They will never forget what they learned from Keating. Some of them will continue to live their lives based on Carpe Diem forever. Even after all they endured with Keating being fired and Neil dying they still stood on their desks at the end as a gesture of nonconformity in a salute to Keating. The philosophies they found will allow them to escape lives of quiet desperation and live life like Thoreau and Whitman did. Source Page 1.
Edward de Vere had a father in law named William Cecil. He is believed to have been parodied as the character Polonius in Hamlets story. Only a man close to Edwards Father in law, being himself, could parody this man convincing is de Vere himself.

They would play practical jokes on the travelers, and this is what Hal encounters in his play.
Explore the ways that Tennessee Williams constructs the character of Blanche in A Streetcar Named Desire and Willy Russell constructs the character of Rita in Educating Rita in light of the opinion that they have the desire to escape reality and fulfil their fantasies. Despite being set in different periods of history, both plays ‘Educating Rita’ and ‘A Streetcar Named Desire’ share similar themes of the fine line between fantasy and reality, and losing yourself in the former. In 1945 Tennessee Williams began work on the play ‘A Streetcar Named Desire’, and with the war ending in the same year, the play to reflects the cultural tensions of World War 2. Many felt uncomfortable being an environment with so many nationalities they were only a few years ago at war with. Cultural tensions are present in Blanche’s remark that Stanley is a ‘Polack’; during World War 2, the Polish were seen as the enemy; Blanche using this insult is not because she is against Polacks, but is her taking advantage of the frequently used insult at the time.
Hamlet trusts Horatio to keep this secret and that is exactly what Horatio does, he keeps his word with Hamlet and doesn’t tell a single soul, as he should. Towards the end of the play Hamlet is slowly dying and Horatio says “…I’m more like an ancient Roman than a corrupt modern Dane./Some of this liquor’s still left in the goblet” (Ham 5.2.307-308). Hamlet replies with, “As thou'rt a man,/Give me the cup. Let go! By heaven, I’ll have ’t./O God, Horatio, what a wounded name,/Things standing thus unknown, shall live behind me!/If thou didst ever hold me in thy heart/Absent thee from felicity a while,/And in this harsh world draw thy breath in pain/To tell my story” (Ham 5.2.308-315).
Though the Joads lose two of their family members and a friend to death in the movie, book is a little different. For example, in the book, Tom dies at the end, and in the movie, it stops at chapter 20 in the book. John Steinbeck has received both positive and negative reviews, whether they were delivered during his time or during ours. It is known that Steinbeck was often misunderstood by critics and book reviewers, who would often include phrases like "experimental," "complete departure," and "unexpected" throughout reviews from the 1940s to 1960s (“John Steinbeck”). His reviewers seemed to completely dislike Steinbeck’s style of writing and to desire a transformation.
Murray, angered at this critical tenure review by men whose opinion he did not overly respect, went on leave from 1937 until the fall of 1941. After a year in Europe, he returned to the United States to work on his biography of Herman Melville, taking Melville through age thirtythree, when he finished Pierre. With the attack on Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941, the world changed, and Murray’s conception of himself and his work in the world also changed. Fighting against Nazism and winning World War II became of greatest immediate importance, while exploring the unconscious had a lower priority. In response to a request from the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), predecessor to the Central Intelligence Agency, Murray finished by October 1943 a 227-page psychological study of Adolf Hitler, “Analysis of the Personality of Adolph [sic] Hitler, with Predictions of His Future Behavior and Suggestions for Dealing with Him Now and After Germany’s Surrender.” Much of this was later published, without adequate acknowledgement of Murray’s role, by Walter C. Langer as The Mind of Adolf Hitler: The Secret Wartime Report (1972).
Although they were composed in different contexts, the messages Junger conveys in ‘10 Things I Hate About You’ are the same as those that Shakespeare presented to his audience in ‘The Taming of the Shrew.’ While ‘The Taming of the Shrew’ and ‘10 Things I Hate About You’ were composed hundreds of years apart and reflected their difference through utterly different contextual values. Both ‘The Taming of the Shrew’ and ‘10 Things I Hate About You’ scrutinize the themes of patriarchal social hierarchy, gender roles and love alongside relationships. In ‘The Taming of the Shrew’ the significance of these themes are articulated through the effective use of Shakespeare's dramatic techniques, which emphasize the social principles for the Elizabethan context. Likewise in ‘10 Things I Hate About You’ a reasonable perception is produced towards the post modern society through Junger’s use of expert film techniques. Although both texts vary in context, they still posses the resemblance in relation towards the messages and themes conveyed.
Who is Responsible? “The fearful passage of their death marked love, And the continuance of their parents rage, (Act 1, Pro.,9-12) Which, but their children’s end, naught could remove, Is now the two hours traffic of our stage;” From the beginning of this play, the reader (or viewer) can tell that the two “households” do not like each other and death was in the near future. This quote from the Prologue in Act 1 shows how Romeo and Juliet's love is marked by death from the beginning. In addition, many of the events that take place in Romeo and Juliet lead up to the final conclusion of the couple dying. There are many characters in the play that have a role in and the couple dying, but there is one specific person who sticks out.
One of the main themes of “Hamlet” is Hamlet’s musings on the nature of existence, especially in his “to be or not to be” soliloquy. The same question of life purpose applies to Stoppard’s main characters as they struggle searching for significance. In the play “Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead,” Tom Stoppard raises the question of life purpose and significance through Ros and Guil to allow the reader to be forced to deal with the questions themselves. From the beginning of Act one, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern lack purpose and identity. While flipping the coin, simply killing time, Ros doesn’t look too much into the coin always landing “heads… eighty five in a row,” however, Guil looks at the results with deep thought.
