.... Shakespeare foreshadows Macbeth's corruption through his meeting with these three witches. (I,iii). His thoughts are compared to Banquo's, whose morality, it seems, will not let himself turn to evil. Banquo is skeptical of the witches, and tries to warn his friend, who seems to accept what they say. Without this supernatural prophesy, the thought of killing the king would have never crossed Macbeth's mind. The thought is then reinforced when Macbeth learns that he is Thane of Cawdor, as the witches foretold (I,iii). Now that Macbeth has the thought of .....

We are arrant knaves, all; believe none of us... * Act 3 Scene 1 One minute Hamlet tells Ophelia that “I did love you once.”1 Then in his next line he says “I loved you not.”2 This quick change in moods suggests that he was mad. Hamlet: Nay, but to live In the rank sweat of an enseamed bed, Stew'd in corruption, hon .....

.... shall be kings. (Banquo)You shall be king. (Macbeth)And thane of Cawdor, too" (I. iii, 86-88). Here we can see for ourselves that Macbeth has trusted the witches from word one and does not even think to question what they have told him. Not too much later, Macbeth discovers that the thane of Cawdor has been killed for crimes against Duncan and he is named thane of Cawdor. "Glamis, and thane of Cawdor! The greatest is behind!" (I. iii,116-117). This fulfillment of the first part of the witches prophecies seals his trust in them and drives him to his next .....

.... and the villian of another. He is the hero by avenging his fathers death, while being the villian by killing Polonious and causing Ophellia's insanity. Her insanity being caused by Hamlet's murder of her father is proven when she sings "He is dead and gone lady, he is dead and gone, at his head a green grass turf, at his haed a stone." (Shakespeare, 383) Hamlet is also faced with the awareness of evil and longs for death, being disgusted with life. He thinks that life is manifested in sex, which he sees as not only the force that creates more life .....

.... provoking information. Hamlet knows not whether to trust the spirit or disregard what he has been told. "… the devil hath power T'assume a pleasing shape" Hamlet thought that the spirit may be trying to mislead him in the quest to find his father's killer. Characters of the play become unsure of their intentions due to the odd twists of fortune that they are dealt. Characters in the play that were so sure of their decisions became uncertain. This uncertainty arises when the plans of characters are somehow altered. The alterations change the fate of many charac .....

.... maid. You push in everywhere"(21). From the start it is apparent that Dorine is an outspoken character, and by doing this she is clearly putting herself out on a limb because she is dissimilar to the other women of her time. I believe that it is here that Moliere foreshadows the importance of Dorine's a character. Later on in the play she will play a crucial role in saving Mariane, her counterpart, from marrying Tartuffe, and ultimately saving Orgon's family by bringing about plans to reveal Tartuffe's manipulative and deceitful character. It is important that .....

Nature didn’t stop with cold weather however, it brought upon storms and even an earthquake: Some say the earth Was feverous and did shake. (65) The earth shaking symbolizing the humans fear and shock of the recent events. Not only did the murder effect Macbeth (and nature of course) and people close to the King, it effected the whole kingdom. An old-man talks about his experiences and reactions to the death. He makes a connection to nature when he talks about the .....

.... an unfortunate resolution. The social implications of these plays allowed the playwright to convey a message to the peasantry in the audience on how to act. Shakespeare utilized this power and showed the lower classes what would result due to their actions. The commoners in A Midsummer Night's Dream are horrible actors that don't have a clue. The only commoner that shows any sense is Quince, who directs the whole bunch (which is probably Shakespeare blowing his own horn, as all directors believe they are intelligent). Bottom is a prima donna who hams everything .....
