... is better to live in a world where he cannot see any goodness or take his own life. Hamlet has a very intense, philosophical personality. For this reason, he cannot take his life because he does not know what happens after one dies. He is not positive of an afterlife, therefore he doesn't have the courage to end his life. "Now might I do it prat," (Beaty, 1363) is a soliloquy in which we see a shift in Hamlet's rationalization. Hamlet, as his fathers only son, is seeking revenge for his fathers death, but is afraid that a quick death for Claudius would not be enough. Hamlet feels that waiting until Claudius is in an immoral situation would make him suffer in ...

... Great Britain primarily wanted resources that weren’t found in Europe. Gold and diamond mines were all over South Africa, and Great Britain knew that if they had possession of them that their economy would profit greatly. Also, South Africa had many strategic points for ports to be built. Ships traveling to India and Asia could stop at these ports. It was a perfect place for British ships because it was like a mid-point between the two places in which it was traveling. Ships could also replenish supplies such as food, clothes, men, etc. The British occupation of the land sparked a debate on whether the British should have access to South Africa. They only wanted i ...

... for his country. In the next passage, in which the sergeant says "Which smok'd with bloody execution", he is referring to Macbeth's braveness in which his sword is covered in the hot blood of the enemy. After these few references to honour, the symbol of blood now changes to show a theme of treachery and treason. Lady Macbeth starts this off when she asks the spirits to "make thick my blood,". What she is saying by this, is that she wants to make herself insensitive and remorseless for the deeds which she is about to commit. Lady Macbeth knows that the evidence of blood is a treacherous symbol, and knows it will deflect the guilt from her and Macbeth to t ...

... of them have made major mistakes because of this unwanted trait. Hamlet has, on many occasions, spoken too quickly or acted out of rage or ignorance and hurt himself and others. When Polonius spies on Hamlet and the Queen, Hamlet thinks that it is the king who is spying behind the curtain, and without knowing who it really is he stabs Polonius and kills him. Polonius also has the same problem, but with much tamer results. Polonius usually ends up just making himself sound like a babbling fool by not thinking things out first. He never really hurt anyone and his slaying by Hamlet’s sword makes Hamlet seem more the fool. This foil gives Hamlet the image of a ...

Pray can I not,/ Though inclination be as sharp as will:/ My stronger guilt defeats my strong intent .” (3.3. 37-41) However, he still had no intentions of making things right and wished to further carry out his plans as ruler of Denmark, even though he had many opportunities to re-establish the balance. He chose to continue on with his evil deeds, and by doing so, ended the lives of all the victims that were caught in his destructive path. Thus, Claudius was, undoubtedly, the main character who brought upon the upheaval of Denmark. Nothing, not even t ...

... detects a glimmer of optimism, determination, and hope in Proctor's voice. The reader feels that he will fight till the end. "It is hard to give a lie to dogs.", he says. Proctor continually wavers in his decision whether to confess to this outright lie, or to spite the evil and be hung in martyrdom. Up to this point in time, the court officials have no definitive proof that any witchcraft has actually been practiced. Innocent people are being hung only on account of the testimony given by one young girl. Proctor realizes that by confessing, he will mar the memory of the many who have thus far been killed without confirming the false accusations. These dead would n ...
