... act outside of character and in an extremely peculiar fashion. Hamlet is an instrument of his father, his own self, and of sanity. The appearances of the Ghost, although sporadic, do not come without meaning. Hamlet Senior, arguably, is one of Shakespeare's finest creations. The character was molded using the Elizabethan view on death and apparitions. Such belief stated hauntings had a communication value that was used to seek resolve in unfinished business. The basis for Hamlet Senior's untimely visits should be sought. "Revenge his foul and most unnatural murder." (Shakespeare, William. Hamlet. United kingdom: Longman Group UK Limited, 1995.

... him, this shows that Oliver is too much of a coward to do it himself. Another thought that comes to mind is that it is possible that Oliver knows that having his brother killled is unethical and wrong. Deep down I think that Oliver has a decent heart and is aware that he should not let his envy get the best of him. The reader may wonder why Oliver would be jealous of Orlando. Orlando is popular and strong, and smart. Oliver is unhappy and therefore cruel. In a monologue that Oliver addresses to the audience he says, "Yet he's gentle, never / schooled and yet learned, full of noble device, of all / sorts enchantingly beloved, and indeed so much in / the heart ...

... because, as I will mention later, his mother is at the center of it. He has to try to find meaning, direction and a stable identity in the midst of all the evil about him (Lidz, 73). We clearly see that Hamlet is quite upset by his mother's quite hasty marriage to is uncle, and this causes some deep seeded emotional problems for Hamlet. I can not talk about Hamlet's emotional state without also going into the fact that Hamlet already suspects the King of killing his father, before the ghost tells him so (Leavenwoth, 34). First I will go elaborate on how Hamlet, at certain times, was clearly not feigning insanity, but that insanity only lasted for brief period ...

... The idea of the plot, although not completely original is still unique and is still used in modern work, such as the TV sitcoms like "Sister, Sister." Something that surprised me in the play was Adriana's character. She was insecure and portrayed the typical damsel in distress. She was completely dependent on her husband and this fact alone made the play somewhat out of date. Shakespeare is said to be "not of an age, but for all times," but Adriana's character, in my opinion, would not fit in to the modern world. I feel the most important part of the play is the message it conveys and should be used as a moral today. The whole play is based on family members ...

... honesty stands out. It didn't matter how much trouble he would bring himself into, his philosophy was “I may speak my heart” (Miller, p.30). Proctor's honesty eventually lead to his downfall and death. The first incident in the play where we see Proctor's honesty is after the affair he had with Abigail. He realized his mistake and was honest and admitted it to his wife Elizabeth. In the next situation where Proctor is involved he tells the Reverend Parris why he does not like him, and it also gets him into trouble. He tells him, “Can you speak one minute without we land in hell again, I'm sick of hell! (p. 30). He is honest, yet disrespectful to his rev ...

He puts plenty of technical, pseudo-specialist talk into his characters' mouths to give readers the illusion that they're learning something as they quickly flip the pages (Kakutui 3). Michael Crichton has definitely made a boom in the entertainment industry. Whether it is his top grossing movies or his top rated television shows like E.R. which took a leading twenty prime-time Emmy nominations last year including best drama (Carter 23). Crichton's latest movie Congo, which had a great opening weekend, was one of his successes. This movie was based on a book that Crichton wrote in the ...

... It was wrong for her to persuade Macbeth to kill the king, and she knew this, which is why she felt so horrible for her wrong doing that she killed herself. The second reason for Macbeth’s downfall is because of the three witches. This is a better reason for his downfall than that of his wife because these witches knew exactly what to say to spark the fire in Macbeth. These witches stir up trouble throughout the whole play and aid to .
