- 572: Imagery In Macbeth
- Imagery in Macbeth William Shakespeare’s play, (if indeed he did write it) Macbeth is rife with killing, and is probably only second in bloodiness to his earlier play, Titus Andronicus. Not only is blood ... also an example of imagery, representing several different symbols throughout the play. In the beginning, blood represents honor. Later, blood seems to show treachery. A the end of the play Shakespeare uses blood to show Macbeth’s guilt for all his evil and greedy acts. The first reference of blood occurs when Duncan sees the injured sergeant and says, "What bloody ... emotions: blood has symbolized ideas from honor to treachery, and then guilt. It is very fitting that blood is a dominant symbol in this play, for this is one of Shakespeare’s darkest and most violent.
- 573: Midsummer Nights Dream Charact
- The story of A Midsummer Night's Dream was that of love. Throughout the play, Shakespeare tried to show that love is unpredictable, unreasonable, and at times is blind. The primary focus in this play was love and its relation to marriage. Shakespeare carefully and skillfully used the presence of a wedding to add to the dramatic action of the play. After all, a wedding was the culmination of lover's vows and ... the commencement of their marriage. The theme of love was repeatedly used during the play and practically everything that was said and done was related to this concept of love. Shakespeare made all of the different characters intermingle and intertwine causing their lives to crisscross, circle, and even parallel each other's. This was an ingenious display of character manipulation. ...

- 575: Hamlet 3
- Hamlet The work that I wish to discuss is Tom Stoppard's play "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead" as a scholarly work in regards to William Shakespeare's Hamlet, which is included in Sven Birket's Literature: The Evolving Canon. I believe that the most important issues in the play are the "psychological issues" involved. How do two relatively unimportant characters in Shakespeare's play interpret what is going on around them? What is the audience's response? What role do the Players hold in each of the two works? As an authority ... of isolation, sanity, depression, and luck that are not necessarily supposed to be related to Hamlet. I think that looking deeply into Stoppard's work will reveal many ideas about Shakespeare as well as valuable insights to the changing of the literary times. I think that Tom Stoppard intentionally related the characters of Hamlet and of Rosencrantz between the two ...
- 576: A Midsummer Night's Dream: Resolution
- A Midsummer Night's Dream: Resolution In Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, the conflict is based upon pure confusion. The main characters are involved in a mix-up of epic proportions. The story begins with Demetrius ... hope of success and Lysander is trapped in the daze of love for a woman that is not his true love. It is with this feeling of utter helplessness that Shakespeare ends act II. Although this is one of Shakespeare's comedies, an interesting way to resolve the story would be to take the traditional tragic approach: everyone dies. Hermia, caught between her father's wish that she marry ...
- 577: Macbeth 6
- Macbeth An individual that is evil is characterized as being a person who has a malicious disposition and thoughts. The power of evil is strongly evident throughout William Shakespeare's Macbeth. It is established through Macbeth's desires to kill Duncan, Macbeth's intentions to kill Banquo and Lady Macbeth's influences to persuade Macbeth to kill Duncan. An ... Duncan are all evil. These three factors affected the power of evil in Macbeth causing it to grow. Explaining these examples, the power of evil is strongly evident throughout William Shakespeare's Macbeth. Evil is a characteristic that some people have, or attain throughout living their life. Not everyone has this quality, and at the same time, no one should want this quality. Using Shakespeare's Macbeth as an example, evil never succeeds, good always conquers.
- 578: Analysis of Witches in Macbeth
- Analysis of Witches in Macbeth In the play Macbeth by Shakespeare the three female witches play an important part in the development of the story. This essay will analyze the dramatic function of the witches in Act I of Macbeth. I think that the reason that Shakespeare begins the play with the witches is to gives us the impression that everything starts with the witches, that is they are the catalysts for everything that happens in the ... to the play Macbeth, and without them the plot of the play might be totally different, Macbeth might not kill Duncan and so on. But we will never now because Shakespeare did not make two versions of his classic play.
- 579: A Midsummer Nights Dream For T
- William Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream" examines the topic of love. In the first act, a character by the name of Helena expresses her view of love. She is in ... Demetrius even though he uncontrollably spurns her advances. "Love can transpose to form and dignity," she eloquently remarks. These characteristics of love are demonstrated by the characters throughout the play. Shakespeare uses great symbolism in portraying the blindness of love. When Puck and Oberon apply the juice of the pansy to the eyes of the Athenians and to the eyes of ... it is as if she sees him, but does not care what he looks like. Now that she is released from the spell, she wants no part of Nick Bottom. Shakespeare uses this to express that true, unadulterated love is from the inside and is not based on outward appearance. Helena's soliloquy in act one is foreshadowing of the ...
