The Crucible: Reverend John Hale - A Dynamic Character
... means: In the name of the lord of hosts and his son get
thee to the lower world. This shows reverend Hales views on witchery.
Another example of Hale's character and his savings of witches is when he
said, “Now Tituba, I know that when we bind ourselves to Hell it is very
hard to break with it. We are going to help you tear yourself free-”
The point when Reverend Hale begins to change is in Act III during
the trial of John Proctor. “I am a minister of the lord, and I dare not
take a life without there be a proof so immaculate no slightest qualm of
conscience may doubt it.” He starts to doubt if the very thing that he
searches to rid the people of might be a l ...

Romeo And Juliet: Fate
... Romeo goes to find Rosaline at
Capulets party yet fate leads him to meet Juliet. He wants the outside power
that rules his life to "steerage [his] course and direct [his] sail" (Act 1,
Scene 5, Pg. 403) for he thinks that fate will lead him in the right direction.
The vision Romeo sees in his dream "that his lady found him dead" (Act IV, Scene
I, Pg. 463) foreshadows that fate brings Romeo to his death. Likewise, Juliet's
life and her relationships are predetermined by fate. Juliet goes to the party
to meet Paris yet fate brings Romeo and Juliet together on first sight which
intensifies the deadly conflict between the Montague's and the Capulets.
Finding Romeo dead ...

Exploring Sexuality In "Taming Of The Shrew"
... How mean you that? No mates for you unless you were of a
gentler, milder, mold" (I,i, lines 58 - 60). From this it is clear that the men
in the play prefer a better "mold" than Kate, in other words, she does not carry
herself as well as Bianca. Kate does not play the coy flirting games, and is
therefore thought of as harsher than Bianca.
Bianca, however, knows how to be flirtatious, witty, and coy around her
admirers, and yet is almost intentionally mean to Kate. For instance, Bianca
knows that it hurts Kate to have no suitors while she (Bianca) has several.
Bianca uses this to hurt Kate. When Kate tries to find out which suitor Bianca
really likes, Bianca s ...

Macbeth: An Overview
... before all of this occurred, being very
stable mentally and being a hero in the eyes of his countrymen on the
battlefield. All of this changes as the play progresses.
The “angel” on one of his shoulders is telling him how kind this male
ruler has been to him and the country of Scotland. The little “greedy devil” on
his other shoulder that wants to be King finally overcomes the “angel.” His
mind finally warrants him the justification to kill King Duncan. He has deep
regret for what he has done shortly thereafter. The murder of the King is the
first to slowly break down his now fragile emotional state. He feels that after
murdering the King, he has given his mind a ...

Macbeth: Imagery
... is
constantly represented symbolically as the wearer of robes not belonging to
him. He is wearing an "undeserved dignity." A crucial point in describing
the purpose of clothing in `Macbeth' is the fact that these are not his
garments. Therefore, Macbeth is uncomfortable in them because he is
continually conscious of the fact that they do not belong to him. In the
following passage, the idea constantly recurs that Macbeth's new honours
sit ill upon him, like a loose and badly fitting garment, belonging to
someone else:
New honours come upon him,
Like our strange garments, cleave not to their mould,
But with the aid of use.
(1.3.144)
The second, most imp ...

Macbeth: Imagery Of Animal Behavior And Class Status Advances
... In addition the rat is veer low on the chain of being.
The next passage is Act 1 sc. 7 line 49. In this passage Lady Macbeth
is quoted saying “like the poor cat I ‘th' adage” (1, vii., 49). That means “
the cat who eats fish but will not get his feet wet ” (Folgers, p 40). Lady
Macbeth is telling Macbeth that he is like the cat because he wants to become
king but he won't get his hands bloody. However Lady Macbeth would find someone
else to get their feet wet, someone to do her dirty work.
In act 2 scene 4 line 15, the old man and Ross talk about the recent
murder. The old man says that the killer, an owl made sure no one was looking
and attacked the falcon ...

Use Of Contrasts In Act I Of The Tempest
... his actions and thus made him
the opposite of Ariel. He even tried to rape Miranda once, but was stopped by
Prospero in the process. In fact, it might even be safe to say that Caliban was
anti-Ariel, being slow, stupid, and lazy.
Gonzalo and Ferdinand were also contrasted in this act. In Act I, scene
I lines 28-33, Gonzalo made fun of the boatswain by saying that he didn't look
like the type to drown, instead he resembled more of the type to be hanged.
Thus implying that no one on the ship would drown. This gesture by Gonzalo
showed that he was an optimistic person. On the other hand, after landing on
the island in Act I, scene ii, Ferdinand grew worry of h ...

Teletubbies!
... stand things the way that older children and adults do and the shows writers realize this and mold the show around this. Making the whole experience completely different and special for them. Adults find the show redundant in the actions and words of the characters but children after hearing or seeing something done repeatedly will learn that word or action, and do to the repetitiveness of the things said it encourages the children to pay attention to what people say.
As far as the characters go they’re strange to but promote self-esteem and individuality. Showing that people are different and will be different and can live amongst each other peacefully. I al ...

King Lear: Justice
... of
justice. Lear's kingdom turns to chaos because of a break in the "Great
Chain of Being" and restores to order when justice prevails. Its tragic
labelling stems from the prevalence of death the just punishment for many
of its characters. The deaths of Lear, Goneril, and Edmund are prime
examples of justice prevailing for evil, and in Lear's case unnatural, acts.
Lear's ultimate fate is death. His early demise is a direct result of
breaching the "Great Chain of Being" which states that no mortal will
abandon his position in the hierarchy of ranking set by God. Lear's
intention of abdicating his throne is apparent from the outset and is seen
in the followi ...
