The Importance Of Marriage Pri
<view this essay>.... etc. were not open to women, thus Elizabeth's opinion "that though this great lady [Lady Catherine] was not in the commission of the peace for the county, she was a most active magistrate in her own parish" is ironic, since of course no woman could be a justice of the peace or magistrate. Few occupations were open to them -- and those few that were such as being a governess, i.e. a live-in teacher for the daughters of a family, were not highly respected, and did not generally pay well or have very good working conditions.
Therefore most "genteel" women could not get money except by marrying for it or inheriting it and since the eldest son generally inher .....

Hamlet Scene By Scene
<view this essay>.... sends his servant Reynaldo to spy on Laertes. Polonius reminds him of how an effective spy asks open-ended questions and tells little suggestive lies. Polonius likes to spy.
Ophelia comes in, obviously upset. She describes Hamlet's barging into her bedroom, with "his doublet all unbraced" (we'd say, his shirt open in front), his dirty socks crunched down, and pale and knock-kneed, "as if he had been loosèd out of hell / to speak of horrors." Or, as might say, "as if he'd seen a ghost." Hamlet grabbed her wrist, stared at her face, sighed, let her go, and walked out the door backwards.
What's happened? Hamlet, who has set about to feign mental illness, is a .....

The Threat Of Nuclear War
<view this essay>.... escalation can all lead to inadvertent nuclear war.
In the 1950's a flock of geese was mistaken for a squadron of
Russian bombers, and in 1960 a radar beam reflecting off the moon
duplicated a Soviet ICBM (Inter-Continental Ballistic Missile)(Barbara
Marsh, p.65). Both of these false alarms were detected in time to halt a
counter-strike mainly because it was peace time and no one's finger poised
over the "button". During a crisis, peoples high levels of stress create
suspicions where there shouldn't be, and as a result many safe guards are
removed that are in place to prevent an accidental launch. It is feared
that under these circumstances it .....

Julius Caesar - Mark Antony
<view this essay>.... is almost as if Mark Antony is only a puppet to Julius Caesar. He is being respectful of his leader, yet it seems as if he is fearful of him. While Caesar does not realize Mark Antony’s potential, Brutus underestimates him. Brutus refers to Rome as a body and Caesar as the head, yet “To cut the head off and then hack the limbs” would be killing Mark Antony. If the head of something was shot, there is no need to try to shoot the heart. Julius Caesar is concerned about his well-being, for good reason. Casca has been speaking in low tones and Caesar would “Have men about me that are fat” because he feels that they can be trusted easier. Caesar trusts Mark .....

Was Prince Hamlet Wacko
<view this essay>.... proof of Claudius' guilt. Throughout the play, Hamlet teeters on the brink of insanity induced by his actions, or inactions.
Hamlet's sanity is clarified, in the first act, by statements and feelings expressed within his dialogue. When asked about his depressed appearance and demeanor by Gertrude, Hamlet replies, "Seems, madam? Nay, it is. I know not "seems" (1037, line 76). This relates the idea that Hamlet is 'what he appears to be'. Later, he clearly makes a statement about his mental health when he commits himself to avenge his father's murder. This quote allows the reader to follow Hamlet's train of thought in regards to his role as student, mo .....

Self-Reliance
<view this essay>.... of what your personal role is in the universe, and acceptance
of that justifying it only to ones self.
I don't believe one could be truly self reliant and selfish, because self
reliance means an understanding of the world around you in order to be
independent enough to find confidence with in yourself to exist self
reliantly. I think that one could be very independent though, and at the
same time be selfish. A person of such mind set would view them self as the
center of the universe and not take into account the events, people, ideas
around them.
Self centered Ness is the same evil as selfishness in my humble opinion.
There really isn't a d .....

The Soliloquies Of Richard In
<view this essay>.... of his mind and also reveal his self-knowledge.
The first scene of the play begins with a soliloquy which emphasizes Richard's isolation as he appears alone and even bitterly depicts his deformity as "rudely stamp'd…Deform'd, unfinish'd…". His deformity can indicate the disharmony from nature and viciousness of his spirit. Richard's deformities both physical and mental exclude him from the world around him. He is separated even from his family as he says, "Dive, thought's down to my soul", when he sees his brother, the Duke of Clarence, coming. He is unable to share his thought with his own family as he is plotting against them. He has .....
