- 11651: The Flaws Of Hamlet
- What is Hamlet s flaw? Nor to any one is he known to have defect. No one ever ventures to speak of him slightingly or critically. Why does not the King, Laertes, or Fortinbras despise him for a scholar ... death, he says because of the great love the general gender bear him. This sinful Queen quails under his rebuke, and yet loves him too well to betray his confidence. And as often in Shakespeare s tragedies, at the end of the play judgment to the same effect is pronounced on his character by a disinterested party. Was Hamlet out of his mind, or was he pretending to be crazy? Did anyone realize what Hamlet s dilemma, such as Ophelia, the King, and the Queen? What was his delay?

- ... incarcerated and rehabilitated by The Party. O'Brien constantly tells Winston that Winston is crazy, and that he is trying to help him. During these sessions he reveals the true purposes of INGSOC. The party's goals can be summed up in their mottoes. "WAR IS PEACE, FREEDOM IS SLAVERY, and IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH(Orwell, 7)." 3. Theme Under the rule of INGSOC, members of The Party are engrossed in their work. It is essential that the government keeps its people happy in order to avoid rebellions and "thought crimes."

- 11658: The Tempest - Bringing It All Together
- The Epilogue of the Tempest by William Shakespeare is an excellent-if not the best-example of Shakespeare's brilliance. In 20 lines Shakespeare is able to write an excellent ending to his play, while speaking through his characters about Shakespeare's own life and career. Even more amazingly, he seemlessly ties the two together. In the context of the story Prospero's monologue makes perfect sense. He has lost his magical power, so his "charms are o'erthrown, and what strength [Prospero] have's [his] own, which is most faint." He is now "confined" on the ...

Every human being needs the opportunity to express how ... that Puritan society places on them. The forest itself, is free. Nobody watches in the woods to report misbehavior, so it is here where people do as they wish. To independent spirits like Hester Prynne's, the wilderness beckons her: "Throw off the shackles of law and religion. What good have they done you anyway? Look at you, a young and vibrant woman, grown old before you time. And no wonder ... the forest, these cares are tossed away. "Be thou strong for me," Dimmesdale pleads. "Advise me what to do."(p. 187) This is a cry for help from Dimmesdale, with him finally admitting he can't go through this ordeal by himself. With this comes an interesting sort of role-reversal. When Dimmesdale asks for help, he is no longer sustaining the belief that he is above Hester. He is ...
- 11660: The Perfect World
- ... riches, others want peace. It seems that people are never capable of agreeing on what the perfect world should include.
