Oedipus Rex: The Punishment Of The King
Number of words: 1163 | Number of pages: 5.... could
have serious repercussions on the rest of the kingdom. So in the end, the
only way to cure the plague and keep the kingdom stable seems to be the
banishment of Oedipus. In this case, the question of whether or not he

the hosts might have ejected him from the party and he might not have met
Juliet. Much Ado About Nothing has a similar but also different approach

Keeping the viewer on the edge of their seat plays a key role in why these movies are so popular even though they are over 50 years old. Film noir movies might also keep attracting people because noir films are not regularly shot today for the mainstream movie theatres and the lingering intrigue about black and white, good 7and evil and night and day contained within each movie.

A Midsummer Night's Dream: Women In Elizabethian England
Number of words: 317 | Number of pages: 2.... were
wholly responsible for the creation of children and woman were just a vessel for
the birthing. Which is curious because one would expect woman to hold a higher
place for giving birth to children, the lifeline to the future.
During the Shakespearean era woman were seen as second class citizens.
Although the start of marriage for love was just beginning, woman were still
expected to do what males told them. In addition, they were seen as a mere
vessel for birth and did not play an integral role in the creation of a child.
Men were to be treated with respect and reverence. .....

Number of words: 947 | Number of pages: 4.... in the world
of man. That he had returned as a ghost could mean only one thing, his death was
not an accident. The ghost beseeches Hamlet to avenge him but warns him, "taint
not thy mind, nor let thy soul contrive against thy mother aught . . . leave her
to heaven".
This statement by the ghost was left open enough for Hamlet to develop
many questions about his mother's actual involvement in his father's death. At
first, Hamlet's rage is confined to his uncle Claudius but quickly and violently
shifts towards his mother, dwelling upon the horrible thought that she might
have been involved. "Oh most pernicious women!" He screams, " .....

Romeo And Juliet: Who Is Responsible For The Tragedy? Does Fate Play A Role?
Number of words: 1566 | Number of pages: 6.... are playing this part. In Romeo and Juliet, one of the causes is the ancient feud between the families. Tybalt says “What, drawn and talk of peace? I hate the word, as I hate hell, all Montagues and thee.” (1.1.61-62)
