.... fights. His jokes were probably taken lightly be his friends Romeo and Benvolio because they were accustomed to hearing Mercutio's voice constantly. Mercutio should not have tried to tease Tybalt because of the rivalry between Tybalt's family and Romeo's family. While avenging Mercutio, Romeo should have thought about the consequences of slaying Tybalt. On one hand he filled the urge to kill the man who had killed his friend. On the other hand he killed his wife's cousin. How can one justify killing a member of their wife's family? Another consequence he should have taken into consideration was the punishment he was going to receive f .....

.... splashed across the glossy magazines. His views about everything under the sun, from the government to kitchen furniture, would probably appear regularly in the colour supplements. His face would be familiar on television talk shows, his voice well-known from radio broadcasts. There would be so much recorded evidence about his life and his opinions that it would not be hard to write about him. Shakespeare, however, lived some four hundred years ago in the reign of Queen Elizabeth I, when there was no tele-vision or radio, nor even any newspapers as we know them today. Although he was respected as an important person in his own lifetime .....

.... hips rather than the waist. A wide belt with a heavy buckle was added. The light weight ski-pants of the 50's gradually gave way to flares, bell bottoms, and loon pants, bright colors, novel materials, chunky rings, and sports cars were all part of the 60's look. In the early 60's, the teenagers world was suddenly hit by the rock- n- roll of phenomenon of the Beatles. Teens idoled rock stars and let their hair grow long and wore bright, wild colored clothes. Leather offered great opportunities for self - expression. The clothes were influenced by stage performers. The 60's was a reflection of the power of Jimi Hendrix, the Beatles, and .....

.... on only half the mask, to show only half the truth. In the Shakespearean play that we study in grade eleven English titled Macbeth, wicked and evil witches deceive their victim, Macbeth, by equivocating his prophecies. As a result of this new "half-true" knowledge, Macbeth makes rash decisions that lead him to paranoia, grief, and his downfall. The first set of prophecies the witches reveal to Macbeth, in act 1, scene 3, was that Macbeth is to become thane of Glamis, thane of Cawdor and that he shall be king. They also said "Thou shalt get kings, though thou be none." Macbeth was shocked when the first two prophecies c .....

.... and myself and you at once.� (59-61) From the first, we can tell that Oepidus’ remorse is sincere. He is not consumed in his own misery, on the contrary he is more concerned with the impact on his people. Long before we come into the story, Oepidus “sent Menoeceus’ son Creon, Jocasta’s brother, to Apollo, to his Pythian temple, so that he might learn there by what act or word [Oedipus] could save [his] city.� (60-73) Upon returning, Creon brings with him encouraging news that saving Thebes is a simple task of finding and driving out Laius’ murderer or murderers. At once Oedipus begins this task with these words to his peopl .....

.... to mock his mother for her lack of grief for his father, her dead husband. At this point in the speech, Hamlet may merely mean that his grief for his father is genuine, but “passeth show� may also mean that he has some sort of feeling that can’t be shown by “the trappings and suits of woe� --his black clothing and cloudy face. These feelings that may very well be hidden from his own conscious are - what I believe - a truth to his indecisiveness on anything he attempts. Indecision in a man, or woman, for that matter, is a strong symbol of his/her lack of perception. Hamlet says that the King is “My father’s brother, but no .....

.... and heretical, and was not tolerated. Hence, when Abigail Williams and her friends are caught practicing witchcraft in the woods, their actions are seen as acts of the devil, and unfortunately are not forgotten. Strange things started occurring within the village and witchcraft is deemed culpable. This galvanized quite a disturbance in the village and the girls start making accusations about who is practicing witchcraft. The girls claim in court that they have all been witnesses to these terrible acts and can see the devil inside individuals. The culpability of these devilish occurrences fluctuate drastically and the girls conclude .....

.... much she loves her father, Cordelia replies that she loves him according to her bond, no more nor less . This response angers Lear and causes him to ban her for her refusal to comply. Lear is held to the belief that she does not love him. He believes that the daughter which had loved him the most (and who he loved the most) has broken his heart. He is suspicious and bans her because he thinks that she is the only daughter who doesn't love him. It is Lear's rashness which prevents him from seeing that she is speaking the truth. It is the same rashness which leads him to believe that Goneril and Regan are being truthful. Kent believes t .....

.... death, and has lead him to kill Tybalt in revenge. In Act 3, Scene 1 of Romeo and Juliet, Romeo is seen to be upset at Mercutio's death and predicts that the “days black fate on more days doth depend.� (III, I, 118) Tybalt then re-enters and Romeo becomes more upset that Tybalt is triumphant with Mercutio being dead (III, I, 121). As Romeo becomes overwhelmed with Mercutio's death and Tybalt's joy over it, he suddenly declares that either he or Tybalt must die with Mercutio (III, I, 128). Tybalt responds predictably and threatens Romeo (III, I, 129). Romeo takes the threat, then fights Tybalt until Tybalt is finally killed. Whe .....

.... for this story. The weird sisters are creators of chaos by nature. They associate with evil spirits and obey them, and they are followers of the evil goddess, Hecate. In the play the witches, with their spells, plan the downfall of Macbeth. They cannot directly harm him themselves, so they tell Macbeth predictions for his possible future, in order to make him act on them. The witches tell Macbeth that he will become the thane of Cawdor and then king of Scotland. They poison his mind with these prophesies, making him greedy and bringing out the evil qualities in his soul. When the first of the promises is proven authentic, Macbeth then consid .....
