.... Macbeth, not only does a ghost appear but a floating dagger, witches, and prophetic apparitions make appearances. The role of the supernatural is very important in Hamlet and Macbeth. A ghost, appearing in the form of Hamlet¹s father, makes several appearances in the play. It first appears to the watchmen, Marcellus and Bernardo, along with Horatio near the guardsmens' post. The ghost says nothing to them and is perceived with fear and apprehension, ³It harrows me with fear and wonder². It is not until the appearance of Hamlet that the ghost speaks, and only then after Horatio has expressed his fears about Hamlet following it, ³What if it tempt you tow .....

.... accepted by Orsino, whereas, in her female identity she would not be. Thus, a customary role in society and to the outlooks of others is portrayed. Orsino sees Cesario, as a young squire just starting out in the world, much like himself as a young, spry lad, so he has a tendency to be more willing to unload onto her with his troubles and sorrows, seeking a companion with which to share and to teach. Thus, Viola grows in her male disguise to get a better feeling for his inner self, not the self that he shows to the public, or would reveal and share with Viola in her true female self, but rather his secret self, as he believes he shares with a peer. So, she .....

.... and growth of the English language, it will never end. The only judge of “correctness” for language is its usage. “We must make choices and arrange words in patterns of sense and form, accessible to other people. These choices and patterns are usage” (Bishop xxi). Traditional grammarians firmly upheld the standards for language usage and were the commanding authority during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries when good grammar was a distinct sign of “breeding, station, and intellect” (Bishop xxi). Using proper grammar helped distinguish a person’s character, level of education, and their social class. For this reason usage was kept in a formal st .....

.... and indeed, a character in its own right. The use of lines provided in the playbill was the first of its kind; never before had an author dared to ask the members of the audience to perform, even though unpaid, and indeed, paying for the experience themselves. But without those lines, how much less impressive would that moment be when the Director, understandably at the end of his rope with the greedy characters (who have been from the start trying to coerce him into writing a script for non-union wages), shouts "Reality! Fantasy! Who needs this! What does this mean?" and the audience, in unison, shouts back, "It's us! We're here!" The moment imm .....

.... of superhuman strength. A real hero, in more down-to-earth terms could be someone like Nelson Mandela, who stood up for his rights, and those of his country, and fought a battle that many of people thought he could never win. Films, old and new, depict heroes in the same light and with the same qualities as those mentioned. Heroes today are viewed in a film's but not recognised as instantly as they may have been 10 or 20 years ago. They have less prominent characteristics as than the ones shown in films involving superheroes. William Wallace is a hero that is glorified in the film Braveheart. In this film he displays great courage and bravery in war and sho .....

.... had satire in them. The scene where the mother is talking about her gay son and his partner is an example because it was a mockery of how “normal people” handled the touchy subject of homosexuality. Another satiric scene is where Norris told her family about her affair, but the circumstances were that she had the affair with Nick’s gay partner and she was bearing his child. This is a very unusual example of satire because this sort of thing usually does not happen to a middle class society (or at least not that I have heard of). The family’s reaction to this newfound information is very humorous because they act almost opposite as to w .....

.... takes his own life. Hamlet also talks about life long suicide, doing nothing and allowing life to pass by. Hamlet feels as if he has resorted to this passive mode. He suffers guilt from standing by and allowing Claudius to live. Hamlet feels as if he is too gutless to t e the king’s life until he has gathered all of the facts and the right opportunity arises. Hamlet is being extremely hard on himself . It is only human nature to feel nerveless when one is unable to take action. He must realize that he is not being c ardly, but smart to wait and take decisive action. Evidence shows that Hamlet feels life is a burden yet Hamlet still remains tranquil .....
