A short essay cannot investigate all instances of this occurrence in all works of the author, but could provide the reader with the major categories. This way, deception will become more recognizable and appreciated as a major element and a spine of the particular story. In two of the most famous Shakespeare’s plays where deception appears as a building block of the story are Hamlet and Othello. In Hamlet the prince uses deception as a tool to distract attention and hide better his strange but vital moves and activities necessary to gather enough information regarding Claudius. The deception comes in the form of fake madness.
The authors, Caroline B. Cooney, Harper Lee and William Shakespeare wrote violence in their novels and games. Enter three witches, writes the author that people who do not like them and is angry perhaps meets a violent end. In To Kill a Mockingbird, Lee wrote that people who are racist are dishonest and possibly will also meet a violent end. Shakespeare also argues that people who do not, except that others will gather the tragedy. Cooney MacBeth uses to prove his thesis; then Bob Ewell Lee uses the character to prove its case, and Tybalt Shakespeare to prove his point.
There is much evidence in the play that Hamlet deliberately feigned fits of madness in order to confuse and disconcert the king and his attendants. His avowed intention to act "strange or odd" and to "put an antic disposition on" 1 (I. v. 170, 172) is not the only indication. The latter phrase, which is of doubtful interpretation, should be taken in its context and in connection with his other remarks that bear on the same question. To his old friend, Guildenstem, he intimates that "his uncle-father and aunt-mother are deceived," and that he is only "mad north-north-west." (II.

“King Lear is more sinned against than sinning.” ‘More sinned against than sinning’ If we are going to look up its definition on the internet, it informs us that it is an expression used of those who, though they may be guilty of wrongdoing, think themselves the victim of a more serious wrong. But let me try my best to discuss how Shakespeare explores this in King Lear. At the beginning of the play, the reader could immediately see that Lear, though he bears the status of King he is, as one expects, a man of great power but has already committed two significant mistakes – disownment of Cordelia and banishment of Kent. He decides to divide his kingdom and it is clear that Lear himself brought about the separation of his family with his love trial having to ask his three daughters, allotting the portion to their declaration of love towards him. He sins against his whole family and by thinking that love can be quantified.

Evan McGalpine - The Merchant of Venice - Shylock Critical Essay 'Shylock' from William Shakespeare’s 'The Merchant of Venice' is the character I have chosen to analyse, because through Shakespeare’s characterisation of Shylock, we find him truly fascinating and confusing as a character as we dislike him, yet sympathise with him, simultaneously, throughout the play for his various actions, There are some we agree with and others we do not. 'The Merchant of Venice' is about a man named Bassanio who wishes to travel to Belmont in order to win a beautiful lady's hand in marriage, named Portia. Although Bassanio does not have the money to impress her, nor get there. He asks to borrow money from his friend, and the merchant of play's title, Antonio. However Antonio's assets are currently out on his fleet of ships, and so he cannot give Bassanio the money, but he does advise him to speak to a money lender to obtain the money he requires.
[4] He is known for many executions, including those of his mother[5] and the probable murder by poison of his stepbrother, Britannicus. He is also infamously known as the Emperor who "fiddled while Rome burned", although this is now considered an inaccurate rumor,[6] and as an early persecutor of Christians. He was known for having captured Christians burned in his garden at night for a source of light. This view is based on the writings of Tacitus, Suetonius, and Cassius Dio, the main surviving sources for Nero's reign. Few surviving sources paint Nero in a favorable light.
