The Use Of “Nature” In Shakespeare’s Macbeth
Number of words: 1009 | Number of pages: 4.... power. The way each character addresses the word “Nature” reveals that character’s assumed personality. A character who is cruel and traitorous might speak against Nature and leave himself unguarded against Nature’s punishment.
The life of a soldier’s wife is not easy. A woman must be able to be supportive, affectionate, and motivating.

MacBeth: Everyone Who Is Moral Has At Least One Flaw
Number of words: 815 | Number of pages: 3.... He was murdered, because in order for MacBeth
to fulfill his plan and become king, Duncan would have to die. Duncan's
fatal flaw was that he was too trusting. For example, he thought that none
of his friends could really be enemies. If Duncan was more careful about
his safety at MacBeth's castle, he may have had a chance to survive. But
Duncan's flaw, wasn't something so horrible that he should die. Most people
need to trust each other more, and just because one person did, he
shouldn't have to die. MacBeth's former best friend, Banquo was also killed
by MacBeth. Banquo was killed, because he knew too much about the murder .....

Number of words: 834 | Number of pages: 4.... as,
That I can keep your counsel and not, mine own. Beside, to be
demanded of a sponge, what replication should be made by the son of a
king? (IV, ii, 12-14)
The reference to the sponge reflects the fact that Rosencrantz and
Guildenstern are easily ordered by the king and do not have minds of their
own. Hamlet does not like Rosencrantz and Guildenstern since they are
servants of the Claudius, Hamlet's mortal enemy. The reader does not like
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern either which causes the reader to side with
Hamlet.
Another incident of Hamlet's high intelligence is shown when he Hamlet
tells Rosenc .....

Number of words: 1067 | Number of pages: 4.... to know if he is a true man under his clothes. She questions him because of his unwillingness to kill Duncan.

Number of words: 2356 | Number of pages: 9.... at playing cards, but now he must be pacified by constant pieces of
chocolate that he scarfs greedily, goofy smile on his face. Blowing smoke,
dangling his toothpick, eating chocolate, or just smiling ... ultimately, when
trying to explain why Chow Yun-Fat is cool, it comes down to his mouth.
Everything I have said so far describes a subjective reaction to watching Chow
Yun-Fat on the screen. Fill in the name of your favorite actor or actress,
change the specific references, and this could be your essay. We don't learn
anything new from such subjective meanderings; we only identify taste
preferences. I'm proud to be a Chow fan, .....

King Lear - Good Vs. Evil
Number of words: 632 | Number of pages: 3.... caused by humans and not the gods. Edgar said, "The gods are just, and of our peasant vices make instruments to plague us" (ACT V, iii, 169).

Even though evil was created by humans good will always exist. After King Lear was captured he showed that even if evil exists, good will always be present. Lear speaks about love with .....

Pygmalion: Higgins' Philosophy
Number of words: 715 | Number of pages: 3.... of this theory.
There are two possible translations of Higgins' philosophy. It can
be viewed as treating everyone the same all of the time or treating
everyone equally at a particular time.
It is obvious that Higgins does not treat everyone equally all of
the time, as witnessed by his actions when he is in "one of his states" (as
Mrs. Higgins' parlor maid calls it). The Higgins that we see in Mrs.
Higgins' parlor is not the same Higgins we see at the parties. When in
"the state" Henry Higgins wanders aimlessly around the parlor, irrationally
moving from chair to chair, highly unlike the calm Professor H .....

These men had undergone extensive training in their fields to prepare for such situations as the perfect storm presented them. The PJ’s had undergone a highly selective process that many Navy SEALS could not complete. And the pilots of the helicopters and jets showed tremendous skill as they navigated through the rough turbulence of the storm. These men were, indeed, the best of the best.
To be the best at what one does does not necessarily create a hero for the times. Peak physical shape and sharpness of mind were essential qualities for these heroes in the story .....
