1,589 wordsMacbeth - Imagery Russell Doherty Imagery of clothing in a way is associated with the imagery of Appearance and Reality, but it has a specific relevancy of its own. Macbeth's new honours do not all fit him, as they belong to someone else.

Act Ii Sc Act I Sc
958 wordsIn Shakespeare's play The Tempest, the cast of characters are squeezed into some archetypal roles. Prospero is our noble hero, Miranda is the beautiful maiden, Antonio is the closest thing we have to a villain.

Act Ii Sc Hamlet Is Mad
1,981 wordsIs Hamlet Mad? Perhaps the worlds most famous mental patient, Hamlets sanity has been argued over by countless learned scholars for hundreds of years.
