this play helps to develop the irrationality in
Macbeth's deed. A falcon, tow ring in her pride of
place, / was by a mousing owl had at and killed.
(Act 2. Scene 4. Lines 12 - 13). The irony in this
statement is that a mousing owl killed a falcon.
Falcons are associated with birds of prey more
than owl. In fact, the stereotype of the falcon is
statelier than the owl. It is like comparing a

Symbolism And Imagery In A Midsummer Night Dream
1,286 words
In A Midsummer Nights Dream, William Shakespeare
brilliantly uses the night as a motif which plays
a valuable role in the play. He combines this
motif with the related symbols of the play to
demonstrate the power of night and its correlation
with love and vision. He uses symbolism and
imagery to develop the motif and makes extensive
use of the night forest which, in part, helps the
situation of the four young lovers, one of the
main plots of the play. It might seem strange that
Shakespeare would...

The Crucible is a play written by Arthur Miller,

see the smallest glimpse of Iago's true feelings
for Othello. Though I hate him as I do hell

upon reflection of Othello, we need to identify
who fell. Obviously Othello and Iago, for their
