.... of the story with information he was withholding; “For you would rouse a very stone to wrath…� (pg. 13). This impatient accusing of Teiresias proved to be bad, especially since Teiresias foretold the ending of the story. If Oedipus had been more patient and waited, he might have not been quite so upset about the future, nor shaken up about what was to happen. However, that one trait did not alone take away his position of high authority. Oedipus displayed anger throughout the whole story, which did not help him at all. During the story, we learn of Oedipus’ anger as he knocked a passerby at the meeting of the three highways; “ I being .....

.... Iago is able to swindle money and jewels from Rodriego, making himself a substantial profit, while using Rodriego to forward his other goals. He also thinks quick on his feet and is able to improvise whenever something unexpected occurs. When Cassio takes hold of Desdemona’s hand before the arrival of the Moor Othello, Iago says “With as little a web as this I will ensnare as great a fly as Cassio� (Act II, Scene I, line 163). His cunning and craftiness make him a truly dastardly villain indeed. Being as smart as he is, Iago is quick to recognize the advantages of trust and uses it as a tool to forward his purposes. Throughout the sto .....

.... antagonist, receiving fortunate outcomes. Shakespearean tragedies finish with the main conflict in favor of nobody and most of the parties acquiring an unfortunate resolution. The social implications of these plays allowed the playwright to convey a message to the peasantry in the audience on how to act. Shakespeare utilized this power and showed the lower classes what would result due to their actions. The commoners in A Midsummer Night's Dream are horrible actors that don't have a clue. The only commoner that shows any sense is Quince, who directs the whole bunch (which is probably Shakespeare blowing his own horn, as all directors believe they a .....

.... slowly drive Macbeth to the point of no control. Macbeth grows weaker from her constant put downs, and the fact he can not disobey his own wife. He is weakened by the words of Lady Macbeth, when she questions the fact of if he is a man. "Was the hope drunk/ Wherein you dressed yourself? Hath it slept since?" (1.7. 38-39) Lady Macbeth wants to know if he is a true man under his clothes. She questions him because of his unwillingness to kill Duncan. Lady Macbeth is a villain because she insults Macbeth by calling him a girl. In the next quotation Macbeth is being directed by Lady Macbeth, to be a person in which he is not. "Look like the in .....

.... watching television and no complaints have been made. No complaints about the endless information that comes from television. No complaints about the hours of entertainment that television has brought to people for years. But now people complain that we, as a people, are watching too much T.V. 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 te .....

.... him why he killed the guards, he rambled on about his anger and his rage. Lady Macbeth had to fake faint to distract their dinner guests from what Macbeth was saying. One thing that went Macbeth's way was that Malcolm and Donalbain fled because they thought that whoever killed their father would come back to kill them next. Now that Macbeth was king he felt more and more paranoid about what he had done. Macbeth hired murderers to kill Banquo and his son. The murderers killed Banquo, but his son escaped. This meant that the prophecy that Banquo's son would become king could still come true. Again Macbeth made another big mistake. At the dinne .....

.... day, art has depicted religious scenes native to a specific culture. This is where most of the cultural boundaries lie. To one person, a smiling monkey can instill a primal feeling of fear, while to another the first reaction is one of amusement. This difference in reaction is based upon religious upbringing, and nothing more. To certain culture, a smiling monkey is the scariest thing they could ever imagine, and to another, it means laughter. A close minded person viewing an ancient religious mask would see nothing more than nonsense, while one who wishes to understand art would see the beauty of that culture and it's beliefs, and would try to .....

.... flattery, among many other things as he divides his kingdom in relation to the amount of love his daughters profess to him. King Lear in his willfulness and arrogance does not see the error that he makes in equating love with reward, in this competitive environment. Cordelia is the only one of the three sisters who cannot fully participate in the competition to gain her father's inheritance by engaging in false flattery. Instead of trying to out due her sisters, she merely describes her love in relation to their filial bond. Although her father views this as a degrading insult and banishes her, it is shown that through her filial bond, she loves .....

.... live the life that was set up for him. An oracle told his real parents – Laius and Jocasta that Laius would die at the hands of his own child. Out of fear, they pinned Oedipus’ ankles and handed him to a shepherd to abandon him to death. “ Jocasta: … An oracle came to Laius � (p. 17) to “…to cast upon a deserted mountain path – die.�(p. 17). But instead of killing the infant, the shepherd gave him to another shepherd who then gave Oedipus to the King Polybus of Corinth. So this poor child survived to continue his tragic destiny. As Oedipus grows up, he becomes a self-confident, intelligent, and strong willed person. That is the .....
