... and her beauty.
Katherine tries to start fights with Bianca all of the time. She even hit

find a wife. “I come to wives it wealthy in Padua; If wealthy, then happily in

The Crucible: Reverend John Hale - A Dynamic Character
... of this is
when he said to Betty, “In nomine Domini Sabaoth sui filiique ite ad
infernos,” which means: In the name of the lord of hosts and his son get
thee to the lower world. This shows reverend Hales views on witchery.
Another example of Hale's character and his savings of witches is when he
said, “Now Tituba, I know that when we bind ourselves to Hell it is very
hard to break with it. We are going to help you tear yourself free-”
The point when Reverend Hale begins to change is in Act III during
the trial of John Proctor. “I am a minister of the lord, and I dare not
take a life without there b ...

Macbeth Is A Tragic Hero
... although he is not perfect. He has
a good heart and is in a keen state of mind before he hears the witches'
prophecy. Macbeth does not begin to become evil until he is convinced to act on
the prophecy by Lady Macbeth. Lady Macbeth is the evil one who poisons
Macbeth's mind; although, she is only encouraging her husband to do what she
feels is in his best interest.
The hero's downfall is his own fault, the result of his own free choice,

contributing factor in the hero's downfall, but are not alone responsible.
Macbeth's downfall is entirely ...

Death Of A Salesman: Willy's Life
... disease, even though he has no trouble
remembering things. He does a lot of unconscious rambling or talking out
loud to himself about his obsessions. I don’t know if that is a symptom of
Alzheimer’s or not, but I believe the author was trying to show that he
wasn’t in a right state of mind. The author explains this as too many years
on the road and too much pressure to succeed.
His family and friends keep referring to him as a good man, but I
don’t see that. As they flashback to the past and show him with his sons he
is still the obsessive man that he is in the present, it’s just in the past
his sons are ...

A Midsummer Night's Dream: Contrast In Human Mentality
... The human struggle to
suppress its unrestrained and irrational tendencies, still being undertaken
today, discourages the ‘civilized' man from making rash and foolish actions.
Thus every action should have a sound and logical purpose, based on the social
norms.
In the play, Egeus, the father of Hermia, has thoughtfully chosen what
he considers an acceptable mate to wed his daughter. Egeus most likely based
his decision on economic, political, and social factors in his choosing of
Demetrius. He is making a reasonable decision based on Hermia's future in their
society. Unfortunately Hermia is smitten by Ly ...

The Crucible: Deterioration Of Social Order In Salem
... allow for any variation in lifestyle. The strict society that was
employed at this time had a detrimental effect on the Proctor family. John
Proctor, a hard working farmer who had a bad season the year before and
struggling this year was occasionally absent at Sunday service. This was due to
the fact he needed to tend to his crops. Also, Proctor did not agree with the
appointment of Mr. Parris as the newest minister, and therefore did not have
his last child baptized. With the latest craze of witchery and swirling
accusations, John Proctor was easily indicted of being a messenger for the
devil by the testimony of ...
