Twelfth Night is a play which does not end happily for all its characters. Did this add to or take away from your enjoyment of the end of the play? In the concluding act of ‘Twelfth Night’, Act Five, there is a mix of emotions for all of the characters. During closing stages of the play, several of the characters are unhappy and confused, whilst others are happy and excited. During the play, one of the main themes is unrequited love. This always means that some would end up being unhappy…

His tone is rather rash and very demeaning, especially towards his own wife, whom everybody seems to believe is innocent except him and Iago. He calls her a “strumpet” (4.2.81) and a “whore” (4.2.72). She claims ignorance and innocence, but he refuses to believe her. Even when Emilia defends her, Othello is unable to hear any voice of reason. Again, this demonstrates the inferior treatment of the women in the play. Emilia is Desdemona’s loyal servant and stays by her side through all Othello…

Caesar's ghost spoke little, admittedly, and the message was trivial at best. But the fact is that there was a message, which sets a very distinct pattern for how Shakespeare uses ghost. Since Macbeth's ghost fails to deliver any message at all, and since it breaks the norm and is only seen by him, we can conclude that Shakespeare did not think of this as an actual ghost, but as a sign of Macbeth's guilt haunting…

of society any longer. The death of each woman is revolves around the conflict they were having. In Macbeth Lady Macbeth screams as if she is being murder by someone else, “Macbeth: Wherefore was that cry? Seyton: The Queen, my lord, is dead.”(Shakespeare 177). In The Awakening Edna kills herself by swimming into the ocean…

It seems like TLC, the station that produces the show, is only interested in exploiting the Gosselin children and treating them as commodities. They claim already to have seen signs of adverse effects and resentment among the children at the constant cameras zooming in on their every move. Every birthday party or outing for the children is organized by a production company with their eyes on the highest ratings. Kate, it seems, is only interested in her newfound fame, and not so much as in…

The friends and relatives of Romeo are one day confronted by the Capulets, followed by Romeo afterwards. The two groups begin a dispute which leads to the death of Mercutio, and when Romeo sees this, he kills Tybalt, the killer of Mercutio. This causes the Prince to take more serious actions as he says “…for that offence immediately we do exile him hence”. This refers to his decision of banishing Romeo for his actions. As a consequence of this, the distance and communication between Romeo and…

“We will proceed no further in this business. He hath honoured me of late...” He has decided to cancel the plan because of how nicely Duncan had treated him that evening. The amount of guilt was too much for him to bear so the easiest escape for him was to abort the business. To his misfortune, Lady Macbeth did not take the current news very lightly. She begins to bombard him with insults and various accusations. “Art thou afeard to be the same in thine own act and valour, as thou art in…

He also cleverly appeals to Brutus’ ego and sense of importance. Brutus’ sense of pride allows Brutus to overlook and justify the assassination of his mentor, friend, leader and fellow Roman. He also justifies actions with the idea of Caesars possible betrayal of Rome, the Roman government and the Roman citizens. Brutus clearly states that he has ‘no personal cause to spurn him [Caesar]’, that Caesar has done nothing to Brutus to give him reason to kill him, but it is more of a general concern.…

In her madness on her quest, Lady Macbeth is willing to take the risk of losing everything and she believes they will get away with it if Macbeth does exactly as she orders. After the murder she continues to persuade Macbeth by telling him “These deeds must not be thought after these ways: so, it will make us mad”, suggesting that if they don’t think about the murder then they can pretend it never…

passion of being a good human being but some of these fine humans had to loose in the storyline world of Shakespeare due to the great and catchy idea called “tragedy”.

One of these stories is known by the name of ‘Othello’ which is written by William Shakespeare. Othello is supposedly driven by the author to become a tragic hero; understandingly by these…
