Macbeth Imagery
Number of Words: 859 / Number of Pages: 4
... dark storms. Finally, Lady Macbeth and
Macbeth are talking in the scene just before the murder of Banquo and Macbeth
says "Light thickens, and the crow makes wing to the rooky wood: Good things of
day begin to droop and drowse, whiles night's black agents to their preys do
rouse" (3. 2. l50-53). This example of darkness imagery is saying that the day
is turning into night, all the good things are going to sleep, and the evil
creatures are coming out . The evil in this previous quotation and the two
before adds to the ominous atmosphere. Since the imagery creates an ominous
atmosphere it would then l ...

... needs in life is structure. Without this,
he or she cannot function in a school environment. When a bell rings, you must
go to class. When a teacher assigns homework, you do it. No questions asked. No
individual thought. The only marrow that should be sucked out of a students life
is that of education. That, after all, is why they are in school. To learn and
no other reason.
In the end, it should be noted that although Mr. Keating's teaching
philosophy was debunked, he made one good point. Neil should have spoken to his
parents. Neil's case is a perfect example of a mind not ready for independent

Macbeth: Macbeth's Personality
Number of Words: 1825 / Number of Pages: 7
... - 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. Now so ...

Macbeth: An Overview
Number of Words: 515 / Number of Pages: 2
... to be King finally overcomes the “angel.” His
mind finally warrants him the justification to kill King Duncan. He has deep
regret for what he has done shortly thereafter. The murder of the King is the
first to slowly break down his now fragile emotional state. He feels that after
murdering the King, he has given his mind and soul to those evil and demonic
forces which are the enemy of mankind.
It seems as though he is addicted to a drug; he must kill those who
oppose him or those who (he feels) will do him harm in the future, yet he does
not enjoy this. He is “hooked” on this drug and he knows it; how ...

... his
prophecy would not come true. He knew that as long as his father was still
alive and he was married to a woman not even related to his mother, he would not
bear the offspring that ³men would shudder to look upon.² It was the epitome of
irony for Oedipus to know his fate, and try to avoid it with the ³knowledge²
that he had obtained: "My father was Polybus of Corinth, my mother the Dorian
Merope, and I was held the foremost man in all that town until a thing happened-
-a thing to startle a man, though not to make him angry as it made me. We were
sitting at the table, and a man who had drunk too ...

Romeo And Juliet: Romeo
Number of Words: 332 / Number of Pages: 2
... to see Juliet.
People say many good and bad things about Romeo. For instance on
page 500, line 67, when Capulet says "Verona brags of him." When Lord
Capulet said that it shows that he is well respected by Verona and its
people. People say bad things about Romeo, when Tybalt says "It fits when
suck a villian is a guest, I'll not endure him" on page 500, line 75.
Tybalt calls him a villian because he dis-likes Romeo and wants to kill him
because he came un-invited to the Capulets party.
Romeo does many things throughout the play that will make him look
bad, but he also does many good ...

Number of Words: 632 / Number of Pages: 3
... character in the play
who believes that evil is caused by humans and not the gods. Edgar said,
"The gods are just, and of our peasant vices make instruments to plague us"
(ACT V, iii, 169). Edgar clearly says that the gods are right and it is
the people who are responsible for promoting evil in the world. It is us
who make the instruments necessary for evil to spread and plague the world.
In the world of King Lear many characters believe evil was caused by the
people and not by the gods.
Even though evil was created by humans good will always exist. After
King Lear was captured he showed that e ...

their friendship, which pro bably dwindled down from an occasional phone
call to a seasonal letter or card, and eventually to virtual non-
communication.
The title could even have yet another "hidden" meaning. It could
refer to the group's total loss of communication with Alex. This could
have led to the point where nobody was able to see anything wrong with him,
because they just were not a round to. Chloe, Alex's girl friend, probably
did not notice because she did not know him as well as the rest of the
group. But the rest of the group unintentionally gave Alex "the cold
shoulder" wh ...

The Instigator
Number of Words: 830 / Number of Pages: 4
... Benvolio and Mercutio, of the Montague household.
Being a peaceful man, Benvolio talks of peace, trying to stay away from any
further clashes. Nevertheless, at the sound of the word “peace” Tybalt
illustrates his animosity toward the Montagues, as he repulsively responds,
“I hate the word / As I hate hell, all Montagues, and thee” (1.1.68-69).
This remark was sparked after a short confrontation, which was stopped by
citizens and peace officers. Later in the story, Mercutio describes Tybalt
to Benvolio, “O, he is / the courageous caption of compliments. He fights
as / you sing prick-song; keeps time, ...
