Macbeth: A Tragic Hero
... witches say “All hail, Macbeth! hail
to thee, thane of Glamis! All hail, Macbeth! hail to thee, thane of
Cawdor! All hail Macbeth, that shalt be king hereafter!” (A 1, S 3, 48).
Here, Macbeth is interested in what the witches have to say, but he does
not really believe them. A few minutes later, Ross enters. He tells
Macbeth that the thane of Cawdor is in line for death and that Duncan has
named Macbeth the new thane of Cawdor. Now, Macbeth is absolutely shocked.
The witches prophecy has come true! He can not believe it! But now
Macbeth has a lot more on his mind; the third prophecy about becoming the

Happy Loman: A Living Disgrace
... make him happy (107-8). When Happy and Biff come home after deserting
their father at the restaurant, Happy attempts to cool his mom's anger by
saying "But, Mom, he had a great time with us...(120)" By telling people
what they want to hear, Happy thinks he will be well liked and accepted.
Happy's approach to women is quite despicable. Rather than trying
to settle down with someone, he goes through one girl after another. All
that he cares about is having sex with women, not about having a
relationship. Happy brags to his brother about his conquest of sleeping
with women who are engaged to be married (25). In ...

The Crucible: The Deterioration Of Salem During The Witch Trials
... isolated from any other group of people with different beliefs
created a church led Puritan society that was not able to accept a lot of
change. The church was against the devil, at the same time it was against such
things as dancing and other premature acts. The reputation of the family was
very important to the members of the community. When the girls were caught
dancing in the woods, they lied to protect not just themselves but the
reputation of their families. They claimed that the devil took them over and
influenced them to dance. The girls also said that they saw members of the town
standing with the devil ...

Macbeth: Blood
... shows his guilt in different forms.
The first reference of blood is one of honour, and occurs when Duncan sees
the injured sergeant and says "What bloody man is that?". This is symbolic of
the brave fighter who been injured in a valiant battle for his country. In the
next passage, in which the sergeant says "Which smok'd with bloody execution",
he is referring to Macbeth's braveness in which his sword is covered in the hot
blood of the enemy.
After these few references to honour, the symbol of blood now changes to
show a theme of treachery and treason. Lady Macbeth starts this off when she
asks the spi ...

Dead Man Walking
... to "give back" during the film and appeared to be completely
serious about her commitment to helping others. Sister Helen did not wear her
habit during the course of the film. Many people have a stereotypical vision of
Catholic nuns: the habit, seemingly out-of-touch thoughts and ideals, and older
and/or without any vitality. Sister Helen showed what being a Catholic and a
Catholic nun is truly about. She accepted a call for help from a complete
stranger. Instead of turning away or giving up, she persisted, showing what
love and, in a way, courage could do under such dire circumstances. Through it
all, she did i ...

Seinfeld
... Love Lucy. This shows cast resembles the cast of I Love Lucy because
both casts have conflicting personalities. In Seinfeld for example, George and
Jerry's personalities are the exact opposite. George is a total neurotic, while
Jerry has a take it easy personality. Same for I Love Lucy, Lucy is always the
leader and Ethel is always the follower. Without coherence Seinfeld would never
be where it is today.
Seinfeld is very original in the ideas they use for there shows. This is
where the show starts to resemble The Honeymooners and there unique ideas. The
Honeymooners' ideas were very unique for their time. L ...

The Destruction Of Macbeth?
... had over her husband commanded Macbeth to kill the king and obtain what was rightfully his. This is a weak excuse for Macbeth’s downfall though, because she believed in her heart that her husband deserved to be king and nothing should get in the way of that. It was wrong for her to persuade Macbeth to kill the king, and she knew this, which is why she felt so horrible for her wrong doing that she killed herself.
The second reason for Macbeth’s downfall is because of the three witches. This is a better reason for his downfall than that of his wife because these witches knew exactly what to say to spark th ...

Death In Hamlet
... his quest to avenge his father's death. Hamlet died a morally acceptable death that was a result of his loyalty as a son for the honor of his father. King Hamlet returned from his grave as a ghost to tell Hamlet that he was "Doomed for a certain term to walk the night…Till the foul crimes done in (his) day of nature were burnt and purged away".

Claudius became aware that Hamlet knew the ...

... qualities. Before they could determine the meaning behind the ghost's
appearance, the Elizabethans had to classify the ghost in one of the four
categories. Similar to the modern definition, the Elizabethans believed in the
possibility of the ghost being an actual dead person sent to perform some task
or mission. On the other hand, the ghost could be the devil disguised in the
form of a deceased loved one, tempting to procure the soul of one of the living.
The nonbelievers among the Elizabethans saw ghosts as omens, telling of troubled
time ahead, or simply as the hallucinations of a crazed person or group.
