.... (III, v, 203-204) His wife, upon hearing Juliet's decision against marrying to Paris, refuses to give Juliet counsel. "Talk not to me, for I'll not speak a word./Do as thou wilt for I have done with thee." (III, v, 214-215) Lady Capulet is angered by Juliet's choice and wishes "I would the fool 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 Nurs .....

.... and everyone did as the old man said. When the old salesman, Dave Singleman dies, all the buyers came to his funeral. All the people Dave ever knew came. There were thousands mourning his death. From that point, Willy Loman found an awesome dream which he followed the rest of his life. Willy became a salesman. Willy is the most unqualified salesman ever! He never sold a thing. Willy stops seeing the truth at one point of his life and he relies on his own lies to numb his pain. The pain of knowing he cannot and wont be able to become Dave Singleman. He is Willy Loman, who is good at fixing the house. He is not cut out for travelling from .....

.... in Act1, scene2. He is brave Macbeth who has ripped Macdonwald open from navel to jaw. From this early indication we can see that Macbeth is a fierce and bloody man at this point his speech gives the impression of Macbeth as a hero but it foretells of decent of Macbeth from hero to butcher. Macbeth can only be brave when he knows what he is doing and feels justified in doing it. He feels like this at the beginning of the play when he is prey to doubts and fears. We first see Macbeth afraid when he thinks of murdering Duncan it makes his hair stand on end and his heart pound. In Act2, scene 1 when Macbeth makes his “Is this a dagger…� speech .....

.... by those they bring down with them in their tragic fall. One of the most disturbing images in the play comes in act 3, scene 4 line 168 and is of Macbeth describing himself wading in a river of blood. When Macbeth says “I am in blood/ Stepped in so far that, should I wade no more, / Returning were as tedious as go o'er:� the extent of his guilt and mental deterioration becomes obvious. Macbeth tries to justify his evil by using the rationale that it is just as easy to continue the killing as it is to stop it. Macbeth seems to be fascinated with blood. In act 3, scene 4 the word blood is used 4 times in 6 lines (151-157). Although the blood image .....

.... Laurence clearly states this to Romeo: "Is Rosaline, whom thou didst love so dear, so soon forsaken? Young men's love then lies not truly in their hearts, but in their eyes". This is exactly how Romeo behaves. Juliet on the other hand had to marry Count Paris so her love with Romeo is simply a way to get out of it. She never had a relationship with a man and she didn't like to have her first and only relationship with a man her parents arranged for her. She wanted freedom and Romeo was her ticket to it. During the story Romeo and Juliet convince them selves to be in love with each other and they become obsessed, not with the love for each ot .....

.... an island, already inhabited. Prospero is depicted as a worthy man, who was usurped from his throne. The reader has automatic sympathy for the character. This allows him more leeway for wrong doing by creating room for it within the reader's mind. Prospero came to the island with his daughter to find it already inhabited by two savages. Upon arrival, Prospero brought his “new� ideas with him, and began to force them upon these two savages, Sycorax and Caliban. He believed that his new ideas were better, such as slavery opposed to freedom, which he imposed on Caliban. “Dull thing, I say so; he, that Caliban, Whom .....

.... after just the first few scenes. Macbeth's drive of greed is evident after his encounter with the three witches; after which he tells Banquo that he is eager to learn more about his future as king. Shylock's greed is revealed when we learn that unlike Bassanio, Shylock charges interest on all his loans, and that he is quite ruthless in getting payments for money owed. "Three thousand ducats. 'Tis a good round sum./ Tree months from twelve, then let me see, the /rate--" (1.3.112-114). Upon this Bassanio asks Shylock if he will really owe him any interest; Shylock reacts as almost offended, and further explains that Bassanio will indeed owe .....

.... and because of this, in a sense, wishes to shed her womanhood. We can see this ruthless nature more in depth in the quote “I would, while it was smiling in my face,/ Have pluck'd my nipple from his boneless gums,/ and dash'd the brains out, had I so sworn as you/ Have done to this� (I,vii,56-59) She is obviously a very bitter female, frequently referring to her role as a woman, both physically and emotionally in negative ways. In the above quote, Lady Macbeth is commenting on her husband's lack of gall, stating, that quite frankly, she would make a better man than he. Although still a very strong woman, we see the first signs of .....

.... the noble birth of a character. In the play Romeo and Juliet Romeo being the tragic hero, possesses that quality. Romeo is a Montague, and in the city of Verona the Montagues are a well known and respected family. It is a known fact that the Montagues are of noble birth when it is said by Benvolio in Act 1, Scene 1, Line 141: "My noble uncle." Benvolio is referring to Lord Montague, who is the father of Romeo. The Montagues are also a rich family, and that is one of the reasons for the respect for Romeo. "Verona brags of him... a bears him like a partly gentleman." This was said by Lord Capulet in Act 1, Scene 5, Lines 65-66. This quote illustr .....

.... (s. I, ll. 46-47). After Creon expresses his and all men’s call to patriotism, Choragus agrees by saying: “If that is your will, … You have the right to enforce it: we are yours� (s. I, ll. 48-49). Clearly, Creon’s people obey his every word and show him all possible respect. Creon serves in the highest position in Thebes and, at first, seems ennobled by his title. Of course, conflict, both internal and external, are not strangers to men of high rank. Creon is embroiled in a difficult external struggle with his beloved son. When Haemon is first seen talking with his father, King Creon, they are arguing about Haemon’s desire t .....
