.... "Thane of Cawdor" by king Duncan. The darker side of Macbeth is also shown in his brutal way of killing his enemy in the battle, Macbeth's cold and violent side. We see here that Macbeth has no problem brutally killing someone in cold blood. Another aspect of Macbeth's darker side is shown in scene 3 of Act I when Macbeth believes the witches' prophesies and is determined to see them come true, while Banquo is somewhat skeptical of the three witches. The outside pressures Macbeth faces, stemming from the witches, and Lady Macbeth, sets off his tragic flaw ambition. The prophecies made by the witches only make Macbeth more anxious for the .....

In his early films, The Marriage Circle (1924), One Hour With You (1932), and Trouble in Paradise (1932), elements of Lubitsch’s style, such as deception and corruption, role playing and performance, relationships, and the concept of desire as motivation for everything are common staples. To understand the thematic aspects of Lubitsch style, we must look at each of these in turn. Deception and Corruption There are surface deceptio .....

.... start of the play. In the first act, Hamlet appears to be very straightforward in his actions and inner state. When questioned by Gertrude about his melancholy appearance, Hamlet says, "Seems, madam? Nay it is. I know not 'seems.' (1.2.76). This is to say "I am what I appear to be." Later In Act I, Hamlet makes a clear statement about his state when he commits himself to revenge. In this statement the play makes an easy to follow shift. This shift consists of Hamlet giving up the role of a student and mourning son. Hamlet says, "I'll wipe away all trivial fond records, All saws of books, all forms, all pressures past, That youth and observ .....

.... II, Sc ii, Ln 289-290) They both were interested only in getting Lear's land, and used any means necessary to get it. Edmund, in the other plot of the play, deceives his father in order to gain his favor. Edmund, the Earl of Gloucester's bastard son, tells his father that Edgar, Gloucester's legitimate son, is plotting to ruin Gloucester. This causes the Earl to banish Edgar and give his title and land to Edmund. The ironic misuse of power used by the Earl of Gloucester shows up in both plots.

.... of Cawdor." Lady Macbeth convinced her husband to murder Duncan by putting his manhood and courage at stake (I,7, "When you durst do it, then you were a man;/ And to be more than what you were, you would be so much more the man"). As Macbeth started degrading he lost some bravery (IV, 1, "That I may tell pale- hearted fear it lies"). In his fight with Macduff, some of his old courage and strength returned. Macbeth could be brave when it came to action but when he started thinking he would hesitate and would have to be urged into action by his wife or by the sense of security that he obtained from the prophecies of the supernatural.

.... 60). From this it is clear that the men in the play prefer a better "mold" than Kate, in other words, she does not carry herself as well as Bianca. Kate does not play the coy flirting games, and is therefore thought of as harsher than Bianca. Bianca, however, knows how to be flirtatious, witty, and coy around her admirers, and yet is almost intentionally mean to Kate. For instance, Bianca knows that it hurts Kate to have no suitors while she (Bianca) has several. Bianca uses this to hurt Kate. When Kate tries to find out which suitor Bianca really likes, Bianca swears that she won't take the suitor that Kate likes. She casually offers .....
