.... their "illusionary" worlds. Hamlet is approached by the ghost of his dead father who reveals that his own brother, Hamlet's uncle, murdered him.

In the end, the actions taken by both lead to their downfalls in different ways, death for Hamlet and loss of vision for Oedipus Rex. In the beginning, we see Hamlet living in an illusion blocking him from seeing what is really there. Hamlet is under the .....

.... play?" Yes, Franco Zeffelli's film was an improvement over Shakespeares play because he changed the dialogue a little, he made the location better, and the Tybalt and Romeo duel was action packed. I really liked the real elaborate scenery in the movie. I liked all the nice looking buildings. I also liked the scenery because it was real open and right in the center of the city. Franco Zeffelli really added a lot to the great battle scene between Romeo and Tybalt. In the actual play the fight sounded stupid and it seemed like it barely lasted a minute. In the movie the fight sc .....

.... turns to Willy. Now Biff cannot go to college and since he has been concentrating on football, he has little or no skills at anything else. He depends on Willy's support to help him. But since Willy's expectations of Biff are not met, Biff does not receive the help he needs and moves off on his own. This leaves Biff to find a goal in life and reach it. Finally, Biff does not know what to do for a living. He is constantly moving around, unsure of what to do next. This may be because of his uncertainty of a future. Biff has never held a steady job. Because of this, he has never held .....

.... everywhere she goes, she causes problems. Blanche describes to Stanley that her astrological sign is “Virgo the Virgin”(77), meaning that she is chaste, despite the fact that she seduced her seventeen year-old student. Although Blanche “is about five years older than Stella”(15), she lies about her age because she does not want anyone to know the truth about her. In contrast to Stella Kowalski, Stanley Kowalski is a loud and obnoxious character who is repeatedly compared to an animal. Stanley is primitive and a “survivor of the strong age; bearing raw meat home from the kill in .....

.... bits of marble scattered close by indicates that the artist was working on his delicate sculpture when suddenly he felt her flesh tremble. Gérôme's illustration suggests that Pygmalion, after realizing Galatea was no longer a lifeless slab of stone, dropped the mallet and rushed to her side, instantaneously taking her into his arms. It is evident that Galatea's form is no longer that of a lifeless sculpture. Her plain, ivory skin and sinuous curves are seen from a backside view. Her lower body remains stone-like and chalky, but the oblique right angle of her torso suggests movement and .....

.... Gilbert was in a deep conversation with the girl (Ellen), and did not notice Arnie disappear.

.... him while he is hiding behind the arras in Gertude’s room. This shows how Polonius, a man unaware of the true nature of the situation he is in, is killed by a member of the royalty during the execution of one of their schemes. This makes Polonius’ death a tragedy. The next member of Polonius’ family to die is his daughter Ophelia. Ophelia’s death is tragic because of her complete innocence in the situation. Some may argue that Polonius deserves his fate because of his deceitfulness in dealing with Hamlet while he is mad, but Ophelia is entirely manipulated and used by Hamlet and th .....

.... a local villager, was a firm believer that the rumor of witchcraft in the village was nonsense and was completely indifferent to the idea that witches even existed. Reverend Parris stated that the village was talking of witchcraft and Proctor said, "Then let you come out and call them wrong", clearly expressing that he did not believe them. When hysteria about the witch trials first reached him he replied to Reverend Hale, "There are them that will confess to anything before they'll hang; have you ever thought of that?" Throughout the chaos of the trials, while hundreds confessed to be .....

.... this from thee for ever."(I,i, ln 113-116). Some think that Cordelia was prideful, or even a fool in her response, but I believe she was simply being honest and true. Another mistake that was made in the course of the play was by the Earl of Gloucester. After being tricked by his bastard son, Edmund, into believing that his other son, Edgar, was plotting to kill him, he put all his faith in Edmund, which would eventually lead to his demise. Besides believing that Cordelia was being true and honest to her father, I think that Lear and the Earl of Gloucester were fools, regarding the banish .....

.... killing Mercutio. Another minor character thought to have shaped the destinies of Romeo and Juliet is Paris. In Act 3, Scene 5, Lady Capulet announces that Juliet is to marry Paris. "The County Paris, at Saint Peter's church, Shall happily make thee there a joyful bride." Juliet obviously refuses and goes to Friar Laurence for help. Friar Laurence devises a plan, which will prevent the marriage and reunite Romeo with Juliet. However, this plan goes horribly wrong, perhaps causing the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. If Paris had not wished to be with Juliet, none of the following would have occur .....
