.... the lord finds Sly, a drunk beggar, he immediately plots a practical joke to play on him. The lord, who is very wealthy and obviously has a lot of time on his hands decides to treat Sly as a nobleman and see how he reacts. In addition to ordering his servants to treat Sly as their master, he too pretends to be a servant. The most amusing part of this induction occurs when Sly becomes convinced that he is indeed a nobleman. When he first awakes, he thinks that everyone is playing a joke on him. After some convincing, Sly gives in and believes that he really was suffering from a long sickness. When Sly asks the page, who is pretending to be his wife to undr .....

.... amplifies the theme of death. From the first brief encounter of the witches, to the last nightmarish visions that Macbeth has, many close friends and relatives have died because of his visions with the supernatural. The death of his wife in Act V, Scene IV is the death that sends him over the abyss and into mental instability. Lady Macbeth is like a joined appendage to Macbeth. They work as one, communicate as one, and when that appendage is lost, so is MB's grip with reality. Lady Macbeth was the only person he could truly confide in. The supernatural also had another key factor to her death. In the first act of the play, she calls on the powers of .....

.... - apparitions, no less, not even human - that you just ran into in the woods, especially if they told you you would be the ruler of your land. You would probably brush the encounter off, but not Macbeth! He believed them. Right after their encounter with the witches, Macbeth and Banquo discuss what they have just seen. "(Macbeth)Your children shall be kings. (Banquo)You shall be king. (Macbeth)And thane of Cawdor, too" (I. iii, 86-88). Here we can see for ourselves that Macbeth has trusted the witches from word one and does not even think to question what they have told him. Not too much later, Macbeth discovers that the thane of Cawdor has been kil .....

.... techniques throughout the first act to convince him to execute the King, including questioning his manhood. He appears to be a very strong individual before all of this occurred, being very stable mentally and being a hero in the eyes of his countrymen on the battlefield. All of this changes as the play progresses. The “angel” on one of his shoulders is telling him how kind this male ruler has been to him and the country of Scotland. The little “greedy devil” on his other shoulder that wants to be King finally overcomes the “angel.” His mind finally warrants him the justification to kill King Duncan. He has deep regret for what he has done shortly thereafter .....

.... as well as many other literary critics seem to convey that tragedy revolves around two universal aspects: fear and freedom. "The Crucible" is a direct parallel to the multiple ideals of tragedy and thus centers around John Proctor's fear and freedom while he exists as a tragic hero. The first stage in the process of establishing the tragic hero for Miller was relaying the characteristics of John Proctor. It was essential that Proctor be viewed as the so called "good guy" in the plot, one who stands out or the audience can relate to. He is described as a "farmer in his middle thirties" with a " powerful body" and a "steady manner", and is alread .....

.... contrast of the first two characters sets the mind into work already, wondering how these two personalities will carry the film. Still furthermore when Jack, the failed politician, and Thomas, a little-known poet, meet up with Sonya, a secluded scientist, the movie takes a deep inner-look at the world. As the three characters get to know one another, they begin to discuss (actually debate) various topics about the world around them. As they all begin to tell their side, it becomes clear why the author chose these characters. Each has a very separate, very unique view on the subject he is trying to get across: people's perception of the world. As th .....

.... in his lifetime would ensure he would not spend eternity in such a miserable place. I believe the whole purpose of this journey into hell was to let Dante see the anguish there and choose. Perhaps this was a divine warning. In Canto 2, Beatrice, the symbol of Divine Love, an angelic spirit was sent to help aid Dante from his error and help him return back. This is purely love and compassion at its best. Sending someone into hell to rescue another person out of there. Great lengths were taken to help Dante return back to the straight way. I do not believe such action was taken if Dante was to end up in hell all along. For some reason midway in .....

.... death bed, Doc Holiday, got up and went with Wyatt to help him slay them. This is one way that a friendship can form between two people. A further example of the friendship between Wyatt and Holiday was when the Dalton gang had come into town with their guns and went into the O.K. Corral. They were going to get Wyatt for killing one for their brothers. Doc knew that Wyatt might of been killed if he went there on his own. So again, even though not in the best of health, Doc went to help Wyatt out. Another type of friendship is the one that came between John Oakhurst and young Tom Simson in the story of The Outcast of Poker Flat. In this camaraderie .....
