.... even the slightly dull-witted Polonius was suspicious. His public face is one of insanity but, in his private moments of soliloquy, through his confidences to Horatio, and in his careful plans of action, we see that his madness is assumed. After the Ghost's first appearance to Hamlet, Hamlet decides that when he finds it suitable or advantageous to him, he will put on a mask of madness. He confides to Horatio that when he finds the occasion appropriate, he will "put an antic disposition on" (I.v.173). This strategy gives Hamlet a chance to find proof of Claudius's guilt and to contemplate his revenge tactic. Although he has sworn to avenge his .....

.... of the doorkeeper. The first character of the doorkeeper that one sees is the warders. When the man goes to the “place� of law, he encounters the doorkeeper. The doorkeeper does not allow him to go inside. This reminds one of how K was treated, by the warders, when he tried to discover his charge. The act of refusing entry into the house of law, can be considered to the “incarceration� that K was put under. Although, it appeared that the greater part in impeding entry into the house of law, can be compared to the judges. When the doorkeeper says that maybe K will be allowed entry later, it reminds one of the Inspector. He attempts to ac .....

.... of tasks, have a totally different effect on the two protagonists. In The Outsider the priest changes the whole attitude that Meursault has to life, whereas in The Trial the priest tells Joseph K. how his life actually is. "Why do you refuse to see me?" This question was asked by the priest and was meant for Meursault. Normally, if a person is convicted to death, he will see a priest before the sentence is executed. Meursault did not do that. He profusely refused to see the priest and why should he? He "did not believe in god." Meursault did not care, as he did not care if his mother died, or if someone proposed marriage to him. This of course went t .....

.... through his efforts and victories on the battlefield. Macbeth shows signs of having a good heart and good intentions, but he also shows that he has a weak mind that ignores and disobeys what his good heart tells him is right.

.... as they went from one extreme to another. The old Czarist government was always out to serve the rich landowners, while treating the peasantry as second-class humans rather than equals. However, when the Russian Revolution came to a head, and the Red Communists or Bolsheviks defeated the White Czarists, Russia was left with an entirely new system of thought in its government. This ideology viewed the working class and peasantry as the main citizens in their society, while the rich landowners were not nearly as powerful as they once were. Thus the workers of Magnitogorsk held a very important position as they had the responsibility to help the Soviet .....

.... message of the play. Antonio's prejudice against Shylock almost got him killed, and Shylock's prejudice against Antonio converted him to Christianity and robbed him of all his possessions. Perhaps the play is neither pro-Jewish, nor pro-Christian, since neither the Jew or the Christian are perfect, they both have faults. After reading The Merchant of Venice and seeing how unjustly poor Shylock was treated by his Christian contemporaries, I can't help but wonder if Shakespeare was actually trying to show the world how hypocritical members of any religion could be, be it Jewish, Christian, or anything else. For, although these two disliked each .....

.... an equal role in this story. At this time, I pose the question, "what is honor ?". Honor is the feeling or expression of admiration, respect or esteem. To whom did the Executioner's honor belong? To Headquarters? To ? Well, this changed, not only in direction but also in intensity. At first, the Executioner mentioned his first experiences of killing the enemy-soldiers headquarters had handed down to him. He described them as "delicate assignments". The first time, he said he threw up. The second, he was ill for days, the third, drank a bottle of alcohol, the fourth, a few glasses of beer, the 5th he joked about it, and finally the sixth, remorse .....

.... seen in the video, the actor’s two interpretations of “To be or not to be” from the video are very different from each other. In the first rendition of “To be or not to be”, the actor speaks quieter that I would have expected. Hamlet is portrayed as being extremely serious in this version. He continues to look up in space throughout the monologue, as if he is asking a question and looking for the answer, since he is very perplexed about what he should do in order to “cleanse the state.” Hamlet is facing an internal dilemma because he has to decide whether or not he is going to kill in order to make thing .....

.... constantly. Daisy can't cover up what is behind her voice, greed. Her greeting of Gatsby after years of separation was clearly artificial and throughout the novel her constant devotion to materials is displayed, "It makes me sad because I've never seen such - such beautiful shirts before" (89). Soon, the reader comes to understand what makes Daisy's voice like this; "Her voice is full of money" (115). The truth of Gatsby's remark is immediately perceived, her voice is the key to all her magic. Daisy has an ulterior motive to just about everything she does; this motive is to gain money.
