.... a small village setting seems more appropriate for Puck. He is the type of fairy that likes to be around mortals and cause them trouble, as opposed to other fairies. This is why Puck's little job with a love potion and a young couple is perfect for him and he perfect for the job. Puck is a likable character who tends to create mischief around himself. Everything is a game to crafty little Puck. Yet once he realizes that he has caused a problem he will make sure to the best of his ability and power that it is rectified. As in the scene with Hermia and Lysander, and He .....

.... (Act I, Sc i, Ln 38-41) This gives the reader the first indication of Lear's intent to abdicate his throne. He goes on further to offer pieces of his kingdom to his daughters as a form of reward to his test of love. "Great rivals in our youngest daughter's love, Long in our court have made their amorous sojourn, And here are to be answered. Tell me, my daughters (Since now we will divest us both of rule, Interest of territory, cares of state), Which of you shall we say doth love us most? That we our largest bounty may extend where nature doth wit .....

.... 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, “Marry, I will; and this is wisely done.” (3.5.233) She did not guide Juliet on any one specific path, she was not responsible. Friar Laurence is .....

.... Howie Newsome sees Dr. Gibbs and asks if something is wrong. “Somebody sick?[Howie Newsome]. Pair of twins over to Mrs. Goruslawski’s [Dr. Gibbs]. Twins, eh? This town’s gettin’ bigger every year [Howie] (Wilder, 828).” It is best for the community to know what is going on so they can help out each other if needed. Gossip builds strong communities and allows them to function and prosper. Another positive effect of gossip is that it will force people to do good things for the community. If they don’t then rumors will start and you will get a bad name. This is good becaus .....

.... 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 new .....

.... compassionate. He is wrathful, but at times, patient. Because of his good qualities, we experience pity for him and feel that he does not deserve the severity of his punishment. His actions are not occasioned by any corruption or depravity in him, but by an error in judgment, which, however, does arise from a defect of character. Lear has a "tragic flaw" - egotism. It is his egotism in the first scene that causes him to make his error in judgment - the division of his kingdom and the loss of Cordelia. Throughout the rest of the play, the consequences of this error slowly and steadfastly in .....

.... appearance 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. F .....

.... reason, he cannot take his life because he does not know what happens after one dies. He is not positive of an afterlife, therefore he doesn't have the courage to end his life. "Now might I do it prat," (Beaty, 1363) is a soliloquy in which we see a shift in Hamlet's rationalization. Hamlet, as his fathers only son, is seeking revenge for his fathers death, but is afraid that a quick death for Claudius would not be enough. Hamlet feels that waiting until Claudius is in an immoral situation would make him suffer in death because he would not be allowed to repent for his sins. During this .....

.... chase Valjean for the rest of his life. When Javert brings Valjean back to the priest's house to confirm the theft, the priest amazes everyone by saying that he gave Valjean the silver and then he added a pair of silver candle sticks to what already was taken. When the police left, the priest told Valjean that he "must use this precious silver to become an honest man". With this kindness that was given to Valjean, he decided that he will be able to start his life again. In the opening scene Valjean has a soliloquy where he discusses how cruel the world is once branded a criminal. Javert c .....
