Romeo has no control over the bad event that is to occur, it is his fate. Romeo says that the misfortunate event will lead to his death. “But he that hath the steerage of my course direct my sail” (1012). A metaphor is being used in this passage because Shakespeare compares Romeo’s life to a course. The he referred to in the passage is fate.
This is exemplified by Charlie Dalton when he refused to do his walk when Keating ordered them to do so and when he changed his name to Nawanda which is a unique name. Keating encourages his students to don’t just consider what the author thinks when they read but consider what they think themselves; quoting Thoreau who said “Most men lead lives of quiet desperation. Don’t be resigned to that. Break out!” Emerson also wrote “To believe in your own thought, to believe what is true for you, in your private heart is true, that is genius!” Another element is the concept of “Carpe Diem” which was demonstrated by Knox who seized the day when he finally acted upon by his desire to call Chris. The third element is spirituality in nature as shown by the recitation of poem and the chanting of the boys in an Indian cave.
Even if it is written about all the bad things that could happen, it tells you to live your life because either way you will die. In Shakespeare’s Hamlet, Polonius gives advice to his son Laerte. The tirade can be compared to ‘If’ as Shakespeare chose to use a didactic tone. Also each line is divided into different parts. It starts with what you should do but then compromises it.
cathouse . . .” his tone of voice and the choice of Steinbeck’s punctuation makes it clear he could see the emptiness of the freedom he claimed to be losing by being with Lennie. Being alone would make him another victim of the cyclical structure and reduce him to be an ordinary migrant worker. When he says ‘I want you to stay with me’ suggests leading and supporting Lennie gave meaning to George's life, along with some sense of power and control.
We must learn to grasp what life gives us and turn things that are negative to positive. In Hamlet’s soliloquy, he attempts to reason out whether death is any easier to bear with than life. I have come to examine that Hamlet does not assign a value to his life. He thinks that death will be better than living life. 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".
The boy may have wanted an end to his suffering. So much of him was lost and he would never be the same as he was before. Perhaps his parents do not know what is best for him The values of the contra-characters the medical establishment and the ALD foundation were evident as Indifferent focused only on protocol. These are the values the movie wishes us to see. There was concern for prolonging the suffering and an interest in following rules as to limit any harm coming to a human test subject.
Alonso King of Naples and father of Ferdinand. Alonso helped Antonio in usurping Prospero’s dukedon in the early years. Alonso may have made some errors in the past, but he isn’t an evil-natured man, because throughout the play he seems aware of his past actions and he regrets them in the end. 1.He is also very naive because he doesn’t notice what Antonio and Sebastian are planing, which is to kill him so that Sebastian cam be king (this is shown at the end of the scene. Pg 83 L199-201 “I see... your head.” 2.In this scene alonso is devasteted because he thinks his son died when the shipwreck happened during the return journey from his daughter’s wedding in Tunis(pg 75 L102-105 “You cram... is lost-”).
Many led to the downfall of Dorian Gray; however, the main reasons are Lord Henry’s influence, the idea of Hedonism, and Dorian’s conscience. Lord Henry’s intentions to influence Dorian are evident in chapter 1 when Basil says, “Don’t try to influence him. Your influence would be bad.” Basil knows that Lord Henry’s influence is going to be primarily negative and knows that Dorian is going to become infatuated by him. This ignites Dorian’s flame for Lord Henry; he sees this as a challenge. Later in their friendship, we start to see that Lord Henry is merely stirring thoughts that Dorian already had inside of himself and was just afraid to let them be known.
However, unlike Hamlet’s first two major soliloquies, this one seems to be governed by reason and not frenzied emotion. The topic of Hamlets soliloquy is his consideration of committing suicide. It is obvious that Hamlet is over thinking and wavering between the two extremes, life and death. “Whether ‘tis nobler in the mind to suffer The sling and arrows of outrageous fortune Or to take arms against a sea of troubles, And by opposing end them”(III,I,56-60). In this quote, Hamlet ponders whether he should live and suffer the hardships of his life or die in order to end suffering.
It has been argued by Goethe that the reason Hamlet failed to avenge his father’s death was because he did not have the inner or physical strength. He argues Hamlet does not have the attributes of a hero. But this can be argued because all throughout the play Hamlet demonstrates that he has the strength, emotionally and physically. Therefore it is obvious that the only reason hamlet did so was because he was a man of great philosophy, so typically he thought too much, and in doing this it became the tragic flaw in his character. Which everyone knows will lead to his downfall.
