.... has expressed his fears about Hamlet following it, "What if it tempt you toward the flood, my lord, or to the dreadful summit of the cliff."(1.4, 69-70) The conversation between the ghost and Hamlet serves as a catalyst for Hamlet's later actions and provides insight into Hamlet's character. The information the ghost reveals incites Hamlet into action against a situation he was already uncomfortable with, and now even more so. Hamlet is not quick to believe the ghost, and thus an aspect of Hamlet's character is revealed. Hamlet, having no suspicion of the ghost after the production by the players, encounters the ghost next in .....

.... conspirators are self-righteous, and they are serving the romans. If the conspirators don't bind together, then each man will go his own way, become a weakling, and die when it suits the tyrants caprice. Brutus is advocates peace, freedom and liberty, for all romans, which shows that Brutus is an altruistic as well as an honorable man. Brutus also had a compassion for Caesar when he had killed Caesar. "If then that a friend demand why Brutus rose against Caesar, this is my answer: Not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved Rome more" (Shakespeare 421). Brutus had honored Caesar but Brutus felt that Caesar was to ambiti .....

.... time the third assassin killed the other two assassin's. Macbeth's conscience then got the best of him because he saw the 'ghost' of Banquo. It wasn't really a ghost because everyone can see ghosts and Macbeth was the only one who really saw Banquo. This shows that his mind was playing tricks on him because he felt guilty. To me his feeling guilty showed that he still cared a little for those he loved but then again if he cared he would stop killing them. Macbeth went to the witches for a new divination. Back then the witches were classified as being evil. This shows that he no longer cared if he was being evil or not. All he r .....

.... Juliet to continue to see Romeo secretly, even after he has been banished. She even says to Juliet: “I’ll find Romeo to comfort you. I wot well where he is. Hark ye, your Romeo will be here at night.” (3.2.138-140) And is clearly telling her to be with this outcast. The Nurse proves to be a traitor when she tells her to marry Paris, “Marry, I will; and this is wisely done.” (3.5.233) She did not guide Juliet on any one specific path, she was not responsible. Friar Laurence is another example of someone who had a certain responsibility, but did not follow through with it. As part of the clergy, one of his duties .....

.... into strapping men under the laws of ethics and morality, standards created by the school, centered around discipline and conformity, opposed to creativity and initiative. Mr. Keeting, a new teacher from the Chester School in London, not only introduced his students to a European method of teaching, but cultured them with independent thought and originality. He lead his students into the battle field of life, upon the unbalanced sea of struggles and triumphs, he is appropriately referred to as “Oh Captain, my Captain.” Neil, the instigator of the group, seemed to be the one that was most enthusiastic about Mr. Keeting’s .....

.... life was in the 50’s, it would not be as popular as it is today. Imagine Lucy Ricardo, being the typical housewife of that time, where all she did was stay at home and take care of the baby while cooking Ricky’s dinner. It would not make a very interesting show during any time period. It is Lucy’s outright defiance of her role in society that makes the show so humorous and at the same time, makes important statements about gender equality. Lucy and Ricky made the roles of both men and women clear during many of the shows that they starred in. Lucy was often seen cleaning the house and performing many of the duties that .....

.... still has an identity forming problem, or I might say that he has unconsciously formed an identity during his childhood, but he's trying to find it. It was his curiosity about his identity that was giving him problems to sleep. Basically, his identity should be formed based on his father's identity, but nothing is obvious. Whoever his (Travis) model was, planted the confidence in Travis to form his identity. For example, if our parents don't tell us in early our childhood about a certain quality that we have, we might have an identity crisis in our adult lives. In this film, we have a good example of "identity and rivalry". Aft .....

.... and "brass". Man is an "eternal slave" to time. In these opening lines Shakespeare is revealing that our ambitions drive the building of higher "towers" and stronger "brass," however, even as we strive to create monuments of greater magnitude and fortitude, time will always be the victor and man's empires will be "down-razed." Shakespeare quickly humbles the reader with powerful destructive words, "buried"; "defaced"; "down-razed" and, consequently, one realizes that one day our present creations will stand no more and what stands in their place will only be dictated by time's "hand." The second quatrain maintains the image o .....

.... critique about the way the class structure influences the play. He leaves room for these critiques when he writes about the servants, the nobles, and the middle class. His view on society and class is very evident on the way the servants are portrayed. "‘I don't know that I am much interested in your family life, Lane'" "‘No sir; it's not a very interesting subject. I never think of it myself.'" In this passage from the play it is very clear that Wilde likes to give his characters some life, but however it seemed that he was giving the servants a bit too much, but nevertheless it does establish very well the position .....

.... sees the difference in Romeo's depth of emotion and in light of that, and the possible political benefits (namely peace between the feuding families) he encourages the match. Shadespeare's The Winter's Talw is , as most critics will agree, a difficult play to read, but the work possesses intriguing characters and symbols that make the effort worthwhile. Two of the most powerfil and fascinating symbols are those of the bear and the stue. Because it is Antogonus' episode with the bear that signal the major transition of the play, it is there that we will begin. Robert Grams Hunter, in Shakespeare and the Comedy of Forgiveness, re .....
