Kate is the maiden daughter of Baptista Minola. She is widely believed to be a “shrew” by many. A “shrew” is a label given to hot-tempered, aggressive women. Shrews tend to have quite the tongue. Early on in this play, the audience witnesses constant insults directed towards the male characters around her. She also performs physical acts of anger against the men who provoke her. Kate does not act like a shrew because that is who she is; she acts like one because she is unhappy and desperate. Her…

POWER STRUGGLE IN LORD OF THE FLIES Power is believed to be the only thing stronger than fear.

Phaedrus believed that Love was the eldest of the Gods, and that made him the mightiest. His viewpoint on love is that when a person falls in love he/she should do anything to make the object of their love happy. I still believe that his theory on love can be applied to the modern day, now more so than before. As Phaedrus explains, Chaos is the only god that is older than Love. That makes sense because after Chaos, Love is needed to get things back on track. The world now is full of…

The meaning behind Shakespeare’s “To be, or not to be,” soliloquy in III.i.56-90 of Hamlet has been debated by readers since its debut performance. It is because of its fame and history that the “To be, or not to be,” soliloquy has been interpreted to have numerous meanings. Many view the soliloquy to be a testament on the suffering mankind endures throughout life. “Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer

There are many reasons for violent acts.
