Macbeth: A Shakespearean Tragic Hero
Words: 495 - Pages: 2.... be King of Scotland. As the play progresses, Macbeth slowly relies
on the witches prophecies. Shakespeare uses the witches as a remedy for
Macbeth's curiosity which corrupts his character.
The influence of Macbeth's wife, Lady Macbeth also contributed to his
degeneration of character. Lady Macbeth's character in the beginning
reveals that she is a lovable person. When Lady Macbeth was ready to kill
King Duncan herself, it showed that Lady Macbeth could not murder King
Duncan because he reminded her of her father. This proves that Lady
Macbeth has a heart deep inside her. Lady Macbeth plays an important role
in this play bec .....

Julius Caesar: Brutus Is A Honorable Man

these motives be weak, break off betimes, and every men hence to his idle
bed; So let high sighted tyranny rage on, till each man drop by lottery"
(Shakespeare 399). Brutus said that if the conspirators do not join for a
common cause, then there is no need for an oath because the conspirators
are self-righteous, and they are serving the romans. If the conspirators
don't bind together, then each man will go his own way, become a weakling,
and die when it suits the tyrants caprice. Brutus is advocates peace,
freedom and liberty, for all romans, which shows that Brutus is an
altruistic as well as an honorable man.

Hamlet: An Review And Summary
Words: 778 - Pages: 3.... with during the entire play experience tragic losses and deaths.
The play begins outside, on a very cold, foggy, dark night. The guards are watching the castle for fear that it may be attacked. This is to set the perfect mood for the tragedy that is about to unfold later in the story. Also, with lines like “Who’s there?” and “I am sick at heart”, the audience is already, in the first scene, given an indication that something is wrong.
The balance in Hamlet occurs when Hamlet shows grievance for his father’s death and Claudius and Gertrude talk to him about it and about their marriage. Hamlet cannot believe that less th .....

Shakespeare's The Comedy Of Errors
Words: 382 - Pages: 2.... the scenarios made the action even more comic. The idea of
the plot, although not completely original is still unique and is still used in
modern work, such as the TV sitcoms like "Sister, Sister." Something that
surprised me in the play was Adriana's character. She was insecure and
portrayed the typical damsel in distress. She was completely dependent on her
husband and this fact alone made the play somewhat out of date. Shakespeare is
said to be "not of an age, but for all times," but Adriana's character, in my
opinion, would not fit in to the modern world. I feel the most important part
of the play is the message it conveys and .....

nothing to them and is perceived with fear and apprehension, ³It harrows
me with fear and wonder². It is not until the appearance of Hamlet that
the ghost speaks, and only then after Horatio has expressed his fears
about Hamlet following it, ³What if it tempt you toward the flood, my lord,
or to the dreadful summit of the cliff².
The conversation between the ghost and Hamlet serves as a catalyst
for Hamlet¹s later actions and provides insight into Hamlet¹s character.
The information the ghost reveals incites Hamlet into action against a
situation he was already uncom .....

The only thing the prophecies did was, boost Macbeth’s ambition to be king and to control the future. When the witches told Macbeth all these good things, Macbeth felt as if he could not be beaten. He felt as if every thing was going like he wanted it to. That is until he hears the apparitions.
The influence of Lady Macbeth also contributed to the fall of Macbeth’s character. Lady Macbeth's character in the beginning reveals that she is a lovable person. We find out later that in actuality Lady Macbeth was ready to kill King Duncan herself. But be .....

Human Flaws Of Orgon In Tartuffee

Elmire. From this accusation Orgon replies to Damis: "I disinherit you; an empty
purse / Is all you'll get from me - except my curse!" (III, vii , 68). Madame
Pernelle shows the family trait that she shares with her son when she states:
"He's a fine man, and should be listened to."(I, i ,44), while speaking of
Tartuffe. Although they share this trait throughout the play, Orgon's eyes are
finally opened at the end of the play while his mother is still held by the
farce of Tartuffe.
Although Tartuffe is portrayed as the main character of the play, Orgon is
the character who should really be paid attentio .....

jealous because of this and Abigail, a few other girls, and a servant from the
Caribbean named Tituba dance around in a order that they believe it will kill
Proctor's wife. Rev. Parris, Abigail's uncle, sees this and reports it. When
Abigail is questioned about this, she denies everything and doesn't tell the
truth about what really happened. The news of her and the other girl's strange
actions gets around and the hysteria starts. Without Abigail's superstition,
and her fear or telling the truth, I think the events in The Crucible wouldn't

under our modern laws. It was every Greek's duty to harm his/her enemies, and
as far as Oedipus knew, King Laius was an enemy.
Queen Jocasta wasn't exactly guiltless, either. The great Queen had also
tried with King Laius to kill their son, and had no respect for the prophecies
of Apollo: "A prophet? Listen to me and learn some peace of mind: no skill in
the world, nothing human can penetrate the future." She was also the other half
of a mother-son marriage. Greek law considered the act, not the motive -
meaning that even though she nor Oedipus knew they were related, they commi .....
