.... Witches have traditionally been ugly people wearing all black, the color that represents darkness and death. By saying that the white spider and the dead moth are like ingredients of a witches brew is actually putting those two objects on a lower level of existence. Ingredients in witch’s brew are usually despicable items that are not worthy of any human being. Frost talks about the spider on a white heal-all holding up a dead white moth. A heal-all is a flower traditionally known for its healing capabilities, but in this poem it is acting as a boxing ring for the spider and the moth. The moth saw a white spider and figur .....

.... context and circumstances, is one which encourages him to seek revenge for his murdered father. For Hamlet to be perceived as a noble and worthy son, he would have to kill his father's murderer, and his actions would be supported by society as long as the murderer was believed to be guilty. In Hamlet's first soliloquy after the encounter with the ghost early in the play, when the ghost tells him that he must seek revenge, Hamlet quickly acknowledges his duty as a son. Hamlet: I'll wipe away all trivial fond records, All saws of books, all forms, all pressures past... And thy commandment all alone shall live Within the book and .....

.... Ernest. This mindset causes the men to lie and deceit the poor girl because he has fallen in love with her. She finds out in the end that his name is not Ernest and that she will love him after all but she would have not given him another look had he not lied. This play has a lot of points that can be relevant to a historical society as well as the one of today. The people of today have the inner need to lie and create this god-like image of self that hides the beautiful person they are inside. We also narrow our choices in deciding not to talk to a certain "type" of person. In reality we maybe missing out on a truly grea .....

.... the Danes for twelve years, with his bare hands by ripping off his arm Another heroic trait of Beowulf is his ability to put his peoples welfare before his own. This is because of his strong belief in fate. If he dies in battle it’s because it is his destiny to do so. "Fate will unwind as it must! (189)" He realizes the dangers but fears nothing for his own life. This is what I believe makes Beowulf a true hero. This is where all the super-men, batmen and other such characters come from. Even after serving his people as King of the Geats for fifty years, he goes to battle in hopes (or fate) to destroy a horrible dragon w .....

.... the raw material for his first stories. Jack London fought his way up out of the factories and waterfront dives of West Oakland to become the highest paid, most popular novelist and short story writer of his day.

Along with his books and stories, however, Jack London was widely known for his personal exploits. He was a celebri .....

.... at first is known as a sweet and gentle person who only care about studying, but as she reach her goal, to be married her true self appears. She becomes insensitive and unkind by not coming at the call of Lucentio. In the other word she becomes almost what her sister was. By making this contrast Shakespeare developed the theme that we can not decide about people by only look at them because, what a person really is, is more important than how they look or how they seems they are. One of the other important contrasts in this play that is help to develop theme is the contrast in setting. As an example of contrast in setting is .....

.... This relates to The Grapes of Wrath by enlightening the reader of the fact that many things are identical at different levels. The first level, the literal, is simply to describe the events the Joads witness and experience. Steinbeck uses the journey to place his characters in a range of dilemmas. He is then able to draw reactions from them. As each character involved in the situation reacts, we are able to see Steinbeck's respect for the poor shining through. Steinbeck stresses the evolutionary idea that man must adapt to changing conditions. Among the worst offenses he feels one man can commit against another is th .....

.... leads us to death. When these lines are read together it enables the reader to see the despair and agony Macbeth is now suffering. The past is pushing him ahead and the future is creeping in on him. He has nowhere in time or space to escape. Death is the only place left to go. "Out, out brief candle!"

Macbeth is at the point in his life where he is now trapped by his fate. The consequences of his actions have caught up with him. This may very we .....

But in doing so let us be careful to keep together, if we separate, the murderer gets his chance." (pg 142) " I think, my dear young lady, we would all prefer to come and watch you make it." (pg 146) The next thing that happened to the guests was the way they started to act around each other. One of the first act was to become testy and aggressive with each other. Each person, with there nerves running on high octane, all reacted in the same manner. The .....

.... lodging for nothink." (51). The "respectable old gentleman" is none other than Fagin, a crafty, old, shriveled scoundrel who enriches himself by teaching outcast boys how to steal. It's unsettling to witness the calculated manipulation of the trusting and impressionable Oliver into the world of petty crime. And, it isn't only Fagin who spreads evil among the cast-off waifs of London. There is someone viler, someone even Fagin fears; Bill Sikes, a brute and a murderer. He has his own criminal pursuits with the little hero in mind. Through many a "Twist," and the help from a wealthy benefactor, Mr. Brownlow, Oliver manages to e .....
