King Lear

Some think that Cordelia was prideful, or even a fool in her response, but I believe she was simply being honest and true.
Another mistake that was made in the course of the play was by the Earl of Gloucester. After being tricked by his bastard son, Edmund, into believing that his other son, Edgar, was plotting to kill him, he put all his faith in Edmund, which would eventually lead to his demise. .....

intimate contact with the piece through tactile and kinesthetic action, so
that they thus may "get into it" more and begin to experience some of the
passion & feeling that I put into my work as it is thus conveyed to and
impressed upon them.
As a title theme for my year's work I have come up with "Multifaceted
Interactive Involvement With The Electro- Magnetic Spectrum." This
includes many different forms of radiation, light and waves. I am also
integrating sound to give an added flair. Some practical project examples
that I intend to carry through and actually construct can be found in ideas

Othello: Almost Perfect
Words: 649 - Pages: 3.... to his downfall, is his open and trusting nature. For this play to be classified as a tragedy, the hero must face opposition from an outside force, in this case it is the evil antagonist Iago. Othello is a professional soldier and preaches by the rules and codes of honor thoroughly. He believes that people are honest and genuine until he has proof that they are not. The theory on judging whether or not they are your friend or foe makes Othello an attractive figure and a generous friend. However, it also leaves him vulnerable and useless to certain people who are able to manipulate this flaw, like Iago. After witnessing Iagoβs exploi .....

The Fate Of King Oedipus
Words: 1185 - Pages: 5.... like Poseidon being the god of the sea. They
thought that if there was a tidal wave or a hurricane it was because
Poseidon was angry at them. This is the basis for my assumption that
Oedipus had no control over his fate.
First of all, when Oedipus is just a baby his father, King Laius of
Thebes, is told in an oracle that his own son will kill him. So, with the
agreement of his wife, Jocasta, the baby's feet are pinioned, and it's
given to a slave who is supposed to leave it to die on Mt. Cithaeron.
However, the slave feels sorry for the baby, and gives it to a fellow
shepherd from Corinth. The shepherd from Corinth presented the baby t .....

Feathery Friends Or Carnivorous Beasts?
Words: 1256 - Pages: 5.... Jill and Jimmy, his two young children who are terrified of the birds. This is a tightly knit family, who stick together in a time of crisis. Other characters in the story include Jim, Mr. Trigg, and Mrs. Trigg, who are indifferent about the actions of the birds. It is ironic because they thought the birds would bring no harm, but in reality, the birds kill all of them. Foreshadowing is used many times in this selection. When it is stated that the birds had been more restless than ever this fall of the year, it implies that something strange and unnatural is going on with the birds. Another example of foreshadowing in this selection is .....

Suffering In Shakespeare's Plays
Words: 1882 - Pages: 7.... his sanity is restored but he has suffered tremendously
in an emotional manner at the hands of Regan and Goneril. In Othello, Brabantio
goes through emotional suffering when he must succumb to his daughter's wishes.
Desdemona also goes through emotional suffering when she is accused by Othello
of cheating on him when he is convinced of this by Iago.
In The Tempest, the theme of purification through suffering can
clearly be seen. Prospero, in his long exile from Milan, has more than attoned
for whatever mistake he might have made while he ruled. Ferdinand must suffer
through Prospero's hardships and laborious tests before he can w .....

The Sea Dogs... Puppets In A Political War
Words: 1769 - Pages: 7.... another sea dog, but he didn't prove to be as successful (Cochran 32).
Another pirate during the Middle Ages was John Hawkins. He robbed the
Spaniards of slaves and riches (Cochran 26). Together these three men were
accountable for what would be worth millions and millions of dollars being
converted from Spanish hands to English.

Pirating was their main job. William Wood stated that, β...(Spaniards)

Othello: Iago As Satan
Words: 1005 - Pages: 4.... As readers, we know that this is completely untrue even from the beginning. In Act 1 Scene 3 Line 292, Desdemona says "I love him," and goes on demanding, "Let me go with him"3 ; she was talking about Othello and traveling with him to Cyprus.
"The Long Spoon" is an Irish folk tale that because of its Catholic roots has the devil included in it. "The Long Spoon" depicts the Devil as no less deceiving, but instead of leading a jilted lover to believe that two others are in love, he convinces a hearth-money collector that the two of them were going out for nothing more than to see, "which would have the best load at sunset."4 The Devil .....
