... Ophelia's initial appearances in the play, aiding in the preparation for her subsequent mental deterioration. Pol. What is between you? Give me up the truth. Oph. He hath, ny lord, of late made many tenders Of his affection to me. Pol. Affection, puh! You speak like a green girl Unsifted in such perilous circumstance. Do you believe his "tenders" as you call them? Oph. I do not know, my lord, what I should think. (I, iii, ln.107-113) Ophelia openly professes her confusion. Polonius' response is presented in a manner which is clearly intended to sincerely disdain Hamlet before his daughter, making obvious his opinion of their involvem ...
... though all the earth o’erwhelm them, to men’s eyes.”(Hamlet 1.3.276) The only problem is that Hamlet would find it difficult to gather the strength to kill. He had the chance and passed it up. However, to him this seemed to be the moral thing to do. He would wait until Claudius had sins on his soul. Why put a killer in heaven. Claudius quickly learns that Hamlet wants to have a fencing match, so Claudius decides to place poison on end of Laertes sword. Nevertheless, this was not enough, they also poured a cup of poison that Hamlet would drink, to insure that he could not escape death. Claudius felt no need to cause a scene and possibly ruin the whole plan, so ...
... his sins. “O! my offense is rank, it smells to heaven; It hath the/ Primal eldest curse upon’t;/ A brother’s murder. Pray can I not,/ Though inclination be as sharp as will:/ My stronger guilt defeats my strong intent .” (3.3. 37-41) However, he still had no intentions of making things right and wished to further carry out his plans as ruler of Denmark, even though he had many opportunities to re-establish the balance. He chose to continue on with his evil deeds, and by doing so, ended the lives of all the victims that were caught in his destructive path. Thus, Claudius was, undoubtedly, the main character who brought upon the upheaval of Denmark. Nothing, ...
... always eager to gain endowment, would jump at the chance to acquire that power as soon as possible, no matter what they had to do. This is the situation Macbeth was in. He was seeking the throne, and only wanted to find a faster way to obtain that authority, thus he killed, lied, and cheated his way to that place of honor. Readers may debate that Macbeth was indeed insane, thus leading the reader to believe that he was not representative of a typical human. This is true, yet any human can be insane, which further proves the validity that Macbeth was a common individual. Perhaps driven to insanity, no evidence exists to say that Macbeth was not ordinary, w ...
... to sound more professional than a movie done with want-to-be actors. The rule also gave way for more effective portrayal of a character. It did this in two ways. First, it gave a way to make the character deeper by giving him contrast to the other characters. Second, it gave an outlet where the characters could form unions with each other. They could team up two against one. It gave a way to show more power to characters. The three-actor rule was also beneficial for financial reasons. Because they were limited in the amount of actors they could bring to festivals, the plays were cheaper to produce. This became extremely important to the companies who trave ...
... he does not really believe them. A few minutes later, Ross enters. He tells Macbeth that the thane of Cawdor is in line for death and that Duncan has named Macbeth the new thane of Cawdor. Now, Macbeth is absolutely shocked. The witches prophecy has come true! He can not believe it! But now Macbeth has a lot more on his mind; the third prophecy about becoming the King. Macbeth knows that if something were to happen to Duncan, Malcolm and Donalbain, Duncan's sons, would be the rightful heirs to the throne. How can Macbeth be King when he is nowhere near the next in line to the throne? Another requirement for a tragic hero is that he must have a tragic flaw. ...
... To snare the nimble marmoset. I'll bring thee To clustering filberts, and I'll teach thee to get Young scamels from the rock. Does't though attend me? Stephano: I do. For all this service what want'st you in return. Caliban: I ask but one simple service. The death of my tyrant master. Stephano: You ask me to murder for you? Caliban: I ask only that you remove your only opponent in making me your vassal. Stephano: Well bargain'd for a monster such as thee. I shall consider it. If the scene is r ...
... it shows that his vivid imagination controls his thoughts so completely that it seems to be reality itself. The speech begins with his realization that he may one day become "king hereafter"; since "two truths are told", only one is left. Banquo senses Macbeth's ill-concealed emotions, asking him, "Why do you start, and seem to fear/Things that do sound so fair?" The answer is revealed in this soliloquy when Macbeth tries to reassure himself that "this supernatural soliciting/Cannot be ill." Then he confesses that he fears that "horrid image" which "doth unfix my hair." In other words, for the first time, Macbeth sees Duncan's murder as the quickest way t ...
... media of today. What better place to get the public informed about your reasons and purpose for attacks than the news. Albert gave a good definition of terrorist's objectives when he stated: "Terrorists try to exercise influence over targeted officials on nations through intimidation of the public and arousal of sympathy for the social and political causes they espouse. Without widespread publicity, terrorist acts can achieve neither of these effects" (Bandura, Albert qtd. In Nacos 1). Terrorists need the news media to get the publicity, and the media is a willing accomplice. The news media is an accessory to terrorism, and as such they should develop a set of ...
