... orders not to permit Hamlet to see her again. Her father also wanted to prove Hamlet’s madness to the king. He used Ophelia as bait so he and the king could listen to Hamlet’s words. Ophelia willingly obliged to her father’s desires. By not thinking for herself and only doing as her father wished, she ruined her chances of love with Hamlet. Hamlet put pressure on Ophelia by expecting her to surpass his mother’s shortcomings and be an epitome of womankind. He searched her innocent face for some sign of loving truth that might restore his faith in her. He took her mute terror for a sign of her guilt and found her to be a false person, like his mother. In ...
... weak and boring feelings. The contradiction of words is used to describe what Hamlet thinks about his own vengeance of his father’s death with Claudius. He feels that he hasn’t given his best effort to revenge his uncle and therefore calls his revenge “dull” which is a powerful way to describe his feelings. We get another look into the mind of Hamlet when he is talking about his thoughts that have “one part wisdom and ever three parts coward”. The word choice here shows another contradiction between the words “wisdom” and “coward”. A coward is able to have wisdom but if the cowardly aspect takes control than the wisdom is smothered. ...
... of how Polonius’ innocent involvement with the royalty results in his death can be found at the beginning of Act III, scene iv, when Hamlet stabs him while he is hiding behind the arras in Gertude’s room. This shows how Polonius, a man unaware of the true nature of the situation he is in, is killed by a member of the royalty during the execution of one of their schemes. This makes Polonius’ death a tragedy. The next member of Polonius’ family to die is his daughter Ophelia. Ophelia’s death is tragic because of her complete innocence in the situation. Some may argue that Polonius deserves his fate because of his deceitfulness in dealing with Hamlet while ...
... you have made: / From this day forth/ Never speak again to these men or me; / You yourself are the pollution of this country” (Sophocles 1027). When Oedipus left his stepfather because of the oracles prediction it is unequivocal that he is trying to escape his own fate. When Oedipus is on his way from Corinth he runs into his real father and kills him and then defeats the Sphinx to become the new king of Thebes. After this first accusation the reader can see that not only is the king accused of murder but he has committed murder before. Oedipus unknowingly killed his own father but also married his mother. This trick of fate is indisputable when Jocasta tries ...
... advertising he'll have less buyers which will slow down his company's growth. But in my opinion, I don't think advertising is necessary because we can live with less products. It might even be better with no advertisements because T.V shows and basketball games would be on continuously without any commercial interruptions. For example, my advertisement is advertising Reebok, but I don't need it, I can live with slippers or nothing at all; nevertheless, wearing a pair of Reebok shoe would be more comfortable. I think advertising is the right to choose. When something is advertised, it does not mean that you have to buy it, but it is giving you a choic ...
... story is set in Elizabethan England with present day concerns like doing what makes us happy despite what others think is morally acceptable. The use of the Globe Theatre expresses the difference in times, but the importance of entertainment. The film demonstrates the way plays were acted out solely by men. This illustrated the lack of belief that a woman could put on an act as well as a man. However, in this movie, the part of Juliet winds up being acted out by a woman much to the surprise of the audience. In response to this the people are appalled and feel that she should be punished for taking on the role that only a “ man” should do. The quee ...
... that are desperately in love are torn apart by forces they c annot control. Helena is in great anguish because she cannot have Demetrius and now it seems that Lysander is mocking her over this very fact. Hermia is also in terrible pain due to the sudden change of heart seen in her lover. Demetrius is still seeking Hermia with no hope of success and Lysander is trapped in the daze of love for a woman that is not his true love. It is with this feeling of utter helplessness that Shakespeare ends act II. Although this is one of Shakespeare's comedies, an interesting way to resolve the story would be to take the traditional tragic approach: everyone dies. Hermia, ...
... in the play however, being the hero of one plot and the villian of another. He is the hero by avenging his fathers death, while being the villian by killing Polonious and causing Ophellia's insanity. Her insanity being caused by Hamlet's murder of her father is proven when she sings "He is dead and gone lady, he is dead and gone, at his head a green grass turf, at his haed a stone." (Shakespeare, 383) Hamlet is also faced with the awareness of evil and longs for death, being disgusted with life. He thinks that life is manifested in sex, which he sees as not only the force that creates more life and thus more evil, but as the root of his mother's si ...
... in less then two weeks when a survey shows he is behind. A sex scandal is going to be release to the public. The movie will show what’s the Presidential public relations personals will do to keep the story from publish. Political comparison Within the two movies there is an act of War created. In Aldrieh’s it was the political actions behind entering Vietnam. In “Wag The Dog” it was only an imaginary war and creating a fake conflict in order to distract people and to make political change legitimate. I found in both movies a strong present of forces that pulls into some real decisions to it’s favor and probably doing things that doesn’t come out w ...
... SKG works of Steven Spielberg. However, just like Spielberg's previous AMAZING STORIES, HIGH INCIDENT has already ceased to air. This could still change though, with the next season. Of the remaining four hours, three are on television every Thursday night, and include the tremendously popular FRIENDS, the SINGLE GUY, the hits SEINFELD and CAROLINE IN THE CITY, and the most popular show this year, ER. For the remaining hour I choose to look at THE TONIGHT SHOW, with Jay Leno. Between these shows there are many similarities and many differences. All of these shows can be directly compared with each other, having some of the same qualities. Looking at these sh ...
