The Crucible: John Proctor
... of blemishes.
Proctor also fought the court trying to keep them from convicting his spouse
even though nobody else would dare to do. Another quality that made him brave
was when he confessed to the court that he had an affair with Abigail just to
save his life.
That John Proctor is brave, is obvious but ha can also be very extreme
at some times. An instance of Proctor's extremity was when he shouted, "I say -
I say - God is dead!"(Pg. 119), and that he will see all of them burn in hell.
That statement implied to the court that Proctor worshipped the Devil and
committed perjury. When Proctor tore the warrant issued for the arrest of
Elizabeth showed his ability to ...

Hamlet: "To Be Insane Or Not To Be Insane That Tis The Question"
... said to Ophelia:
You should not have believed me;
for virtue cannot so inoculate our
old stock but we shall relish of it.
I loved you not. ... Get thee
to a nunnery!...Go thy ways to a nunnery.
(Sc.I 125)
Here we can see that Hamlet had told Ophelia earlier in the scene how deeply he
loved her, but here he has changed completely, saying that he had never loved
her. With in this quote he slips in that Ophelia should go to a nunnery. This
is his just cause for his maddness. He tries to get Ophelia to forget him and
go to the nunnery so that she can be safe, and away from all his troubles that

Macbeth: Decisions That Determined Fate
... begins to wonder if he, one day, will become king. "Glamis and Thane of Cawdor! The greatest is behind" (Act I scene 3 line 133). The truth in this prophecy leads MacBeth to ill thoughts as to what is in store for him and how he can achieve becoming king. King Duncan names his son, Malcolm, heir to the Scottish throne. This action reduces the chance for MacBeth to become king. Macbeth decides, "The Prince of Cumberland! That is a step on which I fall down, or else o'er leap..." (Act I scene 4 line 55). This delineates MacBeth's character and begins to show his ill feelings as to how he will act on these prophecies. King Duncan is invited to MacBeth's castle ...

Blindness In Oedipus
... those who are blind at length do have a higher vision – the truth.
Oedipus was born into the prophecy that he would murder his father and wed his mother. In an attempt to avoid this fate, his parents, Laius and Jocasta, sent him into the mountains to die. However, a shepherd saved and gave him to Polybus and Merope. When he learned of his prophecy, he fled, under the assumption that they were his real parents. While fleeing, he encountered Laius and killed him. He correctly answered the riddle of the Sphinx, finally became the king of Thebes, and later married Jocasta. Oedipus fulfilled the prophecy without even knowing it. Thebes now had to endure a plagu ...

Powder: Questions
... Such as the
passing of death from the dying deer to the sheriff who shot him for sport.

distinguished him from the rest of society in which he lived in. Although he was
persecuted, beaten, and ridiculed at. He understood his characteristics and

sort of violence to resolve problems. Jeremy would speak his wo ...

... on his hands decides
to treat Sly as a nobleman and see how he reacts. In addition to ordering his
servants to treat Sly as their master, he too pretends to be a servant. The
most amusing part of this induction occurs when Sly becomes convinced that he is
indeed a nobleman. When he first awakes, he thinks that everyone is playing a
joke on him. After some convincing, Sly gives in and believes that he really
was suffering from a long sickness. When Sly asks the page, who is pretending
to be his wife to undress and join him in bed, the audience must have reacted
with loud laughter knowing that his ‘wife' is actually the same sex as he.
Although Sly does not un ...

"Twelve Angry Men": Reasonable Doubt
... alone is strong. He is the only man voting not guilty. His opinion is reasonable; he feels that there is no way to prove it was the boy, saying the testimonies given were shaky. The others do not agree on this, arguing that the boy comes from a slum and one can't expect more from someone with this upbringing. Eight goes into the case assuming the boy is innocent, while the others attribute guilt to him. He first brings in a knife directly like the one used in the killing, to prove that it was not one of a kind. He discounts the testimony of the old man, saying it was impossible for him to hear the boy scream over the roar of the passing El-train. He also make ...
