A certain convocation of political worms a e'en at him." (Act IV, scene III, lines 20-21) Hamlet's behavior throughout the play, especially towards Ophelia, is inconsistent.

The Rise And Fall Of Lady Macbeth
726 Words - 3 Pages

.... kill King Duncan with no remorse - she sees herself as having these qualities more than her husband, and because of this, in a sense, wishes to shed her womanhood.

In the above quote, Lady Macbeth is commenting on her husband's lack of gall, stating, that quite frankly, she would make a better m ....


Romeo And Juliet: The New Age Vs The Old Age
824 Words - 3 Pages

.... play, but two movies come to mind. The old movie, West Side Story and the 1996 movie, Romeo and Juliet starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes.

The biggest difference would be that the film was made to fit modern times. No matter the what year each production was made, the same plot of Romeo and Juliet still ....

806 Words - 3 Pages

.... interrogate the construction of gender and the representation of identity. They do not seem to cross any boundaries. People watch soaps to relax and somehow relate, so if they were to experiment with the theatre of gender, it may be seen as a threat to viewers. Soapies usually have the males in typically male dominated occupations such as doctors, car salesmen and chefs. Women in soaps are usually secretaries or housewives. There does not seem to be any attempt for a switch of roles. Females are feminine, males masculine. There has been one exception, which was Kylie Minogue's character, Charlene, on Neighbours. She was a mechanic and tomboy. This is one of the few ....


Macbeth And Beowulf: Evil Defined By Human Preoccupation
502 Words - 2 Pages

.... As Christian was introduced, a new definition of evil that concentrated on human values and thoughts had emerged. The Christian believed that the seven deadly sins were the cause of evil. Thus in the play Macbeth, Macbeth's tragic flaws were actually the deadly sins. They were greedy and envy. Macbeth was not satisfied with his current position, "Thane of Glamis," and not even his newly gained "Thane of Cawdor" would please him. He had only one thing on his mind, the throne. When he became the king, he envied Banquo's having heirs who would be rivals for the throne. The Christian also developed the theory of the great chain of being.
