.... who in the end comes out on top. Alex, whose last name is not mentioned in the book, is a violent, aggressive teenager of fifteen, who is the leader of a four-person gang. He truly enjoys violence, reveling in the sight of blood or weapons. Alex's love of hate is not simply a rebellious emotion, but as he explains, it is his very nature, and he could not change it if he wanted to. Despite his passion for what most see as ugly and disgusting, Alex does have a great appreciation for classical music, especially Beethoven. Alex's main conflicts are both .....

.... him more guilty of the crime. Lady Macbeth just talked about committing the crime, but she never actually went through with it nor would she ever, and that is all that counts. Talking about committing the incident is very different from actually doing it. Lady Macbeth did a little more than just talk about it though. She also urged Macbeth into doing it and that is what makes her part of this crime, but she is not as guilty as Macbeth. He really didn't have to listen to what his wife said. Macbeth had a mind of his own and he could make his own decision .....

.... how what he is saying affects Edmund. Gloucester tells Kent that he has an older son, “by order of law” (legitimate), and then he jokes about how Edmund “came saucily to the world before he was sent for.” When watching the play, the viewer sees Edmund’s reaction to his father’s description, and he definitely does not look happy. Even though Gloucester knows his two sons, he believes the worst of Edgar, and what Edmund says, all too easily. I would think that Gloucester would have had some previous experience with the ways of his sons, and not believe .....

.... black actors had to go through such as the only parts being maids, not being able to use restrooms in places they were performing, or just the fact of the constant battle with prejudice gives the new generations more respect and appreciation for where they are and the people who made it possible. The struggles that Dorthy had to g through such as the scene where they drained the pool since she touched it amazed me. I couldn’t imagine having to perform under conditions that I couldn’t use the facilities around me in the hotel I was staying. The embarrassment that .....

.... and his wife, but he was already ambitious, and they only increased this by making his ambitions seem like they could be reality. The war hero becomes a murderer and then dies a shameful and violent death. Shakespeare creates an atmosphere of evil and darkness mainly through his language, although scenes containing violent actions or the witches are often played in darkness. Shakespeare uses poetry (verse) as opposed to prose, as poetry often contains more metaphors and imagery, which he used to create a feeling of darkness and evil. The language gives an insig .....

.... order to show this degeneration from high to low, Lear strips off all his clothing, showing he is now at the very bottom of the social order. To have some clothes is to be someone, to have none is to be nobody. Edgar, legitimate son to the Earl of Gloucester, is well dressed, not as much as Lear, but still above commoners. Edgar is believed to be plotting to annihilate his own father. So every one is after someone named "Edgar", who is a well dressed noble. In order to protect himself, Edgar becomes no one. He becomes nobody by shedding his noble gar .....

.... occupies the name of Montague, he shall not be permitted. Once at the ball, Romeo is searching for a maiden to substitute the unrequited love of Rosaline. Romeo happens to gaze upon Juliet, who charms Romeo. Romeo proclaims, " Did my heart love till now? Forswear it, sight!/ For ne'er saw true beauty till this night." (I, v, l 52-53) Since Romeo declares his love for Juliet, she feels the attraction also. They believe that they are in love and must marry. However, it is a genuine coincidence that Romeo and Juliet were at the same place, at the same time. .....

.... that his father died due to dubious circumstance. After talking with his father's ghost, in the 3rd Soliloquy Hamlet is angered by the news that Claudius had murdered his father. Hamlet assures that he will think of nothing but revenge. “I'll wipe away all trivial fond records...and thy commandment all alone shall live within the book and volume of my brain” (1296), he proclaims. In Hamlet's fourth soliloquy, his mental state shows signs of declination. He castigates himself for not taking action to avenge his father. He realizes that he has cause to kill .....
