, the poem. I have already written one page over the psychoanalytic lens, so all I need is an essay psychologically analyzing the three characters. Evidence from scholarly articles about stages of grief, depression, traumatic experiences, loss of loved ones, and analysis of trauma to behavior is desired.

I have found sources and created a works cited page. Here are some, if you feel as if these are not good enough to construct at least a B paper, please feel free to find others.

I had an idea of incorporating greed into why Gertrude married Claudius so soon and why Claudius killed King Hamlet. Feel free to play around with different psychological analysis perspectives, but please ONLY analyze Hamlet (the son) Gertrude, and Claudius. The essay is MLA format (12 point font, Times New Roman, Double Spaced).

Thank you so much. You have no idea how much help this is. I am a high school student in a sophomore college class, and It has burned me out.
