.... judgement. In referring to the idea of the murder of Duncan, Macbeth first states,"We will proceed no further in this business"(I.vii.32). Yet, after speaking with Lady Macbeth he recants and proclaims,"I am settled, and bend up/Each corporal agent to this terrible feat"(I.vii.79-80). There is nothing supernatural to be found in a man being swayed by the woman he loves, as a matter of fact this action could be perceived as quite the opposite. Second, the witches have to be dispelled as a source of Macbeth's misfortune before the latter theory can be considered. It is ad .....

.... source for news for most of the American public, and beyond that, perhaps, the most powerful single influence on the public.” (Hallin 106) So people trusted what reporters like Walter Cronkite were telling them. They believed it when NBC journalists told them things like, “ the Marines are so bogged down in Hue that nobody will predict when the battle would end…more than 500 marines have been wounded and over 100 dead since the in Hue began.” (Klein 51) Don't get the wrong idea though, these things really happened but the public didn't need to know it. The constitu .....

.... expense of others. Upon comparison of Edmund and Claudius' language one witnesses a stark contrast in the moral worth of each character. Although one might argue that both are cruel murderers, there still remains a large moral gap between Edmund and Claudius. The choice of language by a character often reveals insight into his character. The use of literary devices such as symbolism, irony, and double meaning all reveal more than what is literally expressed by a character. Often much of a character's speech is expressed while in the presence of other characters; the pre .....

.... 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 station. Miller’s success in this point is bred from each viewer’s own sentiment for Willie Loman. Another point by Miller is that, “the tragic feeling is invoked in us when we are in the presence of a character who is willing to lay down his life... to secure one thing- his sense of personal dignity.” Willy Loman .....

.... statement makes it perfectly clear that Hamlet views what he has to do as a job that he has to do for his father. In act 2, scene 2 Hamlet meets an actor who easily displays intense emotion and passion on matters that have just come to his head. Hamlet asks himself in the soliloquy that followed if he was a coward for not completing his task yet. This makes it obvious that killing Claudius isn't something that Hamlet wants to do. Hamlet is so weary of killing his uncle that he questions the intentions of the ghost. It was said earlier in the play that the ghost may onl .....

.... always wants to keep up the appearance of loving and caring person. Polonius appears like a man who loves and cares about his son, Laertes. Polonius speaks to his son with advice that sounds sincere but in reality it is rehearsed, hollow and without feeling. Polonius gives his advice only to appear to be the loving caring father. The reality is he only speaks to appear sincere as a politician, to look good rather then actually be good: "And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry. This above all: to thine own self be true, And it must follow, as the night the day .....

.... 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 (there are no stars in the sky)." (Line 5) Darkness evokes feelings of evilness, of a disturbance in nature on this fateful night. It creates a perfect scene for the baneful murders. Another disturbance in nature comes from Macbeth's mouth, "Now o'er the one half-world / Nature seems dead" (Lines 49 - 50). This statement might mean that everywhere he looks, the world seems dead (there is no hope). It might also gi .....
