The Merchant Of Venice: The Relationship Between Antonio And Bassanio
<view this essay>.... Antonio is a male. Bassanio is
a male. Bassanio likes Antonio in a romantic way and also loves Portia, a female.
Also, there is another pair who I am suspicious about. They are Salanio and
Salerio. The reason is that they are always together, just like siamese twins.
When Salanio comes, Salerio comes. When Salerio goes, Salanio goes.
Here is a famous quote by Shakespeare, ÒThe love that dares not speak its name.Ó
In the play, there are many places where Antonio expresses love for Bassanio;
for example, Òlove the world for BassanioÓ and also Ògreat affection for
BassanioÓ.This certainly appeals to me that Antonio likes Bassanio as more than
just a friend. ÒGr .....

Hamlet: Finding Courage To Die
<view this essay>.... Hamlet is debating his fate. Hamlet is
asking himself whether it is more noble, in the mind, to passively accept and
suffer through all the pains of life fate throws at him, or to actively destroy,
in death, these numerous troubles, and ultimately end his pain. Hamlet is
questioning whether it is better to live in a world where he cannot see any
goodness or take his own life. Hamlet has a very intense, philosophical
personality. For this reason, he cannot take his life because he does not know
what happens after one dies. He is not positive of an afterlife, therefore he
doesn't have the courage to end his life.
"Now might I do it prat," (Beaty, 1363) .....

<view this essay>.... her beautiful sister Bianca, because of her suitors and her beauty.

conversation. As a joke, Luciento mentioned to Petruchio marry Katherine.

The Crucible: The Characters In The Crucible
<view this essay>.... think out the
final result of a situation, like when Betty was "spritually repossed" early in
the book (Act I, pages 6-12). John Proctor did not care about as Betty as much
as the final opinion that the town would have on Proctor's "white and pure" name.
Much can be said about Proctor's giving and understanding, but I don't
want to waste that line. Proctor's carring and willing to give people thinks was
not his best feature. Proctor was always thing about him, himself and no one
else, except the final outcome of the whole situation. Take for exaple the
fellow that wanted to get some tree off Proctor's land. Even though Proctor had
probably no knowlage .....

<view this essay>.... was prominent in the 1950's and
1960's – existentialism. The play attacks the notion that there are no absolute
truths or realities. Pinter is therefore concerned with what exists as unknown
and intangible to humanity. His theatre interrogates the truth of nature and
realities of language and demonstrates that much of what the audience regards as
fact is fiction as he explores the uncertainty of human existence.
When an audience of the 1960's went to the theatre, it can generally be assumed
that they had preconceived ideas about what they expected and what they are
going to gain from the theatrical experience. The traditional attitudes towards
theatre and the .....
