.... women are fighting, a man will suffer for it. Just then, Macbeth and Banqou see the witches and engage them in conversation. The witches greet Macbeth with, "Thane of Glamis" (his present title), "Thane of Cawdor" (his soon-to-be announced title), and the prophesy that he will be "King hereafter." They also greet Banquo with, "lesser than Macbeth, and greater," as "not so happy, yet much happier," and tell him "thou shalt get kings, though thou be none." How would the witches know of their future? Perhaps they were trying to plant an idea in Macbeth's head that would lat .....

.... knowledge of worldly matters and of the individual. Aristotle attempted to explain how an audience could observe tragic events and still have a pleasurable experience. Aristotle, by searching the works of writers of Greek tragedy, Aeschulus, Euripides and Sophocles (whose Oedipus Rex he considered the finest of all Greek tragedies), arrived at his definition of tragedy. This explanation has a profound influence for more than twenty centuries on those writing tragedies, most significantly Shakespeare. Aristotle's analysis of tragedy began with a description of the effect s .....

.... a city. Everybody in the city is one way or another involved in and responsible for what happens." I agree with this quote. In the rest of this essay you will read why. One reason why it is a tragedy of a city is because almost everyone is involved. Almost the whole city attended the party which the Capulets held. Even Romeo attended the party. Now the audience of the play knows that even the city's citizens are involved. The next reason is when Benvolio and Tybalt exchange insults. At first they just argue. Then within a blink of an eye, you see masses of peo .....

.... belief through its plot, characterization, music, lights, camera angles, and symbolism. Set in Eastern Europe in 1904, Yentl captures the essence of the Jewish woman's eternal struggle. It is the story of a young girl, in love with learning but forbidden to do so by Jewish tradition. Upon her father's death, Yentl disguises herself as a boy to attend a yeshiva (religious school) and continue her studies. She befriends Avigdor, a male scholar at the yeshiva, and falls in love with him. Driven by her love for him, Yentl will do all that she can to ensure that he .....

.... raise a present sum" but urges Bassanio to go through Venice to try to secure a loan using Antonio's bond as credit (Shakespeare, Merchant 1.1 178-179). One of the resident money-lenders of Venice is an individual called Shylock, a person of Jewish descent. The practice of usury was traditionally banned by the Christian church. This allowed many Jews, because their belief system contained no objection to profitable money-lending, to become the de facto loan officers. Bassanio approaches Shylock to ask for a loan, and Shylock seems as if he is going to agree, howe .....

.... educational background as well. Through this technological breakthrough, I can receive up to the minute coverage of breaking events around the world instead of reading about it a day late in the paper. Television offers a picture to go with the words unlike the radio. It serves as a quick and easy information source for people who work. To read about a war in the paper is nothing like experiencing it live through the TV where the words have a picture to match them. The history channels allow me to see what life was like in the twenties, the discovery channels show me what new .....

.... the play, deceives his father in order to gain his favor. Edmund, the Earl of Gloucester's bastard son, tells his father that Edgar, Gloucester's legitimate son, is plotting to ruin Gloucester. This causes the Earl to banish Edgar and give his title and land to Edmund. The ironic misuse of power used by the Earl of Gloucester shows up in both plots. Gloucester punishes Edgar and later finds that Edmund was the one taking advantage of him. Similarly, Regan and Goneril gain Lear's favor, while Cordelia is left 'dowerless' and banished from the kingdom. In the end, though, Cordel .....

.... muffled by many people's views. The 54th regiment was incorporated because people thought it would only be fitting that blacks be able to fight for their own freedom. The problem was that the blacks were still thought of as inferior individuals. This is why it took so long for a black regiment to come into existence. A good example of the racism that was still existent in the north is when the 54th met the white regiment coming back and were called "nigger"s and were taunted. Another good example was that Blacks were not allowed to go to military academies, and that is wh .....
