Measure For Measure - Critique
Words: 447 / Pages: 2 .... at a a festival as prestigious
as North America's largest and arguably best Shakespearian festival. The
play carries on for almost 3 hours, and is tempered with boredom (e.g.
Isabella's laughably unimpassioned speech to Angelo), and momentary spots
of humour (e.g. the some-times hilarious exchange between Lucio, a servant
to the Duke, and the Duke disguised as a friar. This moment of ironic
comedy is certainly one of the play's highlights, and is a model for many
modern humour pieces) which all serve to create a less than enthralling
afternoon of "not so high" drama. I will not attempt to explain the plot,
as one of the play's redeeming factors is the .....

A Midsummer Night's Dream: Love
Words: 782 / Pages: 3 .... I, Line 41-5). This shows his jealous rage as what one would do for someone’s love. At first, Helena is jealous of Hermia because Demetrius is in love with Hermia and not her. Demetrius stole Helena’s heart, and now is after Hermia. Helena wants to be like Hermia because then Dimities would like her. “Sickness is catching: O were favour so, Yours would I catch, Fair Hermia, ere I go, My ear should catch your voice, my eye your eye, My tongue should catch your tongue’s sweet melody.” (Act I, Scene I, Line 184-6).

The Crucible: Hysteria And Injustice
Words: 1630 / Pages: 6 .... fight the accusations made
against them by those following Abigail. Those following Abigail are considered
to be holy men that are full of honesty and justice, but the play shows that
even those who are thought to be respectable and right, like people of
government or community leaders can bring death to innocent people if they are
driven by something wrong.
II. Plot:
The plot begins with the inciting incident where Rev. Parris finds his
niece Abigail Williams and his daughter Betty along with his slave Tituba doing
some dance in the forest. Right when he finds them, Betty becomes sick and
won't talk or open her eyes, about this time other peopl .....

Macbeth: A Shakespearean Tragic Hero
Words: 885 / Pages: 4 .... is represented as a man of exceptional fighting and honor but not with out fault. The Sergeant represents Macbeth very well towards King Duncan, when he says, “For brave Macbeth – well he deserves that name disdaining fortune, with his brandished steel, which smoked with bloody execution…”(Act I, Scene II, Line 15-16). The Sergeant spoke very highly of Macbeth, and his actions in this war show his loyalty towards Duncan in that he would fight for his King. As the play continued Macbeth’s flaw becomes even more visible. His ambition for power would not go unnoticed. The author first gives a hint at the character’s ambition .....

Macbeth: A Man Of Established Character
Words: 1827 / Pages: 7 .... Duncan's service is magnificent and
courageous, and his evident joy in it is traceable in art to the natural
pleasure which accompanies the explosive expenditure of prodigious physical
energy and the euphoria which follows. He also rejoices no doubt in the success
which crowns his efforts in 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 de .....

King Lear: Main Issues
Words: 662 / Pages: 3 .... are also portrayed in the opening scene. As Kent tries to advise Lear of his initial mistake, Lear denies the fault and tells Kent "out of my sight", which itself is a contradiction, as Lear does not have any 'sight' to see Kent's view and to understand the true extent of his decision to divide the kingdom. In the same scene, Lear also show the audience his failure to be a father, by using irrelevant judgements to divide land. "Which of you shall say doth love us most?" Lear asks his three daughters. To please Lear, Gonerill and Regan speak words of flattery and Cordelia, so 'true', says "I love you according to my bond." To hear this, Lea .....

A Doll's House: A Push To Freedom
Words: 1392 / Pages: 6 .... is concealed by the way they both hide their true selves from
society, each other, and ultimately themselves. Just like Nora and Torvald,
every character in this play is trapped in a situation of unturth. In "Ghosts",
the play Ibsen wrote directly after "A Doll's House", the same conflict is the
basis of the play. Because Mrs. Alving concedes to her minister's ethical
bombardment about her responsibilities in marriage, she is forced to conceal the
truth about her late husband's behavior ( ). Like "A Doll's House", "Ghosts"
can be misinterpreted as simply an attack on the religious values of Ibsen's
society. While this is certainly an impor .....

Words: 476 / Pages: 2 .... gets out of life exactly what he put into it; murder and death.
