Julius Caesar: Roman Life During The First Triumvirate
.... warns Caesar to "Beware the Ides of March," an admonition of Caesar's impending death. Although sooth-sayers are looked upon by many as insane out of touch lower-classmen, a good deal of them, obviously including the sayer Caesar encountered, are indeed right on the mark. Since they lack any formal office or shop, and they predict forthcomings without fee, one can see quite easily why citizens would distrust their predictions. Superstition, in general elements such as the Feast of Lupercal, as well as .....

Hamlet: Hamlet's Decisions And Actions
.... 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 he is not insane. He knows exactly what he is leading up to. He just delays to act due to his indecisiveness. An example of this is i .....

Oedipus Rex

However, that one trait did not alone take away his position of high authority. Oedipus displayed anger throughout the whole story, which did not help him at all. During the story, we learn of Oedipus’ anger as he knocked a passerby at the meeting of the three highways; “ I being enraged, strike him who jostled me…” (pg. 29). Later, this passerb .....

Hamlet's Odd Behavior
.... hesitate? One must call into question what Hamlet holds to be true. If Hamlet’s given motivation for killing the king is legitimate, then Claudius should die at about Act 3. Because Hamlet’s actions do not correspond with his given reasoning, one is forced to look for an alternate explanation for Hamlet’s behavior. In doing so, one will come to the conclusion that Hamlet is driven by forces other than what is obvious to the reader, as well as Hamlet himself. Given this example, one must denounce the .....

Gulliver’s Travels: The Movie

In the small portions of it our class watched I could not even think of any differences between the text and the film. I also found the film to be one of good quality. The sound, special effects and actors were all good, unlike most of the films that we have watched in this class before. I would recommend that someone should defiantly watch this film after reading this book t .....
