.... the law and bury Polyneices, Ismene argues: We who are women should not contend with men; we who are weak are ruled by the stronger, so that we must obey....(346) Once again Ismene's words clearly state her weak, feminine character and helplessness within her own dimensions. Antigone, not happy with her sisters response chides her sister for not participating in her crime and for her passivity, saying, " Set your own life in order"(346). For Antigone, no law could stand in the way of her strong consideration of her brother's spirit, not even the punishment of an early death. Is .....

.... to get there. Now he has seen his chance, the witches predictions have pushed Macbeth to killing the king. Macbeth has a few doubts but Lady Macbeth brings him over them and pushes him to go through with it. Macbeth's ambition was always there but now with the witches prophecies and his wife's support, he has decided to do it. Lady was more evil than Macbeth, Macbeth had doubts which made him weak, but Lady Macbeth didn't, she had no remorse. She shut out her feminine side, this is shown when Macbeth says: "We will proceed no further in this business". And is responded to by .....

.... plot brought him out of the shadows, where his controlled madness might have fooled the likes of Jonan for a while, but the latter's paranoia finally caught on and killed Sowho and itself; putting a rest the destruction and curse laid upon the poor factory workers and opening a broad new scale of possibilities that might (in long terms) help tip the edge of demeaning business ethics in the Nigerian society. Anyone who read Macbeth would agree that it's quite parallel to Flowers & Shadows. Even thought the books where written by two different authors at different time periods; t .....

.... He tries to force Ophelia to give him information, but she ends up lying to him in ACT III Scene i. Hamlet: Get thee to a nunnery. Why wouldst thou be a breeder of sinners? I am myself indifferent honest, but yet I could accuse me of such things that it were better my mother had not borne me: I am very proud, revengeful, ambitious, with more offenses at my beck that I have thoughts to put them in, imagination to give them shape, or time to act time in. What should such fellows as I do crawling between earth and heaven? We are arrant knaves all; believe none of us. Go they w .....

.... the water in the sea would turn red from the blood on his hands; which leads me to the conclusion that blood was a much more powerful symbol than water in this play. In Macbeth, light and dark was used in a classic sense. Light symbolized all that is good, and it is no coincidence that when a scene included Banquo or another of the innocent victims in this play, the setting was bright. On the other hand, when a scene involved murder or the supernatural, such as the scenes involving the witches, a dark setting was used. The strange acting animals which were spoken of periodically during t .....

.... of loving and caring person. Polonius appears like a man who loves and cares about his son, Laertes. Polonius speaks to his son with advice that sounds sincere but in reality it is rehearsed, hollow and without feeling. Polonius gives his advice only to appear to be the loving caring father. The reality is he only speaks to appear sincere as a politician, to look good rather then actually be good: "And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry. This above all: to thine own self be true, And it must follow, as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man. Farewell; my blessing .....

.... It is this jealousy which moves him to do many evil things in the play. He pays Iago large amounts of money to conjure up a scheme to acquire Desdemona. He gives in to Iago at the beginning of the play. In effect he has become the villian's disciple. By doing this, he himself has adopted the green-eyed monster image. In act two, he is prompted by Iago to cause a commotion and begin a fight with Cassio. Later in act four, scene two, Roderigo is convinced by Iago to kill Cassio. In act five, scene one, Roderigo attempts to kill Cassio but only manages to wound him. At the same time Ca .....

.... “love at first site.” These are people who say that they fell in love the first time they laid eyes on their significant other. These are also the people who believe in fate and destiny. People that don’t believe in love at first site feel love needs to be worked for. Not every couple can get along perfectly like we all probably dream, but it doesn’t mean we can’t work towards a better understanding of each other. “But ‘tis my heart that loves what they despise.” (Shakespeare CXLI) And as we don’t get along perfectly, as Shakespeare says, we tend to love what others d .....

.... in the success which crowns his efforts in battle - and so on. He may even conceived of the proper motive which should energize back of his great deed: The service and the loyalty I owe, In doing it, pays itself. But while he destroys the king's enemies, such motives work but dimly at best and are obscured in his consciousness by more vigorous urges. In the main, as we have said, his nature violently demands rewards: he fights valiantly in order that he may be reported in such terms a "valour's minion" and "Bellona's bridegroom"' he values success because it brings spectacular fame and .....

.... but his prayers are not sincere. Claudius, overcome with guilt, would prefer to keep his status then reveal what he did to King Hamlet. The play within the play is useful because it allows Hamlet to verify the validity of the ghost. Usually plays are intended for entertainment purposes. The play is not real and the actors are playing a role. In reality Hamlet makes it so that it is similar to what really happened to his father. Hamlet even goes as far as to instruct the actors appropriately. He will prove that the ghost is truthful by the reaction on Claudius' face. The play appea .....
