King Lear Act Ii
654 words
One of the primary themes portrayed in "King Lear"
is the harsh effects of betrayal by one's loved
ones. Incorporated in this message is the fact
that such betrayal can be avoided with sound
judgment and temper, and with patience in all
decisions. Shakespeare uses the motif of madness
to aid in this message. Anger and insanity are
coupled to illustrate the theme, and they both
cloud the judgment of characters in various ways.
A contrast between actual insanity and fabricated
madness aids in the ...

Claudius And Gertrude Antic Disposition
1,095 words
The character Hamlet in Shakespeare's Hamlet may
be considered eccentric at least, insane or
deranged at worst. While Hamlet is assuredly a man
of ineffable wit and infallible intent, his mental
foundation is made of sand; he is very foolish,
impractical, extravagant; senseless, as Websters
dictionary defines Insane. While Hamlet never
loses his ability to reason, his antic disposition
causes him to become foolishly extravagant, to
which no purpose is served. His show of insanity
is far too conv...

Shakespeare's play Hamlet, Polonius uses these

Hamlet: Emotional States Hamlet went through
various emotional states because of different
unfortunate circumstances that confronted him. Yet
Hamlet never went so far over the edge so as to
not come back from reality, yet for reasons
psychological, he procrastinated actions that he
should have taken, until it was too late. I will
first discuss Hamlet, the origins for his queer
behavior and if it twas feigned or not. In the

Child Was Born Fell In Love
1,974 words
Dionysus was the god of the vine. He invented wine
and spread the art of tending grapes. He had a
dual nature. On one hand, he brought joy and
divine ecstasy. On the other hand, he brought
brutality, thoughtlessness and rage. This
reflected both sides of wines nature. If he
chooses, Dionysus can drive a man mad. No normal
fetters can hold him or his followers. Dionysus
was the son of Zeus and Semele. He was the only
god to have a mortal parent. Zeus came to Semele

Don Quixote Knight Errant

In medieval times, knight-errant's roamed the
countryside of Europe, rescuing damsels and
vanquishing evil lords and enchanters. This may
sound absurd to many people in this time, but what
if a person read so many books about these
so-called knight-errant's that he could not
determine the real from that which was read? Such
is the case in The Adventures of Don Quixote by
Miguel Cervantes which takes place probably some
time in the fifteenth or early sixteenth
centuries. Don Quixote, formerly Qui...

Edgar Allen Poe Cask Of Amontillado

Edgar Allen Poe Edgar Allen Poe. The name evokes
morbid and quite psychotic imagery just from the
mere sight of it. That is, from the few stories I
have read in his name. He is a man of great
intelligence that cannot be denied and sadly, a
man of great madness that can also not be denied.
He describes feelings of innate and morbid
tendencies within the human psyche, that are
completely realistic, yet unfathomable to human
ethics. In the few stories I have read, which
include: The Cask of Amontil...

Ghost Of His Father State Of Mind

Throughout Shakespeare s play Hamlet, Hamlet is
described as mad by the other characters: as he
encounters the ghost of his father in Act I, as he
kills Polonius and confronts his mother in Act
III, and ultimately when he confronts Laertes and
Claudius in the final scene. But this madness is a
broad term used by the characters, and
Shakespeare, to refer to the actions taken by
Hamlet while he is in this state of mind. With all
things taken into account, this lunacy can
actually be seen to be a f...
