Macbeth: Character Analysis Of Macbeth
.... a
man;/ And to be more than what you were, you would be so much more the man"). As
Macbeth started degrading he lost some bravery (IV, 1, "That I may tell pale-
hearted fear it lies"). In his fight with Macduff, some of his old courage and
strength returned.
Macbeth could be brave when it came to action but when he started
thinking he would hesitate and would have to be urged into action by his wife or
by the sense of security that he obtained from the prophecies of the
supernatural. He changed his min .....

Macbeth: Characteristics Of Macbeth That Led To His Downfall
.... 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 to .....

Julius Ceaser: Character Analysis Of Marcus Brutus
.... speaking to Cassius. Brutus
loves Caesar, but would not allow him to "climber-upward…He then unto the ladder
turns his back…"(act 2, scene 1, ll.24,26). As the quote says, Brutus would not
allow Caesar to rise to power and then turn his back onto the people of Rome.
After the assassination of Julius Caesar, Brutus talks to Antony about Caesar's
death. "Our hearts you see not; they are pitiful; and pity to the general wrong
of Rome…"(act 3, scene 1, ll.185-186). Brutus says that Antony cannot see

.... another riot that the heads of
each family will be killed. The Lieutenant, from West Side Story, had told the
Puerto Rican's and the American's that if they get into another fight they all
will have to go to jail. The difference between the two peace-makers is that the

Hamlet: Contrast Plays A Major Role
.... so far as to include his puns in this grave scene (V,1,120).
Hamlet himself experiences a temporary lightening of mood from listening to
the gravediggers' conversation. Their carefree treatment of death singing while
digging graves, not to mention tossing skulls in the air) is a parallel to
Hamlet's newfound attitude. After having committed himself to his cause in Act
IV, he is no longer bothered by the paradox of good and evil, and (seemingly) is
untroubled by his previous misgivings.

Contrast Essay: Romeo And Juliet
.... anything the way it is normally done because they are children
in search of quick love. This is bad because it is not very realistic. In
real-life, young adults would take the matter seriously because they know it is
a major step in life. Because the play is not entirely trying to make the two
look bad, it is the better production.
Another major difference in the mood of the play and the movie is in the funeral
scene. The funeral scene of the play is a very serious event. Juliet's family
is very ups .....

Macbeth: Corruption
.... become a
person who doesn't control.
Nothing can really be done to sustain it or avoid it, if you take a corrupt
person in power and replace a fair and just person. Sooner or later they also
become corrupt. You just have to assume and hope the replacement will be a fair
person.
In the tradgity "Macbeth" there are many examples of corruption. When Macbeth
became Thane of Cowdor his wife, Lady Macbeth, was very delighted to hear of
such news. And when hearing that Duncan, the king ,would be coming to d .....

Comparing The Different Types Of Love Evident In Romeo And Juliet
.... Her collars of the moonshine's watery beams;
Her whip of cricket's bone; the lash of film;
Her waggoner a small grey-coated gnat,
Not half so big as a round little worm
Pricked from the lazy finger of a maid:
Her chariot is an empty hazle-nut
Made by the joiner squirrel, or old grub,
Time out o' the fairies' coachmakers.
And in this state she gallops night by night
Through lovers brainsand then they dream of love;
O'er the courtier's knees....”(ActI Scene i .....

A Critical Analysis Of Shakespeare's Hamlet
.... 2 Scene 2 line 95). Opelia answers a question posed by Polonius by
which she replied that she had told Hamlet that she could not see or communicate
with him any more. Her father makes reference to Hamlet's madness once again by
proclaiming that what his daughter said, "... hath made him (Hamlet) mad." (Act
2 Scene 2 line 123).
The argument of whether Hamlet is insane because of his love for Ophelia is
often debated, but a more confusing and complex situation is the struggle within
Hamlet's mind. .....

Stephano: You ask me to murder for you?
Caliban: I ask only that you remove your only opponent in making

The Deception In King Lear

(I.i.71) By uttering these words, Regan shows that her love is even less true
than that of her sister's. She goes even farther to say:
"...that I profess
Myself an enemy to all other joys
Which the most precious square of sense possesses,
And find I am alone felicitate
In your dear highness' love."
I.i.71-75
This goes to show that she is more greedy than her sister and her words are also
falser. She wants more .....

Difference Between Plutarch's And Shakespeare's Caesar

control over it. "...the scene of the final struggle and of the assassination
made it perfectly clear that some heavenly power was involved...directing that
it" (the assassination) "should take place just here. For here stood a statue of
Pompey..." This stating that Caesar's murder was the deceased Pompey's revenge
for he was killed by Caesar. Whereas, Shakespeare does not say anything about
the statue and shows the same coincidences .....

Macbeth: The Main Theme Of Evil

sort of "trick" themselves into murdering Duncan. First, Lady Macbeth has to beg
evil spirits to tear all human feeling from her ("...spirits / That tend on
mortal thoughts..." [Act I, Scene V, Lines 41-42] "Stop up th' accessand passage
to remorse / That no compunctious visitings of nature / Shake my fell
purpose..."[Act I, Scene V, Lines 45-47]) and then she has to make Macbeth
ignore his own conscience ("Yet do I fear thy nature; It is too full o' th' milk
