.... takes place just months after the slaying of King Hamlet. "Something is rotten in the state of Denmark." The characters of the play know that there are powers at work in the kingdom. A power that could be considered supernatural is in control of the actions of the play. Hamlet is visited on several occasions by a ghost that offers thought provoking information. Hamlet knows not whether to trust the spirit or disregard what he has been told. "… the devil hath power T'assume a pleasing shape" Hamlet thought that the spirit may be trying to mislead him in the quest to find his father's killer. Characters of the play become unsure of their intentions due .....

.... Brutus is the main character, and driving force of the play, despite the misleading title of Julius Caesar. Three separate, critical aspects help to show the reader how unimportant Julius Caesar is to the play. Caesar appears, in dreams, and thoughts of multiple people, giving warnings and special messages. Nobody seems to pay attention to him. Anotherexample is illustrated by the way that Brutus seems to dominate his own actions, whatever he is thinking. Also, Antony declares war on Brutus, but not out of love for Caesar, but anger toward the conspirators. As these aspects are explained in further detail one will be sure of the fact that Brut .....

.... this report is gathered mainly from information found on the World Wide Web. Some information was gained through newspaper articles obtained by using the InfoTrac system in the Ruth Scarborough Library on the Shepherd College Campus. Refer to the bibliography for specific information references. History Research by the Distilled Spirits Council of the United States (DISCUS) found that 30 to 50 percent of Americans think that distilled spirits are being advertised on TV. Since Prohibition the hard liquor industry voluntarily agreed not to advertise their products, first on radio in 1936, and of TV in 1948. However, the industry is being faced with declinin .....

.... in a very similar way. Mr. Perry and Egeus tend to take control of their children's lives. Puck and Charlie are both pranksters. Cameron and Helena are insensitive. And this list of people's similarities could go on and on. Characters from the movie "Dead Poet's Society" have similar traits as Shakespeare' s characters in the play "A Midsummer Night's Dream". This just shows how characters from two totally unrelated stories are similar. Both Mr. Perry and Egeus want to have total control over their children's lives. Egeus and Mr. Perry made the most important choices their children would ever have, rather than letting them run their own lives. Egeus s .....

.... Oberon orders Puck to sprinkle love juice in Titania's eye and, taking pity on Helena, the eyes of Demetrius as well. A solution is very close at hand until Puck mistakes Lysander for Demetrius and causes Lysander to fall desperately in love with Helena. This is the main conflict. Characters that are desperately in love are torn apart by forces they c annot control. Helena is in great anguish because she cannot have Demetrius and now it seems that Lysander is mocking her over this very fact. Hermia is also in terrible pain due to the sudden change of heart seen in her lover. Demetrius is still seeking Hermia with no hope of success and Lysander is t .....

.... precise group of specific traits of the characters, the play would certainly lose an amount of appreciation of some of its readers and audiences. This play is led by the Athenian leader, Lysistrata. She is in some ways quite liberal, but I think that the identification of these liberal traits are difficult to distinguish. Some of Lysistrata's liberal aspects are ideas such as feminine politics, justice, recognition, and determination. For example, Lysistrata is a woman who is always determined to get her way. She feels that victory is not just important in the definition of winning an outcome, but that victory should be the primary priority. Her de .....

.... to end this mystery of the death of Laios as quickly as possible, Oedipus passes an edict to kill anyone who withholds information. Teiresias tested Oedipus’ patience in the beginning of the story with information he was withholding; “For you would rouse a very stone to wrath…” (pg. 13). This impatient accusing of Teiresias proved to be bad, especially since Teiresias foretold the ending of the story. If Oedipus had been more patient and waited, he might have not been quite so upset about the future, nor shaken up about what was to happen. However, that one trait did not alone take away his position of high authority. Oedipus displayed anger throughout t .....

.... it seems as if Willy is getting Alzheimer’s disease, even though he has no trouble remembering things. He does a lot of unconscious rambling or talking out loud to himself about his obsessions. I don’t know if that is a symptom of Alzheimer’s or not, but I believe the author was trying to show that he wasn’t in a right state of mind. The author explains this as too many years on the road and too much pressure to succeed. His family and friends keep referring to him as a good man, but I don’t see that. As they flashback to the past and show him with his sons he is still the obsessive man that he is in the present, it’s just in the past his sons are successful .....
