.... and they all face their tragedy with dignity. It is not until the late 1500s that Shakespeare began to utilize Aristotle’s observations in the production of his many tragedies (Desjardens). Probably the most important characteristic of a Shakespearean tragic hero is that one must posses a tragic flaw, because without the flaw, there would never be a downfall. The ultimate flaw varies from one play to another, King Lear’s flaw is that of arrogance while Macbeth’s it one of ambition. Some characters may be guilty of harboring many flaws, like Othello. Among Othello’s wrongs are gullibility and stupidity. In either case, the character ne .....

.... his shaggy hair which looked like a wig, and his stuffed boots; these features led her to believe he was not a teenager, but in fact, much older. Oates does make Arnold out to be a psychopathic stalker, but never objectively states the diabolical nature to his character. In “Connie's Tambourine Man”, a critical essay on the story, the authors write about Arnold Friend: “There are indeed diabolical shades to Arnold just as Blake and Shelley could see Milton's Satan a positive, attractive symbol of the poet, the religious embodiment of creative energy, so we should also be sensitive to Arnold's multifaceted and creative nature”(Tierce and Crafton 608). M .....

.... cries for help. During World War II the Jewish families over in Gremany and other parts of Europe were being forced to leave their homes and businesses to go to concentration camps.

Eventually help came to save these starving and horrified people. After the war the families began to peice together what was left .....

.... Not only does the fact of Grendel having the mark of Cain symbolize that he is inherently evil because of his family line, but it also shows Beowulf's devotion to the Christian God. Beowulf knows that he cannot kill Grendel*, because the Christian God said that if anyone kills a man with this mark "he shall be avenged sevenfold." In the epic of Beowulf, Beowulf makes many references to his fate. Fate, by definition, is a pagan belief. There is no belief in fate in the Christian religion, yet fate seems to play an important role in the morality and values of Beowulf. For instance, Beowulf said that he could serve G .....

.... than writing. Speaking gives the listener a sense of trust. The speaker knows which audience to speak to and not to speak to. The opportunities that speaking offers us that writing can’t do is telling the listener about the events that happen during the present time, censorship, and trust from the credibility of the speaker. Through today’s technology more and more information is being presented in this world. Thus gives the speaker the upper hand to tell the facts as we speak during the present times. If present time information would be written down today, tomorrow the information may be absolete. Censorship is always a major issue; the speaker gets to e .....

.... from the literal to the figurative. Crane opens the novel with a description of the fields at dawn: "As the landscape changed from brown to green, the army awakened, and began to tremble with eagerness at the noise of rumors" (43). The fog clears to reveal a literal green world of grass. It also reveals another green world, the green world of youth. Like schoolchildren, the young soldiers circulate rumor within the regiment. This natural setting proves an ironic place for killing, just as these fresh men seem the wrong ones to be fighting in the Civil War. Crane remarks on this later in the narrative: "He was aware that these battalions with their commot .....

.... felt the same towards Macbeth. Throughout the first act, it is clearly shown that Macbeth is an honest, noble, valiant, and dependable warrior, these are descriptions of Macbeth made by the soldier, Duncan and Lady Macbeth. "Doubtful it stood... upon our battlements" (Act 1, Scene 2 L9-25) "O valiant cousin! Worthy gentleman" (Act 1, Scene 2 L26) "Yet do I fear thy nature; It is too full o' milk of human kindness" (Act 1 Scene 5 L15) Macbeth wrote to Lady Macbeth to tell of the witch's prophecies that, if true, may change her title queen of Scotland. Lady Macbeth then started to plan to kill Duncan to make her title true. Macbeth had a lot of troub .....
