... responsible for his own actions which are provoked by an unwillingness to listen to his own conscience, the witches, and his ambition. First, ignores the voice of his own psyche. He knows what he is doing is wrong even before he murders Duncan, but he allows Lady and greed to cloud his judgement. In referring to the idea of the murder of Duncan, first states,"We will proceed no further in this business"(I.vii.32). Yet, after speaking with Lady he recants and proclaims,"I am settled, and bend up/Each corporal agent to this terrible feat"(I.vii.79-80). There is nothing supernatural to be found in a man being swa ...

... John Proctor’s wife, Goody Proctor, to be killed so that Abigail could be with John Proctor. After this ritual occurred, Abigail and her friends were accused of performing witchcraft. Abigail claimed that no witchcraft had taken place by her, but that Tituba had done a ceremony pertaining to witchcraft. After this event Abigail had accused many people of witchcraft and her friends had followed her in faking the occurrence of witchcraft. In the long run Abigail had lost John Proctor who falsely admitted to witchcraft, so Abigail had fled Salem and it was known that witchcraft had never taken place in Salem. Fr ...

... again, this time about Cassio. "With her - on her - what you will." (4:1, 42). Iago tells Othello about Cassio sleeping with Desdemona. This appears to be Iago's smartest move because this causes the death of Desdemona and Cassio. This part also appears important to Iago because he is finally made lieutenant. Othello changes dramatically when he hears all these lies from Iago. He is now less patient. He hurries through many decisions to be made. Such as the one to kill his wife. He also jumps to conclusions too quickly. This is shown when Iago and Bianca are talking about Cassio and Othello misinterprets ...

... with fascinating lines and a use of language that is not too taxing, a play full of tension with intermingling plots that almost demand that you take one side or the other. Its brilliant portrayal of capitalism, feminism and racism are issues that stir something inside everyone and its characters are real people that anyone can relate to, even in these modern times. Interested? Read on. Written in 1596 or 1597 The Merchant of Venice has some remarkably cool characters. Three of who are described here. Anton ...

... old men and burying them in their cellar. There is even a misunderstanding with the sisters themselves, as they see nothing wrong with what they do, and make no attempt to hide it. Yet, the humor of the movie is when their nephew, Mortimer, finds the bodies, and is quite flustered to discover how his aunts treat it with such nonchalance. Humor is also found in the misunderstanding between Mortimer and his Brewster family. Throughout the entire movie, Mortimer finds himself ashamed of his Brewster name. He discovers that his aunts keep twelve bodies in the basement. Mortimer also receives a visit from his lunatic ...

... but is not its theme. The approach of this teacher's guide will be to view the play as one that has outlasted the political turmoil of the time during which it was written, becoming a classic work that continues to excite and enrage audiences and readers. The Crucible is set in another politically charged period in U.S. history. The Salem witch trials of the late 17th century resulted in the accusation and hanging of many colonials. Citizens of the Massachusetts colony were arrested and forced to admit their own guilt and inform on others. Whether or not the play is historically accurate is not important to the a ...

... Lady Macbeth did not have any involvement in these cases. Based on these facts, Macbeth would be found more guilty than Lady Macbeth. The very first murder in this story was committed on Duncan. This crime was planned by both Macbeth and Lady Macbeth. The actual murder was done by Macbeth, making him more guilty of the crime. Lady Macbeth just talked about committing the crime, but she never actually went through with it nor would she ever, and that is all that counts. Talking about committing the incident is very different from actually doing it. Lady Macbeth did a little more than just talk about it though ...

... do something out of the ordinary if he thinks the outcome will help someone he cares for. For example, when he says "In one respect I'll thy assistant be; for this alliance may so happy prove, to turn your households rancour to pure love."(Act 2, Scene 3), he is saying that the only reason he will marry Romeo and Juliet is because he hopes that the marriage will end the hostilities between the two houses. When he says "Shall Romeo by my letters know our drift, and hither shall he come; and he and I shall watch thy waking, and that very night shall Romeo bear thee to Mantua." (Act 4, Scene 1), he tells Juliet how eve ...

... has a deeper character than the epithet would imply. From the beginning we see that she is continually placed second in her father's affections, and despised by all others. Bianca on the other hand, is identified as the favorite, playing the long-suffering angel, increasing Baptisa's distinction between the two. As Katherine recognizes her sister's strategy, her reaction is as one can imagine how another would react suffering this type of bias for so many years. She is hurt and she seeks revenge. This is seen in Act II, Scene I, when Katherine sums up her own state: “I will go sit and weep/ Till I can fi ...
