Number of words: 539 - Number of pages: 2.... he spoke to me. He said, "Hammy, I will be away for a
while. I want you to watch mommy, and guard our fortress from invaders.

He left that afternoon and I knew he wouldn't be back for a long time.
Things carried on as usual. I ran around the castle playing and
shirking any responsibility that I had. One day I was playing hide-and-go-
seek with Laertes and the other kids. I accidentally strayed from the
other kids. I just wandered around for a while. I was roaming through the
maze of hedges in the courtyard, wh .....

A Midsummer Night's Dream: Humor
Number of words: 591 - Number of pages: 3.... humor is sometimes more suited for this.
Shakespeare used something like inferred humor to get across some other
meanings that added to the play. One good example is the character of Puck.
Puck is a hyperactive child that gets into a lot of mischief. His attitude
toward his tasks is sort of a light and airy one. He does not take life
seriously, he only does what is fun. This type of character is totally
different than everyone else in the play; they are in a serious tone, while Puck
is just dancing around pulling pranks on everyone. One good example of a prank
that Puck created was put .....

Macbeth: Symbolism In Imagery
Number of words: 1068 - Number of pages: 4.... so far that, should I wade no more, / Returning were as tedious as go o'er:” the extent of his guilt and mental deterioration becomes obvious. Macbeth tries to justify his evil by using the rationale that it is just as easy to continue the killing as it is to stop it. Macbeth seems to be fascinated with blood. In act 3, scene 4 the word blood is used 4 times in 6 lines (151-157). Although the blood imagery is used mostly to show Macbeth’s deranged state, lines such as “It will have blood, they say; blood will have blood.” (III, 4. 151) testify that Macbeth still has enough of a grip o .....

A Critical Analysis Of Shakespeare's Hamlet
Number of words: 1121 - Number of pages: 5.... she replied that she had told Hamlet that she could not see or communicate
with him any more. Her father makes reference to Hamlet's madness once again by
proclaiming that what his daughter said, "... hath made him (Hamlet) mad." (Act
2 Scene 2 line 123).
The argument of whether Hamlet is insane because of his love for Ophelia is
often debated, but a more confusing and complex situation is the struggle within
Hamlet's mind. His personal struggle is revealed to the audience in scene one
of the third act. In this scene Hamlet recites his famous "To be or not to be-
that is the q .....

Interpretation Of Ibsen's "A Doll's House"
Number of words: 1316 - Number of pages: 5.... extremely important. Ibsen in his "A Doll's House" depicts the role of women as subordinate in order to emphasize the need to reform their role in society.
Definite characteristics of the women's subordinate role in a relationship are emphasized through Nora's contradicting actions. Her infatuation with luxuries such as expensive Christmas gifts contradicts her resourcefulness in scrounging and buying cheap clothing; her defiance of Torvald by eating forbidden Macaroons contradicts the submission of her opinions, including the decision of which dance outfit to wear, to her husband; and Nora .....

opinions. Horatio acted as an advisor to Hamlet, but he did not tell Hamlet that
he was heading in the wrong direction. Because of this Hamlet's heart pounded
hard with the thought of revenge. The flaw was there and the stage was set for
tragedy. There was no way for Hamlet to change his destiny. "Haste me to know `t,
that I, with wings as swift As meditation or th .....

Hamlet: Is He Insane?
Number of words: 725 - Number of pages: 3.... him while
he's praying his soul goes to heaven and this wouldn't be revenge. This is not
a thought of an insane person. An insane person would have completed the murder
at this opportunity. In Act III, scene I, line 55, “To be or not to be...”,
Hamlet displays his indecisiveness by thinking about suicide because of the
situation he is in. He would rather be dead than live with the thought of his
father's death going unavenged. He is scared to get revenge because he found
out from a ghost and he doesn't know what to do. In line 83,” Thus conscience
takes a major part in the tho .....
