.... finalizing couplet. Utilizing the techniques personification, chiasmus, and enjambement, Shakespeare reveals that time, destroying all tangible seemingly indestructible creations, will ultimately take "love away." To reveal the passage of time Shakespeare divides his sonnet into three quatrains with each quatrain creating a specific thought. The opening quatrain begins with the forceful image of the personification of time, with the use of a capital; "Time." Like one's "hand," time is capable of destroying the seemingly indestructible "lofty towers" and "brass". Man is an "eternal slave" to time. In these opening lines Shakespeare is revealing that our ambition .....

.... play opens, the three hags ,concurring to congregate again on the heath, are introduced . “In thunder, lightening, or in rain ”(I,i,2). This signifies a gloomy dismal atmosphere on a barren stretch of land where the witches will conduct their sorcery and witchcraft. During the meeting on the heath, one of the witches is conversing how she is going to “tempest-tossed”(I,iii,26) a ship and make the captain ill. “I’ll give thee a wind” and “drain him dry as hay sleep shall neither night nor day.”(I,iii,12). This spell is cast due to the fact that the captain’s wife would not give the witch a chestnut. Another hag is bragging about a thumb she has acquired “ .....

.... the deceiver" who took his position many years ago. Prospero then says something a little strange, but it makes sense in the context of the story, he ask us to "release [him] from [his] bands with the help of your good hands." In other words, clap so that the sails of the boats his friends are riding in will be safely returned and Prospero can be "relieved by prayer" of the audience. All of what Prospero has said is very nice cute, but the most interesting part of this monologue is what Shakespeare himself is saying. "Now that my charms are all o'erthrown, and what strength I have's mine own" means, now my plays are over, and it's no longer my characte .....

.... valiant; it was Hamlet’s revenge on Claudius for murdering his father, the king, in cold blood. Hamlet wouldn’t have been reprimanded or had to suffer any repercussions. However, in today’s world revenge is a crime strictly punishable and enforced by the law. The Menendez brothers, who took revenge on their parents for sexually abusing them, are not regarded as heroes, nor are they considered honorable. They are shunned by the world and are readily awaiting either a life sentence without parole, or death by lethal injection. Both the Menendez brothers and Hamlet were painfully wronged and felt the need to seek revenge. It is possible that like Hamlet, th .....

.... to the position of lieutenant by Othello, so Cassio at first has his highest respect, until later in the play where Othello believes he is having an affair with Desdemona. Cassio's role in the play is not one of the extremely important ones. His main function is to be a figure who's actions are partially responsible for Othello believing that his wife is cheating on him. For example, Cassio asking for Desdemona's help leads to the two of them being seen together, which is in act three scene three line 35. In the end of the play, Cassio becomes the governor in Cyprus after the former Governor, Othello, commits suicide, in act five scene two fr .....

.... view society today and taking everything for granted diminishing man's image, argues with transcendentalism. In the human mind, everything needs to be handed to us on a silver plate. It is stated that man is to basically be good and to place his family before society. Examples of this being, to worship God and to look out for his family. It appears that man, in general, cannot seem to find time to actually do this. A transcendental man would make time to praise God and secure his family, as for America's society today; it seems that he cannot make time. All we think about now is when our needs will be served and when we will receive them, in other wor .....

.... what I should think" (III, iii). Used to relying upon her father’s direction and brought up to be obedient, she can only accept her father’s belief, seconded by that of her brother, that Hamlet’s "holy vows" of love were simply designed for her seduction. She was to obey her father’s orders not to permit Hamlet to see her again. Her father also wanted to prove Hamlet’s madness to the king. He used Ophelia as bait so he and the king could listen to Hamlet’s words. Ophelia willingly obliged to her father’s desires. By not thinking for herself and only doing as her father wished, she ruined her chances of love with Hamlet. Hamlet put pressure on Ophelia by ex .....

.... unicorns for magical regeneration, and blondness to indicate superiority ( 2). Images are just that—images which keep the viewer on a superficial level. For instance, in the program Sailor Moon, little girls are kept on a level of clothes and being cute for boys. This is a very unrealistic outlook and short circuits any thoughts of importance in their lives. Barbie, the Mattel doll, also portrays a false image. With her petite, fragile figure, large bust, tiny waist, long legs, big eyes, and vast career ranging from a lifeguard to a doctor, Barbie wins the hearts of many innocent little girls who become subjected to her unrealistic image. Most often .....
