They believed that she was heartless, thinking only of herself and that the men in her life didn’t mean a thing to her. The peasants though, now she has no one to take care of, and she can be free. And finally, a fourth reason the Irish thought that the play was insulting them was the fact that there were no “good times” or happy, pleasant times. It was all about death, and negativity.

... for each other rather than loving each other. It also appears that Antony is more in love with the idea of Cleopatra than with the woman herself. This kind of thing is very common. People often think very highly of the person that they met at on vacation, even if the person would not have been right for them.

... a character of pure evil lacks depth in that he only has one purpose; to better himself at the expense of others. Upon comparison of Edmund and Claudius' language one witnesses a stark contrast in the moral worth of each character. Although one might argue that both are cruel murderers, there still remains a large moral gap between Edmund and Claudius. The choice of language by a character often reveals insight into his character. The use of literary devices such as symbolism, irony, and double meaning all reveal more than what is literally expressed by a character. Often much of a character's speech is expressed while in the presence of other character ...
