... people that he cares about, namely his family and friends. The queen, Gertrude, is hamlet's mother and she is probably the living being that he cares about the most. Unfortunately, one of Hamlet's qualities, which is revealed in conversation with his mother, is a negative one and that is anger. His quality is displayed through Hamlet's soliloquy in Act 1, Scene 2, Lines 131© 161. Hamlet is angry at his mother for marrying a new husband, his uncle, Claudius, so quickly after his father's death. This anger shines through in such phrases such as "Frailty, thy name is woman!"(Act 1,Sc 2, L148) and "Like Niobe, al ...

... tend to take control of their children's lives. Puck and Charlie are both pranksters. Cameron and Helena are insensitive. And this list of people's similarities could go on and on. Characters from the movie "Dead Poet's Society" have similar traits as Shakespeare' s characters in the play "A Midsummer Night's Dream". This just shows how characters from two totally unrelated stories are similar. Both Mr. Perry and Egeus want to have total control over their children's lives. Egeus and Mr. Perry made the most important choices their children would ever have, rather than letting them run their own lives. Egeus states ...

... power over an army and Oberon has a mysterious right-hand man known as Puck who does Oberon's dirty work using majic. Another quality they have in common is that they keep a promise. Theseus is a man of his word and if he says something, you can count on it to be done. Oberon will not take anything lightly. If something is not done, he will do it himself or call on Puck. Theseus and Oberon are also very different in many ways. Their minds function alike in some ways but very different in other situations. Theseus is always open to suggestions and trys to make the right choice by his own discretion. Oberon will ...

... Hamlet and is devastated when he shuns her and pretends to be mad. Hamlet's treatment towards these two women shapes and brings life to their characters and eventually bring s an end to their characters as well. Gertrude is a kind and loving mother. The kind that guards after her son through thick and through thin and loves unconditionally. Hamlet had suspected her of aiding in the killing of King Hamlet. That will be discussed later. Her character is the one character in the play that I believe does not develop but rather stays identical to the scene in which she is introduced(Act I, scene II). She is show ...

... do not really suffer any hugely adverse consequences. The play by no means has a happy ending, but nevertheless, though divine intervention Orestes and Electra escape from the scene of the crime relatively unscathed, not counting for the emotional suffering and guilt they feel over their actions. In my opinion this does not, however, make Electra an inferior tragedy as for the criminals to die would, in a sense, provide an escape from what they have done. Instead they must live with the knowledge of their crime for the rest of their lives. The tragedy in Electra is not simply confined to the action of the play, a ...

... of murdering the king was put forth I know you were hesitant on acting, but I just had to have my ambition fulfilled. So I pushed you and now I realise that my persistence was not in our best interests, and I'm sorry for it. Perhaps if I had left the decision to your judgement we would have been better off. What I did I only did for you. For you to be king, how could I for see that we would be worse off. Just the idea that you would be king "would cheer me ever", but I knew I had to push you to fulfill your potential. But doubt crept into my mind on the fateful night of Duncans murder. I would have done it myself ...

... results of the hypocrisy and hysteria of the time. Also present in the play were associations between Miller and his fight to end the communist hunt, and the fight by characters in the play to end the witch hunts. During the two time periods discussed, hypocrisy and hysteria played a major role in causing the instability in the people. This instability gave certain people uncontrollable amounts of power. In Salem, many people turned on one another to save themselves from being victims of the witch hunts. These people were rather hypocritical and deceitful to their friends because they would often turn them in un ...

... you can't say that about her "Physical" and "Twist of Fate" days of the 80's. This is also her only good movie -- you can't say anything nice about XANADU, so don't say anything at all. People also love GREASE because it's the quintessential 50's nostalgia movie. It has everything, from the slumber party and malt shop to the dance contest and drag race. Better yet, it has a sense of humor about those days, to the point of including ultimate icon Frankie Avalon in the "Beauty School Dropout" dream sequence. That brings up the main draw of GREASE -- the music. As I type this, at least one Top 40 station across the co ...

... But there were those daring rescues from the Coast Guard during the storm that saved the lives of many and cost the life of one. These men risked their lives for the safety of others’; thus, they have earned the title of “hero.� The pararescue jumpers and pilots, our heroes in The Perfect Storm, had a responsibility to the well being of everyone at sea. When a distress call was made, it was their duty to answer it to the best of their ability. It seemed “to the best of their ability� meant do the job until they died trying. These men had undergone extensive training in their fields to prep ...

... and filled with pride as he was in the beginning of the play instead he is weak, scared, and a confused old man. At the end of the play Lear has completely lost his sanity with the loss of his daughter Cordelia and this is the thing that breaks Lear and leads to his death. In the beginning, King Lear shows his need for praise is how he chooses to divide his kingdom among his daughters. The one who praises him with the most "gusto" shall receive the largest area of land. This is even more evident when you consider that he already has divided up the kingdom before the praising even begins. As evident as he giv ...
