Blindness In King Lear
855 wordsA reoccurring theme in Shakespeare's King Lear is the theme of blindness. Blindness in todays society is generally interpreted as the inability of the eye to see. In Shakespearian terms, blindness is not a physical state of being, but rather a temporary mental flaw. The theme of blindness in King Lear is clearly shown through the actions of Albany, Gloucester, and King Lear. Albany suffers from the classic case of blindness. Albany is blinded by love. Although Albany disagrees with Goneril's cru...

Adam And Eve Mary Shelley
1,139 wordsIt is evident that the themes in Frankenstein are by no accident. I will take a philosophical look at three themes that interest and stand out most to me. Death, as we know it, is inevitable. Mary Shelley incorporates death into her piece in a way that I havent seen before. It takes a role in nearly every other aspect of the novel. Another theme is just the opposite of death: life. Frankenstein becomes obsessed with learning about death, and then, he becomes obsessed with prolonging or creating ...

Discernment Between Religion Deceived By Tartuffe Orgon
517 wordsTrue identity is often masked by the personality one wants to portray. This is especially true of Tartuffe, a character in Moliere's controversial comedy, Tartuffe (1664). In the five-act play, Moliere uses the characters to convey the idea of discernment between religion and false piety. The setting of the play is in Orgon's house. Orgon is a man who leads a life of wealth and happiness. His family consist of Elmire, his wife, daughter Marine, and son Damis. Also presiding in the house are Mada...

Avenging His Father Death Avenge His Father Death
1,229 wordsThe most notable line by Hamlet in William Shakespeare's play Hamlet is " To be, or not to be, that is the question. " Hamlet's statement defines the central theme of the play and provides the reader with insight into Hamlet's psychological dilemma. His self-inquiry is a projection of what will occur in the play. Again and again, Shakespeare brings us back to Hamlet's plight: can he act or is he paralyzed by cowardice? Throughout the play Hamlet is unable to come to a concrete resolution of aven...

Lack Of Insight Cordelia Is The Only Daughter
1,455 wordsIn Shakespeare's "King Lear" the issue of sight against blindness is a recurring theme. Blindness, in Shakespeare, is a mental flaw some characters posses, and vision is not derived from physical sight, it includes mental intuitiveness. King Lear and Gloucester are the two examples Shakespeare incorporates this theme into. Each of these characters' lack of vision was the primary cause of the unfortunate decisions they made, decisions that they would eventually come to regret. The blindest of all...

Prince Of Cumberland Lady Macbeth
1,484 wordsInnocence is a quality that few people take to their grave, although all are born with it. At some point in one's life, an event or circumstance removes that shield from both moral and legal guilt, whether in one's own eyes or in the eyes of another. In such a case, innocence is cast off, or innocence can be stolen. Both are true of Macbeth in William Shakespeare's tragic work Macbeth. The hero's innocence and name make him vulnerable prey for those who feel completely at home in a subhuman real...

State Of The Union Woodrow Wilson
1,276 wordsThe modern presidential campaign covers every issue in and out of the platform from cranberries to creation. But the public is rarely alerted to a candidate's views about the central issue on which all the rest turn. That central issue -- and the point of my comments this noon -- is not the farm problem or defense or India. It is the presidency itself. Of course a candidate's views on specific policies are important, but Theodore Roosevelt and William Howard Taft shared policy views with entirel...

Romeo And Juliet Feud Between The Two Families
797 wordsRomeo and Juliet is a play filled with lots of irony. It contains verbal irony, dramatic irony, however it is most famous for its ending witch is full of situational irony. The irony that I am describing is in Act 5, Scene 3. This is the climax of the play as Romeo and Juliet both kill each other for each other by a mere accident.
