... inability to see beyond himself. An example of this inability occurs in the opening scene, when Gloucester is talking with Kent about his bastard son, Edmund. He does not seem to be able to understand how what he is saying affects Edmund. Gloucester tells Kent that he has an older son, “by order of law” (legitimate), and then he jokes about how Edmund “came saucily to the world before he was sent for.” When watching the play, the viewer sees Edmund’s reaction to his father’s description, and he definitely does not look happy. Even though Gloucester knows his two sons, he believes the worst of Edgar, and what Edmund says, all too easily. I would think that ...

... and friend, Sir Andrew, a foolish knight that has been brought to the castle as a suitor to Olivia. Sir Andrew says he is going to leave, but Sir Toby persuades him not to, as Olivia is not interested in the Duke. Maria leaves, and Andrew and Toby dance.

Her first job is to try and persuade Olivia to go out with the Duke. Viola has fallen in love with the Duke. Scene Five Maria and Feste the clown are talking when Olivia enters with Malvolio.

... to marry Bianca. Some would say that the story has a very sexist attitude, but the fact of the matter is that it is a comedy about an assertive woman dealing with how she is expected to act in the society of the late sixteenth century. Even further, Katherine is learning how she must follow the unwritten rules of her society in order to be accepted into it. Although the play ends with her acceptance to do what is expected by society this acceptance is only in action. Even though, she plays the part of the obedient wife, she still maintains her assertiveness, but now she just keeps it inside. Shakespeare introduces the idea of false realities in the beginning of ...

... man, whose virtues endure. "No not an oath, If not by the face of men, the sufferance of our souls, the time's abuse-If these motives be weak, break off betimes, and every men hence to his idle bed; So let high sighted tyranny rage on, till each man drop by lottery" (Shakespeare 399). Brutus said that if the conspirators do not join for a common cause, then there is no need for an oath because the conspirators are self-righteous, and they are serving the romans. If the conspirators don't bind together, then each man will go his own way, become a weakling, and die when it suits the tyrants caprice. Brutus is advocates peace, freedom and liberty, for all romans, whi ...

... deceiving things Iago said was that "Desdemona is directly in love with him"2; him being Michael Cassio. As readers, we know that this is completely untrue even from the beginning. In Act 1 Scene 3 Line 292, Desdemona says "I love him," and goes on demanding, "Let me go with him"3 ; she was talking about Othello and traveling with him to Cyprus. "The Long Spoon" is an Irish folk tale that because of its Catholic roots has the devil included in it. "The Long Spoon" depicts the Devil as no less deceiving, but instead of leading a jilted lover to believe that two others are in love, he convinces a hearth-money collector that the two of them were going out for nothin ...

... complexity of motives. For example, his fighting in Duncan's service is magnificent and courageous, and his evident joy in it is traceable in art to the natural pleasure which accompanies the explosive expenditure of prodigious physical energy and the euphoria which follows. He also rejoices no doubt in the success which crowns his efforts in battle - and so on. He may even conceived of the proper motive which should energize back of his great deed: The service and the loyalty I owe, In doing it, pays itself. But while he destroys the king's enemies, such motives work but dimly at best and are obscured in his consciousness by more vigorous urges. In the main, as ...

... first word. The ‘aw' sound is repeated at the beginning and three times during the next sentence, “And all the men and women merely players;” (2.7.140). The next sentence is lower in pitch, using a lower ‘ e' sound “..exit and their entrances,” (2.7.141). Reappearing in the final two sentences, before the actual ages begin, is the ‘aw' sound. The fluctuation like that of a ring master, is striving to gain attention before the show starts. The first three stages can be considered the childhood progressing into adulthood stages. “Mewling and puking...” (2.7.144), are two words, which when said, they are slurred and unclear, much like that of the speech of an in ...

... opinions grow and interfere with the flow of the institution's rules and regulations, and friction is made between the authorities and the patients. McMurphy strives to overcome the head nurse, Nurse Ratchet, and finds himself understanding the mentalities of the others in the ward. This movie's theme is about insanity and how people on "the other side" of the wall view the term "insanity". In chapter two of out text, the term "society" is defined as a group of people that share a culture and common identity. This society is present when McMurphy is admitted to the institution, but he changes it by developing relationships with the other patients. This can be d ...

... and works at Harvard University as a janitor. He wears ragged clothes and does not seem to have very much money. But he seems content with his station in life, he does not whine and complain about working as a janitor, and later as a construction worker, he feels at home and comfortable with what he does. It is as if, that is what he was meant to do. The other type of work that is shown in the movie is the educated type of work. In this paragraph, I will show how the movie portrays educated work. Educated work is the work of scholars, people who have graduated college, the educated people. These people will have the best jobs, the biggest houses, and the ni ...

... shy girl that idolized Margo. She claimed to attend all the preformaces of the play that week due to the fact that she adored Margo and she would have nowhere else to go anyway. Doing this allowed Eve to get her foot in the door. If it wasn't for Margo's conceitedness, Eve would have had to work a little bit harder to get this. Margo took her into her home. Margo's secretary-aid, Birdie (Thelma Ritter), was the first to sense something was strange about Eve, but her position made it not her place to speak her mind. Eve knew this and also knew it would be easy to take control of her position because of this. It would only seem to Margo that she enjoyed ...
