Then the women try’s to get revenge bye poisoning the man’s new lover. Macbeth was written sometime between 1603 -1606. However it was set hundreds of years in the past. This is because Shakespeare was trying to show the issues at his time such as: The relationship between cruelty and masculinity, The Corrupting Power of Unchecked Ambition and The Difference between Kingship and Tyranny. As king James 1 was the king of Scotland and England he has based the play with him in mind and in Scotland.
Wagner was such an opponent because he represented the disease of decadence which plagued the culture and from which Nietzsche suffered for a time, but of which he also cured himself. In other words, Nietzsche emphasized his overcoming and revaluation of Wagner because he wanted his readers to understand it as a metaphor for his larger battle with decadence in general. The goal of this portraiture is to demonstrate on an individual level what could be done on a cultural level to revitalize culture. Through an analysis of Nietzsche's portrait of Wagner in the late period, I will claim that in order to understand Nietzsche's revaluation of decadent values in nineteenth century German culture, one must understand his relationship with the composer. From The Birth of Tragedy, where Wagner's music represented the hope for the re-birth of pre-Socratic Greek culture to The Case of Wagner, where Wagner was the artist of German decadence par excellence, Richard Wagner always personified nineteenth century Germany for Nietzsche.
The True Meaning Behind Candide Candide is a literary work by Francois-Marie Arout, more commonly known by his penname, Voltaire. Candide, otherwise titled Optimism, is the tale of a young German lad named Candide and the adventures that he undergoes. While the plot of the novel is interesting, the book is considered a classic because of the not-so-subtle humorous ridiculing of everything that Voltaire wished to mock. Voltaire ridicules the church, the state, and everything in between through the use of allegory. Voltaire used certain literary techniques and language, such as humor, in order to effusively express his contempt of what was happening in his world.

We must tell him, it will cause more damage if we don’t tell him soon. Come Stylistic Techniques Shakespeare uses personification in line 78 with “his doublet all unbraced”, though unbraced is referring to his shirt it can also be directed to Hamlet himself unbracing reality. A strong image is used in line 83 when Ophelia refers Hamlet to being “ loosed out of hell” this leads us to believe that not only is Hamlet insane but now angered. Syntax is used in line 84 when again Ophelia says that Hamlet “is to speak of horrors”, this again is trying to show Hamlets hostel intentions.
Palazzi 1 Lucas Palazzi Ms. Pearce ENG-4U 23 July 2012 A Hateful Hamlet in his First and Last Soliloquies In the play Hamlet by William Shakespeare, the main character Hamlet is a tough character to analyze. The play offers many possible interpretations of Hamlet’s true character, making him a difficult character to describe. However, by analyzing his soliloquies in the play, one can gain a better understanding of Hamlet’s thoughts and motives. An effective approach to this is to compare Hamlet’s first and last soliloquies. By finding the similarities between the two soliloquies, one can figure out what aspects of Hamlet’s character remained the same throughout the play, therefore catching a glimpse of his true character.
Definition of Distinctive Voices A distinctive voice may be interpreted as one that is unique in its context as it resonates in the audiences’ mind due to its effective use of literary techniques. Definition of Distinctive voices in Pygmalion George Bernard Shaw’s ideas can be considered as a distinctive voice because he was one highlighted the issue of genteel poverty and the notions of strict social hierarchy that was a characteristic of early 20th C. British Culture. Shaw’s purpose in all of his artistic endeavours was to enlighten his audience about the inadequacies of the old morale code pertaining to social discrimination and, thereby sought to encourage a change in approach to the social perceptions of class. Examples of how the definition of DV is portrayed in Pygmalion The play captures the setting of Shaw’s contemporary era: the very early 20th century in London. During this time society was divided into distinct classes and Shaw staged his first production of Pygmalion in 1914 at His Majesty’s Theatre in London.
The word “discomfit” bears a great significance to the play’s theme examined through the ideas of Shakespeare’s irony, choice of diction, and chiasmus. The word “discomfited” (1A) according to the Oxford English Dictionary, can be defined as “Defeated in battle; beaten, routed; vanquished.” There is no doubt that this definition of the word is the one in which Shakespeare was applying to the play because the word was stemmed in 1538, a few decades before the play was written. This word is spotted a mere two times in the play. It may be overlooked as significant, yet if it is investigated by the mirroring correlation taking place between these characters, there is a strong connection. Both times the word appears in the play, it is spoken by King Henry referring to The Earl of Douglas.

Summary: This report is based on the study of Hamlet, the hero in the play, who is proven to have complex personality traits. Throughout the play, Hamlet acts as a dynamic character since his personality is greatly influenced by the news of his father’s death, his mother’s remarriage, and his uncle’s conspiracy. Due of Hamlet’s various and constantly changing characteristics, it is hard for audiences to fully understand this character. After a close study of the character’s speeches, actions, and reputations in other characters’ eyes, I am organizing and presenting my findings in this report, and hope it can assist further studying of the play.
