... by Prospero and his daughter Miranda. Then he is forced to be their servant. Caliban explains "Thou strok'st me and make much of me; wouldst give me Water with berries in ‘t; and teach me how to name the bigger light, how the less, That burn by day and night; and then I lov'd thee, And show'd thee all the qualities o' th' isle,... For I am all the subjects you have, which first was mine own king."(I,ii,334- 354). We see he is treated as a lesser being because he is not of the same race as Prospero and Miranda. Prospero describes him as "A freckled whelp hag-born - not honour'd with a human shape."(I,ii,282-283) Clearly, the people of different races ...
... Lady Macbeth that he will not go through with the murder. The character of Lady Macbeth is therefore required to provide Macbeth with the extra will-power to fulfil his royal ambitions. Macbeth is almost 'forced' by Lady Macbeth to murder Duncan. After committing the murder, Macbeth seems almost delirious and he says that "...all great Neptune's ocean....hand". We can already see that he is sorry for what he has done. When Macbeth orders Banquo's murder, he is still in torment, but the cause of his anguish seems to have been changed. He is afraid of Banquo, because Banquo knows about the witches and their predictions of his(Banquo's) descendants being kings. Ban ...
... put an antic disposition on” (82) in order to move about the castle to get information about Claudius in order to avenge his father’s death. This is a truly ingenious plan in order for Hamlet to gain what he needs. He has made believers out of those around him that he is mad (when actually is not). Polonius says to Ophelia “That [rejected love from her] hath made him mad” (94). The king, however has a different opinion that “since nor th’ exterior nor the inward man resembles that what it was. What it should be, more than his father’s death, that thus hath put him so much from the understanding of himself I cannot dream of” (96). For this v ...
... known far and wide by name." (Oedipus p1) He thinks he knows who is parents are and where he came from; "I am the son of Polybus of Corinth, and of a Dorian mother, Merope." (Oedipus p28) It is only after the townspeople of THebes start to get sick,and they discover the murder of Laius,that Oedipus begins his great search. Oedipus vows to his subjects that he will find the contaminator of Thebes, not knowing that he has brought on the sickness of the people; "So shall you see me, as of right, with you, venging this country and the God together. Why, 'tis not for my neighbour's sake, but mine, I shall dispel this plague-spot; for the man, whoever it may be, ...
... Homer. Almost every little thing in the show is intended tobe humorous. In general the show is very funny but has some bad language and other offensive material. The fact that the show is a cartoon may be what has kept some people from watching. The cartoon though is what helps achieve many of the humorous aspects. For example a spill of nuclear waste would not be very amusing in a show with real people. The show has the assumption that it is OK if your family argues all the time. It shows this by the little arguments that the family constantly gets into. It also shows that it's pointless to try to be good all the time. One example is when they'r ...
... of matricide lead them to discover their action was wrong and they come to regret what they have done. However, Electra lacks a true fall from happiness into misery for either children, a profound sense of tragic suffering, and a strong catharsis of pity and fear. In Electra, both Orestes and Electra can be viewed as tragic figures, however Orestes is the better choice according to Aristotle. Orestes is the son of a king and is a prince, thus he is of a high birth. He has ethos, or a sense of right and wrong, in that he recognizes the injustices that have been done unto his father Agamemnon, his sister Electra, and himself by both Clytemnestra and her lover Aeg ...
... relationship. At this point in the play, Hamlet does not know that Claudius has murdered his father, but he dislikes him anyway. Claudius is not a bad king, which is demonstrated by his handling of the situation between Young Fortinbras and Denmark, but he is not extremely popular with the people and has brought back the obnoxious custom of firing the cannons whenever the king takes a drink. Claudius' conscience, here is non-existent. After the ghost of the dead King Hamlet tells Hamlet to avenge his murder, Hamlet has a reason to truly hate Claudius. From this point on in the play, there is definitely friction between the two. When Claudius offers Hamle ...
... and he was able to pursue his musical studies. He eventually became a popular musician and teacher in the Emperor's court. When he heard Mozart was coming to Vienna from Salzburg, he eagerly sought him out. He finally found him at a party, way from the other guests, acting like a silly animal, chasing a young woman. However, as soon as he heard his music starting without him, he changed into a serious musician, rushing to take his place as conductor. Salieri noticed that Mozart conducted without notes. Although he recognized that Mozart was a ‘giggling, dirty-minded creature', he was also able to see the genius in him. He couldn't understand why God had chosen a ...

... before them. In order to analyse and evaluate the action occurring on stage, Brecht believed that the audience must not allow itself to become emotionally involved in the story. Rather they should, through a series of anti-illusive devices, feel alienated from it. The effect of this deliberate exclusion makes it difficult for the audience to empathise with the characters and their predicament. Thus, they could study the play's social or political message and not the actual events being performed on stage. This process is called Verfremdungseffekt, or the alienation effect, where instead of identifying with the characters, the audience is reminded that they ...
