well, for the matter of fact all i had to do was make this up and it worked.... i hope. a central motif in the play is trickery or deceit, whether for good or evil purposes. counterfeiting, or concealing one's true feelings, is part of this motif. everyone seems to lie; good characters as well as evil ones engage in deceit as they attempt to conceal their feelings: beatrice and benedick mask their feelings for one another with bitter insults; don john spies on claudio and hero; don pedro and his 'crew' deceive benedick and beatrice. who hides and what is hidden?
Divine/Natural Law vs. Human Law If it hadn’t been for Creon’s law that no one could or should bury Polyneices, Antigone’s brother, there would have been no story for Antigone. This provided the theme of the contest between divine law and human law. Natural law states that there are standards for right and wrong that are more fundamental and universal than the laws of any particular society, or human law. Creon showed that he had no concern for divine law when he proved his inhumanity by declaring that Polyneices would receive no burial because he was a “traitor” of Thebes. Antigone, on the other hand, has what Creon lacks.

It can be suggested that Shakespeare presents this character in a negative light throughout the play in order to have the audience view his choices and actions negatively too. However, in Great Expectations, it may be argued that Dickens aims to make his audience more sympathetic to Pip and his situation, and therefore allows us to see Pip’s choices in a more positive light. 2. Main – prove my argument * Macbeth – presented negatively – uncontrollable, easily led, power driven, fear vs. bravery, treason What choice did he make? What influences did he have?
Author O’Brian also confuses the reader by writing his novel as if everything that was told took place in the real world. For example, just by saying “this is true” (64) doesn’t always make it true. O’Brian leaves it up to the reader to distinct what they see the story as: reality or fiction. It is said that “a true war story… makes the stomach believe” (74). Author and character O’Brian tell the story in such a way to make it believable that the two different people are really the same person.
From chapter one, we enter into the world of Amir’s guilt and secrets. Despite their difference Amir and Hassan were inseparable but the shameful events of what took place at the end of the kite tournament would change that for ever. There was nothing Hassan wouldn’t do for Amir even risk his own life. This was obvious when one day; they got into a confrontation with a boy named Assef and his two friends. Assef idolized Hitler and hated Hazaras.

Hamlet’s Sanity Hamlet’s sanity has been a debatable topic since William Shakespeare’s Hamlet was first written. Many scholars have argued that Hamlet is insane after he meets the ghost in Act 1; however, many scholars believe that Hamlet is quite sane throughout the entire play, and he is just putting on an antic disposition. Antic means to play a joke on someone, and disposition means mood; therefore, antic disposition most nearly means to put on a fake mood to fool someone. This is exactly what Hamlet plans on doing after seeing the ghost “As I perchance hereafter shall think meet/ To put an antic disposition on” (1. 5.
