... that she helped him to get everything for him. The following speech where Lady Macbeth doubts that he can get to the title of King "he is too full of the milk of human kindness" shows just how close they were. It establishes the fact that she knew him so well, she knew what he was like and it emphasises the closeness of their relationship. She speaks of how he has enough ambition but not enough courage. His "overiding ambition" is not enough. When Macbeth and Lady Macbeth speak, they speak to eachother with such closeness and bond; he calls her his "dearest chuck", his "partner of greatness". She knows that he is too ...

... plague’s mystery. Unwillingly and out of frustration from Oedipus, Teiresias says, “I charge you, then, abide by the proclamation you have made: from this day forth never speak again to these men or me; You yourself are the pollution of this country� (ln.334-338). His bold and surprising prophecy does nothing but infuriates an already angry king. Oedipus refuses to believe in such profound accusations, but ironically he is in actuality the true suspect. The reader understands this truth and cannot help but feel disturbed and worried about the fate of Oedipus. The news from the messenger of Corinth seems to brin ...

... could possibly been averted if the kickoff were delayed but the man "in charge" refused to delay. Just as at the "Who" concert the people in the rear of the line were in an acquisitive panic to get into the stadium. This pressure was recognized by the police in the front of the line and due to poor communication nothing could be done to stop it. A large gate "gate C" was finally opened to let off the pressure in front. This is when the true disaster occurred. People funneled straight onto the already full pens and created the stampede which killed the 95 people. People in the rear were in an acquisitive ...

... clearly shows the reader that Blanche thinks she is better than Stella’s lifestyle. This attitude is seen by the reader many times throughout the play as Blanche belittles others and their possessions. Blanche’s critical comments of her sisters house makes the reader feel less sympathy for her early in the play. As Blanche greets her sister later, one of the first statements she makes is “Open your pretty mouth and talk while I look for some liquor!� This illustrates how insensitive and demandfull Blanche can be at times. It also shows that Blanche is clearly not the shy and timid young lady she tr ...

... memories of her father and Hamlet who ought have spokedn to her of events on "Valentine's day."(Act IV, Sc 5, 48) She is doubly hexed and the madness she has infects the whole court. Once a person's mental state has been studied in public, there is no telling the injuries which may affect the viewers. Ever since the death of King Hamlet young Hamlet has been what appeared to be in a state of madness. In a discussion between Hamlet and Polonius Hamlet questions Polonius by asking him "have you a daughter."(Act II, Sc.2, 182) In this discussion Hamlet shows antic behavior towards Polonius by mocking hi ...

... reaches out to the gods for various motivations. One of the most prevalent examples of this is between Agamemnon and the gods. The first thing that Agamemnon does when he gets back home is to praise the gods. He gives all the credit to them and says, on pages 29-30; they have helped him become victorious against the city of Troy and granted him safe and quick passage back home. This demonstrates the overwhelming power that the gods posses over mortals. He has been away from his wife and house for ten years and the first thing he thinks of is the gods, not his wife or anything else. He understands the pro ...

... him over to talk a little more. But what the friend doesn’t know is that Tony really wants to con him into killing his wife for him, and in reward would be lots of money. So his interest is not buying the car at all. Now Tony had been following this guy around for quite some time, just to learn his ways and see if he was good enough for the job he has for him. Anyway, the friend arrives and they sit and talk nonsense about cars and so on. Then finally Tony brings up the problems with his wife’s affairs with Marc. And starts saying that sometimes he just wants to kill her and how he wants to do it. And t ...

... ourselves with the tragic hero if he is to inspire fear, for we must feel that what happens to him could happen to us. If Lear was completely evil, we would not be fearful of what happens to him: he would merely be repulsive. But Lear does inspire fear because, like us, he is not completely upright, nor is he completely wicked. He is foolish and arrogant, it is true, but later he is also humble and compassionate. He is wrathful, but at times, patient. Because of his good qualities, we experience pity for him and feel that he does not deserve the severity of his punishment. His actions are not occasioned by any corru ...

... usually in the form of a soliloquy provide an unfettered insight into the true morality of a character. It is this moral worth which gives a character depth; the audience can feel sympathy and hatred at once for a villain who feels remorse. Whereas a character of pure evil lacks depth in that he only has one purpose; to better himself at the expense of others. Upon comparison of Edmund and Claudius' language one witnesses a stark contrast in the moral worth of each character. Although one might argue that both are cruel murderers, there still remains a large moral gap between Edmund and Claudius. The choi ...

... rather than motivated by physical desire, lust or money grabbing. This is reflected in the kind of language and imagery that the lovers use. In this scene we notice that the way Romeo expresses his love is different from the way Juliet expresses her love. Romeo speaks in high- flown language to express his love but compared to his, Juliet's language it is more sincere and filled with sweet seriousness. Romeo expresses his love for Juliet right at the beginning of the scene through the use of light imagery. He declares: "It is the east, and Juliet is the sun. Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious mo ...
