Edmund accepted the challenge by saying “With the hell-hated lie o’erwhelm thy heart, which, for they yet glance by and scarcely bruise, this sword of mine shall give them instant way” (5, 3, 176-178). Edgar defeated his brother and evened out the balance of power through violence. Violence is not always used this way however. It is often used as revenge or punishment. In Act 3, Scene 7 Cornwall pulls out Gloucester’s eyes because he aided Lear.
"Part fools-Benvolio" "Turn thee, Benvolio; look upon thy death-Tybalt"(1.1) These quotes show that Benvolio,good, is trying to keep the peace but the fiery Tybalt,evil, is just starting up the fight again. "Tybalt the kinsmen to old Capulet, hath sent a letter to his father's house Romeo will answer it.-Benvolio" Here Tybalt is trying to start something with the nonviolent Romeo demonstrates the Good vs. Evil motif. Tybalt and Mercutio are always getting in Romeo's head. This does not allow Romeo to focus/see Juliet which may and probably will cause Romeo's depression which may contribute to Romeo's suicide.
This is because they are so different in so many ways, and so there is much to talk about when explaining their personalities and characteristics. Overall, Benvolio and Tybalt are depicted as complete opposites, and the foil of these characters helps as foreshadowing for later on in the play. If there was a situation in which Tybalt and Benvolio were about to fight, this is most likely what would be said by the two before and/or during it. Benvolio would say that he would like to keep peace between them, and would only fight if a punch was thrown. He said: “Tybalt shall either fight me or die” (1.1.102-105), showing that he would fight if it came down to it.
He dates a gum-smacking, wannabe country singer waitress from a diner but constantly cheats on her. Other than work and sex, he spends his time bowling with pals. Even though he chooses his lifestyle, Dupea is still dissatisfied with his life. Frustrated, he erupts into fits of torment and rage that obliterate his mask of sanity because he cannot escape the life he has left behind. The movie is just like its protagonist, in that buried beneath a disguise of superficiality lies brilliance, passion, and pain.
The reader second guesses their first opinion of him and sees a selfish side to him, as he is drunk at his cousins funeral with no regards to other peoples feelings. These are not the expected actions of a character whose sole purpose is to be comic. Act 2, Scene 3. Throughout this scene, Toby continues to show a different side to the funny personality he is assumed to have. There is something unpleasant about him and he is certainly not simply comic although he does provide some comedy.
Even to the point of the actual stoning was apparently treated as their usual conspiracy that jus simply takes place. The suspense that leads up to the ending of The Lottery does catch your attention and manipulates you to become eager for an outcome, which is a significantly crucial and brutal ending, that is greatly set up as a juxtapose compared to the beginning. Even with the noticeable signs of compassion for Mrs. Hutchinson, the beating upon her still continued without hesitation. Her last statements of the selection being unfair and the tradition not being morally right were simply ignored by the people of the town so that they may try to end the task as quickly as possible. It is stated in the story that they had forgotten the proper and initial ritual and lost the original box but felt that the tradition of this sacrifice would bring good harvest.
Dubliners: Theme Analysis Theme Analysis Poverty Although Joyce was born into a well-to-do family, his father's drinking soon drove the family into poverty. As a result, poverty is one of the major thematic concerns in Dubliners. Although Joyce never refers to his characters as "poor," he shows us their status through details. For instance, in "Two Gallants," Lenehan's abject poverty can be observed by the meager meal he consumes. He hasn't eaten since breakfast and late at night while he waits for Corley to return with money, he orders a meal of peas and vinegar with a bottle of ginger beer for his dinner.
The Cask of Amontillado Point of View: The point of view would be a first person point of view, told by the narrator. Characters: Montresor would be one of the major characters; he is a cold ruthless character, unsympathetic and a liar. I would consider him to be a round/static character round because he is well introduced not in the beginning of the story but throughout the whole story showing how much of a liar and how determined he is to seek his revenge. He would be a static character because he goes through no change through the story but only continues to reveal how much of an evil person he really is. He does not have an epiphany.
Greeks vs. Afrikaans “Good. Because what you’ve been trying to do is meddle in something you know nothing about. All that concerns you in here, Sam, is to try and do what you get paid for-keep the place clean and serve the customers,” claims Hally. The play “Master Harold and the Boys,” by Athol Fugard, starts the Afrikaan racist nation, in which Hally (Harold) lives. Hally’s father is a drunkard, who takes money from Hally for alcohol, and at times, does not care for Hally as a loving father should.
You know not what you do’’, but they didn’t pay any more attention to me, so I took out my sword. Tybalt came along and I said ‘’ I do but keep the peace. Put up thy sword, or manage it to part these men with me.’’ And he told me ‘What, drawn, and talk of peace? I hate the word, as I hate hell, all Montague’s, and thee’. You see that was too much and as Sampson and Gregory began to sword fight with Abram, Prince arrived.
