... "Well,well,we know," or "We could an if we/would,"/Or "If we list to speak," or "There be an if they/might,"/Or such ambiguous giving-out, to note/That you know of me-this do swear,/(I,v,190-201).Hamlet states that from this point forward I may act weird but to ignore my acts of madness for they are just that, acts, and are in no way a sign of true madness. Only a sane and rational person could devise such a plan as to act insane to convince others that he is insane when he actually has complete control over his psyche. Hamlet only acts mad when he is in the presence of certain characters. When he is around Polonius, Claudius, Gertrude, Ophelia, Rosencrantz, an ...

... with Ophelia: Hamlet: ...I could accuse me of such things that it were better my mother had not borne me: I am very proud, revengeful, ambitious, with more offenses at my beck than I have thoughts to put them in, imagination to give them shape, or time to act them in. What should such fellows as I do crawling between heaven and earth! We are arrant knaves, all; believe none of us... * Act 3 Scene 1 One minute Hamlet tells Ophelia that “I did love you once.”1 Then in his next line he says “I loved you not.”2 This quick change in moods suggests that he was mad.

... with his hatred is to let it out by aggression. Tybalt is one of the major characters of the play, in the aspect, he is responsible for the major turn of events, as his action turn the preceding part of the play from a short comedy into a full-length tragedy. On the streets of Verona, Tybalt and his subject run into their warring counterparts, Benvolio and Mercutio, of the Montague household. Being a peaceful man, Benvolio talks of peace, trying to stay away from any further clashes. Nevertheless, at the sound of the word “peace” Tybalt illustrates his animosity toward the Montagues, as he repulsively responds, “I hate the word / As I hate hell, all Montagues, ...

... been made in some dark alley with no spectators would the people react the way they did? The marketplace of old Jerusalem, can be compared to the media of today. What better place to get the public informed about your reasons and purpose for attacks than the news. Albert gave a good definition of terrorist's objectives when he stated: "Terrorists try to exercise influence over targeted officials on nations through intimidation of the public and arousal of sympathy for the social and political causes they espouse. Without widespread publicity, terrorist acts can achieve neither of these effects" (Bandura, Albert qtd. In Nacos 1). Terrorists need the news media ...



The Tragedies Of Shakespeare

... can be peeled off, eventually allowing a glimpse at the core concealed within. Shakespeare's treatment of the character Hamlet is typically multi- faceted and complex—Hamlet appears insane, ostensibly over Ophelia, however, his madness is feigned—a cover for internal conflicts, rooted not in thwarted affection, but rather in desire to avenge his father's murder. Hamlet even goes so far as to say his apparent madness is an act when he says "I am but mad north-north-west; when the wind is southerly, I know a hawk from a handsaw"(667). Shakespeare often used madness, either feigned or actual, as a teaching tool or vehicle to advance his plot. Sometimes this m ...

... be able to keep the audience interested. What better to make someone laugh than a pair of drunk servants. During the duration of the story their drunkenness causes them to do things that normally they wouldn't do. They blindly attempt to take on Prospero, a powerful sorcerer and scheme how to defeat and kill him. Who in their sober mind take on an all powerful sorcerer? This is quite amusing because it shows us how incredibly foolish we act when we are drunk. Of course their attempt to take on Prospero proves to be futile, instead they play dress up with his cloaks and when Prospero shows up, Stephano and Trinculo run for their lives and leave Calaban behind ...

... passed off as horrid. Empson points out that "it establishes from the start the theme of fog" and I am within full agreement with Empson when he remarks that comment of the line. Certain lines to MacBeth, which Empson described as essential, were disregarded by Robertson as having "no sense".

Robertson, after contemplating this passage, remarked that this is "certainly not Shakespeare's" because of the earlier po ...

... comical element of the play, and each character does this in a different way. One of Shakespeare's tools used to evoke humour is the mockery that is aimed at a particular character. Some of the funniest moments are when one character is sarcastic to another. One of the best examples of this is when Capulet asks Lady Capulet for a sword and she replies “A crutch, a crutch! Why call you for a sword?” In this line the mockery of Capulet is obvious and appealing to the audience as it is direct. Shakespeare is known to be fond of puns and uses them quite regularly but he doesn't use them as often as the Elizabethan audience expected him to. Shakespear ...
