... play progresses. The “angel” on one of his shoulders is telling him how kind this male ruler has been to him and the country of Scotland. The little “greedy devil” on his other shoulder that wants to be King finally overcomes the “angel.” His mind finally warrants him the justification to kill King Duncan. He has deep regret for what he has done shortly thereafter. The murder of the King is the first to slowly break down his now fragile emotional state. He feels that after murdering the King, he has given his mind and soul to those evil and demonic forces which are the enemy of mankind. It seems as though he is addicted to a drug; he must kill those who oppose h ...

... were going to get Wyatt for killing one for their brothers. Doc knew that Wyatt might of been killed if he went there on his own. So again, even though not in the best of health, Doc went to help Wyatt out. Another type of friendship is the one that came between John Oakhurst and young Tom Simson in the story of The Outcast of Poker Flat. In this camaraderie the two men were in a poker game and young Simson lost all of his money to Oakhurst. After the game Oakhurst pulled him aside and gave him his money back and a little lecture on not to gamble any more. By this he made a slave (friend) for life.

... tells of a warm June day driving in luxury with plenty of room “to hold lots of stuff (like my friends)”. The setting is in a peaceful countryside next to a lake with tall majestic trees including a brightly colored vehicle consuming the pavement. All I’ve caught is a glimpse of this wonderful machine that has an “engine technology that will carry me over the racetracks and to private school”. But the color makes me want to see more. Not the usual black or red. No. This car is different. This car is amazing. This car is purple. Not just any purple, but a rich, gleaming purple. The purple only a strong women would drive. The voice continues to say only on ...

... no comprehension of the value of money, for when he successfully earns any, he spends it on lavish food and clothes immediately, instead of saving it. He spends all his time churning out music in final copy, which, although beautiful, doesn't earn money as would teaching music. Mozart is really the one who should be jealous, as he has little in the way of money or assets, or even respect. All he has is his talent and his priceless music, but not the sense he needs to capitalise on it. It isn't the fact that someone has more talent than him, the problem is, as he sees it, that he isn't as good as someone else after making a bargain with God, which should guara ...

... because, like us, he is not completely upright, nor is he completely wicked. He is foolish and arrogant, it is true, but later he is also humble and compassionate. He is wrathful, but at times, patient. Because of his good qualities, we experience pity for him and feel that he does not deserve the severity of his punishment. His actions are not occasioned by any corruption or depravity in him, but by an error in judgment, which, however, does arise from a defect of character. Lear has a "tragic flaw" - egotism. It is his egotism in the first scene that causes him to make his error in judgment - the division of his kingdom and the loss of Cordelia. Throughout the ...

... Their actions frightened other young people, who soon showed the same symptoms, such as loss of appetite and sickness. A belief quickly spread over Salem and throughout the state that evil spirits are being seen in Salem. Terror took possession of the minds of nearly all the people, and the dread made the affliction spread widely. "The afflicted, under the influence of the witchery, "admitted to see the forms of their tormentors with their inner vision" (Miller 1082). and would immediately accuse some individual seen with the devil. At times the afflicted and the accused became so numerous that no one was safe from suspicion and its consequences. Even those ...

... and now you have a corrupted person who in order to change would have to step out of power and become a person who doesn't control. Nothing can really be done to sustain it or avoid it, if you take a corrupt person in power and replace a fair and just person. Sooner or later they also become corrupt. You just have to assume and hope the replacement will be a fair person. In the tradgity "Macbeth" there are many examples of corruption. When Macbeth became Thane of Cowdor his wife, Lady Macbeth, was very delighted to hear of such news. And when hearing that Duncan, the king ,would be coming to dinner at their castle, gave her an idea that maybe they need a n ...

... my upbringing, I have picked up the belief that love isn’t always what you expect. It is something that can just happen. Some people find “love at first site.” These are people who say that they fell in love the first time they laid eyes on their significant other. These are also the people who believe in fate and destiny. People that don’t believe in love at first site feel love needs to be worked for. Not every couple can get along perfectly like we all probably dream, but it doesn’t mean we can’t work towards a better understanding of each other. “But ‘tis my heart that loves what they despise.” (Shakespeare CXLI) And as we don’t get along perfectly, ...

... dressed and carrying a pitch pipe while riding a horse, and pulling along a pony. At a muttered comment from Magua, Major Duncan orders Gamut to be quiet for safety. This scene was not only not in the movie, but neither was the character of Gamut. The movie not only left out a character, it left out other scenes. One such scene would be when Uncas Chickengook and Hawkeye join Cora, Alice, Duncan, Maugua, and Gamut.* When these characters join the party, they tell Duncan that Maugua is a Huron spy. Duncan decides to question Maugua, but when he does, Maugua runs away. When Maugua begins to run, Duncan wants to chase him, but Uncas, Chickengook, and Hawkeye se ...
