... rejected him just one day before. However, he too sees the difference in Romeo's depth of emotion and in light of that, and the possible political benefits (namely peace between the feuding families) he encourages the match.

Romeo And Juliet: They Did It To Themselves
Number of Words: 736 / Number of Pages: 3
... How could they love each other when
in fact they have just met hours earlier? They are children who have crushes and
plenty of melodrama to enhance it.
Romeo demonstrates his immaturity again when he slays the Capulet, Tybalt.
Being an idealist, he does not think about the consequences of his actions. He
knows that Tybalt is Juliet's cousin, and that injuring him would wreck any
chance of them getting together legitimately, yet he does it anyway. Instead of
pausing a moment and thinking about the situation in an adult manner, Romeo
allows "fire[ey'd] fury be [his] conduct…" and instantly kills T ...

Oedipus: Fates
Number of Words: 1421 / Number of Pages: 6
... to divine
mandate is blasphemous and considered sin. This ideal itself, and the whole
concept 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 ...

Romeo And Juliet: The Betrayal Of The Adults To Juliet
Number of Words: 630 / Number of Pages: 3
... be married to her grave." (III, v, 145)
Juliet's parents betray Juliet by not supporting Juliet's pleas for the
marriage to be delayed a year. Capulet and Lady Capulet do not know Juliet
is married to Romeo, a fact that may have, yet not likely altered these
circumstances. Her parent's betrayal causes Juliet to look for comfort from
the Nurse.
The Nurse also fails to support Juliet's choice against marrying
Paris. Instead of supporting Juliet the Nurse instead believes "I think it
is best you marry the county...For it excels your first (marriage)." (III,
v, 230, 236) Juliet feels betrayed by this ...

Hamlet: Death
Number of Words: 901 / Number of Pages: 4
... shows how Polonius, a man unaware of the true nature of the situation he is in, is killed by a member of the royalty during the execution of one of their schemes. This makes Polonius’ death a tragedy.
The next member of Polonius’ family to die is his daughter Ophelia. Ophelia’s death is tragic because of her complete innocence in the situation. Some may argue that Polonius deserves his fate because of his deceitfulness in dealing with Hamlet while he is mad, but Ophelia is entirely manipulated and used by Hamlet and the king for their own selfish reasons. An example of how Ophelia is used by Hamlet t ...

... becomes more
upset that Tybalt is triumphant with Mercutio being dead (III, I, 121).
As Romeo becomes overwhelmed with Mercutio's death and Tybalt's joy over
it, he suddenly declares that either he or Tybalt must die with Mercutio
(III, I, 128). Tybalt responds predictably and threatens Romeo (III, I,
129). Romeo takes the threat, then fights Tybalt until Tybalt is finally
killed. When Tybalt dies, Romeo suddenly comes to grips with what he has
done, and, unable to believe that he did this of his own will, cries out
that he is fortune's fool (III, I, 135).
While many people may say that Romeo' ...

Rodin's "The Kiss"
Number of Words: 1487 / Number of Pages: 6
... Bronze is stronger than brass or copper and is commonly composed of 90% copper, 5% tin, and 5%zinc. These percentages can be altered to suit desired characteristics. Bronze has a tensile strength anywhere between 30,000-40,000 lbs./square inch. This high tensile strength makes sculpting easier. (Kazanas p.15)
Since bronze is an alloy, we do not know the exact composition of the bronze used in “The Kiss” first hand. We can discover what metals actually comprise this bronze and their percentages through X-ray fluorescence. For instance, some bronzes contain nickel and some contain aluminum while oth ...

Macbeth Was Not Totally Responsible For The Evil Unleashed In Scotland
Number of Words: 372 / Number of Pages: 2
... Macbeth was so
upset after killing Duncan he stated " I'll go no more,
I am afraid to think what I have done". Lady Macbeth then accepted the
responsibility of taking the daggers and smearing the grooms with blood. She had
goaded Macbeth into killing Duncan and she stopped him from falling apart with
remorse after having done the deed.
Macbeths reign as king was one of fear and insecurity that others would take the
crown from him. Of Banquo he said " their is none but he whose being I do fear".
Macbeth was obviously thinking back to the prophesies of the witches and he
resolved to kill Banquo. ...
