Characterisation is extremely similar in the play and film. In each text, Macbeth has an extensive moment of doubt before murdering Duncan, and again, when the feat is completed, both feel dreadfully guilty. After killing Duncan they both know that they have done the wrong thing and were pressured into doing so by their wife. Instead of using a soliloquy, Brozel uses a slow dolly in onto Joe to underline the thoughts, emotions, and most of all regret that is running through his mind not unfrequently. This new uncertain and anxious Macbeth is just like that of Shakespeare's.
The recurrent “unclean hands” motif establishes the torturous and debilitating feeling of guilt that stains ones soul and conscience after having committed an evil act. These feelings of guilt plague Macbeth throughout the story and slowly drive him mad following his horrifyingly immoral murder of King Duncan. Shortly after completing the heinous act, Macbeth shouts, “Will all great Neptune’s ocean wash this blood/ Clean from my hand?” (Macbeth 2.2.78-9) while removing Duncan’s blood from his hands. Although Macbeth succeeds in ridding himself of the actual evidence, he fails to remove the permanent mark left on his conscience that haunts him until his death. Lady Macbeth also portrays the “unclean hands” motif through her actions when she suddenly beings sleepwalking and gesturing with her hands as if she is washing them.
Bernard’s actions hurt him a lot and he feels emotionally hurt. His excellence brings him a torture which others think is a treatment to kill his excellence. Also, Ender’s excellence is disliked by others when colonel Graff uses his sister to add torture toward Ender. Ender’s one weakness, his sister Valentine’s love is abolished by colonel Graff so that Ender will have no
She tries to be reasonable, saying, "Why, worthy thane, / You do unbend your | |noble strength, to think / So brainsickly of things" (2.2.41-43), but he's paralyzed with horror. Finally, she has to do what he should | |have done. She takes the daggers from him, carries them back to place them with the grooms, and smears the grooms with the King's blood. | |When she returns, Lady Macbeth hears Macbeth talking about his bloody hands, and she comments, "My hands are of your colour; but I shame / | |To wear a heart so white" (2.2.61-62). She means that her hands are red, too (because she has been busy smearing the King's blood on the | |grooms), but that she would be ashamed to have a heart as white as Macbeth's.
His fingers become covered with a yellow stain and people think that he is hygienically unclean. He forces Toby to do the paper round but exploits him and does not give him his money which angers Toby (221); he has to pawn his rifles. He is referred to as a “sissy” because he initially he does not want to fight Arthur. He abuses him because he discards the almost-empty mustard bottle (171) and when Dwight strikes him despite his finger injury, Rosemary finally knows she must remove Toby from the household.
This coolness forces the audience to feel sympathy towards those subject to warfare. This backs up Dawes ideas in weapons training that war makes people less sensitive, demonstrated by the sexist and racist attitudes shown, for example ‘turning the key in the ignition’ which suggests he thought of women as merely ‘devices’ and ‘Charlies are coming at you you cn smell their rotten fish sauce breath hot on the back’ which displays a strong hatred and disgust towards the enemy.which is commercial television at the beg Dawes has written the poem in subtle mocking tone by using over-enthusiastic words such as ‘roaring empyrean’, ‘shrapnelled with rapture’, ‘passion’ and ‘hope of
Holden’s character appears to be: sordid, emotionally deep, and compassionate but his emotions interfere and are revealed. When Holden hears Sunny’s “tiny little wheeny-whiny voice”, he notices that it was even harder to hear her because “she was very nervous, for a prostitute” (Salinger pg. 94). Sunny’s pronounced personality traits immediately impact Holden; her neurotic behavior gave Holden an insecure impression and her childish voice made her appear immature, which made Holden think of her youth, making him feel immoral. Holden once again notices Sunny’s humane nature when she says, “ like fun you are”, instead of saying a more bitter response (Salinger pg.94).
Scout pays back her cousin Francis for nasty comments he makes about Atticus by punching him in the face, though the reader can sympathize with her need to punish him for his mean streak and his manipulation that gets Scout into hot water when he blames her for the entire incident. (He is not weaker, but does not play fair, and Scout has a strong sense of playing fair, as she points out to Uncle Jack at the
Of course the Macbeths realized the severity of their deeds and guilt crept on in on them. Macbeth is losing his cool and begins having conversation with himself. He ask “will all great Neptune’s ocean was this blood; Clean from my hand?”and he proceeds to answer with “no , this my hand will rather; the multitudinous seas incarnadine, making the green one red”( Macbeth II ii 57-60). The roles soon reverse and Lady Macbeth complains of blood on her hands. Saying “what, will these hands ne’er be clean?
Was hospitality an empty gesture in ancient Greece? You could look back to Circe, Calypso, and the suitors of the Odyssey, as they all point to one answer. Hospitality in Greece is a central value, however the most hospitable, or the people who take the most advantage of hospitality are often those with ulterior motives. Circe breaks hospitality when she invites men into her home to turn them into swines. Circe had invited Odyseeus’s crew into her home, she filled their bowls with a wonderful stew but “Once they’d drained the bowls she filled, suddenly she struck with her wand, drove them into her pigsties, all of them bristling into swine” (Homer 237, 261-263).
