.... Duke's heart. In act 1, scene 4, Viola let's out her true feelings for Cesario, "yet a barful strife! Whoe'er I woo, myself would be his wife (1)." That statement becomes true when Viola reveals her true identity. Viola and Orsino had a very good friendship, and making the switch to husband and wife was easy. Viola was caught up in another true love scenario, only this time she was on the receiving end, and things didn't work out so smoothly. During her attempts to court Olivia for Orsino, Olivia grew to love Cesario. Viola was now caught in a terrible situation and there was only one way out, but that would jeopardize her chances w .....

.... the witches and learns he will become king he begins to plot and think murderously. When he arrived at a plot to kill Duncan, and told Lady Macbeth, he realized it was the only way. However, in doing this he made a lot of people suspicious. This meant that more people would have to be killed, and this included the king's son who was next in line for the throne. At this point Macbeth experiences the first of a number of breakdowns, and he begins to lose his human characteristics. Macbeth begins to fall into a murderous rage after killing Duncan. He thought this would clear his name, but it only made things worse. Each person he has kille .....

.... obligation to kill Claudius and to do so without delay. The question is then why does he wait so long to do so. It is argued that if Hamlet had taken prompt action, Gertrude, Polonius, Ophelia, Rosencrantz, Guildenstern, Laertes, and Hamlet himself may have survived. A reason must then be drawn from one's own interpretations of Hamlet. Following two renound interpretations of Hamlet, two major conclusions can be made. First, Shakespeare's tragedy is a work of surpassing interest and genius, and the tragic hero is universally attractive and fascinating. Second, only the naive will start with the assumption that there is one obvious in .....

.... Black, brown, red, purple yellow or whatever color the person is, they will always be discriminated against. Not just because they are not the same color as white people but also because they are different. People complain about all the violence on the television and the sexual activity on television, but they are missing the point that kids need to learn about all races for them not to grow up and be discriminatory towards people who are different. Poniewozik also says that, minorities are best represented on workplace dramas (ER, NYPD Blue), but sitcoms, which focus more on family and society, tend to be colorless, color blind or a .....

.... mention. It is not a bird of spring, nor does it have a beautiful song. It is an omen of death and evil. Ravens are frequent fixtures in gothic literature. The owl is discussed by the old man who talks to Ross the day after Duncan was killed. The death of Duncan is a perverted act, just as the death of the falcon is considered unnatural. "'Tis unatural/Even like the deed that's done. On Tuesday last a falcon, towering in her pride of place,/was by amousing owl hawked at and killed." The owl is a bird that typically symbolizes wisdom but in this case the mousing owl has killed a larger predator--a falcon. The mousing owl has usurpe .....

.... that perfection only lasts for a little time. He writes, “When I consider every thing that grows holds in perfection but a little moment…� (lines 1 –2). He compares men to plants and says that they display themselves at the height of their perfection and then are slowly forgotten. In other words life is like a flower that blooms. It bursts out with beauty and then time and decay cause it to slowly wither away to old age and death. In the last couplet of the sonnet, Shakespeare gives his friend a way to win the war with time and decay and implant his beauty again. The way offers this is to be featured in his poetry. Wha .....

.... the Thane of Cawdor and king. Soon after he was told these prophesies he already becomes eager to learn more; his eagerness is shown when he tells the witches, "Stay you imperfect speakers, tell me more" (Act.1,Sc.3,Ln.70). Later in the same scene Ross, a Scottish noble, presents Macbeth with the title Thane of Cawdor and here he realized that the prophesies are true. The veracity of these prophesies disturb Macbeth because at this point he is already filled with the notion of being king and murder as the way of attaining that title. Macbeth even asks himself; "why do I yield to that suggestion, whose horrid image doth unfix my hair a .....

.... emotions getting the better of him can be seen when he is reminiscing his father's death. Hamlet says, "...How stand I then,/That have father killed, a mother stained,...2". He is asking himself what kind of a person he is if he can allow his father to be murdered and his mother to be married so soon after his father's death to his uncle. This shows us that he is pitying himself and is putting himself down. Yet another example of his emotions running wild are seen in his first soliloquy: ...She married. O, most wicked speed, to post with such dexterity to incestuous sheets! It is not, nor it cannot come to .....

.... when Gloucester is talking with Kent about his bastard son, Edmund. He does not seem to be able to understand how what he is saying affects Edmund. Gloucester tells Kent that he has an older son, “by order of law� (legitimate), and then he jokes about how Edmund “came saucily to the world before he was sent for.� When watching the play, the viewer sees Edmund’s reaction to his father’s description, and he definitely does not look happy. Even though Gloucester knows his two sons, he believes the worst of Edgar, and what Edmund says, all too easily. I would think that Gloucester would have had some previous experience wit .....

.... heard in the play it helps describes Cordelia as a person aware of her conscience. Here she is deciding what she is going to say to her father when he has asked his daughters to profess their love for him and in return receive his land. Just shortly after Cordelia is heard again, “I am sure my love’s / More ponderous than my tongue,� asking herself again what she is going to say. This helps prove the first point of her self-conscience, by Cordelia wondering what she is going to say to her father. This quote also points out her real love for her father, unlike her two other sisters that exaggerate their love for the reason of rec .....
