King Lear: Consequences Of One Man's Decisions
<view this essay>.... As the play opens one can almost immediately see that Lear begins to make

Romeo And Juliet: The Capulet Family

shall...Am I the master here or you?” For a little bit, Tybalt argues, but
he very soon backs down and lets Capulet have his way.
Perhaps the reason why this happens is because the “inferior”
person is somewhat intimidated by the “superior.” This intimidation that
some of the characters produce on each other shows that there is not a
great deal of communication in the family. Throughout Act I, there were
several more examples of characters yielding to others and not standing up
for what they believe. For instance, when Lady Capulet brought up the idea
of Juliet marrying Paris, Juliet just went along with the concept , even
though t .....

Macbeth: The Main Theme Of Evil
<view this essay>.... killed for it! I think that some sort of
anatomy of evil was responsible for Macbeth's as well as other characters'
wrongdoings in the story. Each character in the story had to either fight it or
give into it. In Macbeth's case, he fought it and lost, and therefore, gave into
it. The play makes several points about the nature of evil. One point it makes
is that evil is not normal in human nature. Macbeth and Lady Macbeth have to
sort of "trick" themselves into murdering Duncan. First, Lady Macbeth has to beg
evil spirits to tear all human feeling from her ("...spirits / That tend on
mortal thoughts..." [Act I, Scene V, Lines 41-42] "Stop up th' accessand .....

How Do We Evaluate Art?
<view this essay>.... of personal feedback. The feedback,
however, can be based on a personal experience or knowledge.
Experience and knowledge can only increase in amount. Experience is
personal and independent. Everyone has different experience, no matter what the
experience is: learning experience, sexual experience, entertaining experience
or love experience. Experience is based on a person's life. Does that mean an
older human has greater personal experience? Theoretically, it is. We see that
we usually find an adult's suggestion is much more ideal than a child's. When
we are judging with our experience, we are actually doing comparison. We are
asking ourselves seve .....

Patterns Of Imagery In Macbeth
<view this essay>.... or in rain?" The meeting
will also be filled with these disturbances. The witches are also
surrounded by more unpleasant kinds of weather: "Hover through the fog and
filthy air" (Line 11). The weather might personify the witches, meaning
that the witches themselves are disturbances, though not limited to nature.
The bad weather also might mean that the witches are bad or foul ("filthy
air") creatures.
In Act II, Scene i, it is a dark night. Fleance says, "The moon is
down" (Line 2), and Banquo says, "Their (Heaven's) candles are all out

Tragedy And The Common Man
<view this essay>.... He is the universal man down the block; indeed in viewing the play common man is empathizing with common man. Willy Loman is real. Where as some may recognize in Willy a person they know, or may even see themselves in him. Miller’s subtle wordplay of “Loman” and “layman” is interesting in this regard. It is the familiarity with Willy Loman that is the endearing quality which draws the audience closer to him. Through identification with his struggles and pains an appreciation of his plight is achieved. This identification is universal. The universality of identification is, among those reading or viewing the play, a bonding force for persons of every s .....
