... for Hamlet actions, was that all the people around him stopped mourning the king’s death and started celebrating the marriage between his mother and Claudius. And including that it seemed to be happier with her new partner than with Hamlet’s father. When it came down to love life, the whole idea he had of acting crazy affected Ophelia. Therefore obliterating the love he had shown her before during the peaceful times. And his action would later drive Ophelia to kill herself. Although the previous announced made a big impact on Hamlet’s decisions, none were as big impacting than the apparition of his father’s ghost, especially the way he looked. The gho ...
... each quatrain creating a specific thought. The opening quatrain begins with the forceful image of the personification of time, with the use of a capital; "Time." Like one's "hand," time is capable of destroying the seemingly indestructible "lofty towers" and "brass". Man is an "eternal slave" to time. In these opening lines Shakespeare is revealing that our ambitions drive the building of higher "towers" and stronger "brass," however, even as we strive to create monuments of greater magnitude and fortitude, time will always be the victor and man's empires will be "down-razed." Shakespeare quickly humbles the reader with powerful destructive words, "buried"; "deface ...
... has very delicately shaped stone columns in the style of Doric, which are plain and simple, Ionic, which have some details, and Corinthian, which have lots of details and design. The buildings of the time also were shaped in interesting forms like circles, ovals, or squares. Religion was also an important on Greek art. They gave many tributes to their gods and goddesses, which controlled many aspects of their lives. A strong example is the massive sculpture of the goddess, Athena, located in the Parthenon. Statues were made of bronze and sometimes marble. They were very life-like, and although there are no remaining bronze statues, there are copies of these statue ...
... death of Duncan, Macbeth's ambitions became apparent as the significance of the prediction and actual events emerged. Being an ambitious man, Macbeth said "I have no spur To prick the sides of my intent, but only Vaulting ambition which o'erleaps itself And falls on the other." (I,vii,l.25-28) In this speech Macbeth broadcasts his immense ambitions which are the only reason he is pursuing the witches prediction. Macbeth, upon hearing the witches speak was startled at their prophecy. Banquo said to him "Good sir, why do you start, and seem to fear / Things that do sound so fair?"(I,iii,l.54-55 ...
... Hamlet would of let Ophelia know the truth about Claudius so that Ophelia would have a better understanding of where Hamlet is coming from. By recognizing this first, many problems in the original tragedy wouldn’t have taken place. With Ophelia aware of the murderer, she takes matters into her own hands due to her love for Hamlet. Secretly she kills Claudius, but the cause for his death is unknown. Hamlet is the only person besides Ophelia who knows who the culprit is. This is kept a secret between the two and their love is what keeps the secret from getting out. All the little tragedies within the original tragedy are what make it such a great tragedy, but i ...
... for any parent to hear. Children are attracted by these advertisements because they like cartoons, and they think that a cartoon is harmless and what the cartoon does is harmless too. There is so much cigarette advertising out there a child is sure to be struck by its attention. The companies deny that these symbols target people under 21 and claim that their advertising goal is simply to promote brand switching. Illinois Rep. Richard Durbin disagrees with this statement stating “If we can reduce the number of young smokers, the tobacco companies will be in trouble and they know it”. The companies go toward a market that is not fully aware of the h ...
... to be very straightforward in his actions and inner state. When questioned by Gertrude about his melancholy appearance, Hamlet says, "Seems, madam? Nay it is. I know not 'seems.' (1.2.76). This is to say "I am what I appear to be." Later In Act I, Hamlet makes a clear statement about his state when he commits himself to revenge. In this statement the play makes an easy to follow shift. This shift consists of Hamlet giving up the role of a student and mourning son. Hamlet says, "I'll wipe away all trivial fond records, All saws of books, all forms, all pressures past, That youth and observation copied there, And thy commandment all alone shall live Within the boo ...
... the heath, one of the witches is conversing how she is going to “tempest-tossed”(I,iii,26) a ship and make the captain ill. “I’ll give thee a wind” and “drain him dry as hay sleep shall neither night nor day.”(I,iii,12). This spell is cast due to the fact that the captain’s wife would not give the witch a chestnut. Another hag is bragging about a thumb she has acquired “Here I have a pilot’s thumb”(I,iii,29). These are the first actions that are observed of the witches and the menacing force that is at work. When the witches encounter Macbeth and Banquo for the first time, they make three predictions for Macbeth which cause him great suff ...
... to division again. Throughout the text, the movements of celestial bodies are used to account for human action and misfortune. Just as the stars in their courses are fixed in the skies, so do the characters view their lives as caught in a pattern they have no power to change. Lear sets the play in motion in banishing Cordelia when he swears "by all the operation of the orbs from whom we exist and cease to be" that his decision "shall not be revoked". How like the scene in Julius Caesar wherein Caesar says "For I am constant as the Northern star" Lear vows to be resolute but dies regretting his decision at the hands of his daughters who claim love ...
... in summer, and to let it shine in when it is low in the winter. Chinese music is used in theaters as part of plays. It is also sung by the Chinese in their own folk tunes and popular songs. Instruments and voices follow the same notes in unison, instead of blending in harmony, and the rhythms are typically Chinese. Chinese melodies are very different from American tunes. Chinese scales are extremely different from American ones. Chinese music is built on five or seven notes. American music is built on the eight-note octave, with five half notes. Many Chinese tunes are never written on paper. They are remembered and taught to younger musicians. The ...
