343 words
In the play Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare,
Brutus had many flaws such as he trusted people,
he had a conscience, and he had a lust for power.
Many times in the play he made mistakes. He
probably made more mistakes in the play then any
other character. Like other tragic heroes, Brutus
had great promise and ability. One of the many
ways Brutus was a tragic hero was that he trusted

Macbeth His Fear And Conscience
796 words
... the Proser points out: "With this crime
conscience is all but repressed completely. No
'horrid image' raises its head. Macbeth's only
acknowledgments of conscience are reflected in the
haste imposed upon the decision and in his failure
to commit the deed himself. " Although he is
afraid in the deepest part of his sterile heart,
the tyrant will not stop even when his present
life is meaningless, "a tale told by an idiot" (V,
v, 26 - 27). His past full of evil deeds is no
longer important eith...

... I will never forget. When my fish neared the
boat, I felt more energized than I had when the
fish first struck. At my fathers command, I netted
the fish and hauled it into the bottom of the
boat. I was nearly bursting with exhilaration.
Released from the net, the fish dropped to the
bottom of the boat with a hollow thud, and my jaw
dropped with it. I stared in complete horror at
the violently thrashing fish which was now at my
feet. Within minutes, all of the fish's vibrancy,

'not Guilty But Accused' Guilty But Accused' Responsibility
1,105 words
In this essay I want to explicate the intuition
that literature demands an ethical response that
not only precedes interpretation but also serves
as its basis. I am not arguing that the response
to texts should be ethical, but simply that it is
ethical before it is interpretive. The
interpretive position adopted by critics of
literature is determined not by the 'interpretive
community' to which they belong, nor by their "a
priori" biases and ideological perspective, but by
the responsibility the...

Positive Attitude Short Term

We all want to have a life full of success. Many
people assume without question that success is
essentially material, that it can be measured in
money, prestige, or an abundance of possessions.
These can certainly play a role, but having such
things is no guarantee of success. The success
that we should strive for is the ability to love
and have compassion, the capacity to feel joy and
spread it to others, the security of knowing that
one? s life serves a purpose, and finally, a sense

symbols are used that parallel major themes in the

a foreshadowing device as well. The first time
