King Lear: Themes
1601 Words - 6 Pages

.... helpful to understand the Elizabethan "Chain of Being" in which nature is viewed as order. Rosenblatt (1984) states that there was a belief in an established hierarchy within the universe. Everything had its own relative position beginning with Heaven, the Divine Being, and the stars and planets which are all above. On earth the king is next, then the nobles, on down to the peasantry. Holding the lowest position were the beggars and lunatics and finally, the animals. Interrupting this order is unnatural. King Lear's sin was that he disrupted this chain of being by relinquishing his throne. By allowing his daughters and their husbands to rule the kingdom, the natura ....


Macbeth: Contrast Of Lady Macbeth And Macbeth
649 Words - 3 Pages

.... that shalt be,” to assassinate Duncan and take the throne. Her wickedness is shown several times when her speeches resemble that of the witches and her repetition of phrases three times, like the witches. She wishes to be filled with the “direst [of] cruelty” and “unsex[ed],” for her womanly “moral thoughts” will do her no good. Her eagerness to succeed in being the queen of Scotland pushes her beyond her own moral boundaries. Macbeth, on the other hand, agrees that Duncan must be slain in order to attain the crown but unlike Lady Macbeth, he is weary. He is weary because of the fact Duncan “built an absolute trust” with him and “ honour’d him.” ....

Hamlet Revenge
1141 Words - 5 Pages

.... Polonius, and the family of King Hamlet. The heads of each of these families are all slaughtered within the play. Fortinbras, King of Norway, was killed by King Hamlet; slain by sword during a man to man battle. "àour valiant Hamlet-for so this side of our known world esteem'd him-did slay this Fortinbras." This entitled King Hamlet to the land that was possessed by Fortinbras because it was written in a seal'd compact. Polonius was an advisor to the King, and father to Laertes and Ophelia.

George Bernard Shaw's "Pygmalion": Henry Higgins Is A Coarse Rude Man
535 Words - 2 Pages

.... aswell because he looked and acted a little odd at times. He looked to be among the high by the way he dressed and spoke but at the same time he didn't seem to be in the high class because of his lack of manners. Henry Higgins' main trait was that he was sometimes coarse, rude at times. Being coarse means that he could be rude or obscene on occasion. He shows this on a number of different occasions. For example, when Eliza first makes an appearance at Henry's mother's house, Henry was jumping all over the tables and screaming like a maniac. He also shows this character trait when he is talking to Eliza at the end of the play, when he shows that he actually does have feel ....


Othello And King Lear: A Comparison
255 Words - 1 Pages

.... about his poetry in the literary papers, and gossip about his love life and his taste in clothes splashed across the glossy magazines. His views about everything under the sun, from the government to kitchen furniture, would probably appear regularly in the colour supplements. His face would be familiar on television talk shows, his voice well-known from radio broadcasts. There would be so much recorded evidence about his life and his opinions that it would not be hard to write about him. Shakespeare, however, lived some four hundred years ago in the reign of Queen Elizabeth I, when there was no tele-vision or radio, nor even any newspapers as we know them today. Alt ....


Television Regulation: Government Vs. Parents
307 Words - 2 Pages

.... violence, children and grownups alike develop “Mean World Syndrome” where people are afraid to go out. So they stay in the house and watch more television. Television has a very powerful effect - just look at the power of commercials. While it is a positive step that the government is trying to regulate television programming, it is still the parents' job to monitor what children watch. With the wide range of programming available, if a child watches television without any supervision, it is very likely that he/she will view a program that is unsuitable for their age. While television can be a negative force, it can also be very positive if used correctly. There ar ....


Role Of Fate And Free Will In Oedipus Rex
761 Words - 3 Pages

.... Humans, despite any efforts to the contrary, were unable to circumvent their fate or go beyond the predetermined boundaries set for them. Man would eventually have to submit to the law of the universe, regardless of his choices, and in turn the universe would have to submit to man, grafting his choices into the linear sequence of events that culminated in the realization of his fate. Each choice would predetermine the next one, and although man could strike off in a new direction at any time by making a choice, his actions would still inevitably lead to his fate. In short, one’s choices affected little more than the where and when of one’s predetermined destiny, ....
