.... the audience regards as fact is fiction as he explores the uncertainty of human existence. When an audience of the 1960's went to the theatre, it can generally be assumed that they had preconceived ideas about what they expected and what they are going to gain from the theatrical experience. The traditional attitudes towards theatre and the conventions of realist drama are disrupted by Pinter. This confronts the assumptions and values of the audience, an experience which would be disconcerting and frightening to many. Pinter divorces and exposes society's codes, institutions .....

.... lieutenant, using Desdemona's prime weakness; her naivety. He disgraces Cassio by intoxicating him enough so he strikes Roderigo. Othello then discharges Cassio of his Lieutenancy when he says: "Cassio, I love thee,/ But nevermore be officer of mine" (II.iii.242-244). It was therefore understandable that he would fall to the mercy of Iago, completely oblivious to the inevitable effects. Iago reveals his plan to the reader in his third soliloquy when he states: His soul is so unfettered to her love, That she may make, unmake, do what she list, even as her appetite .....

.... spoken too quickly or acted out of rage or ignorance and hurt himself and others. When Polonius spies on Hamlet and the Queen, Hamlet thinks that it is the king who is spying behind the curtain, and without knowing who it really is he stabs Polonius and kills him. Polonius also has the same problem, but with much tamer results. Polonius usually ends up just making himself sound like a babbling fool by not thinking things out first. He never really hurt anyone and his slaying by Hamlet’s sword makes Hamlet seem more the fool. This foil gives Hamlet the image of a violent pe .....

.... Before entering, Romeo replies to Benvolio, “ I’ll go along, no such sight to be shown, but to rejoice in spledor of mine own.” (I,iii, 105-106) It is evident in the opening scenes that there is conflict between the households of the Montagues and the Capulets, whom which Juliet belongs to. If Benvolio did not suggest to Romeo to go to the ball, Romeo would have never laid eyes on the beautiful Juliet and fallen in love with her. At the same time, Juliet has also fallen in love with Romeo. This scene is the beginning of the two soon to be lovers fate. Romeo’s fate starts .....

.... Her collars of the moonshine's watery beams; Her whip of cricket's bone; the lash of film; Her waggoner a small grey-coated gnat, Not half so big as a round little worm Pricked from the lazy finger of a maid: Her chariot is an empty hazle-nut Made by the joiner squirrel, or old grub, Time out o' the fairies' coachmakers. And in this state she gallops night by night Through lovers brainsand then they dream of love; O'er the courtier's knees....”(ActI Scene iiii lines 62-73) Mercutio tells this story because that is the way he fe .....

.... Before going out, the gang goes to the "milk bar" for some "milk plus" which is riddled with amphetamines. The first violent act came not more than ten minutes into the movie. It was when the boys, led by Alex, beat a helpless wino that asked them for some change. The gang then strode away as if nothing occurred. They struck him repeatedly with canes and they kicked him a few times to the job. Next, the boys went to see a rival gang. This other group was in the middle of raping a woman when Alex and Company came in and intervened. They proceeded to beat the other gan .....

.... his life. That John Proctor is brave, is obvious but ha can also be very extreme at some times. An instance of Proctor's extremity was when he shouted, "I say - I say - God is dead!"(Pg. 119), and that he will see all of them burn in hell. That statement implied to the court that Proctor worshipped the Devil and committed perjury. When Proctor tore the warrant issued for the arrest of Elizabeth showed his ability to defy the court and in a way his religion because the court was controlled by religion. Keeping Mary Warren from court was extreme because he was keeping her fro .....

.... Jealousy was one of he emotions that played an important factor in this play. For example, When Abigail stated, "now look you. All of you. We danced. And Tituba conjured Ruth Putnum’s dead sisters. And that is all. Let either of you breathe a word. About the other things, and I will come to you in the black of some terrible night and I will bring a pointy reckoning that will shudder you". (1044) This quote shows how Abigail would make the girls jealous by the way she is taking control of them and manipulating them not to speak a word of what happened and to convince them to k .....
