.... reality it is rehearsed, hollow and without feeling. Polonius gives his advice only to appear to be a good father. The reality is he only speaks to appear sincere as a politician, to look good rather then actually be good. Polonius even ends his speech to his son by saying: "And borrowing dulleth th' edge of husbandry. This above all: to thine own self be true, And it must follow, as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man. Farewell; my blessing season this in thee!" (I, iii, ll. 77-81). Polonius gives his son Laertes his blessing to go away, but then immediately sends a spy to follow him and keep an eye on .....

.... is convinced to let nature take its course and keep Scotland under its rightful leadership. Lady Macbeth, on the other hand is extremely excited about the idea of becoming queen, and continues on with her persuasive thoughts towards the death of Duncan. She now begins to express fear that Macbeth will not have the ruthlessness to do what is necessary to become king. Thus after Macbeth arrives and expresses his reluctance to commit murder, Lady Macbeth continues to urge him on. Macbeth is forced to chose between a king who has always been there and supported him, and his wife, whom he dearly loves and cherishes. Macbeth remains h .....

.... ribbons of her cap" we associate the purity of "Faith" and the "pink ribbons" as a sign of the innocence and goodness of the town he is leaving behind (211). As he continues "on his present evil purpose" he sets off at sunset to enter the forest (212). A place "darkened by all the gloomiest trees," unknown territory, and a place where "there may be a devilish Indian behind every tree," with this we know the forest represents evil and sinfulness (212). His decision to enter the forest and leave his "Faith" behind is the first decision, of many, between good and evil that he must make. After entering the forest he meets a trav .....

.... the tale, as well as implying the presence of a divine power of judgment without explicitly stating it. The interpretation of the seven rooms contributes to Poe's allegory of man's absolute mortality, and also offers a prime example of the ambiguity one finds in Poe's work. The omnipresent clock in the story is a clear representation of the power and presence of time. A more interesting point of notice in Poe's emphasis is on the fact that the clock consists of only the colors "ebony" and white. With the knowledge of Poe's Biblical awareness, this becomes significant. Christianity consists of absolute truths. Humanity is unable t .....

.... frightens her. She talks about his big feet with dark black sneakers with white laces and how they looked like a set intentional scars. Olds talked about what he looks like when he sees him, "He has the casual cold look of a mugger, alert under hooded lids" (7-9). She says that he is wearing red, which makes her thing of the blood inside of one's body. The speaker has on her black fur coat which makes for an inviting target. In the middle of the poem, the speaker questions who has the power between her and the boy in the subway. She says "...I don't know if I am in his power-......or if he is in my power"(14-18). She .....

.... into trouble. Finny claimed that he wore the tie as a belt because it represented “Devon in the War.” Again, Gene was envious of Finny’s openness to make up a story and “get away with everything.” Another one of Gene’s enemies is his anger. Alone, his anger is mild, but when mixed with his jealousy, prove to be a deadly combination. Gene was angry at such things as Finny’s ability go get out of trouble, and his own unwillingness to say “no” to Finny. The real war, however, started when he got the idea that because Finny had low grades, he wanted to lower Gene’s grades as well, so he could remain “better .....

.... he is acting mad. Hamlet even treats Polonius' daughter Ophelia rudely, prompting Polonius to believe Hamlet is madly in love with her, though Claudius expects otherwise. Polonius, a man who talks too long- windedly, had allowed his son Laertes to go to France (then sent Reynaldo to spy on Laertes) and had ordered Ophelia not to associate with Hamlet. Claudius, fearing Hamlet may try to kill him, sends Hamlet to England. Before leaving, however, Hamlet convinces an acting company to reenact King Hamlet's death before Claudius, in the hopes of causing Claudius to break down and admit to murdering King Hamlet. Though Claudius is en .....

.... a butterfly appeared between him and the old man. He remembered something his grandfather had once told him: that butterflies were a good omen. Like crickets, and like expectations; like lizards and four-leaf clovers." Even when Santiago had almost given up his journey, after working in the crystal shop for eleven months and nine days, he finally earned enough money to go to Mecca and buy his sheep. But for some reason, he remembered what the old man had told him about seeking his Personal Legend. Because of this, Santiago decided he would go and try again to find his treasure. Later in the story, Santiago met the gi .....

.... a thief. The following day, he tries to sell to buyers in town, but he is offered only a small amount of money for it. The buyers all work for the same man. They know is worth a fortune but hope to buy it cheaply by pretending that it is worth little. Kino says he will sell his pearl in the capital city, where he believes he will get a fair price. This amazes the villagers because Kino has never traveled so far. After dark that evening, Kino is attacked again. Juana is sure is evil and will destroy the family. During the night, she quietly removes it from the spot where Kino has hidden it and tries to throw it back into the oce .....

.... the king and queen of Corinth were his parents. When he caught wind of the prophecy as young man he fled Corinth and wound up in Thebes where he would become king and marry the queen. He conquered the Sphinx and earned the respect of the citizens. He took a lot of pride in his ability to rule and be a great man. Oedipus did not know that the Oracle's prophecy and his pride would bring down from the ranks of greatness. He could not escape it; it was his fate. Taking a deeper look into Aristotle's definition of a tragedy we learn that a tragedy must show the protagonist falling from good fortune to misfortune. How the protago .....
