Gertrude is the beloved wife and mother in the
play, Hamlet. Many say that she is responsible for
Hamlet's agony in not being able to proceed with
his revenge, and Claudius' hesitation to guard
himself through the destruction of Hamlet. She is
the woman who was "my virtue or my plague, be it
either which, " for both of her loves, and is
herself a very ordinary person. Seemingly
beautiful and warm-hearted, she has no mind of her
own, and is vulnerable because she tends to be

lovers who are destined to be together. Their two
families hate each other bitterly, which forces
them to realise that they would rather be dead
than live their lives apart. In this essay I am

Why is it that people fawn Shakespeare and have
unreasonably high regard for his works, including
The Tempest, and label them as "immortal
classics"? Indeed Shakespeare's works had great
significance in the evolution of English
literature, but these works, including The Tempest
are mostly devoid of significance and literary
value in the present day. One can expect to gain
little educational benefit of the english language
or heightened appreciation for fine literature
from the reading of Shakesp...

Act 3 Scene 4 Scene 1 Lines

In Shakespeare's Hamlet, it can be argued that the
playwright shows a profound dislike of women. I
agree with this opinion; it can be seen through
their actions in the play, the way they are
treated and general phrases and monologues on
their weaknesses and flaws that are scattered
throughout the play. The two main female
characters in Hamlet are Ophelia, Hamlets lover,
the daughter of the kings prime minister Polonius,
and Gertrude, Hamlets mother, the widow of the old
king Hamlet and the wife ...

Persuasion The evil that men do lives after them,
/ the good is oft interred with their bones (Act
3, Scene 2, Line 76). Simply put, after a mans
death, only the evil that he did is remembered;
the good is often forgotten. However, Antony's
persuasive speech at Caesars funeral is one to be
remembered. After Brutus oration, the plebeians
thought Caesar was a tyrant and that Brutus did
right to kill him. Antony convinces the plebeians
that Caesars death was unmerited, and that the
conspirators sho...

Tragedy treats human beings in terms of their
godlike potential, of their transcendental ideals,
of the part of themselves that is in rebellion
against the implacable universe and the frailty of
their own flesh and will. This quote is very
applicable to Hamlet in respect to his reverence
towards his father and his belief in the divine as
the guiding principle, Hamlets own character flaw,
Hamlets feelings of hopelessness over his own
flaw, and his view towards the pointlessness of
even existing. ...

Hamlet Hamlets Hamartia Hamlets Hamartia Hamlet is
the most written about tragedy in the history of
man. But, why is it a tragedy? Is it because
Hamlet has a tragic flaw that creates his
downfall? Or is it that all the cards are stacked
against him since the beginning of the play and
there is no way he can prevail? I believe that it
is a tragedy because of Hamlets tragic flaw.
Hamlets tragic flaw is that he cannot act on
impulse for things that require quick, decisive
behavior, and that he acts ...

1 Henry Iv HENRY IV 1 Henry IV is a play that
concerns itself with political power and kingship
in English history. References to kingship are
prevalent throughout the play, especially in the
depiction of the characters. Although most of the
characters in this play could teach us about
kingship, I would like to focus my attention to
Prince Henry. I think that this character helps us
to best understand what kingship meant at this
particular time in history. First, it is important
to get a backgro...

Any great accomplishment Pride PRIDE Any great
accomplishment can make someone feel proud about
their work. It makes one feel good; it raises a

points. (The Toronto Star, Nov 1999) Then again,
there are also the bad points of pride one must
consider, before being proud. Pride can deceive a
