Macbeth-tragic Hero
... but without
The illness should attend it.
(1.5, 14-18 )
Lady Macbeth then discusses the issue of killing Duncan with her husband. He first disagrees but then approves of the idea. Lady Macbeth wins largely by appealing to Macbeth's valour. This proves that Macbeth was greatly influenced by his wife and that she toyed him around using his only weakness- his vaulting ambition. As Schucking talks about Shakespeare's tragic heroes:
He creates a hero such as Macbeth, who is a moral coward
and for a while a henpecked husband, who in critical moments
is rebuked like a schoolboy by his wife and who, on the other
hand, proves himself a lion on the batt ...

The Tragedy Of Hamlet
... avoided, and in a tragedy the
sad part is that it could. Hamlet's death could have been
avoided many times. Hamlet had many opportunities to kill
Claudius, but did not take advantage of them. He also had
the option of making his claim public, but instead he chose
not too. A tragic hero doesn't need to be good. For
example, MacBeth was evil, yet he was a tragic hero, because
he had free will. He also had only one flaw, and that was
pride. He had many good traits such as bravery, but his
one bad trait made him evil. Also a tragic hero doesn't
have to die. While in all Shakespearean tragedies, the hero
dies, in others he ma ...

Sexuality And Gender Role
... as common name, everybody could know the baby's gender. To reduce the stereotype of the gender was a very important factor to their experiment. They prepared some toys - both for boys and girls - for X. X liked both of them. X liked to play with the robots, a truck or small cars. Also, X liked to play with a doll, too. Whenever somebody asked the gender of X to X's parents, they said just "X'. No one could know X's gender except X's parents and some scientists. About 5 years later, X became the age for school. X's parents and scientists considered the appearance of X. They cut X's hair. It was little bit longer than other boys, but shorter than other girl ...

Lord Byron

was known as a romantic, fascinating figure to his fellow Englishmen. In our current century his reputation has dwindled to merely being known as a poet. His childhood was colorful to say the least. There is much evidence to suggest mental instabilit

Julius Caesar - Analysis Of Ca
... man, whose virtues endure. "No not an oath, If not by the face of men, the sufferance of our souls, the time's abuse-If these motives be weak, break off betimes, and every men hence to his idle bed; So let high sighted tyranny rage on, till each man drop by lottery" (Shakespeare 399). Brutus said that if the conspirators do not join for a common cause, then there is no need for an oath because the conspirators are self-righteous, and they are serving the romans. If the conspirators don't bind together, then each man will go his own way, become a weakling, and die when it suits the tyrants caprice. Brutus is advocates peace, freedom and liberty, for all romans, ...

Emily Dickinson
... allegory and symbolism, which is the reason for the complication in her poems because allegory and symbolism contradict each other (Diehl 18, 19). Dickinson did not name most of her poems. She named twenty-four of her poems, of which twenty-one of the poems were sent to friends. She set off other people’s poetry titles with quotation marks, but only capitalized the first word in her titles. Many critics believe she did not title most of her poetry because she was not planning on publishing her work. As Socrates said, “the knowledge of things is not devised from names… no man would like to put himself or the education of his mind in the power o ...

Review Of John Updike's Review "It Was Sad"
... recall
of the event. It seems that the ships crew and the lower class passengers were
the most courageous in the eventful two and half hours it took for the ship to
totally go under. He provides quotes from the various selections, one being the
statistics of death, by class. These statistics show that, in actuality, more
of the upper class passengers survived than the lower classes (by both
percentage, and total people).
Updike also examines, in depth, the cultural effect of the sinking of the
Titanic. The thought that a ship declared unsinkable going down on its first
voyage was at the very least, shocking to the public. Who could look at
invention and prog ...

Was Prince Hamlet Wacko
... clarified, in the first act, by statements and feelings expressed within his dialogue. When asked about his depressed appearance and demeanor by Gertrude, Hamlet replies, "Seems, madam? Nay, it is. I know not "seems" (1037, line 76). This relates the idea that Hamlet is 'what he appears to be'. Later, he clearly makes a statement about his mental health when he commits himself to avenge his father's murder. This quote allows the reader to follow Hamlet's train of thought in regards to his role as student, mourning son, and Prince to the throne:
"I'll wipe away all trivial fond records, All saws of books, all forms, all pressures past That youth and observatio ...

Yosano Akiko
... So she must be dissapointed in her son for wanting to go. I think the mother is really worried because in line 32, it tells how her white hair increases. That's either a sign of aging or worrying too much about her son dying.
The brother has been married for ten months. Akiko reminds her brother of the misery and pain he will put his wife and mother through if he dies, and how it will be hard for them to continue life without him.
I think the reason the brother wants to go and fight in the war is because he wants to be remembered as a great fighter of a war. Like in line 22, it says, "In death is your glory," the brother knows the consequences of going o ...

Young Goodman Brown 3
... so, he leaves his unquestionable faith in God with his wife. He resolves that he will "cling to her skirts and follow her to Heaven." This is an example of the excessive pride because he feels that he can sin and meet with the Devil because of this promise that he made to himself. There is a tremendous irony to this promise because when Goodman Brown comes back at dawn; he can no longer look at his wife with the same faith he had before.
When Goodman Brown finally meets with the Devil, he declares that the reason he was late was because "Faith kept me back awhile." This statement has a double meaning because his wife physically prevented him from being on time ...
