Eve charmed Bill Simpson (Gary Merrill), directo .....

In doing this he kills his father of birth, and then he frees the people of Thebes from the plague of the Sphinx and inherits the throne. It is no surprise Oedipus didn’t go insane. I guess to the result of this he gouged his eyes out. He did so many good things for his people and when it came time to find the killer of King Lais he did everything .....

.... Nora is forced to deal with the problem of gender stereotyping, brought on by her husband's dominance in the household as well as male domination in society as a whole, which leads to her feministic decision at the end of the play.

Trinculo curses at Caliban wishing he would get a disease only cattle can contract. These statements and comparisons seek to reemphasize Caliban’s bestiality. Stephano even refers to Caliban as a monster who could make a man a fortune if taken to star in the freak shows of England. Caliban can be interpreted as the representation for the colored, “uncivilized� pe .....
