Act 2 Scene Don Pedro

Benedick Transformed To what extent is Benedick
changed by the end of the play, and how does
Shakespeare make this clear to us? At the
beginning of the play, Benedick appears as almost
a comic character, acting as if the most important
part of his character is his wit. However, by the
end of the play it becomes obvious that he is a
clear-thinking character who is able to take
action and keep his head in a crisis. The change
in Benedick's character is accompanied by the
change in his relationship...

The two main characters in Shakespeare's play,
Macbeth, are Macbeth himself and his wife Lady
Macbeth. Their marriage seems to be mainly one of
convenience for Lady Macbeth, but for Macbeth it
is clearly more than that. He loves his wife, and
she takes advantage of that for her own gain. She
is continuously making him feel guilty, for being
weak, and for not being able to give her a child,
as is suggested by her words, "I have given suck
and know how tender 'tis to love the babe that
milks me." ...

In Shakespeare's Macbeth, the repercussions of
Macbeth murdering his King are very numerous.
Through themes which include, imagery,
soliloquies, atmosphere, and supernatural beings,
Shakespeare enforces the magnitude of Macbeth's
crime. Most of these factors are linked together.
One of the main ways in which the horror of the
murder is underlined is through the Great Chain of
Being. At the time this play was written, it was
believed that there was a hierarchy in the

Claudius And Gertrude Hamlet And Laertes

I do agree that the characters in this scene are
portrayed in a very ambiguous manner. At this
point in the play, many of the characters are
masking their real feelings; this is usually quite
apparent in their language and behaviour on stage.

used to display the characters ambiguity,
especially with the characters of Hamlet and
Claudius. Only Hamlet is alone on the stage at any
one time, and is therefore the only character who
