.... condescending. However, Nora does not seem to mind at all and plays along in her role as Helmer’s “little squirrel�. In Act 1 we also learn about Nora’s taste for macaroons. At the beginning of the scene she is eating some and hides the bag when Helmer enters the room. He later questions her as to whether or not she has been “breaking rules� by eating a macaroon or two, which she denies. This shows us that Helmer’s control over Nora goes so far as to include the forbidding of sweets. More importantly, it shows us that Nora willfully disobeys Helmer’s wishes. It is in this small exchange that we see a hint of No .....

.... into a dew, on that the everlasting had not fixed His Canon ’gainst < self-slaughter!> Hamlet is expressing his desire to take his own life. He feels that his body or rather flesh has no purpose or use in the world. Hamlet then angers at the fact that he cannot commit suicide because it is against the law. Hamlet goes on to express how much he hates the world and finds it useless. Lines 136-141-“ O God, God, How stale, flat and unprofitable seem to me all the uses of this world! Fie on ’t, ah fie! ’Tis an unweeded garden That grows to seed Things rank and gross in nature possess it merely.� He believes there to be so man .....

.... and high-key lighting. In the scene where Joe Sullivan escapes from prison, Pat is waiting in the car and all that you can see is her face, a result of low-key lighting. The use of this type of lighting is used to increase the intensity of the scene and define the mood. By directing their attention to Pat’s face, the audience can concentrate on her facial expressions and sense her fear. The direction of the light also plays a key role in creating a successful visual image. An example of this is the use of front-lighting and back-lighting in the scene on the boat where Joe is talking to Pat about their new married life. The camera .....

.... bands with the help of your good hands." In other words, clap so that the sails of the boats his friends are riding in will be safely returned and Prospero can be "relieved by prayer" of the audience. All of what Prospero has said is very nice cute, but the most interesting part of this monologue is what Shakespeare himself is saying. "Now that my charms are all o'erthrown, and what strength I have's mine own" means, now my plays are over, and it's no longer my characters speaking. The "Island" or stage Shakespeare is on is now "bare" and it is time for "you" the audience to release Shakespeare and his actors from this play with the "he .....

.... other regional styles had been driven from the ceramics scene by Athens, who had created an empire of luxury wares with Attic Black Figure pottery. Around 530 BC there was a birth of a new type of pottery called Attic Red Figure. Attic Black Figure was virtually replaced by the new comer around 480 BC. The key to Athens’s success was due in part to the variety of shapes and the countless range of pictorial and geometric designs on the exterior of the pieces. The ancient Greek pottery has even inspired poetry. An author named John Keats wrote a poem called Ode on a Grecian Earn. The poem speaks of the beauty of Greek pottery. “O At .....

.... during the Capulet feast, Tybalt wanted to do the impulsive thing and kill Romeo, but Capulet thought for a second about the consequences. Tybalt said “I'll not endure him� and Capulet told him emphatically “he shall be endur'd�(pg. 57, Lines 77 & 78). In this scene Capulet prevented a huge Montegue and Capulet confrontation by thinking first and not doing the impulsive suggested by Tybalt. Through thinking these actions through, problems were prevented. However, Capulet was at times, a very rash person, and that lead to much of the misfortune in this play. Hours after Romeo killed Tybalt, Capulet acted on haste in Act III, Scene .....

.... thee.� (3.5.303-204), she was only showing Juliet that she did not care, even though it is her responsibility as a parent to be there for her daughter. A responsibility that she did not act upon. The Nurse is another example of someone who, in authority, did not show responsibility. She encourages Juliet to continue to see Romeo secretly, even after he has been banished. She even says to Juliet: “I’ll find Romeo to comfort you. I wot well where he is. Hark ye, your Romeo will be here at night.� (3.2.138-140) And is clearly telling her to be with this outcast. The Nurse proves to be a traitor when she tells her to marry Paris, .....

.... armor in quest of adventures" (Starkle 17). In Part I Don Quixote of La Mancha (added the name of his kingdom like Amadius) equips himself with arms and armor and rides forth on Rosinante, a broken-down horse, to challenge evil wherever he may find it. A peasant, named Sancho Panza serves him as squire. In his deranged state, Don Quixote sets himself the task of defending orphans, protecting maidens and widows, befriending the helpless, serving the causes of truth and beauty, and reestablishing justice. His adventures and journey's are often inappropriate to the situation; for example, he attacks a windmill, thinking of a giant, and a f .....

.... His mind temporarily can not handle his situation because, as I will mention later, his mother is at the center of it. He has to try to find meaning, direction and a stable identity in the midst of all the evil about him (Lidz, 73). We clearly see that Hamlet is quite upset by his mother's quite hasty marriage to is uncle, and this causes some deep seeded emotional problems for Hamlet. I can not talk about Hamlet's emotional state without also going into the fact that Hamlet already suspects the King of killing his father, before the ghost tells him so (Leavenwoth, 34). First I will go elaborate on how Hamlet, at certain times, was cl .....

.... treatment of the character Hamlet is typically multi- faceted and complex—Hamlet appears insane, ostensibly over Ophelia, however, his madness is feigned—a cover for internal conflicts, rooted not in thwarted affection, but rather in desire to avenge his father's murder. Hamlet even goes so far as to say his apparent madness is an act when he says "I am but mad north-north-west; when the wind is southerly, I know a hawk from a handsaw"(667). Shakespeare often used madness, either feigned or actual, as a teaching tool or vehicle to advance his plot. Sometimes this madness was feigned, as evidenced by Hamlet and Edgar (the legitimat .....
