The ideals that Shakespeare questions are still prevalent within the issues of our society, no matter how different the context seems to be. Shakespeare makes us question, consider and re evaluate our opinions through realistic presentations of reality. The text Henry IV: Part One addresses a few of the most vital issues concerning humanity, that are, always have and always will be a part of our lives. The approach to leadership is solely dependent on personal needs and influences, just as perception of the value of life can only be determined contextually and how honor depends on how one conceives themselves. Through the reflection of Shakespeare's ideas through two 21st century responders, altering dramatically in context, it is evident that Shakespeare and his literature, in particular, Henry IV Part One continues to be relevant to the modern 21st century responder.

There are a few indicators that may make it worth reading. First of all, its plotting is arranged according to time. Plotting the novel chronologically is important, especially since our course of study(history) is mostly based on timing. A great example of how to show the effectiveness of time order is on page 78, “For the next seventy years, until the outbreak of the Civil War in 1861…” It’s both crucial and interesting, because if we get lost somewhere in these long sentences that the writer uses throughout the entire novel, we can catch up or understand it better, later in the reading. Also, in most of these long sentences, the author writes descriptively to enhance our sense of history, to make it seem like we are actually there, watching the stories in front of us, in the present.
The Perception of Young Hamlet’s Final Soliloquy By the Elizabethan Audience One must essentially be wheeled back in time, to gain sense of what Shakespearean plays are all about. William Shakespeare’s plays happen to be creations of time and were explicitly meant to entertain and entice the audience of the mid-1500s to the early-1600s. The Elizabethan times were quite different from the present day, and to understand the underlying connotations in Shakespeare’s plays, his past, his performances, and the conditions he lived in must be looked upon. The particular play of interest Hamlet was a play he wrote in 1602 during the last few years of his life. This was the same time period in which he had penned many of his successful tragedies including Othello, Julius Caesar, Macbeth, and King Lear.
It is a late December night the last moment of the final month of the year, and the weather is depressing. The narrator is home alone reading a book next to the fire, attempting to be at peace about his lovers death. Edgar Allan Poe then is separated by two personalities in his works of “The Raven.” There was a man of terror and dark crimes, and then there was man of loyalty and devotion. The raven that referred to his memories of
He argues the ‘actors are the true inheritors of Shakespeare’. Pacino presents this intention through the use of an elliptical structure, beginning and ending with an excerpt for Propero’s speech from Shakespeare’s final play The Tempest. Pacino fashions the excerpt to allude to authorial intrusion of Shakespeare commenting upon the stage and actors. Accompanying the narration is a montage of a desolate tree and Gothic church to the tolling of a church bell. This is symbolic of Pacino establishing the end of an era of Shakespeare dominated by the establishment to instead, one owned by actors.
Quote: “ All the world’s stage.” This quote is stated in the book, “ As You Like It.” This quote was quoted by, one of the world famous poet, Shakespeare. This quote contains powerful message.

This quote means that the narrator still remembers that night that his girlfriend dies and he is in great sorrow for his lost for Lenore. Therefore the subjects of the two poems differ from one another. “The Raven” and “The Road Not Taken” is different and similar from each other. The moods of the two poems are similar. The mood of “The Road Not Taken”
The authors explain that the Julius Work Calendar was used as a guide, both spiritual and temporal, on how people should live their lives in the year 1000. Unlike modern workers, who might perform the same tasks on every day of their work year as part of an unvarying schedule, the ordinary person in the year 1000 needed to vary his or her work tasks dependant on the season. Lacey and Danziger explain, in some detail, the difficulty in developing a universal calendar that Britons and others experienced; however, in the eighth century, a working calendar was created. From this original calendar, the Julius Work Calendar evolved, noting “Golden Days,” the “Kalends,” “Nones,” and
Eliot structures Rhapsody on a Windy Night into six stanzas according to changes in time. Various time periods are mentioned: ‘Twelve O’clock’, ‘Half-past one’, ‘Half-past two’, ‘Half-past three’ and ‘Four O’clock’ drawing emphasis to the obsession human society has with manufactured time in order to create structure and routine. Indeed the emphasis on time and routines is evident in modern day society as even the most basic of our routines, such as eating a meal, is based on the time of day, not when we are hungry. The theme of time throughout Rhapsody on a Windy Night is carried throughout Eliot’s poetry as he continuously mentions words associated with time such as ‘Six O’clock’, ‘evening’ and ‘night’ symbolised in my visual representation by the images of the sun, moon and clock. The repeated mention of enforced time in Rhapsody on a Windy Night is quite ironic as Eliot refers to this poem as a rhapsody, which is the name given to an improvised musical composition which often evokes
