- 791: Billy Budd 2
- Billy Budd, a 19th century novel written by Herman Melville, involves three main characters: Billy Budd, John Claggart and Captain Vere. Throughout the first nineteen chapters, Melville portrays each character with distinct personality, in which case Billy Budd is represented as the simple-minded sailor, Claggart is viewed as the villain, and ... However, chapter twenty contradicts or rather morphs the earlier images of these characters. Though containing only four pages, this chapter is the most important of all, because it revels the unseen traits of each man. John Claggart represents the epitome of demon-haunted man. In chapter twenty, Melville carefully describes the change in Claggart s twisted figure as he speaks to Billy with a hypnotic stare of his charge against the ... Claggart s demonic trait to a more extreme level. Billy Budd plays a role of a good-hearted and simple peacemaker. His winsome looks and innocent nature wins the loyalty of many sailors except for John Claggart.

- ... are left intact: Claudio: Hath Leonato any son, my lord? [I.1.304] The line is delivered in such casual conversation that we hardly 'note it.'

Branagh continues throughout the play to accent the villain in the underworld--the wine cellar of the villa. Don John is a one-dimensional villain as Shakespeare intended--merely a tool to create the drama of the play. Act II opens with the masked ball, a ceremony devoted to enjoyable deception. Branagh places the ball ... than a slow-witted functionary trying to be something he isn't. Branagh adds a quick vignette of everyone banqueting happily in the hall, then a quick contrast of thunder and lightning to introduce Don John and Borachio plotting in the wine cellar--the evil plot contrasting with Don Pedro's happy plot. At this point Branagh throws in a few lines from scene 2 with Benedick primping in his ...

- ... Union Springs) for their misconduct and gross miscarriage of justice. I feel that I must preface my story with events that led up to the conspired, bogus lie, and malicious accusation against me.

- 797: The Merchant of Venice: Shylock - Victim or Villain
- ... I. iii. 104-127)? Why would Shakespeare give his villain such an elaborate speech, and why such a good defense? It is noteworthy that Shylock is the only Shakespearean villain, with a defense. Both, Don John in Much Ado About Nothing and Duke Frederick in As You Like It, for example, play meaningless roles as villains. Duke Frederick has little to say during the play except to banish Rosalind. Don John has no motive whatsoever for attempting to ruin his friends' wedding. Yet, at the end of both plays there is no real sympathy for them because we never really know them. Shakespeare doesn't bring Frederick or Don John to life, however, Shylock does come to life, in fact he is full of life. "He steps into the play, actual and individual from his first word on" (Granville-Barker 55). We know Shylock, ...
