.... blinded, tell him Odysseus, raider of cities, took your eye: Laertes’ son whose home’s on Ithaca”, shouted Odysseus to the crippled Polyphemus, which was not very smart. If Odysseus had not told the Cyclops this incriminating information, he would have had a much safer journey. Polyphemus begged his father Poseidon, god of earthquake, to curse Odysseus. The Cyclops cried out to his father to prevent Odysseus from returning home, and pleaded with him to let Odysseus lose his companions. Circe and Tiresias warned Odysseus and his men that it would be disastrous if the sun god’s cattle were harmed. Odysseus .....

.... With this intense team playing style they won the Stanley cup the following season. The next and final chapter in section 1 was Behind the Bench. The most substantial role is not being played on the ice, but behind the bench by the coaches. The coaches in any sport set the tone and mood of their team. During the game the coach is probably ranked higher than the players mother in the authority category. This gives the coach almost unlimited power. Coaches become very close to their players and learn ways to get them to perform individually as well as a team player. Coaches become as involved in the game as the players. Some .....

.... Buffoons are usually regarded as fools. Their differences could be of how they dress, act or portrayed in society. A clown for example, "was understood to be a country bumpkin or 'cloun'". In Elizabethan usage, the word 'clown' is ambiguous "meaning both countryman and principal comedian". Another meaning given to it in the 1600 is "a fool or jester". As for a buffoon, it is defined as "a man whose profession is to make low jests and antics postures; a clown, jester, fool". The buffoon is a fool because "although he exploits his own weaknesses instead of being exploited by others....he resembles other comic fools". This is simil .....

.... not want to change Kate’s inward thoughts, he does not want to break her spirit. The greatest example can be quoted below. Petruchio says, "Thy gown? Why, aye. Come, tailor, let us see't. / O mercy, God! What masquing stuff is here? / What's this? A sleeve? Tis like a demi-cannon. / What, up and down, carved like an apple tart? / Here's snip and nip and cut and slish and slash, Like to a censer in a barber's shop." (4.3.86-92) Petruciho uses the beautiful gown to show Kate that she will no longer have her way. Petruicho also uses several other instances to tame Kate. Petruicho is "fashion .....

.... Lady Macbeth tells Macbeth when the king is in their castle to “Your hand, your tongue: look like th’ innocent flower, but be serpent under’t.” What this meant was that Macbeth looked and talked like an innocent little flower, but under that fake mask he was an evil serpent. I agree that Macbeth was unimaginative to a degree but then again he had an imagination because he saw the daggers before he killed King Duncan, and after he got Banquo killed he saw the image of Banquo in his seat. An example of this is stated here: ”Is this a dagger which I see before me, The handle toward my hand? .....

.... nears death, Henry assures him that he can handle the responsibility of being the next king. His father tells him two very important pieces of advise if Henry is to become a good and just king. He must listen to trusted advisors, and he must unite the English lords through a foreign war. Shakespeare uses that to foreshadow what Henry must do to become a good king, in Henry V. At the time when Henry becomes king, Shakespeare gives hints that the people are questing Henry's ability and responsibility to become a king. In Henry IV, Part II, Henry shows his advisors that he can be a good king and mend his drunken ways. When .....

.... it because that would mean conceding that Charley is successful and he isn’t. Another example of his stubborness is the fact that he refuses to accept the fact that his philosophy of business (becoming successful by appearance and being well-like) doesn’t work. He grew up being told those ideas but times have changed. Society has become more capitalistic. Willy refuses to adapt and cannot accept a business system based on capitalism. He does realize to a limited extent that he doesn’t really have a place in society. He is part of a dying generation. Thus, his stubbornness and refusal to accept reality are major p .....
