... person feel better. I personally feel that if more people were as honest and straight forward as Alceste, there would be less conflict. People would be more forthright and truthful resulting in better relationships. Another reason you can relate to Alceste in today's society is his attitude toward the love of his life, Celimene. His devotion to her blinds all the mean and cruel things she does to him. She has other love interests, but Alceste still loves her. No matter what she does to him, Alceste always is at her disposal. Celimene's flirtatious actions have all of the men bidding for her attention. When A ...

He was murdered, because in order for MacBeth to fulfill his plan and become king, Duncan would have to di ...

... Commencing in a truth?/ I am Thane of Cawdor" (1.3.144-147). The second set of predictions from the witches make Macbeth think he is invincible. "Then live, Macduff. What need I fear of thee" (4.1.92)? Is what Macbeth says when he learns none of woman born can harm him. Macbeth loses his feel good attitude when he learns the answer to his question about Banquo's descendants. "Horrible sight! Now I see 'tis true;/ For the blood- boltered Banquo smiles upon me/ And points at them for his" (4.1.136-138). In the end Macbeth believes in the prophecies to make his own fate. He was fighting Macduff successfully, ...

... park rides simulate the destruction of earthquakes, fire, floods, and fear is instilled by roller coasters. Our society takes part in the communion of mass murder and destruction because it seems to protect us from having to deal with the shock of death and recognizing it. In Psycho, Hitchcock revealed out “shock of recognition� by not letting us see the cutting and death in the shower scene. Films made after Psycho usually refer back to this scene, either working with or against the unseen cuts of the knife. An example of a film that works with the shower scene in Psycho is obviously displayed in de Pa ...

... because Brutus is one of Caesars closest friends. Caesar even says, “Doth not Brutus bootless kneel?�(III, I, 75) Which means that if Brutus, his best friend, cannot sway Caesar, then no one can. His noble blindness is a bad trait because he is taken advantage of easily. Cassius knows about Brutus’ love for Rome and his closeness to Caesar and he uses that in his plans.

In all actuality, the main reason Cassius uses Brutus in his plans is for an “insurance policy.� The people know Brutus’ nobilit ...

... the best chance he will obtain in the play. Hamlet is also a procrastinator and this is demonstrated many times in the play. In line eighty he says "Why, this is hire and salary, not revenge". He knows that he must kill Claudius but he postpones it. This almost suggests that Hamlet does not really want to kill Claudius, but feels obligated to do so. Through his over-analysis he seems to be almost talking himself out of doing his job. One of Hamlet's most renown traits is his over-analysis of conversational topics and situations in which action must be taken. An example of his over-analytical nature is ...

... led a stressful life and drugs was his escape from society. This was Jim's way of dealing with his problems. Jim has a very poor outlook on the church. Partly, because of his experiences with his teachers. He did not have a personal relationship with the priests. He felt that they were trying to control him. Jim was not very receptive to authority. He hated it. Whenever, someone tries to force him to do something he turns his back on them. This lack of respect of authority could because of lack of male influence in his life.

... buying golden opinions from all sorts of people. But we must not, therefore, deny him an entirely human complexity of motives. For example, his fighting in Duncan's service is magnificent and courageous, and his evident joy in it is traceable in art to the natural pleasure which accompanies the explosive expenditure of prodigious physical energy and the euphoria which follows. He also rejoices no doubt in the success which crowns his efforts in battle - and so on. He may even conceived of the proper motive which should energize back of his great deed: The service and the loyalty I owe, In doing it, pays itself. But w ...
