.... the ghost appeared and called to Hamlet, wanting to speak with him. The spirit talked about how Claudius poisoned the King while he was sleeping, "Tis given out that, sleeping in my orchard,/ a serpent stung me² (1.5, 36) but it was not a snake that the ghost is referring to. The spirit wanted the prince to avenge his murder. All was quiet in the kingdom until the start of Hamlet's supposed insanity. The Prince was with his mother talking when the prince noticed someone in the room. Hamlet thought it was Claudius, "How now? A rat? Dead for a ducat, dead! " (3.4,25) Indeed Ham .....

.... night. Fleance says, "The moon is down" (Line 2), and Banquo says, "Their (Heaven's) candles are all out (there are no stars in the sky)." (Line 5) Darkness evokes feelings of evilness, of a disturbance in nature on this fateful night. It creates a perfect scene for the baneful murders. Another disturbance in nature comes from Macbeth's mouth, "Now o'er the one half-world / Nature seems dead" (Lines 49 - 50). This statement might mean that everywhere he looks, the world seems dead (there is no hope). It might also give him the idea that the murder he is about to commit will have r .....

.... ambition caused him to do desperate things. Desperation. in my opinion, dug Macbeth's own grave. When the subject of Macduff arrives, I don't think that he would have been so bitter towards Macbeth if he hadn't killed his wife and children. Killing Macduff's family gains nothing for Macbeth and tries to get at Macduff indirectly. This act of desperation and spitefulness gives a good reason to now fear Macduff. Also, as Macbeth took the throne, he really didn't trust anyone except his wife, Lady Macbeth. Paranoid, due to King Duncan's murder, Macbeth let's his delusional state of mi .....

.... see a man on television that wears funny clothes, wears thick glasses, and is very unpopular, I classify this person as a "nerd". This is not a good thing to have a habit of. You can not agree, disagree, talk about, or respond to a situation, unless you were there. You absolutely have no idea of what went on or how much of the story is true. The media lets you know what they want you to know. Also, there can never be ONE interpretation or essential meaning to something. I would like to see more films like this only with a little more of an "attention getter." I feel I could learn a lot .....

.... mocks itself! I'll not believe 't." (lines 294-295) Yet only a couple hundred lines later he says, "I'll tear her to pieces" (line 447) and says that his mind will never change from the "tyrannous hate" (line 464) he now harbors. Does Othello make the transition just because he is so successfully manipulated by Iago? Or is there something particular about his character which makes him make this quick change? I believe that "jealousy" is too simple of a term to describe Othello. I think that Othello's rapid change from love to hate for Desdemona is fostered partly by an inferiority complex .....

.... society. Through out the whole play, women are being accused of witchcraft. A man could have never been accused of witchcraft in those days. Men were the dominant gender. Tituba is a black servant who was spotted in the woods supposedly practicing witchcraft. She is blamed for the crime, probably because she is a servant of the lower class. But as the play goes on, a more classless society comes into effect. That is when the women of the upper class get blamed for the crime. At the time of the play, women were afraid to accuse men of any sore of crime. Reverend Hale is the man sent .....

.... anymore, it would be too realistic, something the american public, and too a lesser extent the general public does not appreciate. I believe this ending is not realistic as Pk loses his greatest love(or so they make us believe in the movie) dies and he does not care and continues to fight the “bad guys”, not thinking about her ever again in the movie. Same thing with his boxer friend, who just continues to live on like nothing ever happened. I already stated above what should have been done to make this a more realistic ending. The boxer should have crushed psychologically a .....

.... party. He also taught them about the importance of conformity. He had three of the students start marching in a circle at their own pace. After a few minutes they all ended up going the same pace. He had them do this to prove that one must conform with life. One must conform with life in some ways, but still have their own independence. One of Mr. Keating’s students, Neil Perry, thought about all he taught them about independence. Neil decided to try out for the school play against his father’s wishes. He got the lead part and forged a note of permission from his father. He was exceptio .....

.... is a paragon. One character in the play particularly concerned with his goals, regardless of the path he must take to reach them is Thomas Cromwell. Cromwell is the personification of pragmatism and is willing to do anything, providing the end sees him satisfied. "…our job as administrators is to make it as convenient as we can," Cromwell states in reference to the King's divorce and the pursuit of More's support. He is "…the King's ear," and is thus responsible for all the menial tasks which the King would otherwise have to perform, including seeing to it that Sir Thomas More either a .....

.... that she was heartless, thinking only of herself and that the men in her life didn’t mean a thing to her. The peasants though, now she has no one to take care of, and she can be free. And finally, a fourth reason the Irish thought that the play was insulting them was the fact that there were no “good times” or happy, pleasant times. It was all about death, and negativity. Many thought Synge was portraying them as being obsessed with death, and their life wasn’t worth living under the circumstances. Realistically, Synge meant all these instances in a positive way. First off, when .....
