.... must "catch the nearest way", and kill Duncan that night. On the other hand, as the time for murder comes nearer, he begins giving himself reasons not to murder Duncan, this is because as lady Macbeth said "he is to full of the milk of human kindness" and his elaborate imagination causes him to see the crime in all its horror before the deed is actually done. Lady Macbeth uses her cunning rhetoric and persuasive techniques to convince Macbeth that this is, beyond the shadow of a doubt, the right thing to do. He then tells her that "I am settled." He is firmly seated in his beliefs that k .....

.... (Act 5, scene 3, line 122). These quote show how Romeo loves Juliet. So much he will die to be with her." The next quotes show how Juliet's feelings are mutual to Romeo's. After Juliet wakes up from her death like coma she sees Romeo's dead corpse and notices that he had never got the message from the friar. "O churl! Drunk all, and left no friendly drop to help me after? I will kiss his lips. Haply some poison yet doth hang on them. To make me die with a restorative." The next quote shows how the poison has no effect on Juliet, and how she is so desperate to be with Romeo she will .....

.... known and discovered by each individual philosopher to better enrich life for all. Yet in terms of Sophoclean drama, specifically Oedipus Rex, this was meant in a vastly different way. The unexamined life was one that was in the dark, unknown as to what fate lied beyond every turn and irony of living. Oedipus, up to the point in which he heard the comment in the tavern in Corinth, lived an unexamined life. To Socrates, he was an unfulfilled man, one who deserved to know more, one who not complete. However, in a much less metaphysical sense, Oedipus' life was complete, in that he had all that .....

.... their nephew, Gabriel, whom they hope will arrive before the infamous drunk, Freddy Mallins. As one guest after another arrive James Joyce’s prose is eloquently translated into dialogue by director, Hutson and thus, Actresses Cathleen Delany (Aunt Julia) and Helena Carroll (Aunt Kate) create an element of suspense more so than in the words of Joyce. Upon his long awaited arrival, Gabriel’s greeting and idle chitchat is identical to that of the text. Joyce describes in depth the thoughts and feelings of Gabriel throughout the story, only it is more difficult to do so in film. In attempt .....

.... be guilty of the sin of pride and overwhelmed by an immature or masochistic desire to martyr herself. Others consider her a woman of innate nobility and idealism, unwilling to compromise the truth as she sees it, who suffers a cruel and undeserved punishment. In either case, it is important to realize that Antigone is driven by her principles and a reasoned analysis of the situation. The positions of Antigone and Creon are opposed, but both possess the same stubborn belief in their own righteousness. Thus, on the issue of the burial one is right and one is wrong, but to an extent both shar .....

.... example is her decorations to Stella's apartment which creates a dim surrounding to help hide her true appearance. Unlike Stella, Blanche is afraid of her reality. She is afraid of getting old which is which she puts covers on the lamps to dim the lights. She's afraid of being alone, which was why she tried so hard to keep Mitch from finding out about her past. In conclusion, although Stella and Blanche were brought up in the same environment, they matured differently. Stella deals with her reality and doesn't try to cover it up with lies, unlike Blanche who creates illusions to cover u .....

.... an important factor in this play. For example, When Abigail stated, "now look you. All of you. We danced. And Tituba conjured Ruth Putnum’s dead sisters. And that is all. Let either of you breathe a word. About the other things, and I will come to you in the black of some terrible night and I will bring a pointy reckoning that will shudder you". (1044) This quote shows how Abigail would make the girls jealous by the way she is taking control of them and manipulating them not to speak a word of what happened and to convince them to keep quiet about the witchcraft or even blaming Tituba f .....

.... about his state when he commits himself to revenge. In this statement the play makes an easy to follow shift. This shift consists of Hamlet giving up the role of a student and mourning son. Hamlet says, "I'll wipe away all trivial fond records, All saws of books, all forms, all pressures past, That youth and observation copied there, And thy commandment all alone shall live Within the book and volume of my brain" (1.5.99-103). Hamlet is declaring that he will be committed to nothing else but the revenge of his father's death. In the next act, however, Hamlet's status and in .....

.... presence of the king or those whom he considers the king’s agents (Hankins 127). The train of events from the death of his father to the revelation of the ghost has profoundly disturbed Hamlet. He realizes it himself and fears that the excitement within him may betray his secret. He knows well that it is beyond his power to suppress it altogether, and so he pretends to be mad. Any slip of the tongue about his secrets will seem like the uttering of a mad man, and his real thoughts will be unknown to those around him. Hamlet must have time to think, time to perfect a plan of action, an .....

.... spells, plan the downfall of Macbeth. They cannot directly harm him themselves, so they tell Macbeth predictions for his possible future, in order to make him act on them. The witches tell Macbeth that he will become the thane of Cawdor and then king of Scotland. They poison his mind with these prophesies, making him greedy and bringing out the evil qualities in his soul. When the first of the promises is proven authentic, Macbeth then considers the idea of murdering Duncan for the first time. This is his first step on the journey to his demise, as the witches had planned. The three witch .....
