... of touch with reality as was Ophelia, but a man driven crazy by thought. Hamlet's behavior throughout the play, especially towards Ophelia is inconsistent. He jumps into Ophelia's grave, and fights with Laertes in her grave. He professes "I loved Ophelia. Forty thousand brothers/Could not, with all their quantity of love,/ Make up my sum" [HV, I,250-253], during the fight with Laertes in Ophelia's grave, but he tells her that he never loved her, when she returns his letters and gifts, while she was still alive. Hamlet subtly hints his awareness of his dissolving sanity as he tells Laertes that he killed Polonius in a fit of madness [HV, II, 236-250] Once Ophelia meets Hamlet and spe ...

... was the King of England, and was murdered by MacBeth. He was murdered, because in order for MacBeth to fulfill his plan and become king, Duncan would have to die. Duncan's fatal flaw was that he was too trusting. For example, he thought that none of his friends could really be enemies. If Duncan was more careful about his safety at MacBeth's castle, he may have had a chance to survive. But Duncan's flaw, wasn't something so horrible that he should die. Most people need to trust each other more, and just because one person did, he shouldn't have to die. MacBeth's former best friend, Banquo was also killed by MacBeth. Banquo was killed, because he knew too much about the murder of Duncan. ...

... “ but young in deed.” Many innocent people have died, and Macbeth still thinks he needs to do more. The ultimate injustice that he commits is the murder of Lady Macduff and her young son. There was no motive, and their deaths did not advance his position in any way. Furthermore, he reveals that “ the very firstlings of my heart shall be the firstlings of my hand.” From now on, he has vowed to act simply on impulse without even thinking over his next action. Before Duncan’s murder, Lady Macbeth seems to be the stronger one in her marriage. However, this view is incorrect. She is pushing for Duncan’s murder, but she can not commit the murder because he “ resembled my father as he slept. ...

... Any person can buy a cheap pistol and kill someone. It is also easier to kill without being caught. There are long range rifles and remote control explosives that can be used as the murder weapon while the actual perpetrator is far away. Also, it is easier than ever to find a professional assassin who will kill anyone for the right amount of money. These latter methods could allow a person to commit murder and easily get away with it. Even though the actual murderer may be caught, the person financing the operation could get away untouched. In Macbeth, Duncan was well protected by his guards. However, he was still murdered. The guards were overcome through a simple trick. "The ...

... her way. When Juliet says to Friar Lawrence “Go get thee hence, for I wilt not away....”(V.iii.160) Juliet is telling Friar that you can leave Romeo since he is dead but I will not because I love him. Her Juliet shows courage because she decides to stay with Romeo knowing that there is allot at risk is anyone finds her. Juliet showed many acts of heroism in the play. In order to stay married with Romeo, Juliet takes a potion that makes her seem dead for two days . Not knowing if she was going to wake up, Juliet took the chance so that her and Romeo could possibly be reunited. She did in fact wake up seconds too late just in time to see Romeo drinking the poison. Without thinking twice s ...

... his purpose clearly. As Polonius puts it so perfectly: "And thus do we of wisdom and of reach / By indirections find directions out" Act 2, Scene 2, Lines 71-3 The many falsehoods and deceptions uttered in Hamlet are expressed through eloquent, formal, poetic language (iambic pentameter), tantamount to an art form. If deceit is a painted, ornate subject then, its foil of truth is simple and unvarnished. Accordingly, when the pretenses of illusion are discarded in Act 2, Scene 2, the language is written in direct prose. Addressing Rosenkrantz and Guildenstern, Hamlet pleads with them to deliver up honest speech about the intent of their arrival: "[offer up] Anything but to th' purp ...

... after his father died his mother remarried his uncle. As a result Hamlet's mother was actually married to her dead husbands brother, which was conceded incest. "[O God! A beast hat wants discourse of reason would have mourned longer] (1.2.156-157). This quote vividly expresses how Hamlet feels about the quick remarriage of his mother. By the use of animal imagery the reader can see the hate towards the marriage. The reader can also see how Hamlet feels about how quick his mother remarried by the use of the phrase "mourned longer." Another quote to support this idea is "...she married" (1.2.163). By the character Hamlet saying this vividly expresses his disbelief that his mother ...

... hands and knees taking there chances. They went for the tunnel and even the coyote said, "it is living hell". During there tunnel journey, they encountered rats and they were getting eaten alive. Finally they were gone and they were able to continue and they found their coyote at the end. He got them hooked up at a motel to stay. Day 1 they try to find work, and people pick them up to put them to work and give them two dollars a week and they think it is a whole a lot, but it really isn't. Enqrue and Rosa said "that everyone said how much more money u get in the United States but they didn't say how much everything costs" I think this quote is a good point. At the end Enqrue sister ...

... They would have you believe that we could be doing better things with our lives. They would have you believe that we can make more out of ourselves. But what do they know? Have they ever done any research to prove their theories? No, they haven't. But the people behind such propaganda as National T.V-Turnoff Week really do believe that not watching television can enhance your life, so let us examine their reasoning. Linda Weltner suggests that instead of watching television one can take up a craft such a knitting. Sure knitting is a good hobby. Entertaining, enjoyable, it might even relieve stress. But when it comes down to it what do you really get out of knitting that you would ...

... that will shudder you... And you know I can do it... I can make you wish you had never seen the sun go down.” She fell in love with John Proctor after their affair, her morals and her whole life began to fall apart. She started to be overcome with her feelings of love, and her passion for John was enormous. After she was denied these things she could no longer control herself, and her whole reason for living became to get back John. This shows that when a person is given something, which they enjoy, and even love, and they are denied it, they feel distraught and they will many times do almost anything to get it back. She was very desperate and she felt willing to do anything ...
