As You Like It: Grow Up, Oliver!
.... to mind is that it is possible that Oliver knows that
having his brother killled is unethical and wrong. Deep down I think that
Oliver has a decent heart and is aware that he should not let his envy get
the best of him. The reader may wonder why Oliver would be jealous of
Orlando. Orlando is popular and strong, and smart. Oliver is unhappy and
therefore cruel. In a monologue that Oliver addresses to the audience he
says, "Yet he's gentle, never / schooled and yet learned, full of noble
device, of all .....

Othello: Reasons For Iago's Hatred Of Othello

ambitious. Instead of appointing Iago who had plenty of experience on the
battlefield, Othello appoints "a great arithmetician, one Michael Cassio, a
Florentine . . . that never set a squadron on the field" (1.1.19-22).
Michael Cassio was more of an intellectual type, a book learner, and a
student of military science. Iago only proves good at fighting, whereas
Cassio has the tactical knowledge to effectively lead and win in battle.
To make matters worse, Cassio is also a .....

Hamlet Was Weak And Diminutive
.... mean that his grief for his father
is genuine, but “passeth show” may also mean that he has some sort of
feeling that can’t be shown by “the trappings and suits of woe” --his black
clothing and cloudy face. These feelings that may very well be hidden from
his own conscious are - what I believe - a truth to his indecisiveness on
anything he attempts. Indecision in a man, or woman, for that matter, is a
strong symbol of his/her lack of perception.
Hamlet says that the King is “My father’s brother, but .....

Antigone: Who Is The Strongest Tragic Figure?
.... Antigone even begins to enjoy the fact that she went against Creon’s
decree and wants all the glory to herself. She demonstrates her indulgence
in glory best in the scene where she and Ismene are sentenced to death but
Antigone will not let her sister die. We can see Antigone has hubris but
her character is not developed enough to see her display of arrogance
steadily throughout the play as we can see in Creon.
With Creon, all the characteristics in being a tragic figure become
tied into one. Fir .....
