.... Paris. In Act 3, Scene 5, Lady Capulet announces that Juliet is to marry Paris. "The County Paris, at Saint Peter's church, Shall happily make thee there a joyful bride." Juliet obviously refuses and goes to Friar Laurence for help. Friar Laurence devises a plan, which will prevent the marriage and reunite Romeo with Juliet. However, this plan goes horribly wrong, perhaps causing the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. If Paris had not wished to be with Juliet, none of the following would have occurred.

.... sons would be kings, and Macbeth didnt like that). To boot, Macbeth sends assassins to kill Macduffs family. By the end of the play, Macbeth is a ruthless, honorless king, and gets killed by Macduff. Macbeth's good side was shown for a little bit in the begining of the play, but that quickly changes and Macbeth becomes evil. Lady Macbeth's character shows that she is evil and ruthless. Everyone thinks that she is a tender woman, sweet and kind. But on the inside, she is a pure murderer with no concious. The entire plot to kill Duncan was thought up by Lady Macbeth alone. She ridicules Macbeth for feeling guilt and remorse. .....

.... that it was him and not proclaiming his love to her then was Cyrano's tragic flaw and he suffered tremendously because of it. In this play Cyrano is also a hero. He is a hero because he helps many people including the baker and Christian. He helps the baker fight one hundred men in order to get into his house and he helps Christian by writing letters to Roxane and talking to Roxane for him. Cyrano also takes very little credit for the deeds he has done and this is another thing that makes him a hero. "I Know that it will to today, My own dearly beloved and my heart Still so heavy with love I have not told, And I die .....

.... whitish color as the sun radiates on them. The woman said, "They look like white elephants."(343) White elephants are known to symbolize unexpected gifts, which is certainly what the baby would be should they choose not to have the abortion. The barrenness of the land refers the tame life-- settling down and having the responsibilities of parenthood--that they would have to start living when the baby came; a life that would be duller but would have a purpose. The bead curtain represents the fact that once they choose a side, to have the baby or not, they cannot change their minds and then switch sides. Once the decision has bee .....

After Alatiel realizes all that h .....

.... the Danes for a long time, by using only his hands and ripping off Grendels arm. Defeating Grendel, he shows that a man, without armor and weapons, can defeat evil in any form. When Beowulf is fighting Grendel's mother, who is seeking revenge on her son's death, he is able to slay her by slashing her neck with a sword that can only be lifted by a person as strong as Beowulf. When Beowulf fights the fire- blowing dragon he knows this will most likely be his last battle, nevertheless he doesn’t give up. With a little help from his cousin he kills it. "And Beowulf drew his battle-sharp dagger: the blood-stained old king st .....

.... way out of this predicament? But, still he sat on the shore crying, supposedly wanting his wife! In addition to Odysseus’s infantile, he, like Bill Clinton, had some affairs. His first affair was with an enchantress named Circe. Circe had turned some of Odysseus’s men into wild pigs, and the only supposed way to turn them back was if Odysseus would “linger” with this “poisonous flower”. His second affair would be with the goddess Calypso. After losing his ship and all his men, Odysseus floated on a log in the sea and banked at Calypso’s Island, where she would invite him to eat, drink, and “linger” with her. .....

.... described as in that his actions are controlled by his emotion. We can clearly see how Alex’s inclination to do things that satisfy his emotion are strikingly similar to our desires to do the things that we want to do. This is the whole message behind the doctrine of original sin, where Adam’s first sin against God carried into his descendants. All humans are born with the desire to do evil, and thus we can justify Alex’s violent actions. Eventually, Alex’s friends betray him and set him up to be imprisoned, where he is conditioned to hate evil and to become sick at the mention or thought of evil, as well as the music .....

.... issues" involved. How do two relatively unimportant characters in Shakespeare's play interpret what is going on around them? What is the audience's response? What role do the Players hold in each of the two works? As an authority on Shakespearean works, I would consider Stoppard's play to be very enriching in both the interpretation of Hamlet as well as the consideration of what role Hamlet plays in modern society. Aside from that, the play "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead" addresses issues of isolation, sanity, depression, and luck that are not necessarily supposed to be related to Hamlet. I think that looking deeply .....
