.... He likes their companionship and the way they act. He knows they use him to pay for drinks and get them out of trouble sometimes but that does not really bother him. His best friend would have to be the fat old slob Falstaf. Falstaf is always around in the story and talks all of the time. He also spends most of his time drinking in the tavern. Hal likes to hang out with Falstaf because he is funny and outspoken. Hal and Falstaf could make fun of each other and call each other names and that wont bother them. For instance when the prince started calling Falstaf, “This bed-presser, this horse-back-breaker, this huge hill of flesh”. Then Falstaf came back by say ....

.... hubris play the antagonists we must look at Sophocles's purpose in writing this play. He wrote his plays to be performed at religious festivals such as the Festival of Dionysus. The plays were serious events performed for audiences of all classes. Many audience members couldn't read or write, so Sophocles used well known stories as plots. The audience didn't have to focus on understanding the plot. They already knew the story of Oedipus, which Sophocles used to his advantage. With well known plots the people's minds were open and Sophocles's messages were beaten into them. Almost like subliminal messages. But what messages would Sophocles wish to push on his audienc ....

.... Ultimately, Macbeth chose the path of darkness. Throughout the entire play Macbeth ignores the voice of his own conscience. He knows what he is doing is wrong even before he murders Duncan. His own conscience is nagging at him but he allows Lady Macbeth and greed to cloud his judgement. In referring to the idea of the murder of Duncan, Macbeth first states,"We will proceed no further in this business"(I, vii, 32). Yet, after speaking with Lady Macbeth he recants and proclaims, "I am settled, and bend up /Each corporal agent to this terrible feat"(I, vii, 79-80). He allows himself to be swayed by the woman he loves. Lady Macbeth gave him an ultimatum and provoked him by ....

.... plot used in "King Lear" is needed and it adds to overall value of the play. Like any other kind of literature "King Lear" contains many themes; one of which is the "parent-child relationship" conflict. Relationship problems are very common, not only in novels but also in everyday life. Lear starts the entire dilemma of hate and destruction by his foolish desire for flattery. He divides his kingdom between two of his daughters and the never ending crave for power and wealth begins. As we can assume from the play's title, Lear and his daughters are part of the main plot. The plot of Gloucester and his sons, is considered parallel. Gloucester is portrayed also with fa ....

.... 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. This shows how Polonius, a man unaware of the true nature of the situation he is in, is killed by a member of the royalty during the execution of one of their schemes. This makes Polonius’ death a tragedy. The next member of Polonius’ family to die is his daughter O ....

.... to Hedda Gabler. Most importantly, an exposition of a play must be able to establish some degree of suspense and dramatic tension. To such an end, Act I is relatively successful. Hedda’s pregnancy is hinted at : directly through Jorgen mentioning Hedda’s “blossoming” twice, and subtly through Hedda’s clothes which are indicated in the stage directions to be “loosely-fitting”, which does not suit her “elegant figure”. The ridiculous reasoning of Jorgen and Hedda’s noticeably strong reaction to any mention of the matter further draws the audience’s attention to the matter. When Miss Tesman declares that she will visit her “every single day” even in ....
