.... for his own actions which are provoked by an unwillingness to listen to his own conscience, the witches, and his ambition. First, Macbeth ignores the voice of his own psyche. He knows what he is doing is wrong even before he murders Duncan, but he allows Lady Macbeth and greed to cloud his judgement. In referring to the idea of the murder of Duncan, Macbeth first states,"We will proceed no further in this business"(I.vii.32). Yet, after speaking with Lady Macbeth he recants and proclaims,"I am settled, and bend up/Each corporal agent to this terrible feat"(I.vii.7980). There is nothing supernatural to be found in a man being swayed by the woman he loves, as a matte ....

.... II. It makes me think about what if this happened and I had been drafted into the war. The soldiers in the movie were all around my age bracket. Those were people my age fighting and dying for their country. If I was around for this war, I doubt I would have made it off the beach in the first scene. The movie also tells about many different types of attitudes that the American boys had about the war and how they reacted to it. An example of this would be when the company took over a machine gun and one of their friends died from enemy fire. Several American soldiers were going to execute the Nazi until another soldier stopped them. Personally, I would have killed the N ....

.... She doesn't mind doing anything on her own. For example, in the beginning of the story when Antigone is talking with Ismene, she asks for her help . When Ismene refuses she is furious with her. Then Ismene decides to act independently. Creon is also very independent. He refuses to accept anyone's opinions except his own. When his son Haimon comes to talk with him he refuses to listen , claiming that Haimon is "girlstruck!" and corrupted . Teirsesais comes and tells him a morbid prophecy. Creon will not listen to this either. He claims that Teirsesais has been corrupted by money, like many prophets at that time. He finally listens to the Charagous when remind ....

.... Hamlet and Rosenkrantz and Guildenstern. Via the use of prose and figurative language, Shakespeare utilizes the passage to illustrate Hamlet's view of the cosmos and mankind. Throughout the play, the themes of illusion and mendaciousness have been carefully developed. The entire royal Danish court is ensnared in a web of espionage, betrayal, and lies. Not a single man speaks his mind, nor addresses his purpose clearly. As Polonius puts it so perfectly: "And thus do we of wisdom and of reach / By indirections find directions out" Act 2, Scene 2, Lines 71-3 The many falsehoods and deceptions uttered in Hamlet are expressed through eloquent, formal, poetic language (iambi ....

.... in 1584, at the publication of Reginald Scot's The Discouerie of Witchcrafte (The Discovery of Witchcraft). This book was the first major book to denounce witch-hunts and their ringleaders, and unquestionable the first book in English to actually hypothesize about the methods of these so-called witches. It contained one chapter of approximately twenty pages describing what we might view as unsophisticated, old-time magic tricks. One would assume that it was this text, and texts succeeding this (The Art of Juggling, written by Samuel Ridd in 1610 also presented a few how-to's of magic) were probably not only what suggested the idea of using magic as a them to Shakespeare, b ....

.... and his father, King Duncan, continue to praise the great fighter for being so brave. Because of Macbeth's great courage, he is awarded the title "Thane of Cawdor" by king Duncan. The darker side of Macbeth is also shown in his brutal way of killing his enemy in the battle, Macbeth's cold and violent side. We see here that Macbeth has no problem brutally killing someone in cold blood. Another aspect of Macbeth's darker side is shown in scene 3 of Act I when Macbeth believes the witches' prophesies and is determined to see them come true, while Banquo is somewhat skeptical of the three witches. The outside pressures Macbeth faces, stemming from the witches, and Lady Mac ....
