Forbidden Planet Comparison To Shakespeare's The Tempest
... the technology presented in Forbidden Planet is not meant to be
understood by the audience, but rather is, for all intents and purposes, magic.
This is undoubtedly in part because the technology doesn't exist and therefore
cannot be explained to us. What is more important, however, is that how the
technology works is irrelevant for the purpose of the movie, which is to
entertain and to teach us a lesson about man's control over the elements and
over his own technological creations.
At this point a brief synopsis of the movie would seem to be in order,
with special attention as to how it relates to The T ...

Exploring Sexuality In "Taming Of The Shrew"
... Kate instead. However, they make it clear that none of them could desire
Kate. "Mates, maid? How mean you that? No mates for you unless you were of a
gentler, milder, mold" (I,i, lines 58 - 60). From this it is clear that the men
in the play prefer a better "mold" than Kate, in other words, she does not carry
herself as well as Bianca. Kate does not play the coy flirting games, and is
therefore thought of as harsher than Bianca.
Bianca, however, knows how to be flirtatious, witty, and coy around her
admirers, and yet is almost intentionally mean to Kate. For instance, Bianca
knows that it hurts Kate to ...

Hamlet: Act V-Scene 2 - The Climax
... He was able to find in the dark the commission for his own death; by chance, he
had in his possession his father's signet for sealing the forged document. No
less by chance, the pirates proved kind and, for sufficient compensation, they
returned him to Denmark.
Throughout the play, after we have itemized Claudius' major crimes, the
Prince does not receive an answer to his question, one which is basic to his
status as a moral symbol in the play:
- is't not perfect conscience,
To quit him with this arm? And is't not to be damn'd,
To let this canker of out nature come
In further evil?
It has been s ...

Macbeth: Guilty By His Actions Then Lady Macbeth Is By Hers
... Lady Macbeth did not have any
involvement in these cases. Based on these facts, Macbeth would be found
more guilty than Lady Macbeth.
The very first murder in this story was committed on Duncan. This crime
was planned by both Macbeth and Lady Macbeth. The actual murder was done by
Macbeth, making him more guilty of the crime. Lady Macbeth just talked
about committing the crime, but she never actually went through with it nor
would she ever, and that is all that counts. Talking about committing the
incident is very different from actually doing it. Lady Macbeth did a
little more than just talk about it thoug ...

Julius Caesar
... glorification and
happiness. Other scenes depict how throughout Rome, roaming the streets
are mysterious sooth-sayers, who are supposedly given the power to predict
the future. Dictating what is to come through terse tidbits, these people
may also be looked upon as superstitious. In the opening scene, one sooth-
sayer, old in his years, warns Caesar to "Beware the Ides of March," an
admonition of Caesar's impending death. Although sooth-sayers are looked
upon by many as insane out of touch lower classmen, a good deal of them,
obviously including the sayer Caesar encountered, are indeed right on the
mark. Since ...

Macbeth: The Weird Sisters
... addressing him
as Thane of Cawdor, Thane of Glamis and future king, without ordering him to do
anything to obtain these positions.
All hail, Macbeth! hail to thee, Thane of Glamis!
All hail, Macbeth! hail to thee, Thane of Cawdor!
All hail, Macbeth! that shalt be King hereafter.
(Act 1, Scene 3, Lines 48-50) With this
information Macbeth was provided with incentive to kill Duncan the King of
Scotland. He was tempted into believing that if the King was murdered, he was
to become what the witches predicted. While the witches never said this,
Macbeth assumed that that ...

Julius Caesar: Loyalty
... death. Why would men that loved and respected one
kill them? Loyalty is the answer. A feeling of loyalty for your country
that surpassed the loyalty of righteous virtues. Perhaps if loyalty had
not been involved, the country of Rome would not have been torn apart. Or
perhaps if loyalty to all and everything had been involved a great ruler
named Caesar would have reigned for years. If the people of Rome would
have remained loyal to Caesar perhaps a war would not have occurred, in
fact, it most certainly would not have. After the death, the angry mob
should have put the conspirators to death, not let them toy ...

Interpretation Of Ibsen's "A Doll's House"
... during the course of the play eventually to realize that she must
discontinue the role of a doll and seek out her individuality.
David Thomas describes the initial image of Nora as that of a doll wife
who revels in the thought of luxuries that can now be afforded, who is become
with flirtation, and engages in childlike acts of disobedience (259). This
inferior role from which Nora progressed is extremely important. Ibsen in his
"A Doll's House" depicts the role of women as subordinate in order to emphasize
the need to reform their role in society.
Definite characteristics of the women's subordinate role in a
rel ...

Macbeth: Corruption
... can acquire anything, lying, bribing,
coning, or stealing. With these in mind anybody in power could become a powerful
foe.
The reason why corruption has become a problem is because it's fair to become
greedy for more. And soon it gets out of control and now you have a corrupted
person who in order to change would have to step out of power and become a
person who doesn't control.
Nothing can really be done to sustain it or avoid it, if you take a corrupt
person in power and replace a fair and just person. Sooner or later they also
become corrupt. You just have to assume and hope the replacement will be a fair

Lysander does not understand why his not good enough for her, so he argues with Egeus and Theseus the Duke and he tries to change their minds.
