Macbeth: Appearance Vs Reality
.... words so
that MacBeth might contemplate his future movements. However, MacBeth does not
take heed of Banquo's warnings. Because of the witch's predictions and his
impatience, MacBeth kills in order to get what he expects is coming to him.
When Banquo takes time to contemplate what has been going on, he turns his
thoughts to MacBeth. He expresses his feelings about the situation in Act II,
Scene 1. Banqou feels that MacBeth might have something to do with the murders,
but he never stands up for his thoughts or listens to his conscience until
MacBeth comes to him one day. When MacBeth asks to talk privately to Banquo,
Banquo stat .....

King Henry IV And Joseph Strorm: Archtypical Fathers
.... about the actual personality of the person. In the story a
very cold side of Joseph Strorm is shown; he never gets close to his son at all.
The only conversation shared between Joseph and his children are harsh and is
often punishment. The way Joseph responded when David jokingly wished for a
third arm showed that he cared more about his image and purity than he did for
his own child. Both King Henry and Joseph Strorm lacked the ability to look eye
to eye with their children. King Henry did not like the way his Prince ran his
life, and Joseph Strorm did not care at all about anything other than if
something was pure. These fathers .....

Macbeth: A Tale Of Two Theories
.... 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 is admittedly strange that the
weird sisters first address Macbeth with,"All hail, Macbeth! hail to thee Thane
of Cawdor!"(I.iii.49), a title which not even Macbeth is aware he has been
awarded. Even stranger is the third witch calling to Macbeth,"All hail, Macbeth, .....

Macbeth: Banquo's Soliloquy
.... of kings.
The main idea of his soliloquy is that Banquo knows that Macbeth killed
Duncan. Strangely enough, this soliloquy is placed two scenes before he died,
not giving him enough time to tell anyone else about his discovery. Banquo has
realized that Macbeth murdered Duncan but will die in two scenes anyway.
In Banquo's soliloquy in the beginning of the third act of Macbeth,
Banquo suspects that Macbeth is behind Duncan's murder. He knows this because he
has been best friends with Macbeth for a long time and knows that Macbeth has
the ability to commit murder to get what he wants. Also, he believes that he
should be next in lin .....

Julius Caesar: Brutus' Mistakes Or Harmartias
.... not be able to do anything without Caesar, and
would probably commit suicide. Cassius thinks that Antony should be killed, but
does not argue with Brutus. Antony ends up being even stronger without Caesar
and is a tyrant ruler in a triumvirate. Antony and his army are the reason why
Brutus kills himself. If Brutus did kill Antony he would probably of lived and
been a ruler Rome.
Another harmartia that Brutus made was meeting the armies of Antony and
Octavius in Philippi instead of having them come closer to the camp. Once again
Cassius thinks differently than Brutus. Cassius says, “'Tis better that the
enemy seek us; So shall he w .....

King Lear: Conspiracy In Nakedness And Dress
.... the Earl of Gloucester, is well dressed, not as
much as Lear, but still above commoners. Edgar is believed to be plotting to
annihilate his own father. So every one is after someone named "Edgar", who is
a well dressed noble. In order to protect himself, Edgar becomes no one. He
becomes nobody by shedding his noble garments, and disguises himself by, "My
face I'll grime with filth,/ Blanket my loins, elf all my hair in knots,/ And
with presented nakedness outface..." Now Edgar is nobody, and there is nobody
looking for nobody.
Edgar, wanting revenge on his bother, must take the status of somebody, so
he becomes a lunati .....

Catastrophes That Plagued Characters In Romeo And Juliet
.... Tybalt. On one hand he filled the urge to kill the man
who had killed his friend. On the other hand he killed his wife's cousin. How
can one justify killing a member of their wife's family? Another consequence he
should have taken into consideration was the punishment he was going to receive
from Price Escalus. In act one scene one Prince Escalus already warned everyone
in Verona that if anyone was caught fighting again the would pay for it with
there lives. If Romeo had not gotten into the duel with Tybalt Romeo would not
have been banished from Verona. When Prince Escalus exiled Romeo, that was the
point in the play whi .....

Macbeth: Character Analysis Of Macbeth
.... with Macduff, some of his old courage and
strength returned.
Macbeth could be brave when it came to action but when he started
thinking he would hesitate and would have to be urged into action by his wife or
by the sense of security that he obtained from the prophecies of the
supernatural. He changed his mind five times before murdering Duncan. The
witches' prophecy that he would be king made him decide to leave it to "chance,"
but Duncan's announcement that Malcolm was to be his heir made Macbeth realize
that he would have to take a course of action for the prophecies to come true.
He changed his mind again before he reached hom .....

Macbeth: Characteristics Of Macbeth That Led To His Downfall
.... I don't think that he would have been so bitter towards Macbeth
if he hadn't killed his wife and children. Killing Macduff's family gains
nothing for Macbeth and tries to get at Macduff indirectly. This act of
desperation and spitefulness gives a good reason to now fear Macduff.
Also, as Macbeth took the throne, he really didn't trust anyone except his
wife, Lady Macbeth. Paranoid, due to King Duncan's murder, Macbeth let's his
delusional state of mind get to him. Therefore, from his original guilt of
murder causes Macbeth to become paranoid and kill some more. Killing Macduff's
family was definitely an act of desper .....

Julius Ceaser: Character Analysis Of Marcus Brutus
.... to rise to power and then turn his back onto the people of Rome.
After the assassination of Julius Caesar, Brutus talks to Antony about Caesar's
death. "Our hearts you see not; they are pitiful; and pity to the general wrong
of Rome…"(act 3, scene 1, ll.185-186). Brutus says that Antony cannot see
their(members of the conspiracy) hearts, which are full of pity. Again, this
shows how Brutus loved Caesar but cared for the life of Rome and its people more.
This is the only reason Brutus would conspire against Caesar. For Brutus says to
himself, "I know no personal cause to spurn at him…How that might change his
nature…"(act 2, sc .....
