.... "Achilles" is a typical Iconic Abstract Expressionist work. Most Abstract Expressionist paintings have, to a certain extent, the same characteristics: The paintings are usually rather large; they are an expression of thought through the use of gestural or "action" painting; they are commonly painted with strange objects; they are usually filled with vibrant, shocking colours and many other things not normally! associated with other "classical" forms of art - these artists are trying to paint raw emotion, not pretty pictures. The painters who came to be known as "Abstract Expressionists" shared a similar outlook rather than a style - a .....

.... wanted to make gains politically and economically. Great Britain primarily wanted resources that weren’t found in Europe. Gold and diamond mines were all over South Africa, and Great Britain knew that if they had possession of them that their economy would profit greatly. Also, South Africa had many strategic points for ports to be built. Ships traveling to India and Asia could stop at these ports. It was a perfect place for British ships because it was like a mid-point between the two places in which it was traveling. Ships could also replenish supplies such as food, clothes, men, etc. The British occupation of the land sparked a .....

.... Chinese opera, and by the time of the Three Kingdoms (AD 220-280) clay puppets were used to enact plays. These evolved into glove-and-stick puppets in later years. T’ang period. The emperor Hsuan-tsung showed interest in the performing arts, stimulating many advances in stage arts during the T'ang dynasty(618-907). More than a thousand pupils were enrolled in music, dance, and acting schools.

.... A power was taking over him, his own flaw from evil, brought about by the weird sisters. "Stars, hide your fires, Let not the light see my black and deep desires." (Act 1 Scene 4). Macbeth's flaw is highly influenced by his wife, Lady Macbeth, who has wicked thoughts, and persuades Macbeth into many actions he would not normally do. "Only look up clear: To alter favour ever is to fear. Leave all the rest to me" (Act 1 Scene 5) shows her strength over Macbeth. As Macbeth prepares to kill Duncan, he hallucinates, and many thoughts cross his mind, but when the bell sounds, "Hear it not, Duncan, for it is a knell That summons thee to h .....

.... Elizabeth) would have realised this. The one affected by illusion the most is undoubtedly Lear. Lear's high position in society meant he should be able to distinguish the good from the bad; his lack of sight prevented him to do so. Lear's first act of blindness comes at the beginning of the play. First he was easily deceived by Goneril and Regan's flattery brought on by him saying Which of you shall we say doth love us most, That we our largest bounty may extend (King Lear I.I.51-52) This vast reward he offers in return for the confession of love is bound to induce an exaggerated version of feelings to maximise the reward, as Goneril say .....

.... true, Hamlet would kill Claudius the moment he has the chance, if not the moment he knows for sure that Claudius is guilty of murdering his father. Why does Hamlet hesitate? One must call into question what Hamlet holds to be true. If Hamlet’s given motivation for killing the king is legitimate, then Claudius should die at about Act 3. Because Hamlet’s actions do not correspond with his given reasoning, one is forced to look for an alternate explanation for Hamlet’s behavior. In doing so, one will come to the conclusion that Hamlet is driven by forces other than what is obvious to the reader, as well as Hamlet himself. Given this e .....

.... power. One other thing that had to be a motive for Hamlet actions, was that all the people around him stopped mourning the king’s death and started celebrating the marriage between his mother and Claudius. And including that it seemed to be happier with her new partner than with Hamlet’s father. When it came down to love life, the whole idea he had of acting crazy affected Ophelia. Therefore obliterating the love he had shown her before during the peaceful times. And his action would later drive Ophelia to kill herself. Although the previous announced made a big impact on Hamlet’s decisions, none were as big impacting than the .....

.... the nave to the chaps, And fix'd his head upon our battlements" (Act 1, Scene 2:line22, 23) Macbeth was not a bad man at first he was a very noble ally to Duncan. When Macbeth he saw the Three Witches everything changed. They told him things he wanted to here and he believed them. He told Lady Macbeth what the witches said. She taught him and ridiculed him to be evil. He listened to her and that is when the trouble started. The first ignoble killing by Macbeth was the killing of what was supposed to be his friend Duncan. Macbeth killed Duncan to become king. "And only thy blade and dudgeon gouts of blood … It is the bloody business .....

.... no feeling of remorse (Wallace). After Hamlet kills Polonius he will not tell anyone where the body is. Instead, he assumes his ironic state, which others perceive as madness. "Not where he eats, but where ‘a is eaten. A certain convocation of political worms a e'en at him." (Act IV, scene III, lines 20-21) Hamlet's behavior throughout the play, especially towards Ophelia, is inconsistent. He jumps into Ophelia's grave, and fights with Laertes in her grave. During the fight with Laertes in Ophelia's grave, Hamlet professed how much he loved her when he said, "Forty thousand brothers could not, with all their quantity of love, make up m .....

.... town. For example when Abigail drank the blood, people thought that she was a witch so they would accuse her of being a witch. The townspeople accused people of being a witch mostly because of this reason. Another big reason that someone would be a witch is that they did not like that person or they were just scared of them. Sometimes if you saw someone walking and they looked funny or just doing something bad you can say that they are a witch. You could of also said that someone was a witch if they were not praying at all. Then if you were accused of being a witch and did not want to be one, you can just say that you were made to .....
