Romeo And Juliet: Errors By The Characters
... most significant error in this play is made by Romeo Montague
and his friend Benvolio. This is the error that sets up the rest of them
throughout the story. They have to disgiuse themselves in order to get
into the Capulet household, who is hosting a ball. By doing so, they
easily manipulate the servant into letting both of them in. Before
entering, Romeo replies to Benvolio, “ I’ll go along, no such sight to be
shown, but to rejoice in spledor of mine own.” (I,iii, 105-106) It is
evident in the opening scenes that there is conflict between the households
of the Montagues and the Capulets, who ...

Twelfth Night: Two Faces, One Mind
... important as the events take
place. The majority of the plot lines depend on the disguise. Without it, the
main theme of the play would be the gulling of Malvolio. In a play where most of
the characters fall in love with each other, blind to the gender and true
identity of the objects of their desires, a disguise like Viola's becomes the
center of the action, and causes almost all the of the important aspects of the
play.
The confusion that Sebastian creates when he returns would not occur
without Viola's disguise. Sir Andrew believes that the woman of his desires,
Olivia, is spending too much time with Cesario, an ...

Twelfth Night: Summary
... other about Olivia's decision to
morn for seven years. They are also talking about Sir Toby's drinking and friend,
Sir Andrew, a foolish knight that has been brought to the castle as a suitor to
Olivia. Sir Andrew says he is going to leave, but Sir Toby persuades him not to,
as Olivia is not interested in the Duke. Maria leaves, and Andrew and Toby dance.
Scene Four
Viola, already disguised as Cesario (she is referred to as Cesario
instead of Viola throughout the play), has already became a servant to the Duke.
Her first job is to try and persuade Olivia to go out with the Duke. Viola has
fallen in love with ...

Hamlet: Character Traits
... only natural and that Hamlet's
father lost his father too. He is informing Hamlet that he is mourning
too much for his deceased father and he should try to get over it. Another
example of Hamlet's emotions getting the better of him can be seen when he
is reminiscing his father's death. Hamlet says, "...How stand I then,/That
have father killed, a mother stained,...2". He is asking himself what kind
of a person he is if he can allow his father to be murdered and his mother
to be married so soon after his father's death to his uncle. This shows us
that he is pitying himself and is putting himself down. Yet anothe ...

Macbeth: A Good Man
... Macbeth's honor and bravery to king Duncan in act I, scene 2.
"For brave Macbeth_well he deserves that name_ Disdaining fortune, with his
brandish'd steel, Which smoked with bloody execution, Like valour's minion
carved out his passage Till he faced the slave;_"
Macbeth defended his king's honor as well as his own, as Shakespeare showed
a good man never backed down from a foe. In the later acts of the play,
Shakespeare furthered the definition of a good man by portraying what a bad
one was not. In Macbeth's darkest hours, he showed no sign of prudence and
logic as he slayed king Duncan, and hired assassins ...

Creon's Role Of King And His Responsibilities
... first, if you think any
one/ would choose to rule and fear rather than rule and sleep" (36.584-585). By
this, Creon means that the main difference between his position and the king's
is that of the accompanying action to ruling. In both positions, one is a ruler
who holds great power over the state. However, the king is placed in a greater
place of accountability to the people. This accountability is what Creon says
inspires "fear" in the king, for if affairs of state or of the people fall into
decline, the king is the first person whom the citizenry look to blame. This is
analogous to executive leaders t ...

Romeo And Juliet: Various Types Of Love
... feel no grief. If the woman rejects
the man initially, he should still feel no grief. In either situation, the
man should simply start a relationship with anot her woman. Benvolio's
definition of love shows the audience two things about Ben volio: he is a
womanizer and he has never before experienced "true love." The next
definition of love comes from Romeo, but before the time he met Juliet.
According to his definition, love (or, rather, not returned love) is pain.
He h ides from the sun due to the "love" he feels, and does not act like
"himself." I believe Romeo is both right and wrong: not returned love is
pain, ...

The Effects Of Advertising On Society
... can truly live up to its claims. The relation between a product and
the achievement of a good is an objective truth, though the goodness of said
product may not be. The statement that Product X will make you more popular,
solve your problems, or let you lead a happy life (statements usually implied in
these advertisements) are generally not true. When advertisers make these
statements, therefore, they are directly misleading the public. The other
tactic used, however, is a bigger problem, being not only harder to identify but
having more problematic effects. Since society likes to think of the good as a
subject ...

Andy Warhol And Pop Art
... This makes it possible to talk of the iconography or
attitudes of Pop art, but not of Pop art as an art style, as one would
speak of Baroque or Cubism." (Bondo, 1998)
In America, Pop Art used the images and techniques of mass media,
advertising, and popular culture, often in an ironic way to play off the
social issues of popular culture. The art form developed rapidly once
reaching the U.S. New York City, often viewed as the epicenter of American
popular culture, fostered the growth of many of the most highly regarded
pop artists, including Warhol, Rosenquist, Segal and Lichtenstein.

Macbeth: A Mature Man Of Established Character
... in 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, p ...
