Hamlet Essay
.... for thy better. Take thy fortune;/ Thou find'st to
be too busy is some danger.- [Act III. scene IV, lines 31-33] and then
talks about lugging his guts into another room. After Hamlet kills Polonius
he will not tell anyone where the body is. Instead he assumes his ironic
matter which others take it as madness. Not where he eats, but where he is
eaten. / A certain convocation of political worms a e'en at him. [Act IV,
scene III, lines 20-21]

you go up the stairs into the lobby. [ .....

Movie: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
.... 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 ‘obscene child to be his instrument'. At another time, Mozart's
wife presents to Salieri some of his work in an attempt to get him a job as a
teacher. Salieri sees that the music sheets have no corrections and no notes.
Mozart simply composed from his head onto pape .....

King Lear: Comedy Or Tragedy?

him. There must also be the element of chance or accident that influences
some point in the play.
King Lear meets all of these requirements that has been laid out by Bradley
which is the most logical for a definition of a tragedy as compared to the
definition of a comedy by G. Wilson Knight. The main character of the play
would be King Lear who in terms of Bradley would be the hero and hold the
highest position is the social chain. Lear out of Pride and anger has
banished Cordelia and split the kingdom in half to the two older sisters,
Goneril and Regan. This is Lear's tragic flaw which prevents him to see

Rogers And Hammerstein's South Pacific
.... him "It's not born in you."
It is at this point that Joe Cable begins singing "Carefully Taught," a
character song in which Joe is able to vent his frustrations and anger about his
own prejudices. The music is slightly upbeat, which helps to illustrate that by
singing this song, he is beginning to feel better. The words that Joe sing tell
the audience that he realizes that prejudices aren't born within someone, but
taught to them.
You've got to be taught to be afraid
Of people who's eyes are oddly made,
And people who's skin is a different shade –
You've got to be carefully taug .....

LADY MACBETH IS WORSE THAN MACBETH
.... under his very roof, and then
decides that he will not kill the king. This shows that Macbeth is thinking
about what he is going to do, and shows that he does feel guilt and is
weighing up the situation, unlike Lady Macbeth who never thinks twice about
killing the king. When Lady Macbeth notices that Macbeth has left the room,
she goes to speak to him. Macbeth firmly tells her that they will not kill
the king : "we will proceed no further in this business". Lady Macbeth,
however, tells him that his love is worth nothing if he refuses to go
through with the plan, saying that his love is as accountable as his
indecisiveness. Ma .....

Antigone: A Tragic Hero

fighting against the state, must be interred with the same honor as her brother
who died defending the state. She believes that this will help lift the curse
plagued on the household. The curse in which there father tried to hold at bay
and failed. Her sister Ismene warned Antigone by exclaiming "Sister please,
please! remember how our father die: hated, in disgrace, wrapped in horror of

Macbeth: The Symbol Of Blood
.... of treachery and treason. Lady Macbeth starts this off
when she asks the spirits to "make thick my blood,". What she is saying by
this, is that she wants to make herself insensitive and remorseless for the
deeds which she is about to commit. Lady Macbeth knows that the evidence
of blood is a treacherous symbol, and knows it will deflect the guilt from
her and Macbeth to the servants when she says "smear the sleepy grooms with
blood.", and "If he do bleed, I'll gild the faces of the grooms withal, for
it must seem their guilt." When Banquo states "and question this most
bloody piece of work," and Ross says "is't known who did .....

Oedipus
.... of determinism, is quite common in the workings of Greek and Classical
literature. A manifest example of this was the infamous Oedipus of The Theban
Plays, a man who tried to defy fate, and therefore sinned.
The logic of Oedipus' transgression is actually quite obvious, and
Oedipus' father, King Laius, also has an analogous methodology and transgression.
They both had unfortunate destinies: Laius was destined to be killed by his own
son, and Oedipus was destined to kill his father and marry his mother. This was
the ominous decree from the divinatory Oracle at Delphi. King Laius feared the
Oracle's proclamation and had hi .....

MacBeth
.... to fulfill his plan and
become king, Duncan would have to die. Duncan's fatal flaw was that he was
too trusting. For example, he thought that none of his friends could
really be enemies. If Duncan was more careful about his safety at
MacBeth's castle, he may have had a chance to survive. But Duncan's flaw,
wasn't something so horrible that he should die.
Most people need to trust each other more, and just because one person did,
he shouldn't have to die. MacBeth's former best friend, Banquo was also
killed by MacBeth. Banquo was killed, because he knew too much about the
murder of Duncan. But that was not his fatal flaw. Ban .....

The Witches Are Responsible For What Happens To Macbeth
.... of King Duncan,
Lady Macduff and her son, they cannot be held responsible for the murder of
Banquo. The witches only speak of Banquo when Macbeth meets with them for
the second time and Act 4, Scene 1, after Banquo has already been killed.
This murder is the complete responsibility of Macbeth, because the witches
had absolutely nothing to do with it and it was only Macbeth's own
suspicions that brought him to have Banquo killed.
If Macbeth had not taken action to fulfill the witch's prophecies, he would
probably have been happily living as the thane of Glamis and Cawdor at the
end of the play. It could be said that he was res .....
