Antigone: Civil Disobedience
.... how Antigone believed that the power of the gods was greater than
the power of any king. If she had obeyed Creon, she would have disobeyed the
stronger power of the gods which could have had more of a devastating result on

societies laws is both a right and responsibility.

The Divine Comedy: Dante
.... if Dante was to end up in
hell all along.
For some reason midway in Dante's life's journey he had gone astray and
at this point was searching for answers. I guess hell was as good a place to
start the search as any place. Something for sure had led him astray and Dante
was going to find out what it was. Strange as it may seem Dante did find the
answers he was looking for in hell.
Dante had entered into an awful place full of darkness and evil. Dante
did not realize to return back would not be easy, the Leopard stood blocking him
every turn to keep him from getting back. As a Christian I could relate to this.
I am often .....

Death Of A Salesman: Willy Loman - A Man With A Dream
.... doors will open and
problems will all disappear.
As a salesman, Willy developed many hindrances that caused his mind to
deteriorate. His life as a salesman was built on a dream that he witnessed as a
child. At an early age, Willy heard of a salesman, Dave Singleman, who could
make his living out of a hotel room. Singleman was very successful and when he
died, people from all over the country came to his funeral. It was this ideal
that Willy Loman sought after. All he ever wanted was fame, popularity, and a
few friends. Unfortunately, when Willy died, not a single person went to his
funeral. His life, one that was spent tr .....

Hamlet: Finding Courage To Die
.... the courage to end his life.
"Now might I do it prat," (Beaty, 1363) is a soliloquy in which we see a
shift in Hamlet's rationalization. Hamlet, as his fathers only son, is seeking
revenge for his fathers death, but is afraid that a quick death for Claudius
would not be enough. Hamlet feels that waiting until Claudius is in an immoral
situation would make him suffer in death because he would not be allowed to
repent for his sins. During this soliloquy Hamlet is caught up in his plot for
revenge and has foregone, for the moment, his plan of suicide.
The contradictions in these two soliloquies sheds much needed light on
Hamlet .....

Hamlet: A Sane Man
.... others
that he is insane when he actually has complete control over his psyche.
Hamlet only acts mad when he is in the presence of certain characters.
When he is around Polonius, Claudius, Gertrude, Ophelia, Rosencrantz, and
Guildenstern he acts completely irrational. When Hamlet is around Horatio,
Bernardo, Fransico, the players, and the gravediggers Hamlet acts completely
sane.
When Hamlet and Polonius meet in II,ii Hamlet calls Polonius a
fishmonger and makes strange conversation with him. In IV,iii Hamlet refuses to
tell Claudius were he has hidden the body of Polonius and goes on about how
Polonius is at supper. When .....

The Death Of A Salesman: How Biff Shows Irresponsibility
.... depends on Willy's support to help him. But since
Willy's expectations of Biff are not met, Biff does not receive the help he
needs and moves off on his own. This leaves Biff to find a goal in life and
reach it.
Finally, Biff does not know what to do for a living. He is constantly
moving around, unsure of what to do next. This may be because of his
uncertainty of a future. Biff has never held a steady job. Because of this, he
has never held a steady home. This shows a lot of irresponsibility. Until he
knows what he wants to do, Biff cannot settle down and become an adult. This
inconsistency in employment makes Biff irrespon .....

Human Flaws Of Orgon In Tartuffee
.... Although they share this trait throughout the play, Orgon's eyes are
finally opened at the end of the play while his mother is still held by the
farce of Tartuffe.
Although Tartuffe is portrayed as the main character of the play, Orgon is
the character who should really be paid attention to the most. As suggested in
an essay on "Tartuffe" audiences who concentrate on the character who titles the
work may miss the author's point: "…vitriol and spleen vented on one man
suggests that Moliere's satire of Orgon, nevermind Tartuffe, was steeped in
truth." (Smaje). Orgon is the character who represents the weakness in human

The little girl starts to scream and cry until her parents come running to get
her. At the sight of the adults, the lizard ran off. The girl's parents rush
her to the nearest hospital. There, she is treated for serious scratches and
incisions to her body. Later on, she tried to describe what the lizard looked
like, but no one believed her because the description sounded nothing like any
known species of lizards. She drew a picture of what she remembered the lizar .....

Macbeth: A Mature Man Of Established Character
.... of his great deed:
The service and the loyalty I owe,
In doing it, pays itself.
But while he destroys the king's enemies, such motives work but dimly at best
and are obscured in his consciousness by more vigorous urges. In the main, as we
have said, his nature violently demands rewards: he fights valiantly in order
that he may be reported in such terms a "valour's minion" and "Bellona's
bridegroom"' he values success because it brings spectacular fame and new titles
and royal favor heaped upon him in public. Now so long as these mutable goods
are at all commensurate with his inordinate desires - and such is the case, u .....

Macbeth: Aristotelian Tragedy
.... of a tragedy which has no choric
song after it. Of the Choric part the Parodos is the first undivided utterance
of the Chorus." Shakespeare follows this precise arrangement of parts to tell
his story of Macbeth. Macbeth is divided into five acts. It contains a
Prologue, Episode, Exodus, Parodos and Stasimon, but is the only one of
Shakespeares plays that does not include Choric songs. This does not dismiss
Macbeth as a tragedy in the Aristotelian sense, because it still follows
Aristotle's fundamental component of a plot. That the arrangement of actions
and episodes arrange themselves into a 'causally connected', seamless wh .....

The Merchant Of Venice
.... message,
"All that glisters is not gold," and is thus turned away by Portia. The Prince
of Arragon, on choosing the silver casket with, "Who chooseth me shall get as
much as he deserves," receives a fool's head, and is told that that is what he
deserves. Bassanio however, on correctly choosing the lead casket with the
inscription, "Who chooseth me must give and hazard all he hath," says, "The
world is still (constantly) deceived with ornament." He chooses the lead casket
so as not to be fooled by the dull appearance, and receives the beautiful Portia
and all her wealth who, in reality, contrasts with the ugly lead. The two
