Heaven And Hell Hamlet Realizes
1,926 wordsHamlet is continuously wanting to do something but does nothing. He is forced to make decisions based on his moral and religious beliefs. Hamlet is as little of the hero as a man can be. He is incapable of action, and is only hurried into extremities on the spur of the occasion when he has no time to reflect. At other times, when he is bound to act, he remains puzzled, undecided, and skeptical. He dallies with his purposes, until the occasion is lost. Hamlets first scene with his mother reveals ...

Mine Own Loves Fear Of Trust Line
519 wordsThis sonnet demonstrates Shakespeare's great ability of playing with words. According to him a person is tongue-tied when he has either too much or too little to say. He illustrates his idea by giving an example of an unperfect actor who forgets his lines on stage and more curiously, some fierce thing whose heart is weakened by the weight of his own strength. This use of paradox adds intensity to the sonnet and lays the foundation for the following quatrain. The first quatrain is like the silenc...

Play Was Written Act 1 Scene 5
1,463 wordsIn the play Macbeth, I think Shakespeare, the author, uses characters in the structure of the play to a large effect. In Act 1, I think Banquo was used by Shakespeare as a contrast to Macbeth; they are close friends, and have similar personalities, but when they are each prophesied great things by the witches, Banquo does not become as ambitious as Macbeth does. I think this shows that Lady Macbeth played a large part in influencing Macbeth to murder Duncan and attain what was prophesied for him...
