Is Macbeth A Thoroughly Representative Character?
Words: 410 - Pages: 2.... that Macbeth himself conveyed. A person, always eager to gain endowment,
would jump at the chance to acquire that power as soon as possible, no matter
what they had to do. This is the situation Macbeth was in. He was seeking the
throne, and only wanted to find a faster way to obtain that authority, thus he
killed, lied, and cheated his way to that place of honor.
Readers may debate that Macbeth was indeed insane, thus leading the
reader to believe that he was not representative of a typical human. This is
true, yet any human can be insane, which further proves the validity that
Macbeth was a common individual. Perhaps dri .....

Character Comparison In A Midsummer Night's Dream And Dead Poet's Society
Words: 1653 - Pages: 7.... the movie "Dead Poet's Society" have similar traits as Shakespeare' s characters in the play "A Midsummer Night's Dream". This just shows how characters from two totally unrelated stories are similar.
Both Mr. Perry and Egeus want to have total control over their children's lives. Egeus and Mr. Perry made the most important choices their children would ever have, rather than letting them run their own lives. Egeus states that he has the right to make his daughter marry whomever he wants:
Full of vexation come I, with complaint/Against my daughter
Hermia. /Stand forth, Demtrious. My noble lord, /This man
hath my consent to marry her…Be i .....

The second reason for Macbeth’s downfall is because of the three witches. This is a better reason for his downfall than that of his wife because these witches knew exactly what to say to spark the fire in Macbeth. These witches stir up trouble throughout the whole play and aid to . Though, they are also not the main reason for his downfall because they warn Macbeth of his destruction, but he doesn’t listen to the .....

Shakespeare's Hamlet
Words: 583 - Pages: 3.... Fortinbras holds a position that Hamlet was destined for, yet Claudius intervened and took Hamlet’s rightful position. This fact may imply that Hamlet sees his father’s actions personified in Fortinbras. Although Hamlet seems to admire the dominance and will power that Fortinbras displays, he also criticizes him and his unattainable dream. “ The imminent death of twenty thousand men that for fantasy and trick of fame.” In this statement Hamlet is declaring that he thinks Fortinbras quest is meaningless and therefore deems it foolish. He is also compromising Fortinbras basic ability to reason. Throughout the play, Hamlets wishes t .....

L’Atalante & Breathless Response Paper
Words: 496 - Pages: 2.... was nicely done. I thought it was pretty advanced considering when the film was made. The first mate’s tattoos were cute. (Although they were seemingly shoddily drawn on with magic markers.) I appreciated the actors too. The were good at what they were supposed to do. Even though these few things made L’Atalante almost bearable, I didn’t especially like it.
Breathless, on the other hand, held my interest. There was a definite plot as well as plenty of action and romance. I also enjoyed it because I had the feeling that everything I would need to know about the characters was revealed from the beginning.
This film had a much m .....

Richard III: Impact On The Audience
Words: 576 - Pages: 3.... anyone who even tried to question him or was in his way to the throne. This included even the innocently helpless children who actually have the true right to the throne. This would make any audience hate the man, however, Shakespeare gives Richard a string with which to pull at the audience’s heart: his grotesque deformities and the effect they have on Richard and his life. Richard uses this string to his advantage during the first thirty-five lines of the play. How could anyone hate a man who pours the disappointments of his life out to them? Richard might be a great warrior and the main man during times of war, but during times .....

Hamlet: Power Vs Happiness
Words: 1047 - Pages: 4.... not sure.
Later on in this scene Claudius talks to Hamlet, Hamlet is very depressed,
Claudius gives hamlet some comforting and fatherly advice here trying to get him
out of his deep depression. But what is his true motivation here is he trying to
get hamlet as a backer for his new rain, so he is just lying and manipulating
hamlet, or dose he have true and deep feelings for Hamlet and is just trying to
help hamlet and was no self-interest in it. I feel right now that it a bit of
both I think he cares about hamlet but would also like him to support his rise
to power.
Next we come to act II, ii, hamlet has made many strange comments and

Macbeth: The Use Of The Classical Tragic Mold In Character Development
Words: 674 - Pages: 3.... Macbeth is Duncan's subject, Duncan is a good king,
they are blood-related, and Macbeth is his host. These reasons dissuade
Macbeth at first, but later Lady Macbeth convinces him, by questioning his
manhood, to commit the dastardly crime. When he finally murders Duncan, the

mold had begun: the descent into the abyss.
The "decent into the abyss" is the second step in the Classical

Cumberland. "The Prince of Cumberland! Th .....
