It immediately needs to be pointed out that Hamlet is a man of a very high education.
While growing sick of his wife, Hera and her jealous attitude, Zeus took the shape of an eagle and kidnapped Ganymede against his will. Zeus then brought him to the Olympus while keeping Ganymede in his bosoms to be his lover.

For example, Aeolus is easily bribed to wreck havoc against Aeneas’ fleet by Juno’s promising him an exquisite nymph for a wife. Juno has obviously favoured him in the past. He concedes that he owes her for everything she has done for him. However, like a pair of bickering children, the territorial sea god Neptune chastises his sister Juno and calms his sea.

Ye gods, it doth amaze me/ a man of such a feeble temper should/ So get the start of the majestic world,/ And bear the palm alone”(126-129). Cassius reveals that he’s been thinking about overthrowing Caesar.

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. The major issue is the fact that he rapes Nicole: But when Larry is telling Francis “he’s tired” and “he wants to go” this shows that something mysterious is going on in Larry’s mind but Francis listens to Larry because he is a hero and everybody listens to Larry
