.... difference between right and wrong. They don’t consider the nature of their actions due to the mental defect. In William Shakespeare’s play “Hamlet” Shakespeare leads you to believe that the main character, Hamlet, might be insane. There are many clues to suggest Hamlet is insane but in fact he is completely sane.
Throughout the play Hamlet makes wise decisions to prove his so-called “madness” to others when obviously it is merely an act. He knows exactly what he is leading up to. He just delays to act .....

Hamlet's Revenge
.... about what to do.
Thus conscience does make cowards of us all,
And thus the native hue of resolution
Is sicklied o’er with the pale cast of thought,
And enterprises of great pitch and moment
With this regard their currents turn awry
And lose the name of action. (125).
Hamlet is contemplating whether it is better to continue living or not, and is stating the positive and negative effects of it. He goes on and on about life and death, but ne .....

Movie Review: Gone With The Wind And Glory
.... and finally to her lavish life after she marries Red Butler. The atmosphere of Georgia before the war was very relaxed and secure. The southerners felt that their problems would take care of themselves, and as long as they had control over the congress nothing could hurt their interests. People threw parties, laughed, made jokes about Abe Lincoln, and overall were quite carefree. The world around them seemed to collapse with the onslaught of the Civil War. They were out-gunned, out-manned and out-produc .....

The National Endowment For The Arts
.... misinformation that alters their perception of the issue. However, if given the facts about how the NEA can benefit not only the artisans, but also the whole nation, those opposers might change their mind in support of the arts program.
One of the biggest arguments against federal funding for the arts is that it costs too much money and that the government is already in debt too severely to provide for something as unnecessary as art. True, the government is extremely in debt, but what most people don .....

Dorine, Her Voice Of Reason And How She Is Able To Save The Family From Their Demise
.... 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 manipulati .....

Nature’s Significance In King Lear
.... recognition of her filial obligations. It is this very law which Lear himself depends on when he expects to be revered and obeyed both as a king and as a father by all his daughters. Shakespeare demonstrate this idea when he points out that at a later point in the play, after Lear was treated horribly by Goneril, Lear express his conviction that Regan, unlike Goneril, knows better “The offices of nature, bond of childhood.” (2.4.202) It is ironic that here Lear uses the exact same word as Cordelia ha .....

“The thane of Cawdor lives. Why do you dress me in borrowed robes?”
(Macbeth,1.3,108, p.12)
“This means that Macbeth is always dressed in tittles that are not his.”
New honours come upon him,
Like our strange garments, cleave not to their mould,
But with the aid of use.
(Banquo,1.3,144, p.14)
“This means that the idea constantly recurs that Macbeth’s new honours sit ill upon him, like a .....

Aristotle’s Theory Of Tragedy As Seen In Euripides’ Electra
.... However, Electra lacks a true fall from happiness into misery for either children, a profound sense of tragic suffering, and a strong catharsis of pity and fear.
In Electra, both Orestes and Electra can be viewed as tragic figures, however Orestes is the better choice according to Aristotle. Orestes is the son of a king and is a prince, thus he is of a high birth. He has ethos, or a sense of right and wrong, in that he recognizes the injustices that have been done unto his father Agamemnon, his sister .....
