In one point of the soliloquy, he describes life as a point in time when he has to "suffer-The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune" and "take arms against a sea of troubles". He does not appear to have the incentive to "suffer" and "take arms," but instead is considering just killing himself to ending it all. Shakespeare's has used the phrase "To die: to sleep; No more;" to give emphasis to Hamlet's view of death as a calm, and final rest. I do not agree with Hamlet’s viewpoint on life because I believe that death will not solve his problem. Hamlet soon realizes that he should begin to find a solution to his problems because he does not know the inexplicable value of
Additionally, Odysseus has come to the “sad darkness” of the Underworld and has to make a tough decision based upon freeing his mother or talking to Teiresias (11,190). As the epic hero chooses to talk to Teiresias over saving his mother, it emulates that he has changed into an impartial person by picking the choice that will have a greater affect on his life later
The stream of consciousness and antithesis is employed to portray the sacrifices of friendship. The contrast between the ambitions that they harboured and the despondency he is struck with is demonstrated when the narrator says “I really thought I’d be moving back this month. But I won’t of course. Not after blowing my exams.” The antithesis between hope and despair encapsulate that relationships unhinge the equality within a relationship and can be emotionally and psychologically fluctuating for the person making sacrifices. Tim Winton also demonstrates an antithesis between the present and the future, where people in a relationship are morally obliged to give up their future plans for the short-term pleasure of companionship.
In this quote, Hamlet ponders whether he should live and suffer the hardships of his life or die in order to end suffering. In this quote, it can be inferred that Hamlet thinks that life is synonymous with suffering. The reader can tell that Hamlet is tired of his life and how everyone can keep living their merry lives without the king, his father. The reader can feel this by the negative words that Hamlet says; such as, “suffer,” “troubles,” “outrageous.” The reader can also get this feeling when reading the suffering he sees with life: “"whips and scorn of time, Th'oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely, The pangs of disprized love…”(III, i, 70-74). Also here he is using words that are related negatively too, “whips,” and “scorn.” It seems like during this soliloquy Hamlet tends to lean more toward suicide.
But he changed from listening to his parents and trying to make them proud to finally doing what he wants to do. Todd Anderson Todd Anderson is considered a dynamic character because in the movie his character starts off as a timid and self doubting, and has no confidence in himself. Everyone expects him to be like his older brother. Later on in the movie he changed thanks to mr. keating. Mr. Keating talks him in being a free-thinking individual and leader, Todd Anderson was able over come the final obstacle of his instability only following after his friend Neils suicide.
The desire to initiate changes can either lead to positive or negative results. Keating wants his students to learn ho to be their own individual person and step out of the line of conformity. Neil has gained courage to defy his father but in the end loses his will and committed suicide. Charlie, who is definitely a nonconformist, has done things that eventually led to his expulsion. Todd’s change, however, has matured in a positive way and expressed himself when it really matters; he is the first
On past Halloweens, the local kids have broken windows, and worse, so I need someone to stay there the whole night to make sure no harm comes to my building. I will pay $3000 for anybody willing to do this, but I must be completely honest and disclose the fact that previous house sitters have run out of the house in the middle of the night because they were convinced the house was haunted by ghosts. Some of them were so scared that they went completely crazy and had to be committed to a mental institution. If you have the courage to accept this job, please call me. –Dick Shore, 917-555-1221 Finish this story.
They start off by stealing his bag and planting his maths teacher Mr Macallan’s wallet in it knowing he would get the blame because he couldn’t explain why it was there. They then steal their year’s report cards from the head of years office blaming it on Malarkey and they then only have to wait to see if he stays at Brook High or not, but while they await this verdict John Malarkey becomes more a threat to ‘the tailors’ than they are to him. The first Characteristic we hear of Malarkey in the book is that he is quite aggressive my evidence of this is “Come here I snarled as I grabbed his arm, hauling him into the empty classroom” This makes me think he is aggressive because he sounds as if he cant hold his anger so becomes aggressive towards Simon Penn. Also the fact that he hauled him into the empty classroom where hauled tells me that Malarkey physically threw Simon into the empty classroom. Another characteristic that builds the character of Malarkey is he is adamant “I might get to hear a few secrets if people believed I was a Tailor” This makes me feel he is adamant because it tells us he is eager to find out more about who he is dealing with (the Tailors).So he resorts to taking a member of the gangs black Adidas trainers because he knows that the trainers are like a trait or a symbol of the
He’ll always doubt her, for ever. So far, Iago has given us the idea that he acts only in the rush of revenge and so, that he doesn’t really think through his ideas. The audience doesn’t know if he really has a plan, structured plan but we realise that he thought everything through and that he has quite a sick mind… It seams like he thought exactly what to say and how to say it before his conversation with Othello. We also realise that he predicts what could and could not happen and all his thoughts are resumed to his plan and it’s not totally right to call him “evil” because he’s actually using the truth “And what’s he then that says I play the villain? When this advice is free and honest”.
During this meeting, they discussed Holden’s academic failure and his unwillingness to conform to society and apply himself to his studies. Antolini has a paternal attitude towards Holden. He seems genuinely concerned about the boy and tries to help him realise that his irresponsible behaviour is spiralling out of control. He tells him he is headed for a fall and “the man falling isn’t permitted to feel or hear himself hit the bottom.”(Chapter 24, The Catcher in the Rye) He offers advice: “The mark of an immature man is that he wants to die nobly for a cause, while the mark of a mature man is that he wants to live humbly for one.” (Chapter 24, The Catcher in the Rye) The visit is relaxed and friendly. He doesn’t question Holden too much.
