.... man, and substantiates the theme that the seeds of evil are rooted in envy. The imagery of planting in Macbeth helps to bring about an atmosphere of evil. The words of Banquo to the witches: "If you can look into the seeds of time,/ And say which grain will grow and which will not," (I. 3; 58-59) plant early in the play a conception of time as something which fulfills itself by growing---and which, the season being wrong, can swell to monstrous shape. " . . . the troubles of Macbeth's character are planted early in the play, and they foreshadow his downfall," (Brooks). In the early scenes of the play evil is scarcely visible in Macbeth, but it spr .....

.... In today's world it seems that class is still a huge part of the world order, and moreover it seems that there will always be the rich and poor, the owner and the worker. This is even demonstrated by the literature of our time and that of other era's, such as the play "The Importance of Being Earnest" by Oscar Wilde. In this play Wilde display's the class structure with a different and interesting twist. He makes a reflection on the society with his own sense of humor, but however it still leaves a very good opportunity to make a Marxist critique about the way the class structure influences the play. He leaves room for these critiques when he writes ab .....

.... of their English teacher what kinds of lives they had been leading, and what their lives could be. One student in particular, Neil Perry, discovers a whole new world and his life is irreversibly changed as a result of the impact of his association with Mr. Keating. The lives of all the boys were drastically changed the day they met Mr. Keating. "Carpe Diem" he told them. "Seize the day, make you lives extraordinary." With these few words, Mr. Keating opened the minds of his students to the broad possibilities that life held for them. The boys learned that they deserved more than the daily routine, that they were not satisfied with living up to the expect .....

.... misinterpretation of reality that leads to the erroneous perceptions that each character holds. After reading this tragedy, the depth of Shakespeare's characters continue to raise many questions in the minds of the reader. The way I percieve the character of Othello and what concerns me, is that Othello is able to make such a quick transition from love to hate of Desdemona. In Act 3, Scene 3, Othello states, "If she be false, O, then heaven mocks itself! I'll not believe 't." (lines 294-295) Yet only a couple hundred lines later he says, "I'll tear her to pieces" (line 447) and says that his mind will never change from the "tyrannous hate" (line 464) he .....

.... from yelling at them to encouraging them. All in all Amanda Wingfield is a character very much detached form reality. A mother believes that her daughter should follow in her footsteps. When Amanda was young she had very may gentlemen callers “One Sunday afternoon in Blue Mountain-your mother received-seventeen! -Gentlemen callers!” (33). So naturally Amanda expects the same of Laura “Stay fresh and pretty! It’s almost time for our gentlemen callers to be arriving. I don’t believe that we are going to receive any, Mother. What! No one-not one? You must be joking!” (35). Amanda is constantly trying to set up a caller for Laura everywhere that she goes. .....

.... If it had not been for the witches telling him that he was to be Thane of Cawdor, Thane of Glamis, and King of Scotland, Macbeth would still be his ordinary self. As a result of the prophecies, this aroused Macbeth's curiosity of how he could be King of Scotland. As the play progresses, Macbeth slowly relies on the witches prophecies. Shakespeare uses the witches as a remedy for Macbeth's curiosity which corrupts his character. The influence of Macbeth's wife, Lady Macbeth also contributed to his degeneration of character. Lady Macbeth's character in the beginning reveals that she is a lovable person. When Lady Macbeth was ready to kill King .....

.... praises him: "let him alone,, He bears him like a portly gentlemen; And, to say truth, Verona brags of him To be a virtuous and well-govern'd youth. I would not for the wealth of all this town Here in my house do him disparagement"(I.IV.65-70) This means that among the people of Verona, Romeo is very well respected, and he would not do any harm to Romeo at that time.
