The Witches Are Responsible For What Happens To Macbeth
<view this essay>.... I believe that
before hearing the witch's prophecies, Macbeth had never in his wildest
dreams thought of killing King Duncan to become king himself.

thane of Fife." In the following scene, we see murderers sent by Macbeth

Othello: Discuss The Techniques Iago Used To Manipulate Others
<view this essay>.... was to, from gaining their trust and making
then think that he was on their side he could manipulate them and make them
turn on each other. The other technique that he used which didn't nearly play a
role as large as the first technique but was important was he was always very
careful, in being discovered and by covering his tracks. He knew how to take
care of things in precarious situation. There was in my own personal opinion
one more technique, and that was that he knew how to use all his options and
could use his wits and cunningness.
Iago's number one technique was his ability to make people trust him. He
had just about everyone spun in Iago's web. .....

<view this essay>.... utilised his strengths well and this earned him a
new title: "Thane of Cawdor". "For brave Macbeth-well he deserves that name.
Disdaining fortune, with his brandish'd steel, Which smoked with bloody
execution, Like valour's minion carv'd out his passage, Till he fac'd the
slave." (Act 1, Scene 2, Lines 16-20). However, after the murder of Banquo, his
ambition and superstitious nature clouded his morals and common sense. Pride and
ambition were a main contributor to his faltering public image of a brave hero.
Macbeth's own nature and "metaphysical" influences is a lethal cocktail
which propels him to his fate. The witches' ambiguous prophesies affe .....

Creative Writing Of Hamlet
<view this essay>.... He was away a lot, fighting wars, signing
treaties, and being king. He was a busy guy. He always told me to keep
things in order when he was away. I guess I screwed up. I remember one
incident in particular.
I was must have been eight years old at the time. Dad was going to
fight in Norway. We had a talk before he left. We sat down in the
courtyard. It was a beautiful day and dad's presence was like another sun.
He seemed to glow as he spoke to me. He said, "Hammy, I will be away for a
while. I want you to watch mommy, and guard our fortress from invaders.
Take this. It will help you be strong." He gave me a small gold dagger.
He left that af .....

King Lear: Conspiracy In Nakedness And Dress
<view this essay>.... heaths, battles, and other harsh elements. At the same time that his
garments are lessening in value, so is his level of power and status. Lear
finds the bottom of the abyss he enters when he, a fool, a beggar, and a madman
have taken shelter in a hut from a storm. For Lear to be in the company such as
this, his status is near nothing. In order to show this degeneration from high
to low, Lear strips off all his clothing, showing he is now at the very bottom
of the social order. To have some clothes is to be someone, to have none is to
be nobody.
Edgar, legitimate son to the Earl of Gloucester, is well dressed, not as
much as Lear, but still ab .....
