The Deception In King Lear
Number of words: 1472 - Number of pages: 6.... that her love is even less true
than that of her sister's. She goes even farther to say:
"...that I profess
Myself an enemy to all other joys
Which the most precious square of sense possesses,
And find I am alone felicitate
In your dear highness' love."
I.i.71-75
This goes to show that she is more greedy than her sister and her words are also

Her ambition to get what she wants is evident in the words that she speaks. She
claims .....

impressed upon them.
As a title theme for my year's work I have come up with "Multifaceted

but great, as it allows me to create many different forms of work, all tied .....

Fate In Oedipus The King
Number of words: 1134 - Number of pages: 5.... For instance, Oedipus is forewarned of his fate. When he went to Delphi as a young man, he was told that he was “doomed to sleep with [his] my mother, doomed to murder [his] my father (1080).” For most of his life he was forewarned of this horrible fate. One could argue that it was this inescapable fate that led him to marry the Queen of Thebes and kill the King, unknowingly fulfilling his prophecy. Also, fate could have brought Oedipus to Thebes.

The Character Of Macbeth
Number of words: 2164 - Number of pages: 8.... seem like they could be reality. The war hero becomes a murderer and
then dies a shameful and violent death. Shakespeare creates an atmosphere of
evil and darkness mainly through his language, although scenes containing
violent actions or the witches are often played in darkness. Shakespeare uses
poetry (verse) as opposed to prose, as poetry often contains more metaphors and
imagery, which he used to create a feeling of darkness and evil. The language
gives an insight into the character of Macbeth - we see his ruthlessness and
cruelty, but also fear, doubt and some scruples.
Macbeth's .....

King Lear - The Fool: A Motivated Character
Number of words: 913 - Number of pages: 4.... are presented by the Fool. He sees the inner truth about the world. “Thou wouldst make a good fool,” (I, 5, 38) said the Fool to his master at the beginning of his misfortunes. He spoke as a prophet. The king lost everything including his wits, and has now himself become the fool. The Fool shows the sign of real sanity. The solution to the problem is set by the Fool; the problem of moral relativity, “Wisdom and goodness to the vile seem vile, filths savour but themselves,” (IV, 2, 38-9). “Lear’s tragedy is the investing of the king with motley, and the crowning of the Fo .....

Macbeth: The Three Witches
Number of words: 923 - Number of pages: 4.... to come: indicate or
suggest beforehand; prefigure; presage." (Compton's Interactive
Encyclopedia) Playwrights use this technique to give the audience a sense
of what is to come or what exactly is going to happen to a character.
Foreshadowing can be easily detected or it cannot be noticed at all until
the end of the play or story. In Shakespeare's Macbeth, Shakespeare uses
the prophecies of the witches and thoughts of Macbeth himself to foreshadow
within the play. And Macbeth himself detects them somewhat as does the
audience.
In Macbeth, Shakespeare uses the three witches as main sources
