First Confession One Side
1,716 words... , and wondered were all religious people like that, really. It was my turn now. With the fear of damnation in my soul I went in, and the confessional door closed of itself behind me. It was pitch-dark and I couldn't see priest or anything else. Then I really began to be frightened. In the darkness it was a matter between God and me, and He had all the odds. He knew what my intentions were before I even started; I had no chance. All I had ever been told about confession got mixed up in my min...

Modern Day Tragedy Of Macbeth
698 wordsIn this play a group of three cruel and disturbed witches were used to display evilness and chaos that will eventually corrupt Mac Beths well being into mass murder. In Act 1 Scene 3 the theory of modern tragedy can be shown by the use of special affects, sound and setting. In Act 1 Scene 3 the use of special affect demonstrated that it was a modern day tragedy. There wasnt any doubt that lightning and storms were the most energetic way of showing how mysterious and horrid the three witches real...

Macbeth Not A Play Of Fate
872 wordsWilliam Shakespeare's Macbeth is not necessarily a play of fate, but rather a tragedy that occurred as a result of uncontrollable greed and malevolence by Macbeth and his wife. The weird sisters only make suggestions about Macbeth's road to kingship; they do not cast spells to make true all their predictions. These interpretations lead Macbeth and Lady Macbeth to kill Duncan and secure the title Thane of Cawdor. While in kingship Macbeth elects to kill Banquo and his son, Fleance, for Macbeth wa...

Morrow And To Morrow Lady Macbeth
951 wordsThe good characters in Macbeth are less interesting than the evil ones. I agree. Everybody has an evil seed planted in them. Only the really evil person acts on them and commits something morally wrong. Like Macbeth. When Macbeth first received the prophecies, he actually considered them. Two truths are told, but what is not (line 137 - 152, Pg 27 - 29). We see him arguing with himself and feeling disgusted that he even thought that. That was interesting because we get the feeling that something...

Ambitions To Commit Evil In Macbeth
638 wordsIn Shakespeare's play Macbeth, one could argue that Macbeth is motivated to commit his evil acts by three forces. For example, the witches in the play give him the first idea that he will be king. In addition, his own ambition starts to take over later in the play. Lastly, Lady Macbeth pushed and provoked him constantly to commit these evils. So even though Macbeth committed these acts, there was more influence then just his ideas. The three witches in the play are a pretty big influence on Macb...

Satan As A Sympathetic Hero In Paradise Lost
844 wordsIf one were not imbued with the preconceived separation of Satan and God into evil and virtue, then the reader of John Milton's Paradise Lost would undoubtedly judge Satan the poems hero and God as the ruler of an oppressive hierarchy in heaven. By his use of characterization and tone, Milton's Satan becomes the sympathetic martyr of Paradise Lost. Christianity paints Satan only in terms of evil: a jealous, sinuous snake, that tempts man to disobey God. However, the Bible fails to further analyz...

Thane Of Cawdor Face To Face
1,153 wordsForetelling the Future Macbeth by William Shakespeare, is a play about a man who sacrifices everything he has to become king. There were many factors that led to Macbeth degenerating from a noble warrior, to a fallen king, however I believe that, it is because Macbeth learns beforehand in Act 1, that he decides his place is upon the throne. Most of the play is foretold in Act 1, through Lady Macbeth, and of course through the witches, who reveal more to Macbeth then he ever possibly knew. In Act...

765 wordsMacbeth: A Tale of Two Theories Macbeth (c. 1607), written by William Shakespeare, is the tragic tale of Macbeth, a virtuous man, corrupted by power and greed. This tragedy could in fact be called A Tale of Two Theories.
