... have considered the servant's warning; if Romeo occupies the name of Montague, he shall not be permitted. Once at the ball, Romeo is searching for a maiden to substitute the unrequited love of Rosaline. Romeo happens to gaze upon Juliet, who charms Romeo. Romeo proclaims, " Did my heart love till now? Forswear it, sight!/ For ne'er saw true beauty till this night." (I, v, l 52-53) Since Romeo declares his love for Juliet, she feels the attraction also. They believe that they are in love and must marry. However, it is a genuine coincidence that Romeo and Juliet were at the same place, at the same time. Some days after the ball, Benvolio and Mercutio are ...
... Lear denies the fault and tells Kent "out of my sight", which itself is a contradiction, as Lear does not have any 'sight' to see Kent's view and to understand the true extent of his decision to divide the kingdom. In the same scene, Lear also show the audience his failure to be a father, by using irrelevant judgements to divide land. "Which of you shall say doth love us most?" Lear asks his three daughters. To please Lear, Gonerill and Regan speak words of flattery and Cordelia, so 'true', says "I love you according to my bond." To hear this, Lear praises Gonerill and Regan by reward of land, but punishes Cordelia by "disclaim my paternal care, property and p ...
... and acts thoughtlessly and very quickly. One example of this is when she wakes up in the tomb and finds out the Romeo is dead. She refuses to listen to Friar Lawrence's pleas, to leave the tomb and come with him to a nunnery. Instead she tells him "Go, get thee hence, for I will not away." She tries to poison herself but there is none left. When she hears the watch coming she grabs Romeo's dagger and fatally stabs herself. Juliet is so upset she doesn't think and tries to poison herself instead of listening to the Friar, and in desperation of death, kills herself with the dagger. Romeo is careful and considerate in some parts of the play. An example of this is whe ...
... by saying: “If that is your will, … You have the right to enforce it: we are yours” (s. I, ll. 48-49). Clearly, Creon’s people obey his every word and show him all possible respect. Creon serves in the highest position in Thebes and, at first, seems ennobled by his title. Of course, conflict, both internal and external, are not strangers to men of high rank. Creon is embroiled in a difficult external struggle with his beloved son. When Haemon is first seen talking with his father, King Creon, they are arguing about Haemon’s desire to marry Antigone. The inflexible Creon does not approve and makes his “final judgment on that girl…”(s. III, ...
... idiotically ornate and impractical for warfare. It wasn't until about 1916 that the British and the French saw the light and stopped wearing all that Day-Glo, easy target colors" (Prof. Jahiel). For example, at the beginning of the movie, Magua killed one soldier marching in the line, and the guy next to him didn't even do anything until the commander said to attack. They would also fire at the same time, leaving the whole squad vulnerable to attack while they reloaded. By fighting in this manner, it allowed the Indians to fight much more strategically. They would fire muskets three at a time, so they could stop an oncoming rush while the others reloaded. Th ...
... stereotyping, brought on by her husband's dominance in the household as well as male domination in society as a whole, which leads to her feministic decision at the end of the play. Nora is also presented with the problem of hereditary determinism, as she suffers as a result of her father's past; however, she does not suffer alone. This time Dr. Rank is limited by his father's history as well. Therefore, through the problems of determinism in society (gender role and hereditary determinism), one is deprived of freedom to be an individual in society. The problem of hereditary determinism is one that certainly restricts a person from developing as an individual ...
... Juliet," through constant alterations of the props, which entice the audience into genuinely feeling the spirit of Shakespeare. First, the movie starts with an prologue masked as a news broadcast on television. This sets the scene of the play by illustrating the violence occurring between the two wealthy families, the Montagues and the Capulets. In Zeffirelli's film of "Romeo and Juliet," the prologue takes the form of a dry narrator relating the story of the Montagues and Capulets over a backdrop of an Italian city. For most modern viewers (especially teenagers), the Luhrmann picture is fast-paced, keeping the spectator intrigued, while the Zeffirelli pictur ...
... is doing is wrong even before he murders Duncan, but he allows Lady Macbeth and greed to cloud his judgement. In referring to the idea of the murder of Duncan, Macbeth first states,"We will proceed no further in this business"(I.vii.32). Yet, after speaking with Lady Macbeth he recants and proclaims,"I am settled, and bend up/Each corporal agent to this terrible feat"(I.vii.79 80). There is nothing supernatural to be found in a man being swayed by the woman he loves, as a matter of fact this action could be perceived as quite the opposite. Second, the witches have to be dispelled as a source of Macbeth's misfortune before the latter theory can be considered. It i ...
... buckle was added. The light weight ski-pants of the 50's gradually gave way to flares, bell bottoms, and loon pants, bright colors, novel materials, chunky rings, and sports cars were all part of the 60's look. In the early 60's, the teenagers world was suddenly hit by the rock- n- roll of phenomenon of the Beatles. Teens idoled rock stars and let their hair grow long and wore bright, wild colored clothes. Leather offered great opportunities for self - expression. The clothes were influenced by stage performers. The 60's was a reflection of the power of Jimi Hendrix, the Beatles, and the Rolling Stones. It was the beginning of the fashion reversal. Some pop ...
... untrue even from the beginning. In Act 1 Scene 3 Line 292, Desdemona says "I love him," and goes on demanding, "Let me go with him"3 ; she was talking about Othello and traveling with him to Cyprus. "The Long Spoon" is an Irish folk tale that because of its Catholic roots has the devil included in it. "The Long Spoon" depicts the Devil as no less deceiving, but instead of leading a jilted lover to believe that two others are in love, he convinces a hearth-money collector that the two of them were going out for nothing more than to see, "which would have the best load at sunset."4 The Devil lead this hearth-money collector into thinking that the two of them were go ...
