Life Cycle Good Night
661 words
Both Auden's "Musee des Beaux Arts" and Dylan's
"Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night" can be
seen as having a theme of tragedy. Both concern
the topic of death, although each has a different
message. Auden is one side of the spectrum saying
that death and suffering are natural parts of the
life cycle, while Thomas wants to fight death
because there is still much to be done. But
throughout both of these poems tragedy is a
prevailing theme. Auden describes how the world
continues spinning in spi...

Three Weird Sisters Macbeth And Lady Macbeth
831 words
Banquo is very direct with these witches with his
confusion, as he bluntly states that he is
confused by them because he is unsure on whether
they are in fact women or men. The fact of these
characters being witches foreshadows the idea of
this play containing other "supernatural" things,
which we the reader come across later on in the
play. Macbeth and Lady Macbeth's relationship is a
"different" kind of relationship. In the
beginning, Lady Macbeth is introduced to the
reader as this evil woman...

Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Claudius And Gertrude
1,021 words
It seems that it is human nature to want to please
others, but compromising ones values in order to
do so can result in people getting hurt
emotionally or physically. In William
Shakespeare's Hamlet, the desire to please those
in authority overweigh's the judgement of many
characters. These characters are more interested
in pleasing those in power than doing what is in
their best interest. This is seen in Polonious'
eager attempt to use Ophelia, in Rosencrantz and
Guildenstern's being coerced in...

reason of death also effects a child, including
how that child was interacted with the death

are taken into account by the child when assessing
their loss. (19...

Railway Lines Black Clippers Poem
363 words
Derek Walcott's Old New England is a poem
concentrated upon the history of the beginning of
New England colonies in America, but instead of
presenting our past as a triumph, he manages to
illustrate our most prideful moments as a
dishonorable time period. By mentioning harsh
things and using vivid imagery, it fabricates the
poem to seem like a conviction rather than an ode
honoring the country. Symbolism is used quite
regularly in this poem. For example, the war whoop
is coiled tight in the whit...

... In fact, at the time, although Venice was
considered Europe's cultural capital, it was seen
to have certain drawbacks, especially regarding
promiscuity and the diminished role of fidelity in
marriage (Tillyard 134). Add to this the fact that
Iago is dealing with a man who has only recently
been engaged in wedlock and therefore is less
certain when questioned about his wifes character.

Analyzing Hamlet Sanity In The Play
1,625 words
Hamlet and his sanity can arguably be discussed.
Two ways that this could be so are discussing the
possibility of "his loss of control in his actions
or his ability of dramatic art" (Hamlet's
Madness). When we first met Hamlet he is in a
state of despair. He is an emotional young man who
is struggling with the death of his father. At
this point; his entire life is consumed by
depression. This to me is presumed as normal, for
a person who as suffered a lost, of someone dear
to him or her, as was ...
