It becomes clear that Hamlet did truly love Ophelia, yet hid it because he was a coward. The “ White Lie” is not only depicted through Hamlet denying his love but also putting a front up for the selfish betterment of his life style. After his outrageous lecture on self worth that Hamlet gives Ophelia, she grows incredibly mad, which ultimately leads to her death. Although the intentions of his lecture were clearly to hurt Ophelia and gain power over her, once he realizes she is dead he feels the need to express his actual love for her. His change of attitude grows confusing as he professes his dear love after her awful death, “ I loved Ophelia.
From the ancient version, the evidence can be obviously seen that Helen is always be blamed by the others. For example, she is blamed by Odysseus as “a faithless woman.” He thinks Helen is willing to go with Paris causing “a Romantic adventure.” Moreover, she is blamed by the noble men of troy, they say, “Man must fight for such as she.” Also, Helen is regards as all that agony and death as they say to each other, “For her face was like to that of an immortal spirit.” The noble men of Troy are insulting her even she is staying by them.

Ruth, who suffers from her inability to distinguish reality from illusion, was a victim of a horrible relationship. She admits “ I had a boyfriend who tied me up and put me in a wardrobe so I wouldn’t run away” in the name of love. She tells the she “cried for days” after he left her. This twisted irony directly reflects her incapability to differentiate what is love and what she is told or deludes to be love. The play “Cosi” demonstrates that relationships that are based on love that is not genuine will easily perish, through exemplifying the failed relationships of the
Mr Bennet continuously provokes his wife knowing she will take the bait as Mrs Bennet gets easily flustered and aggravated. Mr Bennet intended to visit Mr Bingley all along but teases his wife merely for his own amusement. The opening line of the first chapter ‘It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife’ this is a particularly poignant statement as it is ironic in terms of its relation to the themes of the novel. Particularly in context with Austen’s own beliefs, Austen subverts seriousness of the acknowledged ‘truth’ with the relative frivolity of subject matter. The topics of ‘fortune’ and ‘wife’ are then related to ‘truth’ which ironically aren’t necessarily related as relationships and money aren’t proven to be honest in Pride and Prejudice.
Frailty In William Shakespeare’s “ Hamlet”, the author portrays the disgusted and depressing tone with the “Frailty” speech performed by Hamlet. The speech is based upon his mother’s dreadful decision of quickly remarrying, after her husband’s death, to his uncle. The targeting diction he has towards his mother, he is really upset with the poor decision his mother made, therefore leading to Hamlet targeting “woman!” in general and with the structured syntax. The weakness his mother has, the remarriage, that Hamlet quickly exposes deals with the disgust he has towards his mother. To begin with, is the targeting diction the author implies towards his mother in the speech.
By practically imprisoning his wife and demeaning her to a piece of property, he denies her simple rights to life and happiness. Meriaduc acts in the same way as the envious husband when he selfishly reunites the two lovers only to distance them again. Marie’s perspective on selfish love is clear from the first lay due to the fact that the two selfish lovers are effectively punished- the husband loses his wife and Meriaduc brings death upon his people- while Guigemar’s selfless love brings about his ultimate happiness when “he captured and destroyed the castle and
But it isn’t just a role reversal in her behaving as a man might. Lady Macbeth is more indecent and conniving because she has maintained her manipulative feminisms which ironically diminish her husband, making him appear weak and without resolve. In the end when she finally confronts her own conscience to know how horrible she has been, the Lady collapses, disintegrates and disappears. How awful. Over and over and over again Lady Macbeth challenges her husband’s manhood and his will to kill and seize Duncan’s throne in Act I:
Romeo, in an act of revenge, kills Tybalt. The Prince, trying to maintain peace, banished Romeo from Verona. The Nurse brought the news to Juliet “Tybalt is gone, and Romeo banished; Romeo that killed him, he is banished” (Romeo and Juliet 2. 2. 69-70 ) This made Juliet miserable over Romeo's banishment, meanwhile her parents thought her unhappiness was over Tybalt's death.
In addition, Jason curses himself saying, “My curses on you” (61), accentuating he should have known better the woman he had by his side, since he lacks knowledge such as Medea will murdering those who he holds nearest and dearest; his two sons and his bride. Jason believes he should have noticed Medea’s capacity for evilness and heartlessness long before, since she abandons her own family and kills her own brother. This demonstrates how Medea does not care at all about her actions; she only cares to make Jason suffer the pain she receives due to his betrayal. Jason’s catharsis develops when he expresses his pain “I must bemoan my fate” (61). He wishes to be left alone now to mourn his tragic losses which leave the audience to feel pity for him.
