842 Words - 4 Pages.... and through unbeatable
odds against Macdonwald's army. It also tells us that Macbeth can handle a
sword like it was an extension of his own body. The sergeant also tells
us:
As cannons overcharg'd with double cracks;
So they doubly redoubled strokes upon the
foe:
(I,ii,37-39)
From this we can tell that he was a relentless and courageous fighter and
would not stop until he had won. He is such a fearless fighter that the
day would be remembered for centuries to come the sergeant says: "Or
memorize another Golgotha," this tells us that Macbeth would have gone
down in the books as Scotland's heroic warrior. Macbeth h ....

King Lear: Comedy Or Tragedy?
1191 Words - 5 Pages.... The play also depicts the troubled parts in his life and eventually
his death that is instantaneous caused by the suffering and calamity.
There is the feeling of fear in the play as well, that makes men see how
blind they are not knowing when fortune or something else would be on them.
The hero must be of a high status on the chain and the hero also possesses
a tragic flaw that initiates the tragedy. The fall of the hero is not felt
by him alone but creates a chain reaction which affects everything below
him. There must also be the element of chance or accident that influences

King Lear: The Quest For Power
489 Words - 2 Pages.... to increase in its cruelty until he commits an inconceivable crime. Edmund has reached a point in his pursuit of power that he will stop at nothing to gain more. He writes another letter. This one is similar to the first, except instead of implicating his brother to his father, it implicates his father in a plot with France to kill The Duke of Cornwall. The King decides that Gloucester’s supposed treachery cannot be tolerated and orders that his eyes be torn out. At this point, Edmund seems to be unequivocally evil. This is undoubtedly false.
Two of the other characters of the play, Goneril and Regan surely equal Edmund’s ferocity in their quest for power. Our first glim ....

The Shawshank Redemption
1414 Words - 6 Pages.... as a
community of people who have had problems and may or may not be rehabilitating.
It seems that some prisoners go in and accept what they have done and try to
make something of an already disastrous life while others give up and really
don't care if they commit other crimes (inside and outside of the prison). But
in all reality, the prison was home for the inmates and they made it into what
it was. The demeanor of the characters creates a very unique atmosphere.
The story revolves around Andy who is convicted of murdering his wife
and her lover in 1946 and is sentenced to life in prison. He is sent to the
Shawshank prison, the state prison in Maine which is known for it ....

Twelfth Night: Two Faces, One Mind
499 Words - 2 Pages.... the plot lines depend on the disguise. Without it, the
main theme of the play would be the gulling of Malvolio. In a play where most of
the characters fall in love with each other, blind to the gender and true
identity of the objects of their desires, a disguise like Viola's becomes the
center of the action, and causes almost all the of the important aspects of the
play.
The confusion that Sebastian creates when he returns would not occur
without Viola's disguise. Sir Andrew believes that the woman of his desires,
Olivia, is spending too much time with Cesario, and challenges him to a duel. As
he put it, Olivia was doing “more favors to the Count's servingman than ever ....

Contrast Essay: Romeo And Juliet
885 Words - 4 Pages.... the Friar speaks can make something without an
equal (Act II, Scene 6, Line 4) which is a very intelligent thing to say.
Whereas, in the movie they kiss and giggle the entire time. This leads the
viewer to believe that Franco Zefferelli wanted the two to look like fools, that
they could not do anything the way it is normally done because they are children
in search of quick love. This is bad because it is not very realistic. In
real-life, young adults would take the matter seriously because they know it is
a major step in life. Because the play is not entirely trying to make the two
look bad, it is the better production.
Another major difference in the mood of the p ....
