... to be murdered and his mother
to be married so soon after his father's death to his uncle. This shows us
that he is pitying himself and is putting himself down. Yet another example
of his emotions running wild are seen in his first soliloquy:
...She married. O, most wicked speed, to post with such
dexterity to incestuous sheets! It is not, nor it cannot come to
good. But break my heart, for I must hold my tongue! 3
He is telling us that his mother has married right away and did not mourn

Macbeth: Banquo's Soliloquy
Number of Words: 397 / Number of Pages: 2
... to come true for
him also and make him the king and the beginning of a long line 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 t ...

... that the daughter which had loved him the most (and who
he loved the most) has broken his heart. He is suspicious and bans her because
he thinks that she is the only daughter who doesn't love him. It is Lear's
rashness which prevents him from seeing that she is speaking the truth. It is
the same rashness which leads him to believe that Goneril and Regan are being
truthful. Kent believes that Lear is wrong and openly tells him so. He says in
a straightforward manner that he is both mad and an old man . Kent believes
that Lear's decision was a "hideous rashness." He continues to speak, even a ...

The Night: Living By Conformity
Number of Words: 920 / Number of Pages: 4
... as for America's society today; it seems that he cannot make time. All we think about now is when our needs will be served and when we will receive them, in other words, impatience! We must learn to accept the values of waiting and see all optimistic outlooks of the world. As humans, we are given freedom, so we should use the free will given to accept all values that should be appreciated on this earth, instead of laying everything off. The longer we influence ourselves that earth will take care of us, and lose patience while doing so, we will deteriorate. It is our jobs as humans to take care o ...

Macbeth: Macbeth's Conduct And Personality
Number of Words: 1826 / Number of Pages: 7
... 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. Now ...

The Dead: Summary
Number of Words: 1345 / Number of Pages: 5
... drunk, Freddy Mallins. As one guest after another arrive James Joyce’s prose is eloquently translated into dialogue by director, Hutson and thus, Actresses Cathleen Delany (Aunt Julia) and Helena Carroll (Aunt Kate) create an element of suspense more so than in the words of Joyce. Upon his long awaited arrival, Gabriel’s greeting and idle chitchat is identical to that of the text.
Joyce describes in depth the thoughts and feelings of Gabriel throughout the story, only it is more difficult to do so in film. In attempt to compensate for this loss, Huston added text to his script. For example, Gabri ...

MAD Magazine: Its Success
Number of Words: 332 / Number of Pages: 2
... tradition. As is true with most MAD readers of my
generation, My first encounter with the magazine was when I was a kid, going
through some old things of my father's in the attic. I came across an old issue
of MAD and became interested in it although I only understood a few of the
satires that it contained. It is a fact that most young people who read the
magazine have parents who have read or still read it.
The final factor is that MAD often contains lurid subject matter, which
attracts a lot of younger readers. This would attribute to it's current success,
along with a television show that was cre ...

... acting mad. I think that this interpretation is the
best one because it reflects my view of this scene as well as what I think
Shakespeare's intentions were.
Another version was the with Lawrence Olivier. Compared with the other
two, this version didn't quite seem as realistic. When Hamlet enters them room,
it seems like he already knows what's going on, and that Polonius and the King
are in the room. You can tell that he thinks something's up when glances over
at the hanging tapestries before he talks with Ophelia. They don't seem as if
they are, or ever were in love. They don't have any chem ...
