... the way of that. It was wrong for her to persuade Macbeth to kill the king, and she knew this, which is why she felt so horrible for her wrong doing that she killed herself. The second reason for Macbeth’s downfall is because of the three witches. This is a better reason for his downfall than that of his wife because these witches knew exactly what to say to spark the fire in Macbeth. These witches stir up trouble throughout the whole play and aid to . Though, they are also not the main reason for his downfall because they warn Macbeth of his destruction, but he doesn’t listen to the three witches and tries to challenge their prophecies. Do to his stubborn ...
... to everybody watching that Bottom had made a mistake. This type of humor, while obvious, sometimes doesn't portray the meaning correctly. Inferred humor is sometimes more suited for this. Shakespeare used something like inferred humor to get across some other meanings that added to the play. One good example is the character of Puck. Puck is a hyperactive child that gets into a lot of mischief. His attitude toward his tasks is sort of a light and airy one. He does not take life seriously, he only does what is fun. This type of character is totally different than everyone else in the play; they are in a serious tone, while Puck is just dancing around pulling ...
... his way to the throne. This included even the innocently helpless children who actually have the true right to the throne. This would make any audience hate the man, however, Shakespeare gives Richard a string with which to pull at the audience’s heart: his grotesque deformities and the effect they have on Richard and his life. Richard uses this string to his advantage during the first thirty-five lines of the play. How could anyone hate a man who pours the disappointments of his life out to them? Richard might be a great warrior and the main man during times of war, but during times of peace he is disregarded by everyone and forgotten. He is too hideous to ...
... the passion the actors had, after Hamlet's third soliloquy, in Hamlet's fourth soliloquy, and in Hamlet's indecisive pursuit in avenging his father's death. First, Hamlet's flaw of irresolution is shown when he sees a play and the passion one particular actor had. A group of players has arrived and Hamlet arranges a personal viewing of The Murder of Gonzago with a small portion of his own lines inserted. Hamlet then observes one portion of the play in which one of the players put on a great display of emotion. Hamlet, besieged by guilt and self-contempt, remarks in his second soliloquy of Hamlet of the emotion this player showed despite the fact that the playe ...
... Macbeth did the actual murdering; he was also the first person who thought about killing Duncan. Lady Macbeth did not have any involvement in these cases. The first murder in this story was committed on Duncan. This crime was planned by both Macbeth and Lady Macbeth. Lady Macbeth just talked about committing the crime, but she never actually went through with it nor would she ever. Her talk and persuasion put the ideas in Macbeth's head and made him think it was the right thing to do. She urged him into doing it which makes her part of this crime, but she is not as guilty as Macbeth. The talk of murder and the planning Lady Macbeth did for her husband makes her ...
... sizable sum of money. The family sent out a lawyer to the island to see if the park is safe, and if its the cause for their relative's death. The book tells stories that the movie doesn't show. One of those is about a little girl. The little girl is vacationing with her parents when she goes off by herself exploring. She was looking for animals for her class, when she stumbles upon a lizard. She starts to get closer, when the lizard attacks her. The little girl starts to scream and cry until her parents come running to get her. At the sight of the adults, the lizard ran off. The girl's parents rush her to the nearest hospital. There, she is treated for ...
... other and then they kiss. It seems as though after the kiss, Hamlet realizes what might be going on and asks where Polonius is. Hamlet then realizes that he is in the room and continues his charade of acting mad. I think that this interpretation is the best one because it reflects my view of this scene as well as what I think Shakespeare's intentions were. Another version was the with Lawrence Olivier. Compared with the other two, this version didn't quite seem as realistic. When Hamlet enters them room, it seems like he already knows what's going on, and that Polonius and the King are in the room. You can tell that he thinks something's up when glances over a ...
... In less than a year, a total of nineteen men and women we re hung because of the paranoia and fear during the Salem witch trials. The Puritans were a very proper and dignified society. Dancing was considered evil and was something only the savages did. It was punishable by whipping. In Act One, the girls were deciding whether to tell the truth about what happened in the woods. Mary Warren said to Abigail, “Abby, we've got to tell. Witchery's a hangin' error, a hangin' like they done in Boston two year ago! We must tell the truth, Abby! You'll only be whipped for dancin' and the other things!”(18) Although this clearly shows that dancing was a puni ...
... the play progresses. The “angel” on one of his shoulders is telling him how kind this male ruler has been to him and the country of Scotland. The little “greedy devil” on his other shoulder that wants to be King finally overcomes the “angel.” His mind finally warrants him the justification to kill King Duncan. He has deep regret for what he has done shortly thereafter. The murder of the King is the first to slowly break down his now fragile emotional state. He feels that after murdering the King, he has given his mind and soul to those evil and demonic forces which are the enemy of mankind. It seems as though he is addicted to a drug; he must kill th ...
... attempts to establish rules for love prove unsuccessful. Because the rainstorm coincides with Andre’s arrival, there is a good possibility that Renoir is foreshadowing Andre’s death. The scene begins as Christine and Madame La Bruyere enter the foyer, talking about children’s sore throats. The two halt as they see the arriving aviator, and Christine’s clenched hands and rigid, immobile posture make notable expression of the tension she feels regarding their forthcoming meeting. Rather than cutting, the stationary camera tracks ninety degrees until it is behind the two women. The continuous camera movement reveals the object of her attention and smooth ...
