... by what we see")" (Weals). Orgon believes because Tartuffe claims to be a man of God he should put everything he has into Tartuffe's hands. He proves how much he believes this after Damis tells him that Tartuffe was flirting with Elmire. From this accusation Orgon replies to Damis: "I disinherit you; an empty purse / Is all you'll get from me - except my curse!" (III, vii , 68). Madame Pernelle shows the family trait that she shares with her son when she states: "He's a fine man, and should be listened to."(I, i ,44), while speaking of Tartuffe. Although they share this trait throughout the play, Orgon's eyes are ...

... emotional, sexual, or absolute, respectively. These don't really sound like choices to me, nor do they sound like choices to Hermia. Woman, especially daughters, were to do what men commanded. Another example of how woman were seen as second class citizens is how they were supposed to treat men. Theseus proclaims to Hermia that she should see her father as a God for he alone is responsible for her being. No mention is made of Hermia's mother. It seemed to be the view at this time that men were wholly responsible for the creation of children and woman were just a vessel for the birthing. Which is curious beca ...

... who treats Ophelia so cruelly, who slays Polonius and then speaks of lugging the guts into another room. Most interpreters of Hamlet start with the assumption that the tragic hero has a clear and sacred obligation to kill Claudius and to do so without delay. The question is then why does he wait so long to do so. It is argued that if Hamlet had taken prompt action, Gertrude, Polonius, Ophelia, Rosencrantz, Guildenstern, Laertes, and Hamlet himself may have survived. A reason must then be drawn from one's own interpretations of Hamlet. Following two renound interpretations of Hamlet, two major conclusions can be m ...

... from the witches. If Macbeth did not have any influence from the witches than he probably would not be thinking about killing Duncan to become King. But with the witches help this idea was thrust to the front of his mind and he thinks that he should kill Duncan because the witches say that it is his destiny. I am sure that Macbeth would not be as hesitant if the idea to kill Duncan came from his head without the witches help. I say this because when you reason things out by yourself you tend to now what is right and what is wrong, a conscience. But with the outside influence from the witches he thinks that th ...

... of the imagery in Macbeth indicates that fate plays a prominant role in advancing the plot. The characters most easily identified with having supernatural powers are, obviously, the three witches. The Witches' ability to see into the future is demonstrated when Macbeth becomes thane of Cawdor. The line, "What? Can the devil speak true?" showes Banquo's surprise at the realization of the prophecy. But, would the Witches' prophecy of Macbeth's royal promotion have come true had they not made Macbeth aware of the possibility? There was no reason to warn Macbeth of the fate in store for him, since it is most lik ...

... Mercutio, another Montague. Romeo kill's Tybalt, and as a punishment, he is to leave Verona and never return. The Friar has a plan to unite again Romeo and Juliet, who is supposed to marry Paris by her father demand. The friar makes a potion who will cause Juliet a temporary death-alike situation, and she will not have to marry Paris. Juliet agrees, drinks the portion and apparently die, and the Friar sends a messenger to inform Romeo, but the messenger fail to reach Romeo, and instead a friend of Romeo reaches him and tells him that Juliet is dead because he didn't knew that Juliet is only apparently dead because of ...

... lonely, although no longer violent. A radical political group then exploits him as an example of the cruelty of "the Government." This faction tries to force Alex to suicide in order to gain a martyr, but Alex's attempt fails and he is nursed back to health and his natural mental state by the Government, who in the end comes out on top. Alex, whose last name is not mentioned in the book, is a violent, aggressive teenager of fifteen, who is the leader of a four-person gang. He truly enjoys violence, reveling in the sight of blood or weapons. Alex's love of hate is not simply a rebellious emotion, but as he explain ...

... however the animals as subject matter related to family lineage as opposed to subsistence. These animals and spirits were expressed through crests, house front poles, and totem poles. The crests were drawn with controlled and modulating lines, and were often found on the exterior of their cedar dwellings, as well as blankets and skirts. The Northwest people made masks for their ceremonies, many of which had moveable facial features. They also made wooden effigy helmets and clan hats that represented the groups crest animal. In California, basketry was a distinguishing feature. The baskets had natural and ge ...

... church. If you new Latin you were considered as an educated person. Shakespeare did not have a dull life. Besides the holidays, Stratford had popular pageants and shows. One of the plays was about the legendary Robin Hood and his marry men. In November 1582, he received a license to marry Anne Hathaway. At the time of there marriage, Shakespeare was 18 and Anne was 26. Their first child, Susanna, was baptized on May 26, 1583. In 1585 Anne Shakespeare gave birth to twins. A boy named Hamnet and a girl named Judith. Hamnet did not survive. Shakespeare arrived in London about 1588 and by 1592 and had success as ...

... a new title: "Thane of Cawdor". "For brave Macbeth-well he deserves that name. Disdaining fortune, with his brandish'd steel, Which smoked with bloody execution, Like valour's minion carv'd out his passage, Till he fac'd the slave." (Act 1, Scene 2, Lines 16-20). However, after the murder of Banquo, his ambition and superstitious nature clouded his morals and common sense. Pride and ambition were a main contributor to his faltering public image of a brave hero. Macbeth's own nature and "metaphysical" influences is a lethal cocktail which propels him to his fate. The witches' ambiguous prophesies affected ...
