... 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 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.

... 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 ...

... 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 ...

... 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 ...

... 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.

... 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 ...

... 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 ...
