Hamlet: The Theme Of Having A Clear Conscience
Number of Words: 727 / Number of Pages: 3
... "O, most wicked speed, to post, with such dexterity to incestuous
sheets. . . but break my heart, for I must hold my tounge." (I, ii, 156-159).
Hamlet's conscience tells him what is wrong-in this case, the hasty marriage-but
he is ambivalent as to how to approach it; before he meets the ghost, silence is
his method. When Hamlet meets his father's ghost however, he feels sure of
himself, and knows what he must do. As a result of the dialogue with the ghost,

the problems that face him.
The consciences of Hamlet, and to ...

... proceed as it does if the guards heard what the ghost told Hamlet. It is the ghost of Hamlet's father who tells him, "but howsomever thou pursues this act, / Taint not thy mind. (Act 1, Scene 5, 84-5)" Later, when Hamlet sees the ghost again in his mothers room, her amazement at his madness is very convincing. But you must take into consideration the careful planning of the ghost's credibility earlier in the play.
After his first meeting with the ghost, Hamlet greets his friends cheerfully and acts as if the news is good rather than the bad news it really is. This is the first glimpse of Hamlet's a ...

... married before the young one. Finally, Petruchio
came along to court Kate, saying he wanted to marry wealthily in Padua. It
appeared, though, as if Petruchio was the kind of man who needed an opposition
in life. The shrewish Kate, who was known to have a sharp tongue, very
adequately filled his need for another powerful character in a relationship
(Kahn 419). When Petruchio began to woo Kate, everybody was rather surprised,
but Signior Baptista agreed when Petruchio wanted marry her on Saturday of the
week he met her. Clearly, he was not opposed because he wanted to hurry and get
Kate married so s ...

... gender role. Her " obdurate strength of will and masculine firmness give her ascendancy over her husband's faltering virtue".3 She was considered great because once she had it in her mind what she wanted her unflinching determination in getting it was superior to all others. "The magnitude of her resolution almost covers the magnitude of her guilt"4
At first Lady Macbeth would seem to hold a resemblance to the witches in her personality. Both pushed Macbeth to become a murderer and both had completely deserted any feminism in their roles, however upon closer examination you'll notice there is ...

The National Endowment For The Arts

... but also the whole nation, those opposers might change their mind in support of the arts program.
One of the biggest arguments against federal funding for the arts is that it costs too much money and that the government is already in debt too severely to provide for something as unnecessary as art. True, the government is extremely in debt, but what most people don’t know is that the NEA actually helps the economy, rather than hurt it. First of all, the amount of money spent by the government is actually relatively insignificant to its total expenditures. Cultural funding is less than one one- ...

Number of Words: 725 / Number of Pages: 3
... be revenge. This is not
a thought of an insane person. An insane person would have completed the murder
at this opportunity. In Act III, scene I, line 55, “To be or not to be...”,
Hamlet displays his indecisiveness by thinking about suicide because of the
situation he is in. He would rather be dead than live with the thought of his
father's death going unavenged. He is scared to get revenge because he found
out from a ghost and he doesn't know what to do. In line 83,” Thus conscience

so long to commit the murder. ...

... reality. Quickly a cartoon
about a man hunting a rabbit can turn into a story of murder. Another cartoon
character that may harm children is Yosimite Sam. When he becomes angry, he
begins to fire his pair of guns into the air and at other characters. This
could cause children to act violently to appease their anger. This includes
hitting and throwing things. This is an extreme view of the situation, but who
is to say that at least part of it is not true?
Children see violence everyday in their cartoons, but what about shows
that they watch in which people star. These shows will more than li ...

... battle - and so on. He
may even conceived of the proper motive which should energize back 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. N ...

The Use Of “Nature” In Shakespeare’s Macbeth
Number of Words: 1009 / Number of Pages: 4
... from the ancient fear of Nature’s encompassing power. The way each character addresses the word “Nature” reveals that character’s assumed personality. A character who is cruel and traitorous might speak against Nature and leave himself unguarded against Nature’s punishment.

She must possess every feminine quality in addition to the masculine characters of strength and courage.
