.... that the city and room were arbitrarily identified impresses upon the audience that their own lives could randomly be applied to the events that are about to follow. In the opening sequence of Psycho, Hitchcock succeeds in capturing the audience's initial senses of awareness and suspicion while allowing it to identify with Marion's helpless situation. The audience's sympathy toward Marion is heightened with the introduction of Cassidy whose crude boasting encourages the audience's dislike of his character. Cassidy's blatant statement that all unhappiness can be bought away with money, provokes the audience to form a justification .....

.... watch thy waking, and that very night shall Romeo bear thee to Mantua." (Act 4, Scene 1), he tells Juliet how everything will be all right. Unfortunately, for all his good intentions the play still ends in tragedy. Friar Lawrence is a man who is not afraid to take risks when he feels it is neccesary to help someone. For example in Act 2, Scene 6, when he marries Romeo and Juliet, he is risking his reputation as a Friar so he can help the two lovers. Also, when he says "Take thou this vial, being then in bed, and this distilled liquor drink though off;" (Act 4, Scene 1), he is suggesting that Juliet drink a potion so that she .....

.... unable to keep these two characteristics in check at the time of the witch hunt. This resulted in the witch hunts becoming "a perverse manifestation of the panic which set in among all classes when the balance began to turn toward greater individual freedom"(Miller 7). Their theocracy allowed for no expression of individuality, lest the individual, in short, ask for public condemnation. The theocracy of the Salem society at the time was an enormous factor to the conditions surrounding the witch hunts. The Salemites exhibited patriarchal snobbery toward each others and those who were different. "Their church found it necessary .....

.... Romeo. Romeo proclaims, " Did my heart love till now? Forswear it, sight!/ For ne'er saw true beauty till this night." (I, v, l 52-53) Since Romeo declares his love for Juliet, she feels the attraction also. They believe that they are in love and must marry. However, it is a genuine coincidence that Romeo and Juliet were at the same place, at the same time. Some days after the ball, Benvolio and Mercutio are conversing, in regard to the quarrelsome weather. Benvolio declares, "The day is hot, the Capulets abroad,/ And if we meet we shall not ‘scape a brawl,/ For now these got days is the mad blood stirring." (III, i .....

.... nor does he act too swiftly to realize whom he should attack. In the end of the play, Fortinbras arrives just as everyone is dying and does not have to exert a great deal of strength to accomplish his task because the others have killed one another. Each character has a different approach to get to the final goal of revenge, but each achieves his quaesitum. In each instance, the character is retaliating in order to get even. If one studies the play, he will clearly see that Hamlet provides a good definition for revenge through the characters of Hamlet, Laertes, and Fortinbras. .....

.... and Lady Macbeth. Lady Macbeth just talked about committing the crime, but she never actually went through with it nor would she ever. Her talk and persuasion put the ideas in Macbeth's head and made him think it was the right thing to do. She urged him into doing it which makes her part of this crime, but she is not as guilty as Macbeth. The talk of murder and the planning Lady Macbeth did for her husband makes her evil. The idea of killing Duncan first came from Macbeth. Macbeth listened to the witches' prophecies that said he would become King. Macbeth did not want to wait any longer and he thought the only way to become .....

.... under the which he shall not chose but fall. And for his death no wind of blame shall breathe”1. Gertrude's trust is betrayed by Claudius at that moment because Gertrude believes that Claudius loves Hamlet, when in fact, he despises him and wishes death upon him. Claudius is not the only character that betrays in the play Hamlet. Hamlets makes Ophelia believe that he loves her for a long time, until one day he tells her things that break her heart. Because Hamlet suspects that someone is listening to his conversation with Ophelia, he acts like a mad man and says cruel things to Ophelia. “Virtue cannot so inoculate o .....

.... sun that morrow see! She sees Duncans coming not only as an opportunity to murder Duncan, but also as a sign of fate. Lady Macbeth tells Macbeth that tonight he must act like "flower" but act like a quote "serpent under't". These small quotes show how scrupulous and cunning Lady Macbeth is. To further persuade him she tells him that if he follows her plan that he will have nothing less then the power of a king. Macbeth being lead by his wife like this gives me the view that Shakespeare wants us to sympathise with the character of Macbeth. In scene 7 Macbeth after wrestling with his conscience .He confronts his wife and te .....

.... Malcolm’s brave actions were recognized when he is crowned the king of Scotland. Banquo and Duncan were both innocent and pure people. Macbeth himself says that Banquo is “...royalty of nature...” (Act III, Scene i, Line 49). Duncan praises Macbeth “True, worthy Banquo, he is full so valiant,And in his commendations I am fed;” (Act I, Scene v, Lines 54-5) showing is good, kind, and pure heart. These two people were both kind and noble, but nemesis does not play its role for their kind souls. Banquo is murdered only to ease Macbeth’s mind. Duncan is killed to advance Macbeth’s social statue. Both men contrib .....

.... onto the already full pens and created the stampede which killed the 95 people. People in the rear were in an acquisitive panic and the people in the front who were getting crushed were in a fearful panic. The emergency gates would open but the police, not realizing the situation, kept people in and closed the gates. Critique This example could not be anymore perfect to show a stampede and panic. All four components were met. (1) Partial entrapment; the reality is complete entrapment. As at the Who concert the only avenue of escape was blocked by the police. (2) Perceived threat; this comes from both ends of the panic. The .....
