The basic difference between a dramatic monologue and a play also means that different techniques are used to convey the disturbance. Lady Macbeth Right from her first appearance in the play, Sh shows us a character who does not react in an entirely rational way. On reading the letter, her mind immediately goes to murdering Duncan; she shows none of the doubts that assail Macbeth, she does not even consider any other ways that the prophecy might come true, as he does, but is simply determined that he “shalt be what thou art promised”
Jane Eyre Final Essay In many novels, readers often do not know how to indentify a character as being purely evil or purely good. Morally ambiguous characters are at the heart of many works of literature. In Jane Eyre, Mr. Rochester is characterized as a morally ambiguous character through his actions, his significance to the novel, and his multi-sided personality. Morally ambiguous characters usually play a pivotal role in a novel. Mr. Rochester’s actions determined Jane Eyre’s reaction, which shaped the whole novel.
She has no sense of what is wrong and right, and believes that it is perfectly moral to so the deed of murder. She states that to not go through with the deed would be horrible to yourself, and that you would be coward in your own eyes. “Wouldst thou have that which thou esteem’st the ornament of life, and live a coward in thine own esteem,” She states that if she was Macbeth and did not jump at this perfect opportunity, that if a child, being fed at her breast, where as Duncan is, King, She would tear it from her and “dash’d the brains out” to have the opportunity Macbeth had. This shows how mad and sadistic she was. She had absolutely no self- conscience, and thought nothing about the wrong they were soon to commit.
Was Jocasta truly as strong as she was portrayed? Jocasta served as a dynamic character, as previously mentioned she was strong-willed, confident and bold not holding her tongue from anyone. We see early on in the play when Oedipus and Creon are arguing, Jocasta shows no hesitation in reprimending them, "Poor foolish men what wicked din is this? With Thebes sick to death, is it not shameful that you should rake some private quarrel" (pg.1222 lines 118-120). We see through this example that theres no favortism being shown between her husband Oedipus and brother Creon, yet she is seen as one who is fair-minded and rather blunt to a certain degree.
At the same time, the use of fairytales in a writer’s own work creates a uniqueness which appeals to many readers Why do writers often choose fairytales to barrow from instead of other literature like Shakespeare or Homer? “What readers know varies so much more than it once did. So what can the writer use for parallels, analogies, plot structures, references that most of his readers will know?”(Foster 59). “While we may not know quite what to think about Hamlet’s treatment of Ophelia or the fate of Laeters, we’re pretty darned sure what we think about the evil Rumpelstiltskin” (Foster 59). * Fairy tales are often alluded to in literature by writers because for on e, fairytales are easier to understand then the works of Shakespeare and Homer.
Lady Macbeth was stronger in handling the situation, expressing almost no emotions over what her husband did. As Macbeth was expressing the faults of his responsibilities, Lady Macbeth comforts him by saying, “Consider it not so deeply.” (2.2.41) and “These deeds must not be thought / After these ways; so, it will make us mad.” (2.2.44-45), reassuring Macbeth with lack of care, not to fret over what he has done. Macbeth cannot bare what he had just done, however, showing clear signs of anxiety and guilt, as he says, “Methought, I heard a voice cry, “Sleep no more! / Macbeth does murder sleep” –the innocent sleep”
The play “The Tempest” by William Shakespeare and the movie version directed by Julie Taymor in 2010 have several significant differences in the characters, relationships and themes. They both have similar themes, such as Good vs. Evil, Revenge vs. Forgiveness, Betrayal, Colonialism and the Illusion of Justice. These themes are both present in the movie and the play, but they are altered by the fact that the main character in the play is Prospero and in the movie it is a witch named Prospera. Comparing the play with the movie, there are several differences in the way the characters are chosen, how they act and how the surrounding is set out.
Larry also has an affect on the heroism aspect of the novela. In my opinion Larry LaSalle is not a hero, because despite helping Nicole become a dancing star “he made me feel like a ballerina” and Francis “a table tennis champion”, he still has a horrible secret. He is not even ashamed of attacking “sweet young things”. He himself asked “does that one sin of mine wipe away all the good things?” But you could argue that he has ruined as many lives as he has helped. He doesn’t seem to have a conscience like Francis does; he is amazed that Francis feels bad at all ”you wanted to die because of that?” This shows that Larry could be still ruthless and that it didn’t mean anything to Francis.
They clearly have an extremely passionate relationship and Shakespeare portrays that Lady Macbeth is willing to do whatever it takes to assist her husband. You could argue that the idea of potential power, or moving up the social hierarchy, goes to Lady Macbeth’s head and that her motivation for helping Macbeth is rather selfish-she alone wants the power. It could also be argued that the ‘fatal’, ‘gall’, ‘murdering’, ‘mischief’, ‘night’, and ‘Hell’ also support the previous point. The audience never actually meet the ‘real’ Lady Macbeth without the influence of the witches. As there is such a huge supernatural element to this scene and it is so carefully attached to Lady Macbeth in this scene, it makes me question how the Elizabethan audience would have reacted to her character.
LADY MACBETH: ‘Only look up clear’. ‘To alter favour ever is to fear’. ‘Leave all the rest to me’. What this quote shows is that when Macbeth speaks she quickly overpowers him with her manipulative mind and words bring him to a halt of what further he has to say and tells him that what is to happen will happen at any cost. (their shall not be any means of stopping the assassination/murder of Duncan the King).Also she takes charge over
