.... people of today's society would hardly understand a word, let alone a sentence. Shakespeare also used verbs in both their modern form. For example, hath is the older form of has. He also used both modern pronouns,such as you, and older pronouns, such as thee or thou. His vocabulary basically resembles modern English, but he used many words that are no longer used. That is why, in most adaptions of his plays, you have notes which define complicated words. Special Literary Devices: Shakespeare and other Elizabethan writers enjoyed using rhetoric (also known as literary devices) that present a fact or idea in an interesting way. One familiar kind is alliteration where the same ....

.... to attend the feast with all those creepy masks. I took no pleasure in it but I intend to ruin Bassanio. Bassanio will have all the ducats spent in no time. I forgot about my anger over my daughter's flight when I heard about Bassanio's ship wrecked in the English Channel. I then quickly remembered my daughters leaving when Tubal came to me with information on Jessica's reckless spending of my moneys. My heart was broken when I heard about I exchange for a monkey, she traded the ring that was a gift from my wife to me. I should have seen this coming. My hate turned into a disaster in only a short time today. First, Bassanio offered me double the money that was borrowe ....

.... the consequences of their actions more realistically. Macbeth started to succumb to the belief that deeds "must be acted ere they be scann’d,"(III.IV.140). Lady Macbeth in particular loses sight of rationality from the play’s beginning to end. She feigns an image of ruthlessness and believes she can handle the intrusion of unearthly evil in her mind and soul. She presents a seemingly stable foundation of control in which she clutches with an iron fist. As Macbeth becomes less dependent on his wife, she loses more control. She loses control of her husband, but mostly, of herself, proving her vacillating truth. Lady Macbeth’s character gradually disintegrates thr ....

.... that is why he’s surprised when the conspirators approach him. Then he realises that they have seen through his façade and see that he is really an arrogant power-crazy man. Mark Antony is a very honourable soldier who is loyal to anyone in power. He was a great friend to Caesar and thought very highly of him. He is extremely angry at Caesar’s death. He is a very cunning man as can be seen in the second part of the scene and he is able to manipulate people. He cared a lot for Caesar and as a result he grieved a lot when Caesar was killed. Because he was very close to Caesar he wants revenge and, although he can hide it, has a lot of hatred for the conspirators w ....

.... a higher social rank, both for status and wealth and they in fact take great pride in this practice. Women had few rights and advantages. If their fathers died, his inheritance would go to the next surviving male relative, this is a prime example of prejudice. The daughters had no chance of supporting themselves unless the married well and were ultimately dependent on their husbands. Unmarried women would become governesses and live as dependents of their family, other relatives, or their employers. The governess position gave them little social status, which opened them up to much prejudice. The scene towards the beginning of the book when Mr. Darcy insults Elizabeth ....

.... the story Guy begins to read and steal books to rebel against society (Watt 2). Montag meets a professor named Faber and they conspire together to steal books. Montag soon turns against the authorities and flees their deadly hunting party in a hasty, unpremeditated act of homicide, and escapes the country (Watt 2). The novel ends as Montag joins a group in the county where each person becomes and narrates a book but for some strange reason refuses to interpret it (Slusser 63). Symbolism is involved in many aspects of the story. In Fahrenheit 451Ray Bradbury employs various significant symbols through his distinct writing style. First, burning is an important symbol in the ....

.... has an integral and conflicting part in Hamlet's role. While he hates Claudius and immensely idolizes his father, Hamlet will be plagued by his low self-image, thus taking no action and contributing even more to his existing problems. In the beginning lines of this soliloquy Hamlet is already considering suicide. O that this too too solid flesh would melt,… Or that the Everlasting had not fixed His canon 'gainst self-slaughter! O God! O God! How weary, stale, flat and unprofitable Seem to me all the uses of this world (I, ii, 135-140). Through these lines it is obvious that Hamlet is in the midst of a deep depression. He has no control over the "uses of the worl ....

.... were not wounded came out of their places of refuge. As soon as they came in sight, a number of soldiers surrounded them and butchered them. Before the incident, a careful roll was taken among the Sioux - 120 men and 230 women and children. The next morning, over 300 lay dead. Gone was the Indian dream, pride, and spirit. This so-called battle marked the great last effort of the Indians' struggle to maintain their own culture and identity. The end of Indian America is marked by what can only be called a massacre. In 1880, the Great Sioux Reservation corralled the Sioux tribes and gave white American agencies control over their activities. The establishment of separat ....
