... cares for. For example, when he says "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 Romeo and Juliet 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 ...

... his own initiative and at his own expense, Augustus raised an army with which he set free the state. He drove the men who slaughtered his father into exile with a legal order, punishing their crime, and afterwards, when they waged war on the state, Augustus conquered them in two battles. As a man who thought as himself as a courageous man, Augustus was filled with pride while accomplishing all that he did. He remained true to his units and they thought too thought of their leader as a great leader and hero. Some might say he was the best they ever had. All of these characteristics can be seen through the eyes of those who lived during his time. An intellige ...

... that he opposed corporal punishment. He and his brother founded their own school based on transcendentalist principles, but he still wanted to be a poet. His dream came true when Ralph Waldo Emerson invited him to come live with them in Concord. In Walden Thoreau wrote, “Why should we be in such desperate haste to succeed, and in such desperate enterprises? If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away.” Thoreau always did march to a different drummer. “The Con-cord community, already scandalized by Thoreau’s unconven-tional way of life, ...

... marriage "of most wicked speed to incestuous sheets." He expresses his frustration and confusion during his soliloquy in Act 1, Scene 2 after the new King's announcement to his people. Horatio then arrives to tell Hamlet of the 'apparition' that was seen the night before. A figure resembling the Old Hamlet - "these hands are not more like" - appeared outside the castle. This presents concern for Hamlet because he feels that there has been some 'foul play' to cause the appearance of this spirit. In Kenneth Branagh's movie production, Hamlet begins to look through a book about demons. This suggests that Hamlet presumes something unpleasant has taken place. Hamlet in ...

... the "psychological issues" involved. How do two relatively unimportant characters in Shakespeare's play interpret what is going on around them? What is the audience's response? What role do the Players hold in each of the two works? As an authority on Shakespearean works, I would consider Stoppard's play to be very enriching in both the interpretation of as well as the consideration of what role plays in modern society. Aside from that, the play "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead" addresses issues of isolation, sanity, depression, and luck that are not necessarily supposed to be related to . I think that looking deeply into Stoppard's work will reveal m ...

... are esablished severly on the land , they are hared working and good hearted. when there agricultural activities are disrupted, as when the joads are driven from oklahoma in The Grapes of Wrath, or when a seductive woman get in the way of the agricultural dream of lennie and george in Of Mice and Men tragedy and misfortune are often the result. Steinbeck presentd scenes of great crulty and passion in his books, his characters often use profanity beacuse they know no other way of speaking, it's sort of a manerism with them. the reason for this is that profanity is often found inthe speach of illiterate people. Foul language in some groups is as much a conventio ...

... precedent, to catch and correct ourselves so we can live in harmony and peace with others. In the 18th century, the issue of slavery was becoming a hot political issue as well in the United State. Although some people favored the abolition slavery, however the Ku Klux Klan, a group made up of former Confederates, sprang up almost as soon as the slaves were free. The Members of Ku Klux Klan secretly met at night, dress in pointed white hoods and capes, and sought to punish blacks, whether they were innocent or guilty of a crime. They would do such things as violent threats to make them leave their town and even such things as shootings and hangings just because they ...

... stating "I will make her greater still" (p.168 l.210). In this last quote Creon declares that he will improve the city (she) by his rulings. Creon describes how his qualities make him a good ruler and how he would act in different situations. Furthermore, Creon views himself a good leader because he believes he has the best attributes and no one can compare to him. Creon shows his over-confidence when he boasts of his role as the perfect ruler of Thebes. In addition, Creon believes he is always correct in his judgments and his beliefs. Before the sentry even explains the event that has occurred, the sentry states that he is ...

... of black art and culture to further black liberation, but were not militantly political, like, for example, the Black Panthers (Macedo 230). The ideas of the Cultural Nationalists often resulted in the vulgarization of black culture, exemplified in the wearing of robes, sandals, hairspray “natural” style, etc (Cultural Nationalism 1-2). The central theme of the story concerns the way which an individual understands their present life in relation to the traditions of their people and culture. Dee tells her mother and Maggie that they do not understand their "heritage," because they plan to put "priceless" heirloom quilts to "everyday use" (Walker ...

... there were many logical reasons to over-ride her excuses, Jane had to stay true to herself. "I care for myself" (pg. 302) is her primary motive. Jane knew she had to go, or else she would be reminded everyday of the man who she could not have, because of another woman, and in doing so, causing herself a great deal of unnecessary pain. Another example of a common thread between the two works is that neither woman holds a grudge. "I shall have only good to say of you." is what the poem's author declares. Jane feels very much the same, "I had already gained the door; but, reader, I walked back...I knelt down by him; I turned his face from the cushion to me; I k ...
