901 Words - 4 Pages.... discover the nature of Hamlet’s madness. Being the king’s Lord Chamberlain, it is his duty to obey the king and queen’s wishes and it is this loyalty that eventually proves to be fatal for him. An example of hoe Polonius’ innocent involvement with the royalty results in his death can be found at the beginning of Act III, scene iv, when Hamlet stabs him while he is hiding behind the arras in Gertude’s room.

526 Words - 2 Pages.... where the stories were mainly centered. They were
both boys schools, but Devon had a casual air about it. Wellton is a
completely different story, at Wellton, or Hellton as the natives call it,
everything is work. No radios are allowed inside of Wellton, and the rules
are strict. Not to mention the fact that the Dean of students is evilly
cruel, and willing to deal out a severe beating or expulsion to anyone who
disobeys him. While at Devon the Dean of students isn't said to be as evil
as the dean of Hellton. At Devon the course of study is not as rigorous as
the classes the students of Wellton take.
Although both of the schools are boys schools, they have very

Hamlet: A Tragedy Of Failure
503 Words - 2 Pages.... gaining control of the throne by everyone except Hamlet.
Hamlet knows that there is "something rotten in the state of Denmark." His
belief is verified when the guards inform him of a ghostly figure with
close resemblance to the late king. The ghost reveals to Hamlet that while
in the garden, Claudius poured poison in his ear. Claudius prays to be
forgiven but his prayers are not sincere. Claudius, overcome with guilt,
would prefer to keep his status then reveal what he did to King Hamlet.

to verify the validity of the ghost. Usually plays are intended for
entertainment purposes. The play is not real and the actors ....

Macbeth: A Man Of Established Character
1827 Words - 7 Pages.... 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, pays itself. But while he
destroys the king's enemies, such motives work but dimly at best and are
obscured in his consciousness by ....

Shakespeare's Hamlet
583 Words - 3 Pages.... Hamlet admires Fortinbras for the mere fact that he is the head of state and he is control of a powerful army, while Hamlet can barely control himself. Fortinbras holds a position that Hamlet was destined for, yet Claudius intervened and took Hamlet’s rightful position. This fact may imply that Hamlet sees his father’s actions personified in Fortinbras.

The Tragedies Of Shakespeare
1824 Words - 7 Pages.... are
layered with meaning; like an onion, layer after layer can be peeled off,
eventually allowing a glimpse at the core concealed within.
Shakespeare's treatment of the character Hamlet is typically multi-
faceted and complex—Hamlet appears insane, ostensibly over Ophelia, however,
his madness is feigned—a cover for internal conflicts, rooted not in thwarted
affection, but rather in desire to avenge his father's murder. Hamlet even goes
so far as to say his apparent madness is an act when he says "I am but mad
north-north-west; when the wind is southerly, I know a hawk from a handsaw"(667).
Shakespeare often used madness, either feigned or actual, as a teaching
tool o ....

phone call all the way.
While he is talking, the camera is focused on his face and hand holding
the phone to his ear. When Knox hears the news that he has been invited to go
to a party with the girl of his dreams, his face lights up and he cant help but
smile. Still with the same angle, the camera swings around to show the faces of
his friends as he tells them his news. Their facial expressions as showed by
the camera are delightful and happy ones. This makes Knox even more happy.
The scene ends with a close up of Knox hanging up the phone and then a
high level shot of him running up the stairs. ....

Movie: Disaster At Hillsborough
550 Words - 2 Pages.... 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 panic and the people in the
front who were getting crushed were in a fearful panic. The emergency gates
