... and the fact he can not disobey his own wife. He is weakened by the words of Lady Macbeth, when she questions the fact of if he is a man. "Was the hope drunk/ Wherein you dressed yourself? Hath it slept since?" (1.7. 38-39) Lady Macbeth wants to know if he is a true man under his clothes. She questions him because of his unwillingness to kill Duncan. Lady Macbeth is a villain because she insults Macbeth by calling him a girl. In the next quotation Macbeth is being directed by Lady Macbeth, to be a person in which he is not. "Look like the innocent flower, / but be the serpent under't" (1.6. 73-74). Lady Macbeth wants Macbeth to act innocent but be evil ...
... people killed, and is eventually slain by Macduff when he and Malcolm return leading the armies of England. Often people read the play and automatically conclude that Macbeth's tragic flaw is his ambition; that he is compelled to commit so many acts of violence by his lust for power. However, by carefully examining the first act, one can determine the defect in Macbeth's character that creates his ambition; his true tragic flaw. Macbeth's tragic flaw is not his ambition as most people believe, but rather his trust in the words of the witches and in his wife's decisions. At the beginning of the play Macbeth has no designs on the throne, and he does not start pl ...
... general into murdering his wife. Iago simultaneously conducts a devious plan to obtain Cassio's position as lieutenant, using Desdemona's prime weakness; her naivety. He disgraces Cassio by intoxicating him enough so he strikes Roderigo. Othello then discharges Cassio of his Lieutenancy when he says: "Cassio, I love thee,/ But nevermore be officer of mine" (II.iii.242-244). It was therefore understandable that he would fall to the mercy of Iago, completely oblivious to the inevitable effects. Iago reveals his plan to the reader in his third soliloquy when he states: His soul is so unfettered to her love, That she may make, unmake, do what she list, even as he ...
... informed choice not and not to go in blind. By using the genre qualification, the industry is able to target societal groups and try to produce and market what they want to see. The public attends a film because they think they might enjoy some aspect of it. The film genre follows a set of abstract rules that allows the public to informally categorize films. These rules must be viewed from an flexible point of view in order to legitimize their future existence. By using this method of categorizing films the public is able to decide which films they wish to see and those they do not. Some people love musicals and if they were to go to one and find there was n ...
... looks. After the Banquet when everyone goes off to bed, Macbeth murders Duncan. When finding out of the death, Duncan's two sons fled fearing for their lives, Malcolm headed towards England and Donabain to Ireland. Macbeth sends two murderers to kill Banquo, for he fears that the witches prophecies about Banquo will come true too. Macbeth is scared and confused at the second Banquet celebrating the coronation, for he sees the ghost of Banquo sitting in his seat, everyone thinks he is mad, though Lady Macbeth saves her husband from revealing her guilt to the guests. Macbeth goes and visits the witches again asking for another prophecy and they tell ...
... for his country. In the next passage, in which the sergeant says "Which smok'd with bloody execution", he is referring to Macbeth's braveness in which his sword is covered in the hot blood of the enemy. After these few references to honour, the symbol of blood now changes to show a theme of treachery and treason. Lady Macbeth starts this off when she asks the spirits to "make thick my blood,". What she is saying by this, is that she wants to make herself insensitive and remorseless for the deeds which she is about to commit. Lady Macbeth knows that the evidence of blood is a treacherous symbol, and knows it will deflect the guilt from her and Macbeth to t ...
... that are controlled or reflected by the heaven and stars: These late eclipses in the sun and moon Portend us to no good. Though the wisdom of nature can reason it thus and thus, yet nature finds itself scourged by the sequent events. (Act 1, Sc. 2, 109 - 113) This is proclaimed by Gloucester as he is told by Edmund of Edgar’s supposedly treacherous plot to remove him from power. Gloucester’s trust in Edgar faltered as a result of Lear’s irrational banishment of Cordelia and Kent, coupled with recent anomalies in the heavens. Gloucester believed that Lear’s actions also came as a result of the star’s unusual behaviour. Edmund, the treache ...
... on him. Nobody suspects that Iago is a deceitful man and would plot and plan to destroy Othello, Cassio and Desdemona in such a cunning way. Iago used his reputation, and the insecurities of Othello being a Moor, to allow him to manipulate Othello. Othello had a reputation of being a military man, and a courageous leader. “Valiant Othello, We must straight employ you...” “Here comes Brabantio and the valiant Moor.” Othello has been a soldier since he was seven years of age, and has experience on the battle field. Othello was chosen when they went to fight the Turkish fleet. Because of his reputation, it wasn’t hard for other people to accept the relations ...
... instead of telling the truth about Valjeans thievery, he gives the criminal more silver and sends the police away. He makes Jean Valjean promise that he will become an honest man with this silver. The next scene in 10 years later set in a factory where we meat the other main character, Fantine. As she is reading a letter her perverted boss snatches it up with his hands and reads it aloud. Fantine has a daughter that lives with an innkeeper and his wife who are the only ones in this whole play that give some comedy relief. They treat her daughter horribly and when the boss finds out that she has a daughter he thinks of her as a prostitute and kicks he ...
... to and comprehends the words of wisdom which most people do not fully understand until their life has passed by. “Carpe Diem, Seize the Day like there will be no tomorrow, Seize the Day before it passes you by.” The Welton Academy rears young boys into strapping men under the laws of ethics and morality, standards created by the school, centered around discipline and conformity, opposed to creativity and initiative. Mr. Keeting, a new teacher from the Chester School in London, not only introduced his students to a European method of teaching, but cultured them with independent thought and originality. He lead his students into the battle field of life, upon t ...
