He appeals to Brutus as a soft hearted guy only trying to pay respect for his dead friend and not trying to avenge the conspirators. Brutus falls for it, saying “he speaks by leave and permission….It shall advantage more than do us wrong” (3.1.245-249). Pretending to be on Brutus’s side help him to get what he wanted and fuel the audience. During Antony’s speech he used verbal irony to reach the crowd and cover up all the attacks he made against the conspirators. One thing that Antony said sarcastically that got the crow angry was “Let me not stir you up to sudden munity.
His swift action is also seen as an admirable trait as he sends Creon off to the Delphic oracle to find out the cause of the plague immediately. As a result the audience are automatically inclined to grow a liking towards Oedipus, as he shows the quality of a pious/dutiful man. However Oedipus’ strengths, unwillingly becomes his weaknesses when his hamartia becomes evident; his lack of information about his identity. Oedipus’ intelligence and assertiveness holds no match against the paramount nature of fate. His insults of Tiresias’ and his blindness, accusation of both Creon and Tiresias plotting against him, and the vicious handling of the old shepherd to extort information from him show his complete frustration in his determination to find the truth.
When Falstaff takes on the role of the king, dialogue between both characters begins as a game of wits. As clever remarks are made during the role-play conversation, cheers are heard from the crowd in both movie scenes to signify the friendly banter of wit taking place between Hal and Falstaff.

Often times, people have trouble when it comes to Shakespeare’s choice of words and how he lays out the discourse of his plays.

He made sure to put on a façade which would lead the King’s men to believe he was still a respectful and loyal man. He even went as far as killing another man to show his respect for the king and his (fake) anger about the king’s murder. Macbeth made quite a transition between the first two scenes of the play. Power was the catalyst for the change from a loyal to greedy man. People will do many things to claim power.

William Forrester believes himself perfectly fine until he is face to face with society, and has to overcome it. Sean Connery is an amazing actor and doesn’t fail us in ‘Finding Forrester’. He brings William Forrester to life as a man welling with energy despite his nuances. F. Murray Abraham plays the role of Professor Crawford, a bitter man everyday faced with his own failure, and one of the more shallow characters of the movie. The reason is how obvious his jealousy and racism are.
