.... In depth looking and observing The Merchant of Venice I have seen a small equivalency in the amount of comicness and tragedy in the play. I have come up with the conclusion that William Shakespeare was a great playwright and must have been an absolute genius to compose the great and wonderful things that he did. The Merchant of Venice is excellent in it's way of describing the characters. The emotion is spread out thoroughly like warm butter on hot toast. The tragedy in The Merchant of Venice is believable and almost true in a sense of my opinion in relating to greed, human desire, and most important let not forget, anguish. Through .....

.... In the first scene of the play during the brawl there is evidence of household involvement. During the entire scene the young men of both households are exchanging insults and foul language. At one point Old Capulet and his wife enter the vicinity of the brawl. This violent behaviour can also be seen in the older family members. At this point old Capulet says, “What noise is this, give me my long sword (I/i/73).� “My sword, I say! Old Montague has come and flourishes his blade in front of me (I/i/75).� The father is very forthright saying that he wishes to murder a Montague. His words demonstrate a cold hatred, .....

.... hemlines steadily began to rise. In 1925, the hemlines rose to an unprecedented high -- the bottom of the knee. They stayed there until almost 1929 when they finally plummeted back down to the lower calf. It may surprise you to learn that in the 1920's, a lot of clothing was still made at home or by tailors and dressmakers. The brand-name, ready-to-wear industry didn't really exist until the 1930's. Therefore, many women obtained patterns that would allow them to create their own clothing out of fabrics such as wool, silk, linen or cotton. There were also two important ethnic influences on the fabric and prints of the 1920s. One of tho .....

.... Ghetto. The Holocaust was a vast evil engine set whirling by racism and madness. Schindler outsmarted it, in his own little corner of the war, but he seems to have had no plan, to have improvised out of impulses that remained unclear even to himself. It begins with Schindler, a tall, strong man with an intimidating physical presence. He dresses expensively and frequents nightclubs, buying caviar and champagne for Nazi officers and their girls, and he likes to get his picture taken with the top brass. He wears a Nazi party emblem proudly in his buttonhole. He has impeccable black market contacts, and he's able to find nylons, cigarettes, bra .....

.... a friend to save the embarassment from his wife of him not getting paid. He asks his boss, Howard Wagner, "Howard, all I need is fifty dollars a week to set my table." (page 80) He is a very confused man that has had many let~downs in his older years. Willy was an interesting person. He worked for the same company for 34 years, and was fired when he asked for a raise. He was there when the recent owner, Howard Wagner, was born. He lays a guilt trip on Howard, talking about his father, and still Howard doesn't feel bad for him. Willy has traveled around the world for his company and was loved by everyone he met. He feels alone beca .....

.... a play within a play just adds more to the overall effect of the play, and makes the events seem more real and believable. Also by having the characters of the play watch a play, it makes them seem more real with characteristics like actual people instead of just actors. This however is not the only time that Shakespeare uses such a smart and original technique, although the second one is a little different than the first. At the end of the play one of the main characters, Horatio, begins to tell the story of to a group of soldiers. The audience can also be considered part of the group who he is talking to. This raises the question o .....

.... to skin her, poor rabbit.� She gone out in the woods all by herself to catch dinner. The man of the house expects dinner on the table when they get home. This is an example of a common communistic society. Through out the whole play, women are being accused of witchcraft. A man could have never been accused of witchcraft in those days. Men were the dominant gender. Tituba is a black servant who was spotted in the woods supposedly practicing witchcraft. She is blamed for the crime, probably because she is a servant of the lower class. But as the play goes on, a more classless society comes into effect. That is when the women of th .....

.... definitely a communistic super power, one head represents China, a communistic super power of that time as well, and the third head represents Vietnam. This was represented as a group of monolithic communists. Another myth present was "Peace with Honor". This was President Richard Nixon's slogan while negotiating with North Vietnam to withdraw their troops. As the war went on and we continued to lose more and more men, the American public wondered why we didn't just withdraw our men. The American public saw this war going nowhere. An explanation given as to why we were unable to withdraw our men was because we couldn't lose our hon .....

.... but fantastical" 1(Macbeth 1.3.152). Macbeth also says " If chance will have me king, why, chance may crown me Without my stir." 2(Macbeth 1.4.157-159) which means that maybe he does not have to murder the king to gain that title. Luck has been very generous to him and might continue and make him king. Macbeth's true evil thoughts about being king are first shown when he finds out that king Duncan has named his son Malcolm as Prince of Cumberland. He now shows his evil and his true feelings. " Stars, hide your fires; Let not night see my black and deep desires. The eye wink at the hand; yet let that .....

.... and son. Both of these characters experienced an epiphany, a point in their lives when they realized that things have changed for the worse. They both had hubris, and both suffered for it. Hence, my confusion. Can there be more than one hero in a Greek tragedy, or is there something that I am missing. A comparison of these two characters, in an attempt to clarify this perplexing idea has only caused a heightening to my bewilderment. Both were noble characters. , a princess and Creon, the King. Both had strong ideals and morals. felt that the laws of the Gods and family were paramount, and Creon felt that the welfare and safety o .....
