Act One Scene Banquo And Fleance
805 wordsIs Lady Macbeth the real villain of Macbeth? (500 words) I don't believe that Lady Macbeth can be seen as the real villain because she is only part of the reason why Macbeth decided to kill Duncan and Co. If she hadn't have promoted the idea of Macbeth being King he would never have killed Duncan. This is because Macbeth is a little soft, where's Lady Macbeth is someone who wants to get in there and get the job done to better herself. Macbeth seemed to like the idea of being King until he found ...

1,484 words... ow awful Macbeth is as a King, and what a horrid person he has become from killing. He even kills his best friend, Banquo, which again shows the enormity of the situation.

Act One Scene Speech In Act
1,546 wordsFirst performed in 1603, Hamlet, The Prince of Denmark is one of the best known works of William Shakespeare. But while Hamlet has been the subject of admiring critical commentary since Elizabethan times, it has also developed a reputation as a difficult work to analyze, one that features a very complicated central character, addresses many complex themes, and presents the reader with a multi-layered text which defies easy interpretation. The character of Hamlet is one of the most compelling cha...

Act One Scene Love For Ophelia
1,843 wordsHamlet The character of Hamlet is one of the most compelling characters to ever rise from the pages of English literature. He has been subjected to numerous interpretations and studies over the centuries, his actions and thoughts analyzed and analyzed again. And this, probably more than anything else, is the reason for Hamlet's enduring appeal. Indeed, I believe that the dilemma faced by Hamlet is in some ways the same dilemma faced by civilized man at large. As a reader, I can come to any numbe...

819 wordsFrailty thy Name is Woman When Hamlet says Frailty, thy name is woman in act one, scene two, he is lashing out at his mother for her quick remarriage to his uncle after his father s death. His statement acts as an indicator of Hamlet s perception of all women throughout the play. The men around them control both Gertrude and Ophelia in particular.

In all of these religions the concepts of good and evil have been present.

Iago Plan Act Three Scene
2,352 wordsMy first impressions of the play as a whole were that it was quite predictable and straightforward. As the play continues there is a huge climax so, of course, I was expecting a really unexpected twist and Iago to be discovered. Since Iago has created mistrust between most of the characters you expect him to be caught out. As this happens, it just shows how predictable the play is. The end is more realistic and this makes it much sadder. By Othello killing himself I think that this means he coul...
