Macbeth - Nature Vs. The Unnatural
... Now o’er the one-half world
Nature seems dead, and wicked dreams abuse
The curtained sleep. (53)
"Nature seems dead" because human life also seems dead, and as people are silent and in shock from Duncan’s death. Nature reacts in the same way that humans do by seeming dead.
After the murder, nature continues to act. It suddenly became cold, referring to the cold-blooded murder. Nature didn’t stop with cold weather however, it brought upon storms and even an earthquake:
Some say the earth
Was feverous and did shake. (65)
The earth shaking symbolizing the humans fear and shock of the recent eve ...

Violence On Television: Violence Is Everywhere
... The television set is a virtual fire hose of violence being forced into our
minds. Whenever there is a boxing match that is a bigger fight than usual, Pay-
Per-View is always there charging anywhere from thirty to sixty dollars so we
can all sit back, relax, and watch two men(or women) dance around a ring and
beat the brains out of each other. God I love America! Even on basic cable we
have these wonderful children's programs like The Mighty Morphine Power Rangers,
cartoons (eventhogh I love them), and the V.R. Troopers, to name a couple.
Surprise! they are either based on fighting or getting smashed by trucks ...

they swam acrossed it because the littlest dirt from any clothing would
contaminate the pureness of the water. All the cave explorers are very cautious
as to what they touch or where they step because some of the crystal formations
are so fragile that the slightest vibration from a voice or a footstep could
ruin millions of years of forming. In some parts of caves there are giant and
very smooth ice formations that must be slid down very carefully because if they
are not taken cautiously you will pick up to much speed while sliding and
finally hit some kind of stone wall or something. On ...

Macbeth: Characteristics Of Macbeth That Led To His Downfall
... choice
to choose over salvation of the next world and material gain of this one.
Ambition is always good...to an extent. An overambitious person, Macbeth is too
intrigued by the witches' prediction that he ignores all of the years of loyalty
and ethics to his king for his own selfishness. And in the end, apparently,
Macbeth's ambition is stronger than his conscience.
In addition, Macbeth's ambition caused him to do desperate things.
Desperation. in my opinion, dug Macbeth's own grave. When the subject of
Macduff arrives, I don't think that he would have been so bitter towards Macbeth
if he hadn't killed his ...

Time And Fate In Romeo And Juliet
... compare her with other "beauties."
Benvolio predicts, "Compare her face with some that I shall show,/ And I will
make thee think thy swan a crow." (I, ii, l 86-87) To show his appreciation,
the servant asks for Romeo's presence at the ball. Romeo should have
considered the servant's warning; if Romeo occupies the name of Montague, he
shall not be permitted. Once at the ball, Romeo is searching for a maiden to
substitute the unrequited love of Rosaline. Romeo happens to gaze upon Juliet,
who charms Romeo. Romeo proclaims, " Did my heart love till now? Forswear it,
sight!/ For ne'er saw true beauty till this night." ...

Gossip In Grover’s Corners
... Wednesday [Dr. Gibbs]. Yessir. My schoolteacher, Miss Foster, ‘s
getting married to a fella over in Concord [Joe Crowell, Jr.] (Wilder,
828).” Gossip allows people to learn more about their community without
having to ask each person what is going on in their lives. Instead people
talk about others thus creating gossip. An example of a conversation about
a birth of a baby is when Howie Newsome sees Dr. Gibbs and asks if
something is wrong. “Somebody sick?[Howie Newsome]. Pair of twins over to
Mrs. Goruslawski’s [Dr. Gibbs]. Twins, eh? This town’s gettin’ bigger
every year [Howie] (Wilde ...

Hamlet: Moral Order
... always taking
precautions to ensure this remains so. Claudius, on the other hand, not
only murders Hamlet's father, but then plots to do away with Hamlet as soon
as he feels threatened. As the play progresses, Hamlet continues
attempting to right the original wrong, but only succeeds at the finish,
with Claudius' death. Hamlet's words in Act III, Scene IV -- "thus bad
begins, and worse remains behind" illustrate the moral order well; the
actions against him were wrong, but, to a lesser extent, so was his revenge.
Near the start of the play, The Ghost tells Hamlet of the crime
committed by Claudius. When ...

The Supernatural In Hamlet And Macbeth
... is very
important in Hamlet and Macbeth.
A ghost, appearing in the form of Hamlet¹s father, makes several
appearances in the play. It first appears to the watchmen, Marcellus and
Bernardo, along with Horatio near the guardsmens' post. The ghost says
nothing to them and is perceived with fear and apprehension, ³It harrows
me with fear and wonder². It is not until the appearance of Hamlet that
the ghost speaks, and only then after Horatio has expressed his fears
about Hamlet following it, ³What if it tempt you toward the flood, my lord,
or to the dreadful summit of the cliff².
The conversation b ...

The Tragedy Of King Richard III: Richard
... The lessened tragedy of Richard III lies in the isolation of Richard as given in the hints of his physical, spiritual, and social isolation, which is developed throughout the play.
The first scene of the play begins with a soliloquy, which emphasizes Richard's physical isolation, as he appears alone and speaks to the audience. This idea of physical isolation is heightened by his references to his deformity, such as "rudely stamp'd... Cheated of feature by dissembling Nature,/ deformed, unfinished" (I, i, 19). This deformity would be an outward indication to the audience of the viciousness of his spirit. ...
