.... Juliet finds that her lover Romeo is dead Juliet kills herself. Maria does not kill herself but instead she puts her sadness into treating the two gangs with a gun. When Romeo finds Juliet supposedly dead he drinks poison to kill himself too. Chino killed Tony because Chino was in love with Maria but so was Tony. This is just one way that Romeo and Juliet differ from West Side Story. Another way the two stories differ is the wealth of the two families, or gangs. At the beginning of Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare describes the Montague's and the Capulet's houses. The size of the two houses shows how wealthy the families are. In West .....

.... of old Jerusalem, can be compared to the media of today. What better place to get the public informed about your reasons and purpose for attacks than the news. Albert gave a good definition of terrorist's objectives when he stated: "Terrorists try to exercise influence over targeted officials on nations through intimidation of the public and arousal of sympathy for the social and political causes they espouse. Without widespread publicity, terrorist acts can achieve neither of these effects" (Bandura, Albert qtd. In Nacos 1). Terrorists need the news media to get the publicity, and the media is a willing accomplice. The news me .....

.... the boundary and limits of fantasy and reality (being aware and in control of how and why we create fantasy in our lives). The most dominant theme is that of personal loss, and then prejudice & fantasy v. reality, respectively. Personal loss is something we all will deal with at some point, and probably several points, throughout our lives. Some may be “luckier� than others when it comes to the severity of such a loss, but the key to surviving it, is how we chose to deal with it. In losing his wife Mary, John Riley lost himself. He was obviously a great man in the time she was with him; “King of all Travellers�, the younge .....

.... it for the blatant sexist attitude it has toward women but closer examination of the play and the intricacies of its structure reveal that it is not merely a story of how men should 'put women in their place'. The play is, in fact, a comedy about an assertive woman coping with how she is expected to act in the society of the late sixteenth century and of how one must obey the unwritten rules of a society to be accepted in it. Although the play ends with her outwardly conforming to the norms of society, this is in action only, not in mind. Although she assumes the role of the obedient wife, inwardly she still retains her assertiveness. Mo .....

.... the beginning, is a man of valour, honour and nobility. By his loyal traits he helps maintain Scotland's stability. , on the outside, seems to be the fairest man in all Scotland, however we know better. Under the cloaking shadows of his skin, hides his one weakness - that is ambition. His wife knows of his ambition and stirs him to act on it. struggles with a choice; should he let the witches prophecies realise themself, or should he take steps to the achieve them. He knows that the latter choice will involve the murder of his virtuous king Duncan, but even this isn't enough to sway him as he, after urging form his wife, chooses the l .....

.... Claudius has created. His death closes the play, but only after he experiences and expresses illuminations about human life and death. Hamlet begins after Hamlet's father has died. This has casted an unwanted and heavy cloud upon Hamlet's soul. Throughout the play Hamlet learns that his father's death was no mistake, but it was Hamlet's uncle's plan to murder him. This, of course, throws a much larger burden on Hamlet's hands and the thirty year old prince becomes insane. Hamlet then seeks revenge. A revenge tragedy is a bloody, violent play dramatizing a detailed, bloodcurdling scheme to avenge some wickedness frequently the murder o .....

.... conversation remains about their love for each other and then they kiss. It seems as though after the kiss, Hamlet realizes what might be going on and asks where Polonius is. Hamlet then realizes that he is in the room and continues his charade of acting mad. I think that this interpretation is the best one because it reflects my view of this scene as well as what I think Shakespeare's intentions were. Another version was the with Lawrence Olivier. Compared with the other two, this version didn't quite seem as realistic. When Hamlet enters them room, it seems like he already knows what's going on, and that Polonius and the King are i .....

.... Is what Macbeth says when he learns none of woman born can harm him. Macbeth loses his feel good attitude when he learns the answer to his question about Banquo's descendants. "Horrible sight! Now I see 'tis true;/ For the blood- boltered Banquo smiles upon me/ And points at them for his" (4.1.136-138). In the end Macbeth believes in the prophecies to make his own fate. He was fighting Macduff successfully, even after Dirnam wood moved until he learned Macduff was not born of mortal woman. "Accursed be that tongue that tells me so,/ For it hath cowed my better part of man!/...I'll not fight with thee" (5.8.21-26)! Even though .....

.... and thoughts of multiple people, giving warnings and special messages. Nobody seems to pay attention to him. Anotherexample is illustrated by the way that Brutus seems to dominate his own actions, whatever he is thinking. Also, Antony declares war on Brutus, but not out of love for Caesar, but anger toward the conspirators. As these aspects are explained in further detail one will be sure of the fact that Brutus, without question, clearly dominates the play as a whole. Caesar warns numerous people of ensuing tragedies multiple times, and not once is he listened to. Calpurnia cries out terrified three times during the night, "Help ho .....

.... a carefree manner, even going so far as to play with a riddle ( " What is he that builds stronger ... carpenter" V,1,41-42). Shakespeare even went so far as to include his puns in this grave scene (V,1,120). Hamlet himself experiences a temporary lightening of mood from listening to the gravediggers' conversation. Their carefree treatment of death singing while digging graves, not to mention tossing skulls in the air) is a parallel to Hamlet's newfound attitude. After having committed himself to his cause in Act IV, he is no longer bothered by the paradox of good and evil, and (seemingly) is untroubled by his previous misgivings. .....
