... " If chance will have me king, why, chance may crown me Without my stir." 2(Macbeth 1.4.157-159) which means that maybe he does not have to murder the king to gain that title. Luck has been very generous to him and might continue and make him king. Macbeth's true evil thoughts about being king are first shown when he finds out that king Duncan has named his son Malcolm as Prince of Cumberland. He now shows his evil and his true feelings. " Stars, hide your fires; Let not night see my black and deep desires. The eye wink at the hand; yet let that be Which the eye fears, when it is done, to see." 3 (M ...

... sums of money for each visit to the theater is tough to keep up. The audience expects an extra special performance each and every visit. I want to feel good as I leave. This satisfies my willingness to put out a large expence for this type of entertainment. When I left "Sleepless in Seattle", I was in heaven. I had the feeling I wanted. They movie brought me that "believer" feeling. I feel that the purpose of this movie was to show the audience that fate is alive and well. I was shown that there is someone out there for each and every one of us. I went to the movies with family. This was important. I saw that I had nobody to lean on-but family. This upset me. Th ...

... sentiments. Caesar put the two men “to silence” or to death. This showed how he did not tolerate any nonsense. He did not like opposition or anyone questioning him, even though Flavius and Marullus had a right to express their beliefs. Caesar also presents his despotic attitude, when Metellus Cimber begs him to reverse his brother’s banishment. Caesar selfishly replied that this request “might fire the blood of ordinary men…know, Caesar doth not wrong…”. He refers to himself in the third person, and considered his status to be next to the gods. He believed he was never wrong and his judgment was always correct. Antony loved Caesar dearly. When Caesar ...

... my heart love till now? Forswear it, sight, / For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night."(Act 1 Sc. 5 Ln. 59-60) Romeo easily becomes infatuated with girls. "With Rosaline, my ghostly Father? No. / I have forgot that name and that name's woe." (Act 2 Sc. 3 Ln. 48-49) Romeo easily forgets about the girl he was so sad about and Juliet replaces his memory of her with happy ones. "O, I am Fortune's fool!" (Act 3 Sc. 1 Ln. 142) He felt that fate liked to play around with him. I think Romeo was thinking about why all this death and fighting was happening around him throughout most of the book. He was contemplating love and hate basically. Juliet never l ...

... he is a womanizer and he has never before experienced "true love." The next definition of love comes from Romeo, but before the time he met Juliet. According to his definition, love (or, rather, not returned love) is pain. He h ides from the sun due to the "love" he feels, and does not act like "himself." I believe Romeo is both right and wrong: not returned love is pain, but Romeo doe s not truly love, as he is merely infatuated by a woman. The next definition of love comes from Juliet, who, before meeting Romeo, did no t even have a definition of love. She appears not to know what love is, and, for that matter, does not seem to care. She remains ignorant until she ...

... he was able to pursue his musical studies. He eventually became a popular musician and teacher in the Emperor's court. When he heard Mozart was coming to Vienna from Salzburg, he eagerly sought him out. He finally found him at a party, way from the other guests, acting like a silly animal, chasing a young woman. However, as soon as he heard his music starting without him, he changed into a serious musician, rushing to take his place as conductor. Salieri noticed that Mozart conducted without notes. Although he recognized that Mozart was a ‘giggling, dirty-minded creature', he was also able to see the genius in him. He couldn't understand why God had chosen a ‘ob ...

... me, you've only found it pleasant to be in love with me." I a lso think that Nora perfectly describes what her marriage actually is toward the end of the play, when she tells Torvald, "…our home has been nothing but a play- room. I've been your doll-wife here, just as at home I was Papa's doll- child. And the children have been my dolls in their turn. I liked it when you came and played with me, just as they liked it when I came and played with them. That's what our marriage has been Torvald." I think that it is at this point that Nora's world transforms from a "doll's house" into reality. After having finished this play, I think that Ibsen had chosen the p ...

... several points about the nature of evil. One point it makes is that evil is not normal in human nature. Macbeth and Lady Macbeth have to sort of "trick" themselves into murdering Duncan. First, Lady Macbeth has to beg evil spirits to tear all human feeling from her ("...spirits / That tend on mortal thoughts..." [Act I, Scene V, Lines 41-42] "Stop up th' accessand passage to remorse / That no compunctious visitings of nature / Shake my fell purpose..."[Act I, Scene V, Lines 45-47]) and then she has to make Macbeth ignore his own conscience ("Yet do I fear thy nature; It is too full o' th' milk of human kindness To catch the nearest way" [Act I, Scene V, Lines 17- ...
