Macbeth Remains A Shakespeare
.... the Thane of Cawdor, and his address to her as a “dearest partner of greatness” in his letter deserves some merit, since it shows his love and devotion towards her. He listens to what she has to say about killing King Duncan without questioning her opinions.

.... corn." [Act iv, iv, 1-6]. This gives a great description of King Lear's state of mind.

Main Theme In Lady Oracle
.... both the fact that Joan is insecure and also seriously influenced by her mother's past actions.

When she is a teenager, Joan starves herself until she reaches her ideal weight so as to gain the acceptance she so craves from her mother. Also, her mother is not very supportive .....

Merchant Of Venice
.... who sleeps all day and does little work. He always seems to criticize the poor boy behind his back and complain about his laziness. Even after Shylock sees that Lancelet is gone, he continues to reproach his work as a servant. It seems as though Shylock is trying to elevate his own self-esteem, by acting contentious towards his servant.
The way in which Shylock treats his own daughter is beyond comprehension. He virtually locks her in the house when he goes to the masque one night. Shylock redunda .....

Mercutio In Romeo And Juliet

Mercutio’s Queen Mab speech (Act 1, scene 4) was an attempt to cheer up Romeo, because he was depressed over his unanswered love for Rosaline, the girl he wanted befor .....

Montaigne asserts that a pupil is only as good as the skill of his tutor. The ideal tutor in Montaigne's eyes would be one that is more wise than learned, having "a well made rather than a well filled head" (110). The tutor should not have the student repeat what is told to him, as the goal of the education is not to memoriz .....

The last point to be brought up is the acting over all. The acting did its job in getting the theme and plot off to the viewer of the movie, but it was not the best. It was most likely the skill of the actors that had to do with this because it was not exactly the best production company who cast and funded the movie. In the end, the movie was done well, aside fr .....
