Hamlet: A Sane Man
... "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 ...

Hamlet: Was He Mad?
... 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.
Hamlet: Nay, ...

The Instigator
... 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, ...

What To Do?: Terrorism And The Media
... 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 ...

The Tempest: Drunk And More Drunk
... 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 ...

Critical Article On MacBeth
... 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". This paragraph shows an
example of what Robertson disregarded:
"But cruel are the times, when we are traitors And do not know
ourselves, when we hold rumour From what we fear, yet know not what we
fear, Each way and move."
Robertson, after contemplating this passage, remarked that this is
"certainly not Shakespeare's" because of the earlier po ...

Romeo And Juliet: A Review
... 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 ...

Wilson's Fences
... He knows that since he is black, there is discrimination in his work field. Nevertheless, he works hard in his job even though he knows there is little chance that he will rise.
Troy loves his son Cory and wants the best for him but not like anything like his father. Troy doesn’t want him to play sports because of what happened to him. Troy tells Cory that he won’t get to play because of the discrimination. “I decided seventeen years ago that boy wasn’t getting involved in no sports. Not after what they did to me in the sports (p.39).” Troy also wants Cory to be a man. He tells Cory to keep with school because he never had an education. He wants Cory to g ...
