... Macbeth I, III, 144-146 ), meaning that new clothes do not fit our bodies, until we are accustomed to them. Throughout the entire play, Macbeth is constantly wearing new clothes (titles), that are not his, and that do not fit. Hence, his ambition. This ambition, as we see, is what leads to his demise. When Macbeth first hears the prophecy that he will be King, he does not see how it can be so, "to be king / Stands not within the prospect of belief" ( I, III, 73-74). However, Macbeth’s ambitious nature becomes visible when he considers murdering King Duncan to claim the throne, "If it were done, when ‘tis done, then ‘twere well / It were done quick ...
... though it may be, for things important in her life. That leads to a rebirth of fantasizing that you perfected in your youth, where she is an innocent passive party to your feasts of imagination. Then, the final straw is when the fantasy becomes reality. And as your Love and her lover scale those endless heights, sadly, you, with tear-misted eyes are left far below, alone, with that wilted imperfect image clutched in your hands. The one I love has always, well, I suppose the term is "humored" me. I have nothing to offer her that would mean anything to her, except my love, an exceeding cheap commodity to those receiving it; and inhumanly expensive to tho ...
... counts. If a woman never got married, because of lacking money or looks, she would go and live with a married sister or brother. If she did not have any brothers or sisters to live with, she would become a governess. ‘Pride and Prejudice’s’first sentence, ‘It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife,’ introduces the theme of marriage, and money, in an ironic way. Jane Austen starts off using intellectual sounding words to introduce the hunt for a rich husband. The sentence contains a mixture of comedy, humour and irony that will continue throughout the novel. In ‘Pride and P ...
... did sting thy father’s life/Now wears his crown” (1,V,39-40). The first speech by Claudius is well organized and is clever enough to conceal his deadly sin which was committed through ambition and possibly lust: Ay, that incestuous, that adulterate beast. With witchcraft of his wit, with traitorous gifts- A witched wit, and gifts that have the power So to seduce! - won to his shameful lust The will of my most seeming-virtuous queen. (1,V,42-46) On more than one occasion Claudius sends Rosencrants and Guildenstern to spy on Hamlet. Although they are supposed to be Hamlet’s schoolmates, Claudius uses them as pawns in his ...
... They enter the war fresh from school, knowing nothing except the environment of hopeful youth and they come to a premature maturity with the war, their only home. "We were eighteen and had begun to love life and the world; and we had to shoot it to pieces. We are not youth any longer." They have lost their innocents. Everything they are taught, "the world of work, duty, culture, and progress" are not the slightest use to them because the only thing they need to know is how to survive. They need to know how to escape the shells as well as the emotional and psychological torment of the war. The war takes an heavy toll on the soldiers who fight in it. The terror of d ...
... not so Americanized. Jing mei saw China as a Communist country. She envisioned a poor country containing small villages, with people who would not have the slightest idea of what it felt like to have the same luxuries that many Americans are fortunate to have. She later found out that she was totally wrong. Right from the beginning she was surprised as she arrived at the train station where she saw crowds of people wearing drab Western clothes, as she described, with spots of bright colors and old ladies in gray tops and pants that stop mid-calf. She had to remind herself that she was in China because, while waiting in line to go through customs, she felt like she ...
... this advice is free..."(II,iii,336-7) I think that Iago, originally was a character of good morale trying to raise in the state. Iago, did not feel as though he belonged in the Venetian state or the group that he desired to belong. We know Iago, is an outsider because of Cassio, when he speaks of Iago's kindness. " I never knew/ A Florentine more kind and honest."(III,i,39-40) A possible reason for Iago's severe actions against Othello in Cyprus was because he was an outsider and did not feel like he belonged. He may have felt that he had no reason to fight for Venice. (A. Kavanagh) Iago can be compared to a young child who is new in town and feels left out. Or eve ...
... of thought is left to the grade one thinkers. According to Golding grade one thinking is the highest thought process, “but these grade on thinkers are few and far between.” Golding’s article can be easily linked to Plato’s writing, The Allegory of the Cave, in which Plato declares, ‘let me show in a figure how far our nature is enlightened or unenlightened.” He goes on to discuss men in a world of darkness who can only guess what the shadows are. The truly intelligent would see these shadows and formulate an idea as to what they are. A somewhat intelligent person or a grade two thinker would be the man that is brought into the light and enlightened. ...
