.... of some of its readers and audiences. This play is led by the Athenian leader, Lysistrata. She is in some ways quite liberal, but I think that the identification of these liberal traits are difficult to distinguish. Some of Lysistrata's liberal aspects are ideas such as feminine politics, justice, recognition, and determination. For example, Lysistrata is a woman who is always determined to get her way. She feels that victory is not just important in the definition of winning an outcome, but that victory should be the primary priority. Her determination to win her battle against the Greek men will not be judged or questioned. this liberal trait is an ou ....

.... two people's marriage was ended because of society. The play takes place in Europe in the nineteenth-century. During this time women were discriminated. against. This simple fact affects the whole play's outcome. A young woman by the name of Nora is under the control of her husband. He feels that he must rule her for he is the head of the family. He would place small stipulations on her such as not being able to eat macaroons. When she would make mistakes, he would refer to her by some little name like, "Lark" or "Squirrel." All of these things mentioned ar due to the setting. This caused Nora to want to leave more and more. I believe Ibsen picked this setting to ....

.... starts blaming it on people. The first person he blames the death on is a highwayman. Oedipus is very proud of himself in the beginning of the play. He thinks that he can’t get in trouble or nothing could possibly happen because he was the King of Thebes. The people of Thebes looked up to King Oedipus, everyone wanted to be like him. As the play moves into scene one, already you can see Oedipus changing. We have to remember though that this play was only a day long so he faces all of these challenges in just one day. It seems like every time King Liaos death is brought up, Oedipus always blames it on someone. Oedipus then tells everyone that the person who killed King ....

.... His fatal flaw was that he was according to Ross, "a disloyal traitor". The thane of Cawdor was greedy, and wanted the throne of England for himself, and as a result was murdered. But his murder wasn't really disheartening, because the Thane of Cawdor, deserved his fate. He was leading a battle, in which many lost their lives, for the sake of greed, and deserved to die because of his flaw. Duncan was the King of England, and was murdered by MacBeth. He was murdered, because in order for MacBeth to fulfill his plan and become king, Duncan would have to die. Duncan's fatal flaw was that he was too trusting. For example, he thought that none of his friends could really be ene ....

.... believe that if there is a car around that corner, then it was fated to happen and they would still die if they were going the speed limit. I believe that Romeo & Juliet dug there own holes with bad decisions. Chance plays a major part in the story. Everything starts in the very beginning when Montegue and Capulet servants just happen to cross paths in a public place. This is a chance meeting. Coincidence cannot be involved now because it is too early in the story. Also by chance, the servants are talking of their hatred of the other family and there unwillingness to bear insults. The opening line of the play is, "Gregory, on my word, we'll not carry coals. "(pg.6)" M ....

.... good plans to keep love together. In both plays, the masque functions as a dramatic device which initiates the love plot. It occurs in a social gathering, but not without the help of costumes. If it were not for costumes the result of love might have been drastically different. How was the masque used to get lovers together? In the case of Romeo and Juliet, Romeo hears about the masque and decides to go, thinking that he might be able to get away with this scheme. Upon entering he sees Juliet and right away, he knows it is love. If he had not worn the costume, the hosts might have ejected him from the party and he might not have met Juliet. Much Ado About Nothing has a sim ....

.... was very sweet and charming and beautiful; for these reasons many suitors wooed her. Kate was presented to be much more intelligent and witty than Bianca, but, ironically, she could not compete with Bianca because of these witty comebacks and caustic remarks she made (Dash 830). All of the men who desired Bianca needed somebody to marry Kate, as it was customary for the older daughter to be married before the young one. Finally, Petruchio came along to court Kate, saying he wanted to marry wealthily in Padua. It appeared, though, as if Petruchio was the kind of man who needed an opposition in life. The shrewish Kate, who was known to have a sharp tongue, very adequat ....

.... and loyal soldier. It is up to the audience to decide how much he is influenced by the witches' prophecies, the prodding of his wife, and his own ambition, therefore this will decide if Macbeth is a tragic hero the audience can show emotion towards. The power from knowledge causes discomfort. As often been said, ignorance is bliss. After Macbeth is promised the throne, Banquo asks why Macbeth is less than ecstatic. "Good sir, why do you start, and seem to fear / Things that do sound so fair?" (Act I, Sciii, L. 54-55) Macbeth's new knowledge makes him uncomfortable, as he realizes the implications. His first thoughts considering murdering Duncan appear, and he is s ....
