... On the other hand, Abigail Williams, is not. She is the antagonist. Abigail likes to change her story to favor herself.

... everything deserves a name. He describes how, in his travels, he "met" a refrigerator who was named and a stove that was names something else. He said that in naming these objects, you would refrain from taking better care of one than the other or taking them for granted. He even made the parallel between the respect you have for these objects and the respect you would have for your wife. With all of this in mind, one must understand that this interpretation is one of the most common of the modern world, a world entirely enthralled in the ideas of science, however, it is an incorrect one. There are four Levels of Being, the first, m, is the mineral level. ...
... In the beginning of the film one of the monks recites, "May I be the doctor and the medicine, and may I be the nurse for all sick beings in the world until everyone is healed…may I be a bridge, a boat, a ship for all those who wish to cross the water." Later in the film, the Dalai Lama says, "Wisdom and compassion will set us free." As shown through the quotations, Kundun portrays the image of the Tibetan people as religious, peaceful, loving, and compassionate. However, the film delineates the Chinese as cruel, uncompassionate oppressors. For example, Chairman Mao is depicted as a rude and heartless man when he meets with the Dalai Lama just prior to ...
... uses the word "immediately," which is very strong and demanding. Her true love, Romeo, is also associated with night. "Come, night, come Romeo, come thou day in night." (Shakespeare Act III Scene ii:17) Shakespeare uses night also as a time for exchanging of vows. "Lady, by yonder, blessed moon I vow, That tips with silver all these fruit tree tops -- -". (Shakespeare Act II Scene ii:106-107) After Romeo's vow Juliet later promises during the welcomed night to be loyal to him throughout his life. Under the cloak of darkness she is unafraid to pledge, "And all my fortunes at thy foot I'll lay, And follow thee my lord throughout the world." (Shakespeare Act I ...
... King Fortinbras, the family of Polonius, and the family of King Hamlet. The heads of each of these families are all slaughtered within the play. Fortinbras, King of Norway, was killed by King Hamlet; slaughtered by sword during a man to man battle. "…our valiant Hamlet-for so this side ofour known world esteem'd him-did slay this Fortinbras." This entitled King Hamlet to the land that was possessed by Fortinbras because it was written in a seal'd compact. Polonius was an advisor to the King, and father to Laertes and Ophelia. He was nosy and arrogant, and he did not trust hischildren. Young Hamlet killed him while he was eves dropping on aconversation betw ...
... Act 3, Scene 1 of Romeo and Juliet, Romeo is seen to be upset at Mercutio's death and predicts that the “days black fate on more days doth depend.” (III, I, 118) Tybalt then re-enters and Romeo becomes more upset that Tybalt is triumphant with Mercutio being dead (III, I, 121).

... Shakespeare captures this theme in "Much Ado About nothing" because pretending is something people often do whether it is positive or negative. The idea of acting and the illusion it creates is rarely far from the surface. Do we ever undeniably know the truth about someone, a situation or ourselves? In "Much Ado About Nothing", everyone is pretentious. Don Pedro deceives Hero by acting the part of an honest friend, concerned for his brother and Claudio's honour. Leonato and his family act as if Hero were dead, encouraged to this deception by, of all people, the Friar who feels that deception may be the way to get at truth and all the main characters in ...
... Lear has three daughters: Cordelia, who is faithful and unappreciated by Lear, and Regan and Goneril who receive everything at his hands and betray him. These themes of misplaced love and filial betrayal are mirrored in the subplot of the play, the relationship between the Earl of Gloster and his two sons, Edmund, who is supported and approved by Gloster and betrays him, and Edgar, who unjustly becomes a fugitive from his father's wrath. The mirror is whole. In it we view Cordelia's reflection and see Edgar, while Regan's and Goneril's reflections, which are of one face, show us Edmund. In the main plot ofHamlet, Hamlet's father has been murdered. Hamlet swears re ...
