.... as the significance of the prediction and actual events emerged. Being an ambitious man, Macbeth said "I have no spur To prick the sides of my intent, but only Vaulting ambition which o'erleaps itself And falls on the other." (I,vii,l.25-28) In this speech Macbeth broadcasts his immense ambitions which are the only reason he is pursuing the witches prediction. Macbeth, upon hearing the witches speak was startled at their prophecy. Banquo said to him "Good sir, why do you start, and seem t .....

.... people that he really is crazy. In Act 3 Scene 4 his Mom the Queen says "Alas he is Mad." This shows that his plan is working out so far. During Hamlet's act of playing crazy and planning to kill Claudius it has helped him find the real value of human life. In Hamlets "To Be or not to Be" speech he ponders the value of his own life and the value of Claudius life in retrospective to his own life. He wonders does one murder really warrant another person to die? Now If Hamlet was truly crazy he would not of spent all on this careful planning and thought. He w .....

While More is in jail for failing to take an oath supporting the divorce, Meg tries to convince him to take the oath, and she says, "Say the words of the oath and in your heart think otherwise," (page 81). More responded to this by saying, "What is an oath then but words we say to g .....

.... in his death can be found at the beginning of Act III, scene iv, when Hamlet stabs him while he is hiding behind the arras in Gertude’s room. This shows how Polonius, a man unaware of the true nature of the situation he is in, is killed by a member of the royalty during the execution of one of their schemes. This makes Polonius’ death a tragedy. The next member of Polonius’ family to die is his daughter Ophelia. Ophelia’s death is tragic because of her complete innocence in the situation. Some may argue that Polonius deserves his fate because of his deceitfu .....

.... Private Ryan is a patriotic film. How could it not be, possessed of such reverence for the suffering endured by so many soldiers in the defense of a nation? As difficult as it may be to distinguish between national pride and blind nationalism, Spielberg makes his film by insisting on visualizing an overwhelming sorrow at the loss of so much human life, and a similarly gratitude for the sacrifices that have been made. The flag in this certain frame represents everything worth fighting and living for, however, it doesn't tell the whole story. Its mere prese .....

.... position. This fact may imply that Hamlet sees his father’s actions personified in Fortinbras. Although Hamlet seems to admire the dominance and will power that Fortinbras displays, he also criticizes him and his unattainable dream. “ The imminent death of twenty thousand men that for fantasy and trick of fame.” In this statement Hamlet is declaring that he thinks Fortinbras quest is meaningless and therefore deems it foolish.

.... makes the play more effective. An example of this is when, in Act II, Scene II, of Romeo and Juliet, otherwise known as the balcony scene, Romeo expresses his thoughts in a sililoquy until Juliet shows up. While in Romeo and Juliet all of this is spoken, in West Side Story, this is written as music shared between Maria and Tony. Another major difference between these two stories is that in Romeo and Juliet, Juliet sees Romeo dead and decides to kill herself. While, in West Side Story, Tony (the Romeo of the play) does die - shot by Chino- Maria is n .....

.... leave Romeo and Benvolio to talk. They soon talked about love, and where they would dine. They talked some more about love then soon left the room and the day was over.
