This ignited Laertes' revenge on Hamlet which resulted in Hamlet's death. Just as the killing of Polonious was a tragic flaw of Hamlets, so was the killing of Clau .....

.... The visions provided by the three witches begin Macbeth's quest for dominance. In the beginning Macbeth seems to be happy and satisfied with his life until the witches tell him he will be king. He soon begins to consider murdering Duncan. “If good, why do I yield to that suggestion” So the witches have “stroked the fires of his ambition” Macbeth writes Lady Macbeth. “They met me in the day of success; and I have learned by the perfect report, they have more in them than mortal knowledge.” He obviously has great faith in the witches' words. Later on, the apparitions called by the witches, influence Macbeth’s actions and lead him to believe he is inv .....

.... were three major changes. In the book, it was a ten-year-old boy who was killed. The boy was riding his bike home from his friend’s house around 11 o’clock at night because the boy had gotten into a fight with his friend. Ray (the guy who was driving the car) had become distracted and did not see the boy and hit him. After a little convincing they all agreed to a pact not to tell anyone and threw the boy’s body over the cliff and into the water below. No one saw them do this. In the movie, it was a man named David Egan who was killed. Another man killed David and his body was thrown over the edge of the cliff. It just so happened that the four teenagers, J .....

.... with twenty trenched gashes on his head as he had sacrificed himself to preserve the life of his son, the predicted heir to the throne, Fleance. The combination of these sinister events create the perfect prelude to a communion between Macbeth and his Thanes, with the notable exception of Banquo... The opening sequence of events would have been easily recognized by the audience who were familiar with the traditional banquet scene. The places have been previously set with particular reference to rank, thus adding to the formality of the evening. The usual degree of ceremonial pomp occurs as is especially evident in the opening lines of the scene. This scene .....

During the Han dynasty (206 BC-AD 220) palace singers acted out warriors’ stories, the forerunners of military plays in later Chinese opera, and by the time of the Three Kingdoms (AD 220-280) clay puppets were used to enact plays.

.... Helmer refers to Nora as his “little lark”, “little squirrel”, “little spendthrift”, “little featherhead”, and “little skylark”. While these pet names seem cute and affectionate, at the same time they come across as extremely condescending. However, Nora does not seem to mind at all and plays along in her role as Helmer’s “little squirrel”. In Act 1 we also learn about Nora’s taste for macaroons. At the beginning of the scene she is eating some and hides the bag when Helmer enters the room. He later questions her as to whether or not she has been “breaking rules” by eating a macaroon or two, which she denies. This shows us that Helmer’s control over .....
