.... 'put women in their place'. The play is a comedy about an assertive woman coping with how she is expected to act in the society of the late sixteenth century and of how one must obey the unwritten rules of a society to be accepted in it.

Goneril and Regan both, unlike their sister Cordelia who is to t .....

.... may change rapidly, it may not be indicated by the script that it has changed, and was most likely suggested by a few props. Abstract settings place more emphasis on the language and the performer, which causes the spectator to use their imagination. It also places more emphasis on costuming. This type of setting helped set up the style of representational theater, which places high emphasis on the realistic.

.... is lost, so is MB's grip with reality. Lady Macbeth was the only person he could truly confide in. The supernatural also had another key factor to her death.

The following quote, "Come, you spirits that tend on mortal thoughts, unsex me here, and fill me from the crown to the toe, top-full of direst cruelty! make thick my blood, stop up the access and passage to remorse… Come to my woman's breasts, and take my milk for gall…", is possibly the most important passage that leads to Lady Macbeth' .....

The Crucible: The Tragedy At Salem
Number of words: 1138 - Number of pages: 5

.... the Puritans of Salem were a political group with leanings toward power and weakness. They were unable to keep these two characteristics in check at the time of the witch hunt. This resulted in the witch hunts becoming "a perverse manifestation of the panic which set in among all classes when the balance began to turn toward greater individual freedom"(Miller 7).

The theocracy of the Salem society at the time was an enormous factor to the conditions surrounding the wi .....
