Hamlet - The Tragedy Of Hamlet
.... to his father, was the reason he was so angry at Claudius and his Mother. Another trait was that he was intelligent. He was able to think up the idea of faking insanity, in order to get more information about Claudius. But Hamlet like all other tragic hero\'s had a flaw. He couldn\'t get around to doing anything, because he couldn\'t move on. He was a full grown adult, yet he still attended school in England, because he couldn\'t move on. Also, it took him a long time to stop grieving about his father, bec .....

Hamlet - Was Prince Hamlet Wacko?
.... reason.
In act two, Hamlet appears again, although it now becomes apparent he has lost the conviction he demonstrated earlier-to complete his destiny as prescribed by the ghost of his father. During this act, Hamlet spends most of his time reading and talking with Polonius, Guildenstern, Rosencrantz, and the players. Not until the very end of this second act, does Hamlet refer to his filial duty to avenge his father. Instead of carrying out the destiny described by his fathers spirit-role of the vengefu .....

Hamlet - Why Did Hamlet Delay Killing The King?
.... Claudius is guilty, Hamlet says " I’ll take the Ghost’s word for a thousand pound," but fails to act and can only contemplate the event.
Similarly, when Hamlet happens upon Claudius praying, he does not take the opportunity to kill the King, rather he makes excuses, saying he does not want Claudius to go to heaven. However, this is little more than a delay tactic, and Hamlet also does not make any further plans to kill the King.
The most plausible explanation is that Hamlet’s own nature a .....

Hamlet Father And Sons
.... suspicion from his real purpose of avenging his father\'s death by killing his murderous uncle. He appears melancholy, and wore dark clothes to fit the mood. He had a wild strange behavior. Because he was intelligent he was able to fool all.

Hamlet Vs. Laertes
.... stands who knows save heaven?"
(Shakespeare, Hamlet, III, iii, 74-83)
Laertes on the other hand is the exact opposite of Hamlet, he does not think before he does things. Laertes acts out of anger and jumps to conclusions.
"Gentleman: Save yourself, my lord:
The ocean, overpeering of his list,
Eats not the flats with more impetuous haste
Than young Laertes, in a riotous head,
O’erbears your officers. .....

Julius Caesar
.... He is given praise often and honored by events such as a holiday in his name. However, several men do not agree that Caesar should have such a high title, as they despise his character. These six men conspire to kill the emperor to end what they see as his tyranny and oppression in Rome.

Julius Caesar
.... first appears in the play as a devoted follower of Caesar. He is also one of the great triumvirs. When he gains permission to speak at Caesar\'s
funeral he undermines the public confidence to seize the power of Rome. In his speech at the capitol he concentrates on Brutus and appeals to the emotions of the people of Rome. At the end of the play, he publicly glorifies Brutus in order to heal the public\'s wounds caused by the loss of Brutus, Cassius, and Caesar. In creating the confusion, Antony rut .....

Julius Caesar
.... Caesar refused the title every time because he knew that the second he did, the people would turn against him. Caesar also knew that the conspirators were behind these offers and was not about to play right into their hands. In both Shakespeare’s and Bruns’s works, Mark Antony was the one who offered the crown to Caesar. He did not do it to harm Caesar but out of respect for Caesar. The Number of conspirators is the same in both historical works. Both say that at least sixty men were involved in the consp .....

Julius Caesar - Analyses Of Characters
.... people, much like Mark Antony. He is a friend to Brutus but he took advantage of that friendship to make sure he killed Caesar. He despised Caesar and people like him. He believes in a truly democratic government for Rome whereas Caesar wanted one leader – him. Cassius saw that Caesar was hungry for power and would not stop until he got it and Cassius refused to let that happen. He is very loyal to Rome and very determined. He saw that Caesar had his weaknesses and he took advantage of them and he wi .....

Julius Caesar - Brutus Character Analysis
.... 3, scene 1, ll.185-186). Brutus says that Antony cannot see their(members of the conspiracy) hearts, which are full of pity. Again, this shows how Brutus loved Caesar but cared for the life of Rome and its people more. This is the only reason Brutus would conspire against Caesar. For Brutus says to himself, \"I know no personal cause to spurn at him...How that might change his nature...\"(act 2, scene1, ll. 1,13) Caesar\'s relationship with Brutus is also strong. Just allowing Brutus to speak to Caesar .....

Julius Caesar - Citizen Of Rome
.... his best
friend, helped in the killing of Caesar. All actions of this noble man,
in the past, have been admirable. I am at the Forum, and the funeral for
beloved Caesar is about to take place. Brutus will explain his reasons
for murdering Caesar, which will surely be logical. Then, Mark Antony
will be delivering a speech, and conducting the funeral rites. The
funeral speech, or Laudatio Funebris, is a common Roman custom. This
funeral promises to be chaotic, and I am not sure what .....

Julius Caesar - Flattery Will Get You Everywhere
.... walks into Caesar\'s house is \"Caesar, all hail! Good morrow, worthy Caesar\" (II, ii, 58). Decius also goes on and calls Caesar \"most mighty\". Decius is already on Caesar\'s good side. After catching up on Calphurnia\'s dream, he uses his quick wit to distort Calphurnia\'s foreshadowing dream by saying it is \"mis-interpreted\". He explains that the dream \"Signifies that from (Caesar) Rome shall suck/Reviving blood, and that great men shall press/for tinctures, stains, relics, and cognizance\" (II, .....

Julius Caesar - Mark Antony
.... is in turmoil, he will remain in power. He was alone in making this oration, yet he was confidant in himself and courageous.
Rome began to collapse once Caesar was killed, and Antony was left without anyone to trust. He did not want to side with the conspirators whom he valued slightly.

Antony was looked down upon by all the conspirators except for Brutu .....

Julius Caesar - Mark Antony
.... comes to the Capitol where he
further flatters the conspirators by shaking their hands and saying, "Friends
am I with you all, and love you all..." (III i 220). This act symbolizes that
Antony has made a new friendship with the conspirators, but in reality, he is
plotting to seek revenge so he can take over Rome. Antony is also able to
flatter the vast angry crowd in order to get his way. He is first able to get the
crowd to feel sorry for him. This feeling is evident when the .....
