.... classroom. One really begins to understand math when taught by route memorization and physical punishment for incorrect answers. Anyone who has been "rapped on the knuckles" by a nun with a ruler can attest to this fact. The one thing that a student needs in life is structure. Without this, he or she cannot function in a school environment. When a bell rings, you must go to class. When a teacher assigns homework, you do it. No questions asked. No individual thought. The only marrow that should be sucked out of a students life is that of education. That, after all, is why they are in school. To learn and no other reason. In the end, it sho .....

.... Hales views on witchery. Another example of Hale's character and his savings of witches is when he said, “Now Tituba, I know that when we bind ourselves to Hell it is very hard to break with it. We are going to help you tear yourself free-� The point when Reverend Hale begins to change is in Act III during the trial of John Proctor. “I am a minister of the lord, and I dare not take a life without there be a proof so immaculate no slightest qualm of conscience may doubt it.� He starts to doubt if the very thing that he searches to rid the people of might be a lie. Let you not mistake your duty as I mistook my own...where .....

.... me; /Still questioned me the story of my life/From year to year- the battles sieges, fortunes/That I have passed.�(I, iii, 128-131) The numerous battles and the hardships of war wear a man down. The stresses of everyday things at work get to us but the stresses of battle must be and uncountable times worse. Othello seemed to be and was mentioned as a good leader with the respect of the Duke. The stresses of being a black man leading an army of white soldiers that might respect you as a leader but might not respect you as a human would affect you also. Othello seemed to handle the stresses of war just fine but with the jealo .....

.... with the witches, Macbeth and Banquo discuss what they have just seen. "(Macbeth)Your children shall be kings. (Banquo)You shall be king. (Macbeth)And thane of Cawdor, too" (I. iii, 86-88). Here we can see for ourselves that Macbeth has trusted the witches from word one and does not even think to question what they have told him. Not too much later, Macbeth discovers that the thane of Cawdor has been killed for crimes against Duncan and he is named thane of Cawdor. "Glamis, and thane of Cawdor! The greatest is behind!" (I. iii,116-117). This fulfillment of the first part of the witches prophecies seals his trust in them and dr .....

.... complete loss of reason, not sane, then Hamlet’s spoken thoughts alone prove him to be sane. By his own words, Hamlet is feigning, and it is that his pretend madness is never assumed except in the presence of the king or those whom he considers the king’s agents (Hankins 127). The train of events from the death of his father to the revelation of the ghost has profoundly disturbed Hamlet. He realizes it himself and fears that the excitement within him may betray his secret. He knows well that it is beyond his power to suppress it altogether, and so he pretends to be mad. Any slip of the tongue about his secrets will seem like the u .....

.... by King Hamlet; slain by sword during a man to man battle. "àour valiant Hamlet-for so this side of our known world esteem'd him-did slay this Fortinbras." This entitled King Hamlet to the land that was possessed by Fortinbras because it was written in a seal'd compact. Polonius was an advisor to the King, and father to Laertes and Ophelia. He was nosy and arrogant, and he did not trust his children. He was killed by Young Hamlet while he was eves dropping on a conversation between Hamlet and his mother. "How now! A rat? Dead, for a ducat, dead!" King Hamlet was the King of Denmark, and Hamlet's father. He had killed King Fort .....

.... of political change in its own right. In this vein, the first section of the paper is dedicated to this investigation. An examination of the motives behind revolution will be given in order to provide a framework for the second part of the paper, which will look at the involvement of the press during revolutionary times in more specific terms. The French revolution of 1789 will be used as a backdrop for this inquiry. There are many different types of political movements, and accordingly there are many different reasons for these movements to occur. Value-oriented and norm-oriented movements deal with matters of social and political con .....

.... he also confesses to being a witch. It was not easy for John to do that. Most people confess and sign away their lives to a lie. John does not see the point in it. He can not live a saint so why live at all? John dies with everyone knowing the truth about him. John says, “You have made your magic now, for now I do think I see some shred of goodness in John Proctor.� John rips up the confession he has just signed when he realizes that what he is doing is just going to make his family's lives worse. John decides not to confess because he does not want to ruin the Proctor name. He does not want to lose his reputation over som .....

.... in scene one states "Girl, you talk too much, and I'm afraid you're far too saucy for a lady's maid. You push in everywhere"(21). From the start it is apparent that Dorine is an outspoken character, and by doing this she is clearly putting herself out on a limb because she is dissimilar to the other women of her time. I believe that it is here that Moliere foreshadows the importance of Dorine's a character. Later on in the play she will play a crucial role in saving Mariane, her counterpart, from marrying Tartuffe, and ultimately saving Orgon's family by bringing about plans to reveal Tartuffe's manipulative and deceitful character. I .....
