At the start of the play, Hamlet was conveyed to be a story of bloody revenge. It begins with family drama, a ghost, and a promise of payback; but that is not how everything unravels. The majority of the play is exhibiting Hamlet’s inner-conflict with the concept of avenge. He considers the mortality of vengeance against Claudius, but the retaliation actually only lasts for a couple minutes in the last act. In my opinion, the play is more attentive to the ethical view of revenge than seeking it.…
This essay shall argue that the real fear is that the female villain is actually (according to the period’s ideas of gender) typically feminine in relation to Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein: Or the Modern Promestheus (1823) and Charlotte Dacre’s Zofloya: Or the Moor (1806). Throughout literature over the centuries, female characters have most often been portrayed as the gentler and more compassionate of the two sexes, displaying characteristics most closely and fittingly acquitted to mothers, the…
that the average individual would have been as heartless as the women’s views indicate. Her crime and “haughty”(45) demeanor may have offended the public conscience as her beauty threatened the other women, but the words coming from the women are as foul and repugnant as to compel the reader to take an opposite view, as Hawthorne must have intended. Thus the author reviews his feelings by creating such an extreme sentiment that the reader cannot take the women’s position but must abhor the very…
After spending the first month of my summer playing video games, eating junk food, and binging Netflix shows, I wanted to do something fun while also helping the community. Brainstorming ideas, my mom recommended volunteering at a senior center. While I was not interested at first, I wanted to try new experiences as much as I possibly could. The next day, we went to the Forsyth Senior Center and an old gentleman greeted us with extreme kindness. Asking about any volunteer opportunities at the…
I know that yetis are indeed real. The yeti is a huge ape like man that roams the mountains and forests. He is “variably described as a primate ranging from 6 to 15 feet tall”(“Sasquatch”) that stands on two erect feet . The yeti often gives off a foul scent, and either moves silently or emitting a high-pitched cry. Footprints of the yeti have been measured up to 24 inches long and 8 inches wide. Many sightings have been recorded of this beast, and most of them are clear pictures of this beast…
1. The person that is saying the quote here is Macbeth and he is talking to Angus and Ross. As Macbeth still thinks that the current Thane of Cawdor at the time was alive, he asks Angus and Ross why he was named the Thane of Cawdor. There are numerous literary devices associated with this quote with the obvious being the use of metaphor; however, more specifically, metonymy is used since the “robes” can be related with the Thane. Alliteration is also used with the first words “The” and “Thane”.…
The flickering flashes of neon lights were devoured by the gloominess of the decaying hallway, drowning under the foul odour of the mouldy air. Shards of fragmented glass rested on the corner of the polished marble floor. Silence hung in the air of the abandoned corridors, but it did not take long for the door handle to punch the brick wall and break the moment of silence, as thin cracks ran creepily across the surface of its face. But she didn’t care. Her rushing figure passed through the…
Ellis Island was a destination and a dream for many immigrants who wanted to start a new life. But for some Ellis island was a bad place because they had had heard stories about people being deported because of their bad manifests or documents about their history that where bad, for example like being a thief. But what had concerned most people was and the long, hard enduring journey that they had to face. “Ellis island was where all the immigrants went to find a new life” (Sandler, 7-8)…
