... Tybalts death, and have Romeo killed. These arguments are clear examples of the family hate and how it involves more than just the young men. The hate has been passed down from generation to generation. In the first scene of the play during the brawl there is evidence of household involvement. During the entire scene the young men of both households are exchanging insults and foul language. At one point Old Capulet and his wife enter the vicinity of the brawl. This violent behaviour can also be seen in the older family members. At this point old Capulet says, “What noise is this, give me my long sword ...

... in way last because he is not a actor, he is a talking mannequin. They have all gone through different types of adventures, well ok they were all action/spy problems but they were all different, in some ways anyway. Hey if they suck so much why can't you stop watching them? Why have they made so many of them? eh? thats what I thought. I had my doubts about watching all these James Bond movies, but they were all good. Sean Connery Played a nice cool, slick James Bond, well so did the others but he was better at it because he naturally is cool and slick. Pierce Bronsman played also as a cool, slick James Bond, he re ...

... force of the play, despite the misleading title of Julius Caesar. Three separate, critical aspects help to show the reader how unimportant Julius Caesar is to the play. Caesar appears, in dreams, and thoughts of multiple people, giving warnings and special messages. Nobody seems to pay attention to him. Anotherexample is illustrated by the way that Brutus seems to dominate his own actions, whatever he is thinking. Also, Antony declares war on Brutus, but not out of love for Caesar, but anger toward the conspirators. As these aspects are explained in further detail one will be sure of the fact that Brutus, w ...

... 1 scene i the guards dialog reflect that "there is something rotten in the state of Denmark". It is full of corruption, deceit, passion, ruthlessness, and ambition that Hamlet is not used to (Lidz, 71). His mind temporarily can not handle his situation because, as I will mention later, his mother is at the center of it. He has to try to find meaning, direction and a stable identity in the midst of all the evil about him (Lidz, 73). We clearly see that Hamlet is quite upset by his mother's quite hasty marriage to is uncle, and this causes some deep seeded emotional problems for Hamlet. I can not talk about Hamlet' ...

... a by-product of the murderous rampage which consumed Macbeth, and later drove Lady Macbeth to suicide. If blood symbolized death, guilt, and pain, then surely water symbolized cleansing and peace, and is used in this regard in many literary pieces. In fact, even in the bible, Pontious Pilate washed his hands in water after sentencing Jesus to be crucified. However, Macbeth mentions that all of the water in the sea would turn red from the blood on his hands; which leads me to the conclusion that blood was a much more powerful symbol than water in this play. In Macbeth, light and dark was used in a classic sense. ...

... eerie when looking back upon it. Alone, it seems as if he knows that he is ill fated, but reading on he clarifies his pain in this way; "Each of you suffers in himself alone/His anguish, not another's; but my spirit/Groans for the city, for myself, for you" (Sophocles 5). His pain is not his future; it is the plague of the country. The same basic prophecy of Oedipus is proven in many characters. No matter how many times a specific character tried to play off fate and try to get rid of the situation it stayed exactly the same. Teiresias, the oracle, knows the end of all fates. He knows that fate control eve ...

... fulfilling this horrible destiny. However, the story is also about his character, which plays an integral part in bringing his prophecy to life. If he was more cautious throughout the course of his life after finding out his prophecy, he may have avoided it; however, he is often inattentive to the occurrences around him. Several details in the story “Oedipus the King� are a result of fate. For instance, Oedipus is forewarned of his fate. When he went to Delphi as a young man, he was told that he was “doomed to sleep with [his] my mother, doomed to murder [his] my father (1080).� For most of his life he ...

... It deals with one king, Oedipus, and his plight to avenge the death of his predecessor, King Laios. In his determined search to find the murderer, he establishes a proclamation which would demand the banishment and even the death of the murderer. In his ironic action, the reader discovers that this murderer that Oedipus is so determined to discover is none other than Oedipus himself. In adhesion to the definition of literature, this tragic plot reveals to the reader three main commentaries about the nature of man: man cannot escape his past, pride is the sin which leads man to greater evils, and although the life of ...

... folly of his judgment. Reduced to a simple man, Lear is forced to learn the lessons that God's anointed is already supposed to know. This is the purpose of the secondary characters of King Lear; they serve to show the many complex facets of Lear's complex personality, as they force him to finally get in touch with his self-conscious. For example, the Fool, oddly enough, acts as the voice of reason for the out-of -touch King. He views events critically and thus seems to foreshadow situations that an ignorant Lear is completely oblivious to. This is evident in act 1, scene 1, when a prodding Fool asks the ki ...

... and working in order to care for the family. I think Gilbert resents his mother because of all of the things he misses out on. I also think he might blame his mother for his father killing himself, but at the same time he blames his father for his situation as well as his mother situation. I think this theory comes into play when his mother dies, and he goes into the basement and destroys it since it is where his father killed himself. Gilbert’s sister Amy really feels like she is the mother. She has so much responsibility that she has no life, or any friends. His other sister Ellen give the impression tha ...
