The Tempest: Calibans Instincts
Words: 753 - Pages: 3.... to Montaigne was of better character and persona than the so called civilized explorers because of its natural and uncorrupt state.
In The Tempest Shakespeare responds to Montaignes essay through the primeval character of Caliban. Caliban and his overwhelming animal instincts are Shakespeares response. From the beginning of the play Caliban is molded as a monster. The son of the evil witch Sycorax, Caliban is Prosporos¹ servant. It is not that Caliban is a monster as much as Caliban is simply animalistic. Once Caliban tried to rape Miranda, Prosporos¹ daughter, Prosporo lost hope of taming Caliban and started treating him more like th .....

Animal Farm: The Danger Of Ignorance
Words: 583 - Pages: 3.... In other words, because the animals were ignorant and could not
read, the pigs (government) were able to change the law whenever they
wanted to, and the animals did not even realize what was going on. This
basic idea of ignorance can be proven in the real world by simply looking
back at Hitler. Since the common in Germany was too ignorant to see past
Hitler's ideas, he easily became dictator of Germany.
Manipulation in government is shown when the animals were forced to
build the windmill. The pigs manipulated the animals into thinking that it
would be beneficial, when in reality it turned disastrous. This idea is
also incorpora .....

Macbeth: Theme Of Night Vs Day And Evilness
Words: 647 - Pages: 3.... is
starting to drift away. He looks at his hands and sees his guilt, the
blood.
The next example of evil at night is when the sleeplessness sets in
and Macbeth's guilt starts to get the best of him. He slowly starts going
mad because of his guilt and begins to worry. Macbeth tries to snap out of
it and act normal so that nobody will suspect anything, but he gets worse.
“Methought I heard a voice cry, ‘Sleep no more! Macbeth does murder sleep'”
(II.ii.35-36). Macbeth's sleeplessness means the more sleep he loses, the
more he is exposed to night, which is evil.
The witches play a key role in turning Macbeth into the paranoid,

Hamlet: Was Hamlet Insane
Words: 696 - Pages: 3.... he tells his friend Horatio that he is going to “feign madness” (internet, Hamlet, pg. 1), and that if Horatio notices any strange behavior it is because he is putting on an act. Another big factor that suggests that Hamlet is only pretending is that he only manifests his “madness” around certain characters. These characters would be Polonius, Claudius, Gertrude, Ophelia, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. His “madness” doesn’t come out around Horatio, Bernardo, Francisco, the players or the gravediggers. At one point Claudius himself admits that Hamlet’s “actions although strange, do not appear to stem from madness” .....

"All I Know Is What I Read In The Papers" - Will Rogers

from someone they are, or make them more of what they are".-Senator Norm
Atkins(1)
"An election is like a one day sale…the product (candidate) in a sale
(campaign) is only available a few hours on one day".(2)
The main goal one hopes to achieve by advertising something is to make
it marketable so people will purchase it. Since what a politician hopes to
ultimately do is persuade people to vote for, or buy, their political platform,
they would be foolish to not take advantage of the captive and passive audience
of the advertising mass media. Unfortunately .....

MacBeth
Words: 817 - Pages: 3.... and as a
result was murdered. But his murder wasn't really disheartening, because
the Thane of Cawdor, deserved his fate. He was leading a battle, in which
many lost their lives, for the sake of greed, and deserved to die because
of his flaw. Duncan was the King of England, and was murdered by MacBeth.
He was murdered, because in order for MacBeth to fulfill his plan and
become king, Duncan would have to die. Duncan's fatal flaw was that he was
too trusting. For example, he thought that none of his friends could
really be enemies. If Duncan was more careful about his safety at
MacBeth's castle, he may have had a chance to survive. But Dun .....

Macbeth: Influencial People
Words: 638 - Pages: 3.... he wants to know how he is to be named thane of Cawdor and king.
The second person to influence Macbeth is his wife, Lady Macbeth. I also think she plays a big role in influencing Macbeth to kill Duncan. I think this because in Act II Scene vii, Lady Macbeth explains to Macbeth the plan of murdering Duncan, and when she is through Macbeth says,” If we should fail?” (I, vii, 58) Lady Macbeth answers by saying,” We fail… but screw your courage to the sticking place and we’ll not fail.” (I, vii, 59-60) I think she is trying to give him confidence, telling him to be calm and everything will go just fine. Another reason I think s .....

The soldiers: Marcellous, Bernardo, and Francisco show their loyalty to by coming to him with there situation of seeing the ghost who looks like the dead king.

Hamlet: Human Nature
Words: 709 - Pages: 3.... the truth about his father’s planned murder he discovered that Ophelia’s father, Polonius was involved. In his outrage he ended the romance by saying:
I have heard of your paintings, well enough. God hath
given you one face, and you make yourselves another.
You jig and amble and you [lisp,] you nickname God’s
creatures and make your wantonness [your] ignorance.
I say we will have no more marriage. (3.1.142-149)
Knowing that Polonius was an accomplice in such a vicious act Hamlet did not want to betray his father by marrying into a sinful family. In agreement to this idea Hamlet also said, “Get thee to a nunn’ry, why wou .....

Macbeth: Lady MacBeth
Words: 599 - Pages: 3.... opportunity,
that if a child, being fed at her breast, where as Duncan is, king, she would
tear it from her and "dash'd the brains out" to have the opportunity MacBeth
does. This shows how mad and sadistic she was. She had absolutely no self-
conscience, and thought nothing about the wrong they were soon to commit.
Later on, after the murders, she, unlike MacBeth, still shows no signs
of a conscience. She is very cool and collected, while MacBeth hallucinates and
goes temporarily mad. Lady MacBeth on the other hand, takes everything calmly.
She takes the daggers back to the King's room, smears blood on the drunken
guards, and att .....
