... their dancing in the woods. Mary Warren, John Proctors servant girl, comes in ranting about the town talking about witchcraft, and wants to confess what they have done. Abigail will have none of it. Betty wakes up and she says, “You did, you did! You drank a charm to kill John Proctor’s wife! You drank a charm to kill Goody Proctor!” Abigail: (smashes her across the face). “Shut it! Now shut it!” Betty: (collapsing on the bed). “Mama, Mama!” (she dissolves into sobs.) Abigail: “Now look you. All of you. We danced. And Tituba conjured Ruth Putnam’s dead sisters. And that is all. And mark this. Let either of you breathe a word, or the e ...

... it is difficult to define these terms, it is difficult to tell if people are truly in love. It appears that Romeo and Juliet are more likely lusting for each other rather than loving each other. It also appears that Antony is more in love with the idea of Cleopatra than with the woman herself. This kind of thing is very common. People often think very highly of the person that they met at on vacation, even if the person would not have been right for them. It is more likely that they love the place and the time rather than the person. Antony is also the greatest Roman soldier, and the respect for him by the people is enormous. However, this respect comes dire ...

... originally thought to be of natural causes, it is later revealed to him through his father's ghost, that dear old dad was murdered by his Step-Father, and also his Uncle, Claudius. Vowing revenge upon his Uncle/Dad, Hamlet begins to mentally falter and eventually, is in such a wild rage that he accidentally kills Polonious believing him to be his father. Hilarity ensues. Ophelia, Hamlet's love interest, commits suicide/dies (that's up for debate elsewhere) after going slightly mad from the impact of her father's death, then Laertes, Polonius' son, arrives on the scene enraged and ready to kill Hamlet for what he's done, and just when you thought things couldn't ...

... friend Thomas Searles (Andre Braugher), and a former grave digger Rawlins (Morgan Freeman). Together these men face the adversity of a racist Union Army, struggling to prove themselves worthy of their government issued blue uniforms. After months of training and exploitation for physical labor, the Fifty- fourth gains the opportunity to fight in an attack on Fort Wagner on the beaches of South Carolina. Poised to dispel the belief that blacks would not be disciplined under fire, the Fifty-fourth leads the almost suicidal attack on Ft. Wagner. There Col. Shaw valiantly falls and the Fifty-fourth, suffering great losses, displayed the courage that persuade ...

... the man should simply start a relationship with anot her woman. Benvolio's definition of love shows the audience two things about Ben volio: he is a womanizer and he has never before experienced "true love." The next definition of love comes from Romeo, but before the time he met Juliet. According to his definition, love (or, rather, not returned love) is pain. He h ides from the sun due to the "love" he feels, and does not act like "himself." I believe Romeo is both right and wrong: not returned love is pain, but Romeo doe s not truly love, as he is merely infatuated by a woman. The next definition of love comes from Juliet, who, before meeting Romeo, did ...

... that he speaks in the play are :- "...Give me the map there. Know that we have divided In three our kingdom, and 'tis our fast intent To shake all cares and business from our age, Conferring them on younger strengths while we Unburdened crawl to death..." (Act I, Sc i, Ln 38-41) This gives the reader the first indication of Lear's intent to abdicate his throne. He goes on further to offer pieces of his kingdom to his daughters as a form of reward to his test of love. "Great rivals in our youngest daughter's love, Long in our court have made their amorous sojourn, And here are to be answered. Tell me, my daughters (Since now we will divest us both of rule, Intere ...

... his life from the punishment of murder. Hamlet contemplates many times throughout the play on the value of human life and if he could actually take someone's life. So he keeps doing weird stuff convincing people that he really is crazy. In Act 3 Scene 4 his Mom the Queen says "Alas he is Mad." This shows that his plan is working out so far. During Hamlet's act of playing crazy and planning to kill Claudius it has helped him find the real value of human life. In Hamlets "To Be or not to Be" speech he ponders the value of his own life and the value of Claudius life in retrospective to his own life. He wonders does one murder really warrant another person to die? Now ...

... this cake are brighter flowers and yellow streamers of frosting. This seems like a simpler, less formal cake. Almost one that you would eat without any regard to its significance. Instead of the traditional bridegroom figurine on top of the cake, we have a real live woman in it. She has, of course, blonde hair, which appear to be brown eyes, perfect body, and it just so happens that she is wearing a yellow two piece bikini. Now that we know what these two cakes are, we can judge for ourselves, which seems to be the most appealing to us. Since this is an alcohol ad, I would say that the one to the right, the little Miss Yellow poke-a-dot bikini, would be the more a ...

... The reasons the villains select the people they do for condemnation are both simple and clear. All of the accusers have ulterior motives, such as revenge, greed, and covering up their own behavior. Many of the accusers have meddled in witchcraft themselves, and are therefore doubly to be distrusted. (Warshow 116) The court convicts the victims on the most absurd testimony, and the reader has to wonder how the judges and the townspeople could let such a charade continue. The leading character of the play is John Proctor, a man who often serves as the only voice of reason in the play. He had an affair with Abigail Williams, who later charges his wife with witchc ...

... "In one respect I'll thy assistant be; for this alliance may so happy prove, to turn your households rancour to pure love."(Act 2, Scene 3), he is saying that the only reason he will marry is because he hopes that the marriage will end the hostilities between the two houses. When he says "Shall Romeo by my letters know our drift, and hither shall he come; and he and I shall watch thy waking, and that very night shall Romeo bear thee to Mantua." (Act 4, Scene 1), he tells Juliet how everything will be all right. Unfortunately, for all his good intentions the play still ends in tragedy. Friar Lawrence is a man who is not afraid to take risks when he feels it is nec ...
