The Supernatural In Macbeth
Number of words: 801 - Number of pages: 3.... power of the throne is brought up. The only way to gain
power of the throne was for Macbeth to work his way to the throne, or to
murder King Duncan. Murdering the king was an easier plan since the
motivation in his dreams urged him on. Lady Macbeth also relied on the
supernatural by her soliloquy of calling upon the evil spirits to give her
the power to plot the murder of Duncan without any remorse or
conscience(Act I, Scene V, ll.42-57). The three sisters are capable of
leading people into danger resulting in death, such as the sailor who never
slept(Act I, .....

should have never listened to Cassius' conspiracy plan.
A large harmartia that Brutus made was not killing Antony. Brutus says, “
For Antony is but a limb of Caesar.” (Shakespeare Act 2, Scene 1, Line 165). .
Brutus feels that Antony would not be able to do anything without Caesar, and
would probably commit suicide. Cassius thinks that Antony should be killed, but

and is a tyrant ruler in a triumvirate. Antony and his army are the reason why
Brutus kills himself. If Brutus did k .....

of unpleasant situations using only his wit. The King is continuously
modifying his behavior to suit the occasion, such as when he is dealing
with Hotspur and the opposing Vassals and when he deals with Hal at the
royal court. Both Falstaff and the King live,to a great extent, by the
sharpness of their minds: Falstaff as a criminal, and the King as a
politician. Another similar facet of these two characters is their view of
bravery. Both the King and Falstaff subscribe to the theory that it is
better to avoid danger and thus avoid the possibility of har .....

The Role Of Fate And Hubris In Oedipus The King
Number of words: 1505 - Number of pages: 6.... Many audience members couldn't read or write, so Sophocles used well known stories as plots. The audience didn't have to focus on understanding the plot. They already knew the story of Oedipus, which Sophocles used to his advantage. With well known plots the people's minds were open and Sophocles's messages were beaten into them. Almost like subliminal messages.
But what messages would Sophocles wish to push on his audiences?
Well, at the time, the people of Athens were declining in moral values, they were losing faith in the Gods, mistreating people .....

Macbeth Analysis Paper
Number of words: 897 - Number of pages: 4.... only reson he killed Duncan was because the witches told him that he would be Thane of Cawdor and then king. Greediness seemed to have stepped in and he wanted so much to be king, that he would do anything he had to do to become it, even it it meant to kill the king. If the witches had not told him about becoming king, he probably would not have been so cruel killing so many people. Lady Macbeth had a rather little part in Macbeth’s killing of Duncan. She was the one there to tease Macbeth for being worried about the consequences and for being a little worried .....

Macbeth: Characteristics Of Macbeth That Led To His Downfall
Number of words: 443 - Number of pages: 2.... end, apparently,
Macbeth's ambition is stronger than his conscience.
In addition, Macbeth's ambition caused him to do desperate things.
Desperation. in my opinion, dug Macbeth's own grave. When the subject of
Macduff arrives, I don't think that he would have been so bitter towards Macbeth
if he hadn't killed his wife and children. Killing Macduff's family gains
nothing for Macbeth and tries to get at Macduff indirectly. This act of
desperation and spitefulness gives a good reason to now fear Macduff.
Also, as Macbeth took the throne, he really did .....
