Macbeths Ambition
.... The American philosopher David Young goes further in this analysis and sees in Macbeth how “the act of regicide is a ready means of illustrating the genesis of tragic structure in struggles for power” (Young 318). According to him, Macbeth’s decision of killing the king has only one motivation, to gain control of the state. His character illustrates how ambition for power corrupts everything and eventually transforms good people into cowardly murderers. Everybody has personal desires .....

Machismo In One Hundred Years
.... Years of Solitude, pp.30-31). A young, impressionable boy is obviously going to be somewhat aroused or overwhelmed by this type of remark, especially using evocative words like "earthquake". Thus, it is safe to assume that Jose Arcadio has influenced Aureliano in a negative way. He simply knows more than he should at such a ripe, impressionable age. An age at which most of what is learned, remains imbedded in one's life.
Later on in the novel we see him slowly adopting another typical characteristi .....

Marcus Brutus-the Tragic Hero
.... to go downhill for our hero. Then during the battle when he thought he was defeated, and committed suicide, his flaw was complete.

He doesn’t have other people think for him. Brutus was also well respected by the people of Rome; this is one reason why the conspirators wanted him. If he was to k .....

And Brutus is a honourable man.”

Merchant Of Venice 2
.... not the flimsy two-dimensional character one often encounters in modern plays. Of all of Shakespeare's characters, heroes or villains, their conduct is always presented as logical and justifiable from their points of view (Walley).
To maintain the literary integrity of the play, Shakespeare needed to clarify why a man like Shylock would be wrought to such a pitch of vindictive hatred that he would contemplate murder. His evil must have some profound motivation, and that motivation is the evil don .....

Shylock isn’t exactly a character that wins your respect throughout the book. He does this with his obsession with money and his hatred for Antonio one of the more liked characters in the book. In the end of the play Shylock does not get his bond and Antonio gets away free. Shylock even has to pay a fine of half his money and he has to become a Christian. Now in the world this seems to be a ridiculous and horrible price to pay. W .....

Metamophasis
.... his life and Kafka’s situation was similar. He eventually was forced to become a lawyer, whereas what Kafka wanted was a literary degree.
Franz Kafka made his character, Gregor, transform into an insect in the story. Nobody wants to associate themselves with an insect, which is a lowly creature, a pest, or nuisance. This symbolizes Kafka’s depression and his poor self image. Since his family treats the insect like an outcast, that must be how Franz felt about the treatment that his .....

Since Demetrius had indeed made some convincing threats of violence against his unwanted love, Hermia automatically suspects him for murdering Lysander: It cannot be but thou hast murdered him. So should a murderer look, so dead, so grim. (Hermia, 3.2.58-59) F. Helena is so true to Demetrius, but he denounces her to a point of no return, threatening to rape her: You do impeach your modesty too much To leave the city and commit yourself Into the hands of one that loves you not, To trust the op .....
