.... has seen the ghost, Hamlet has been unable to commit his vowed revenge; unable to explain to himself either his long delay or his depression and insanity. Maybe he’s scared of taking revenge on Claudius, he may think by taking revenge he endangers his own soul. “No matter how right a man might think his motives are, if Claudius is innocent; the act of revenge would inevitably make Hamlet as evil as the accused in the eyes of God” (Becker p.32). “Hamlet decides to test Claudius’ guilt and the authenticity of the ghost; he will stage a performance of a pla .....

.... it from her and "dash'd the brains out" to have the opportunity MacBeth does. This shows how mad and sadistic she was. She had absolutely no self- conscience, and thought nothing about the wrong they were soon to commit. Later on, after the murders, she, unlike MacBeth, still shows no signs of a conscience. She is very cool and collected, while MacBeth hallucinates and goes temporarily mad. Lady MacBeth on the other hand, takes everything calmly. She takes the daggers back to the King's room, smears blood on the drunken guards, and attempts to destroy all .....

.... for both of the characters. Both Brutus and Caesar are of high social and political status. Caesar was the dictator for life of Rome and Brutus was an honorable Senator. Julius Caesar had two tragic flaws. Caesar was said by Brutus to be ambitious, which led directly to his downfall - “ But as he was ambitious, I slew him.” (Act 3. Scene 2. Line 28) Caesar was also arrogant, he believed that he was too great to be harmed, Caesar said “ Cowards die many times before their deaths; the valiant never taste death but once.” (Act 2. Scene 2. Lines 34-35) Brutus .....

.... of comicness and tragedy in the play. I have come up with the conclusion that William Shakespeare was a great playwright and must have been an absolute genius to compose the great and wonderful things that he did. The Merchant of Venice is excellent in it's way of describing the characters. The emotion is spread out thoroughly like warm butter on hot toast. The tragedy in The Merchant of Venice is believable and almost true in a sense of my opinion in relating to greed, human desire, and most important let not forget, anguish. Throughout The Merchant of .....

.... 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 e .....

.... resides. Before confronting her he takes a moment to ponder upon the situation that he is battling. Shakespeare divides the soliloquy into three sections. The first section begins with the question ‘ to be or not to be…’ and ends with the second repetition of ‘To die-to sleep.’ In this section Hamlet concentrate’s on the two courses of action he can take; to live or to die. The theme within this part is centered on the ‘question.’ The second part begins with ‘To sleep’ and concludes with the question ‘Than fly to others…’ Here, the question about the after .....

.... Friends come and go, some quicker then others but rarely forever. You do not always share as much love with your friends then compared to your family. To die for friends is questionable. Only the forever friend, will I die for, but how could I tell the future. One does not know the future, and for that reason is my value towards my friends questionable. As for my country I refuse to risk my life for dictator who is on a power trip. Almost all wars are useless as the war of Vietnam. Did the American solider fight for his family or did he risk his life becau .....
