But I’d just play another record or buy another dress an’ stop worryin’. …’Til … y’ have to decide whether it’s gonna be another change of dress or a change in yourself.” This tells us exactly why she decides to come on the course.

Hamlet And King Lear: Villians
.... still remains a large moral gap between Edmund and Claudius. The choice of language by a character often reveals insight into his character. The use of literary devices such as symbolism, irony, and double meaning all reveal more than what is literally expressed by a character. Often much of a character's speech is expressed while in the presence of other characters; the presence of others often influences the content of the villain's speech. A character planning to kill another man will not express ill feelings towards that man so that he may seem innocent. Villains, as such, often disguise their true intentions with flat .....

Commercials
.... about the rising problems today. In turn, this motivates the general public to take an active part in giving back to the community in which they live in and to educate the young people in the role that they will someday inherit.

Hamlet is declaring that he will be committed to nothing else but the revenge of his father's death. There is no confusion about Hamlet's character. He has said earlier that he is what he appears to be, and there is no .....
