... and if Hamlet was to kill him, Claudius would go to heaven and Hamlet wants him to rot in hell. "Hamlet: No might I do it pat, now he is praying; And now I’ll do’t: and so he goes to heaven: And so am I revenged. That would be scann’d: A villain kills my father; and, for that, I, his sole son, do this same villain send To heaven. O, this is hire and salary, not revenge. He took my father grossly, full of bread, With all his crimes broad blown, as flush as May; And how his audit stands who knows save heaven?" (Sha ...

... a rent the envious Casca made: Through this the well-beloved Brutus stabb'd." When Antony showed us visual evidence of the bloody treason, and when he said the words "beloved" and "Brutus" together I sought revenge. I am furious, and detest Brutus. I hit myself on the head, for respecting him, and thinking of him as an honorable man. How foolish I had been! Tears come to my eyes, as I see the dead corpse of the most exquisite man that had ever existed. It was after all of this, that the crowd of Roman citizens is truly enraged. We chant: "...Burn! Fire! Kill! Slay! Let not a traitor live!". I am not going to let any of the conspirators get away. They killed the ...

... All humans have free will and moral choice--no human can behave as a machine. This point is lost to those who are denied the final chapter of A Clockwork Orange. Chapter 20 ends with Alex saying "I was cured all right." These are the last words of the book in the American version. There is no indication that Alex will change from the evil life it appears he will soon resume. It is implied to the reader that Alex is destined for a life of evil and there is nothing he can do to change it. Alex has no free will or moral choice. The theme of the 20 chapter version is that there is no such thing as free will or moral choice. Alex is evil and he has no ability to ch ...

... of Romeo and Juliet to be happy, everlasting and for it to bring peace to the civil feud between the families. Although he is not seen very much during the play, Friar Laurence's role is a highly important one. In Romeo and Juliet there are three main events, the marriage, the plan and the death, that relate to him. One of the most true and sensible things told to Romeo by the Friar, was a forewarning to the hastiness of the wedding; These violent delights have violent ends And in their triumphs die, like fire and powder Which as they kiss, consume. The sweetest honey Is loathsome in its own deliciousness And in the taste confounds the appetite Therefor lo ...

... divine spark in each individual and a belief in the goodness of man. Transcendalists emphasized feeling over reason and that the human has faculties to transcend experiences, i.e. to go beyond the senses. They looked at Jesus Christ as an example of that human potential. They were to follow the inner conscience, even if driven through conscience, to defy the state. It built on the principles of individualism, self reliance, strength and confidence to strike out on own. They were critical of government, laws, social institutions, debasing commercialism and whatever kept humans from reaching their highest potential. They took a PollyAnna attitude that everything ...

... publishers who declined to publish in Britain and America did so because they considered there was no market for “children’s books”. MAIN CHARACTERS: The novel is a satire on the Russian revolution, and therefore full of symbolism. General Orwell associates certain real characters with the characters of the book. Mr Jones: Mr. Jones is Orwell's chief (or at least most obvious) villain in Animal Farm. Mr. Jones symbolizes (in addition to the evils of capitalism) Czar Nicholas II, the leader before Stalin (Napoleon). Jones represents the old government, the last of the Czars. Orwell suggests that Jones (Czar Nicholas II) was losing his "edge". In fact, he and hi ...

... the struggle amid reason and emotion, or lack there of. Mrs. Bennet's motivation in marrying Mr. Bennet is knowing that he will be able to provide for her with his wealth. Their marriage is extremely dull since the two cannot even communicate with each other. "Mr. Bennet was so odd a mixture of quick parts, sarcastic humour, reserve, and caprice, that the experience of three and twenty years had been insufficient to make his wife understand his character" (Austen 5). In fact, Mr. Bennet entertains himself with witty comments that Mrs. Bennet can never seem to comprehend. For example, when one of the Bennet's daughters, Kitty, is coughing, Mrs. Bennet f ...

... when James’ father is away. James’ mother, Octavia, is a very proud woman. Her pride has an effect on James’ life. She does not accept any form of charity. An old woman offers Octavia and James some food, but Octavia declines the offer until James does some chores for the woman. James had to work instead of getting a free meal because his mother would not let him accept charity. Octavia tried to purchase some salt meat from the old woman but makes the woman cut the offered chunk of meat in half because Octavia thinks the portion of meat that the woman offers is an act of charity on the old woman’s behalf. Taking the portion of meat that the woman offered ...

... to the moment of action…because the initiative in moving the parts of the body which act as instruments rests with the agent himself” (p.53). So, a voluntary action is one about which we have power. Such as, what to eat in the morning, brushing teeth or even life altering decisions about jobs and marriage. Most of our everyday actions are voluntary, since we do not often act outside our realm of power. Aristotle tends to agree that most actions are voluntary and from this fact comes much of the praise we receive for our actions, “…sometimes people are even praised for doing them [voluntary actions], for example, if they endured shameful or painful treatmen ...

... common in America, It was the British that first started the slave trade. The slaves were promised the chance of a new life and promised that they would become 'good people' and Christians. They were often falsely promised education and freedom if they would leave their homelands. However, the promises where rarely delivered. People in Britain often get angry with the number of immigrants entering the UK. People and groups that are against immigrants usually claim that immigrants are taking jobs from them, these people usually have a poor knowledge and understanding of history and are unaware of why Britain has so many immigrants. After World War II Britain had th ...
