... women were discriminated. against. This simple fact affects the whole play's outcome. A young woman by the name of Nora is under the control of her husband. He feels that he must rule her for he is the head of the family. He would place small stipulations on her such as not being able to eat macaroons. When she would make mistakes, he would refer to her by some little name like, "Lark" or "Squirrel." All of these things mentioned ar due to the setting. This caused Nora to want to leave more and more. I believe Ibsen picked this setting to tell of how women were treated. ...

... the respected people were hung, the village realized something was wrong. A short time later, the court was thrown out, and there were no more hangings. In less than a year, a total of nineteen men and women we re hung because of the paranoia and fear during the Salem witch trials. The Puritans were a very proper and dignified society. Dancing was considered evil and was something only the savages did. It was punishable by whipping. In Act One, the girls were deciding whether to tell the truth about what happened in the woods. Mary Warren said to Abigail, “Abby, we've got to tell. Witchery's a hangin' error, a hangin' like they done in Boston two year ago! ...

... inability to form a solid opinion about role-playing. This difficulty is not present, however, at the start of the play. In the first act, Hamlet appears to be very straightforward in his actions and inner state. When questioned by Gertrude about his melancholy appearance, Hamlet says, "Seems, madam? Nay it is. I know not 'seems.' (1.2.76). This is to say "I am what I appear to be." Later In Act I, Hamlet makes a clear statement about his state when he commits himself to revenge. In this statement the play makes an easy to follow shift. This shift consists of Hamlet giving up the role of a student and mourning son. Hamlet says, "I'll wipe away all trivial fond recor ...

... them they need to go for it before it is too late. To seize the day, or Carpe Dium, one must not let anything pass them by. In the movie, Knox Overstreet seizes the day by taking a chance and calling Chris, the girlfriend of Chet Dannenberry, to ask her on a date. Instead she asked him to 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 Per ...

... to it. The three witches called the weird sisters are the root of the problem that is the subject for this story. The weird sisters are creators of chaos by nature. They associate with evil spirits and obey them, and they are followers of the evil goddess, Hecate. In the play the witches, with their spells, plan the downfall of Macbeth. They cannot directly harm him themselves, so they tell Macbeth predictions for his possible future, in order to make him act on them. The witches tell Macbeth that he will become the thane of Cawdor and then king of Scotland. They poison his mind with these prophesies, making him greedy and bringing out the evil qualities in his so ...

... over not being able to completely watch the episode, that I threw a childish tantrum by crying and yelling at my poor mother. I later began buying The Transformers action figures; which were developed by Hasbro from the television series. Over the years, I accumulated a collection of about thirty different characters; which I still have stored in my room. I don't think I could ever get rid of them. Also, each Transformer came with a stat card on the back of the box he was sold in that described his various skills and attributes. I used to always cut these stat cards from the back of the boxes, and tape them onto large sheets; which I hung on my b ...

... "Unhappy that I am, I cannot heave my heart into my mouth. I love your Majesty according to my bond, no more no less."(I,i, ln 91-93) Lear becomes enraged and casts her off saying, "Here I disclaim all my paternal care, propinquity and property of blood, and as a stranger to my heart and me hold this from thee for ever."(I,i, ln 113-116). Some think that Cordelia was prideful, or even a fool in her response, but I believe she was simply being honest and true. Another mistake that was made in the course of the play was by the Earl of Gloucester. After being tricked by his bastard son, Edmund, into believing that his other son, Edgar, was plotting to kill him, ...

... and appreciated his effort in war by giving the title “Thane of Cawdor” to “noble Macbeth”. A pronouncement made by three witches that Macbeth will be King , served as the primary catalyst for the development of evil in Macbeth’s heart. Macbeth struggles with the choice, should he let the witches prophecies realize themselves, or should he take steps to achieve them. Under the cloaking shadows of his skins, Macbeth hides his one weakness-that is ambition. His wife knows of his ambition and stirs to act on it. She calls him a “coward” and states that in killing the King, Macbeth will “be so much more than man.” Macbeth relents, telling his wife to “mock ...

... we could have avoided another witch hunt, but of course being human we could not. The ultimate message in The Crucible seems missed by the masses, we still blindly accuse others of pseudo-crimes, and follow wholeheartedly and blindly, when others accuse. Is it perhaps simple human nature to fear and hate that which we do not know? Is the human race, as a whole, really this close to the swamps and oceans from which we pulled ourselves? Has evolution really just played some sort of immense prank on us, bestowing upon us the gifts of reason and judgment, but blurring them with prejudice and blind hatred? (Too many question...Not enough answers... Isn't that alw ...
