Romeo And Juliet: They Did It To Themselves
... in which to flirt with. Instead of being
rational and realizing that this party was a bad idea for a Montague, he and his
friends enter without fear.
Once the party is over, Romeo hears Juliet on her balcony talking of how
she loves Romeo and together they speak of their impending marriage. What? It
seems that they are obsessed, not in love. How could they love each other when
in fact they have just met hours earlier? They are children who have crushes and
plenty of melodrama to enhance it.

The Crucible: The Tragedy At Salem
... the Salemite's society was an
organized theocracy in which their Puritan church ruled. It was instilled
to ensure moral order and justice within Salem and "to prevent any disunity
that might open it to destruction by material or ideological
enemies"(Miller 7). While espousing purity and godliness, the Puritans of
Salem were a political group with leanings toward power and weakness. They
were unable to keep these two characteristics in check at the time of the
witch hunt. This resulted in the witch hunts becoming "a perverse

The Problem In Macbeth
... he only wants the Good, understood as that
which promotes its own selfpreservation.
If, however, we exclusively define the Good as man's selfpreservation,
man's different attempts to achieve this would lead to mutual destruction. If I
- and everyone included - unhampered and in absolute selfishness only seek my
own, the misfortune I could inflict on someone would naturally be limitless. So
there has to be a further addition to the concept of Good.
The Good, we might add, is not only the instantaneous need for
satisfaction - in a matter of time it will often turn out to be an evil - but it
is in fact the absolute purpose for any human being (the highest Good) ...

You, was made into a movie recently. The movie was Screamers, starring Peter
