Finally in the third stage order is restored again and the play ends in a
festive ending. In the beginning of A Midsummer Nights Dream we see that Theseus
has entire control over the people in Athens and he is getting ready to wed

King Lear: Three Sisters Comparison
... this quote, “What shall Cordelia speak? Love, and be silent.” (1.1.). When this quote is first heard in the play it helps describes Cordelia as a person aware of her conscience. Here she is deciding what she is going to say to her father when he has asked his daughters to profess their love for him and in return receive his land. Just shortly after Cordelia is heard again, “I am sure my love’s / More ponderous than my tongue,” asking herself again what she is going to say. This helps prove the first point of her self-conscience, by Cordelia wondering what she is going to say to her father. This quote also points out her real love for her father, unlike her two ...

The Crucible: John Proctor And John Hale - Good Citizen Vs. Good Person
... most important trait to prove that John Proctor was a good person
was his honesty. In every scene in the play that John Proctor is in, his
commendable honesty stands out. It didn't matter how much trouble he would
bring himself into, his philosophy was “I may speak my heart” (Miller, p.30).
Proctor's honesty eventually lead to his downfall and death.
The first incident in the play where we see Proctor's honesty is after
the affair he had with Abigail. He realized his mistake and was honest and
admitted it to his wife Elizabeth. In the next situation where Proctor is
involved he tells the Reverend Parris why he does not like him, and it also gets
him into ...

The Role Of Duty In William Shakespeare's Hamlet
... went as follows:
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.
(A1, S5,L99-103)
This statement makes it perfectly clear that Hamlet views what he has to do
as a job that he has to do for his father.
In act 2, scene 2 Hamlet meets an actor who easily displays intense emotion
and passion on matters that have just come to his head. Hamlet asks
himself in the soliloquy that followed if he was a coward for not
completing his task yet. This makes it obvious that killing Claudius isn't
something that Ham ...

... volcanoes, what is a volcano? Here are some things I learned in my spine-tingling, exciting and fun-filled class of Nat Sci II!
What is a volcano?
When Volcanoes in the Cascade Range and Alaska erupt, they frequently do so explosively and produce pyroclastic flows, ash falls and "mud" or debris flows (lahars). According to the USGS, "Lahars destroyed houses, bridges, and logging trucks during the May 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens, and have inundated other valleys around Cascade volcanoes during prehistoric eruptions. Lahars at Nevado del Ruiz volcano, Colombia, in 1985, killed more than 23,000 people." Near a volcano, the falling volcanic ash is quite hea ...

Reality Vs. Illusion
... on what is reality and what is an illusion. Illusions can be mistaken
as being reality and very often there is a person making another believe in the
illusion through his/her actions and speech.
The play “Othello” has the greatest example of this and is
easily understood through this example. Iago is a very intelligent man who uses
peoples weaknesses to his advantage. Iago has got to be one of Shakespeare's
most evil characters and he is a character who stands out among all of the
Shakespeare characters. Iago uses his skill to gain revenge and take advantage
of people who he believes deserves this sort of punishment.
