.... that she loves him “according to my bond.� (1.1.102) Cordelia means that her love for her father is based upon the law of nature and involves the clearest recognition of her filial obligations. It is this very law which Lear himself depends on when he expects to be revered and obeyed both as a king and as a father by all his daughters. Shakespeare demonstrate this idea when he points out that at a later point in the play, after Lear was treated horribly by Goneril, Lear express his conviction that Regan, unlike Goneril, knows better “The offices of nature, bond of childhood.� (2.4.202) It is ironic that here Lear uses the exact same .....

.... when Biff was in high school he was the star of the football team. One afternoon he stole a football from the locker room. When Willy became cognizant of Biff's actions, Wily did not punish Biff. Instead, he told Biff that the coach was likely to congratulate Biff for his show of initiative (29, 30). Similarly, at another point in the play Biff and Happy stole lumber from a nearby construction site. Instead of teaching the boys a lesson in ethics Willy was proud of his sons. In fact, he bragged about the amount of construction materials the two stole (50, 51). Willy allowed the boys to steal, which could be considered an immoral act, w .....

.... in her rocking chair. Mr. Hale asked her if he could see Mr. Wright. She replied that he was lying upstairs, dead, with a rope around his neck. Mr. Hale didn’t know how to react to her statement, so he just asked her who had killed him. Mrs. Wright said she didn’t know. Thinking that he may need help, Mr. Hale called in Harry from outside and they both went upstairs. After seeing Mr. Wight dead, Harry went down the road and called the sheriff. Mrs. Wright just kept rocking in her chair. So, the attorney’s murder investigation continued, with Mr. Hale and the sheriff following. They first snooped around the kitchen for evidence, .....

.... thinking. I hope I can write again very soon. I want you to know that I am in good health. I feel this is a good opportunity to tell the tale of our great victory over the Thane of Cawdor and evil MacDonwald. Things were looking very horrible, it seemed like all my troops had perished. Our brave general MacBeth came from nowhere to the center of the battle and slayed MacDonwald like the dragon he truly is. MacBeth took a spear and forced MacDonwald's head onto it and rejuvenated our troops while striking fear into the hearts of the enemy, Before the smoke cleared another blaze had started. The king of Norway and Cawdor initiated .....

.... adds a little twist to this and professes that she loves Lear more than her sisters and that Goneril's affection for her father "comes too short." (I.i.71) By uttering these words, Regan shows that her love is even less true than that of her sister's. She goes even farther to say: "...that I profess Myself an enemy to all other joys Which the most precious square of sense possesses, And find I am alone felicitate In your dear highness' love." I.i.71-75 This goes to show that she is more greedy than her sister and her words are also falser. She wants .....

.... I hold it fit that we shake hands and part_ [Act I, scene V, lines 127-134]. It seems as if there are two Hamlets in the play, one that is sensitive and an ideal prince, and the insane barbaric Hamlet who from an outburst of passion and rage slays Polonius with no feeling of remorse, Thou wretched, rash, intruding fool, farewell! / I took thee for thy better. Take thy fortune;/ Thou find'st to be too busy is some danger.- [Act III. scene IV, lines 31-33] and then talks about lugging his guts into another room. After Hamlet kills Polonius he will not tell anyone where the body is. Instead he assumes his ironic matter which others take .....

.... a specific culture. This is where most of the cultural boundaries lie. To one person, a smiling monkey can instill a primal feeling of fear, while to another the first reaction is one of amusement. This difference in reaction is based upon religious upbringing, and nothing more. To certain culture, a smiling monkey is the scariest thing they could ever imagine, and to another, it means laughter. A close minded person viewing an ancient religious mask would see nothing more than nonsense, while one who wishes to understand art would see the beauty of that culture and it's beliefs, and would try to place themselves in a way so that they m .....

.... All is not well; I doubt some foul play� (1287), he said. Hamlet feels that the presence of the ghost indicates that his father died due to dubious circumstance. After talking with his father's ghost, in the 3rd Soliloquy Hamlet is angered by the news that Claudius had murdered his father. Hamlet assures that he will think of nothing but revenge. “I'll wipe away all trivial fond records...and thy commandment all alone shall live within the book and volume of my brain� (1296), he proclaims. In Hamlet's fourth soliloquy, his mental state shows signs of declination. He castigates himself for not taking action to avenge his father .....

.... him killing his father and marrying his mother. Situation after situation, Oedipus lets his human nature take over. He kept stubborn in the search for the truth about his birth even though everyone around him advised him not to continue. Because he thought he was justified in his search, he continued and found nothing but disaster. Both the plays Oedipus and Oedipus at Colonus describe what happens to us individuals when we let our human nature take over and blind us. In the final play "Antigone", the tragic hero is King Creon. In the previous plays, King Creon seemed like a reasonable man who would listen to other people's advice (unli .....

.... the reader to become aware of the severity of Abbys ruthlessness. Her loathing of Mrs. Procter goes to such great lengths that she would go beyond the point of extremities. An example of her demonic acts, is when she mutilates her stomach with a sewing needle and claims it to be Elizabeth Procters voodoo spell. "and struck two inches in the flesh of her belly, he draw a needle outshe testify it were your familiar spirit pushed it in." (Miller 71). From this, it can be conceived that she would disastrously knock down any obstacle to get what she wanted. Another character who brings greed upon themselves is the Reverend Parris. He uses his h .....
