Soliloquy

Lucifer, the light bringer, and the most beautiful angel at God’s side. He shined brighter than all the other angels and had the most power next to God, but that was not enough. Cast into hell because of his pride and beginning to want nothing more than the power that was God’s and God’s alone, the fallen angel, Satan, is now commonly known as the ruler of all things evil, destructive, and bad. When thought of today, Satan brings to people’s minds things such as torture and sin, nothing at all…

hatred for a person" (Wikipedia 1). The term also refers to situations where we experience mixed feelings of a more general sort, or where someone feels uncertain or indecisive concerning something. An example of ambivalence is Hamlet 's soliloquy in Act 3.1. This soliloquy displays Hamlet’s ambivalence and dilemma, which is whether or not to kill himself, whether he should face his troubles or simply put an end to them by committing…

I have chosen the song, Three Cheers for Five Years, by Mayday Parade, for Hamlet's “To be or Not to be” soliloquy. This song fits quite nicely for this scene considering it is a song which is about a man who is trying to figure out his life. Just like Hamlet is attempting to do with his life right now. The first line of lyrics which fit the scene is, “I thought we could wait for the snow To wash over Georgia and kill the hurt.” Showing that events are not going exactly the way he thought they…

Name: Jocelyn Toh Sze Lyn Candidate Number: 2259 School: Tenby International School Penang Centre: MY401 _______________________________________________________________________ How does Shakespeare present the theme of deception in Macbeth? Throughout the play of Macbeth written by William Shakespeare, events always have a twist to them. Deception, which is defined as “the act of tricking someone by telling them something that is not true”, can be seen in the play through the main characters…

In the Tennant version of Hamlet, it is the title character that is most distinguished in directorial decisions. Sporadic and energetic, this incarnation of Hamlet lacks the philosophical quality found in the text. The youth of Hamlet is easily read in his behaviors, contemplative but not slow. Tennant’s Hamlet can be particularly distinguished by his interactions with Polonius. Mocking and sharp, Hamlet’s madness can be more easily interpreted as an act when he has back-and-forth conversation…

Hamlet’s Insanity There have been many arguments as to if Hamlet is insane or not. This is a topic that a lot of people have concerns about. Some believe that Hamlet has always been insane because he has really negative thoughts in his own soliloquy when he is talking to himself. Others say that he was never insane at all and he was just acting it all out as a part of his plan that nobody could know of. At the beginning of the play, Hamlet does not seem to have any negative thoughts about…

In Act 4, Scene 4 of Hamlet, Hamlet is doubting his ability to come through with revenge. In the beginning of the soliloquy, he calls himself “a beast, no more”, rather than a man since all he does is sleep and eat (3). He does not understand how someone can think continually without translating that thought to action. He questions that if he really was a man why has he not taken the advantage to reason like all other men. Hamlet thinks that it could be his “bestial oblivion” of just eating and…

He seems to be incredibly disappointed in his mother for marrying Claudius so soon after the King’s death, and makes this obvious at multiple occasions. The first of these happens during one of Hamlet’s soliloquies: “And yet, within a month (Let me not think on’t; frailty, thy name is woman!), a little month…O God, a beast that wants discourse of reason would have mourned longer, married with my uncle, my father’s brother, but no more like my father than I…

I was impressive to watch “44 Plays for 44 Presidents” created by CU Department of Theatre. This show represents the specific stories of every previous president of the United State from their personal lives. The stories are visualized through actors with 44 different characteristics in short length of time or approximately 4 minutes. Based on the entire play, I would recommend CU Theatre’s production of 44 Plays for 44 Presidents because it has the awesome design elements, especially lighting…

The lines 1-35 of Act 4.3 from William Shakespeare’s King Richard III show Sir James Tyrrel’s encounter with King Richard, after the murder of the two princes --- Edward Prince of Wales and Richard Duke of York. He seemed guilty as he explained the brutality of the two murderers he hired, Dighton and Forrest, who smothered the two young brothers in their sleep. Even as a ruthless killer, Tyrrel was still astonished by the methods Richard used to consolidate his position and power. After he…
