Romeo And Juliet: Who Is Responsible For The Tragedy? Does Fate Play A Role?
... in the problem solving process is to assess who is to blame for the tragedy. To do this we must first determine the different types of roles played in a conflict. There are 5 main roles; there is cause, an instigator, retaliator, passivist, and moderator.
The first is the cause, which can be a person or thing, that starts everything, and sometimes people don’t even realize that they are playing this part. In Romeo and Juliet, one of the causes is the ancient feud between the families. Tybalt says “What, drawn and talk of peace? I hate the word, as I hate hell, all Montagues and thee.” (1.1.61-62)
The second is the instigator, who is usually very mean, and ...

Macbeth’S Changing Fears
... considered doing some of the things that he will do later in the play. The killing of Duncan causes a great transformation in Macbeth. Before the murder of Duncan Macbeth was very innocent and good hearted. After the murder Macbeth becomes almost evil in his quest for power and the control of his fate. This transformation is most evident in two passages spoken by Macbeth. The first passage is in Act I and the second is in Act III.
In the first passage Macbeth says:
This supernatural soliciting
Cannot be ill, cannot be good. If ill,
Why hath it given me earnest of success,
Commencing in a truth? I am Thane of Cawdor:
If good, why do I yield to that suggest ...

Advertiser Influence On The Media: Censorship And The Media
... and most of the book business is controlled by fewer than a dozen companies, with major categories like paperback and trade books dominated by still fewer firms . In this environment the usual democratic expectation for the media -- diversity of ownership and ideas -- has disappeared as the goal of official policy and, worse, as a daily experience of a generation of American readers and viewers.
Narrowing the diversity of news coverage even further is the ever-looming presence of the advertiser or corporate supporter. Advertisers have pressured more than 90 percent of U.S. newspapers to change or kill stories, reported a recent study by Marquette University's D ...

A Separate Peace: Comparison And Contrast Between Book And Movie
... boys schools, but Devon had a casual air about it. Wellton is a
completely different story, at Wellton, or Hellton as the natives call it,
everything is work. No radios are allowed inside of Wellton, and the rules
are strict. Not to mention the fact that the Dean of students is evilly
cruel, and willing to deal out a severe beating or expulsion to anyone who
disobeys him. While at Devon the Dean of students isn't said to be as evil
as the dean of Hellton. At Devon the course of study is not as rigorous as
the classes the students of Wellton take.
Although both of the schools are boys schools, they have very
different occurrences. While one student fr ...

... the
community and causing people to turn against each other and all principles they
once believed in.
Abigail and the girls deny everything. Part od their denial is accusation. By
shifting the blame onto someone else, they believe that they will not be held
accountable for their own sins. Abigail manipulates her way through the play,
and even after Mary Warren confessed that the whole story was a pretense,
Abigail continues manipulating the court room and the people within it with
antics of ‘a wind, a cold wind' and ‘Oh Heavenly Father, take away this shadow'.
In the end she is adamant to convince the court that they were only involved
with witchcraft because ...

Ross, "a disloyal traitor". The thane of Cawdor was greedy, and wanted the
throne of England for himself, and as a result was murdered. But his
murder wasn't really disheartening, because the Thane of Cawdor, deserved
his fate. He was leading a battle, in which many lost their lives, for the

was murdered, because in order for MacBeth to fulfill his plan and become

trusting. For example, he thought that none of his friends could really be

Is Hamlet Insane Or Not Insane? That Is The Question
... murder” (Shakespeare 72).
This puts the play into full action and Hamlet puts his intelligence to work. He formulates a plan “to put an antic disposition on” (82) in order to move about the castle to get information about Claudius in order to avenge his father’s death. This is a truly ingenious plan in order for Hamlet to gain what he needs.
He has made believers out of those around him that he is mad (when actually is not). Polonius says to Ophelia “That [rejected love from her] hath made him mad” (94). The king, however has a different opinion that “since nor th’ exterior nor the inward man resembles that what it was. What it should be, more than his ...
