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,

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

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, ....
