Friar Lawrence's The Cat In The Hat

Romeo and Juliet, a Shakespeare play written about two star crossed lovers. The forbidden love between Romeo and Juliet resulted in a great tragedy. There is one question that is asked now; who is to blame for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet? Friar Laurence is to blame Romeo and Juliet’s death. The Friar had good intentions, but sometimes the right decision is not always the best.

Thing 1 and Thing 2 are the pets that the Cat in the Hat brings along to show a different way to have fun. The Things are fantasy characters and are similar to the children. They both do not know how to have fun but the children do not do any action they just sit unlike the Things they make a mess. The cat describes Thing 1 and Thing 2 by telling the fish, “They are tame. Oh so tame! They have come here to play…” (Seuss 37). The Things turn out not to be so disciplined nor tame they were a total disaster. They were like little monsters running around the house destroying everything near them, not knowing how to domestically have fun. Even though they were illustrated as a child they had different qualities that distinguished them from a human. Since they are designated as Things it indicates that they are not human (MacDonald 115). Also the narrator –the boy –described them as some wild things as he saw that they were knocking down everything. Also, when Dr. Seuss mentions that they are tame, he pats Thing 1 and Thing 2 on their head like if they were pets. Normally

The cold and rain outside causes the Cat in the Hat to pursue satisfaction of his immediate urges despite the fish's constant complaining. He is determined to fulfill his thirst for pleasure and fun. "Why, we can have/Lots of good fun, if you wish,/With a game that I call/Up-up-up with a fish!" (12). His purpose in the house is not only to entertain himself, but also to entertain the kids as well. Even when the kids ask him to leave, he tries his best to convince them to have more of his "fun."

In C.S. Lewis’s The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, Lewis emphasizes the three points of philosophy, themes, and symbolism throughout his writing. Lewis was a strong Christian man, and wanted to make children see and understand all the stories of the Bible. Therefore, he put Christian elements through his books, but with fantasy characters as well. Especially in this story, Lewis conveys the differences between good and evil. Aslan is represented as Christ just as the White Witch represents the sense of evil. Lewis wrote several books in this Narnia series, but The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe became the most famous and recognized of his novels.

Many people think it is just about a cat trying to have fun but it is not. It is about the chaos that is going on in the world around them. Dr.Seuss was known to bring situations to life in his stories and that is what he did just here. Not only does this story teach children on how to rebel against their parents and not pay attention to any of the rules it also says that to a point children should listen and have certain traditions with in their family.

Innovation and creativity is what sets humans apart. To get where we are today, humans have created tools, ideas, stories, medicine, technology, and more that nobody has created before; and thus, they create a precedent for our society. The common phrase “What will they think of next?” is then asked, and shortly after the question is answered with another new, inspiring innovation. We have committees today like the Nobel Prize and The MacArthur Foundation that recognize innovators and role models who instigate a positive change in our society. These awards not only commemorate the recipients, but broadcast their ideas, creations, or stories, that in turn inspire others to do the same.

The Scarlet Pimpernel is a flower which according to the narrator is a “humble English way flower.” In this context, it is used to hide the identity of the bravest and best man in the whole world. The flower used as Percy’s moniker shows his best qualities which are humanity, humble background, English charm and a hero who helps without expecting any reward for his deeds. The most outstanding thing is Percy is that he is willing to come out as stupid and buffoonish just to continue his mission secretly as Pimpernel. Secretly, there dwells one hero behind a humble front who is the Pimpernel. In England Muerite St. is identified as Lady Blakeney. She is the wife of Percy Blakeney who as explain was the Scarlet Pimpernel and the wealthiest and fashionable man in England. Lady Blakeney was French and had condemned the St. Cyrs family to die. SHe is however determined to make amends for the sin which she felt her husband hated her for. Her Husband, however, faces the guilt of not telling his wife about his identity as the Scarlet

Christopher Sly introduces the theme that deceptive behavior leads to the misconception of true selves in the induction of Shakespeare’s play The Taming of the Shrew. The drunkard is tricked into believing that he is a lord, complete with a young male page assuming the role of Sly’s wife; believing that his exteriority is his reality. His doting lady emphasizes the concept that women should elevate their husbands to govern their lives, stating, “My husband and my lord, my lord and my husband, I am your wife in all obedience,” (2.104-6). In accordance with these notions, Bianca puts on an act to deceive her father and her suitors to believe that her beautiful and obedient exteriority matches her interiority. Bianca Minola plays the role of the traditional Renaissance maiden: docile, mild-mannered, and silent. She understands the societal expectations placed on women to be complacent and reflects those norms in her own behavior out of necessity. However, Bianca is a performer, concealing her inherent shrew behavior through a mask of deception in order to control and manipulate the men around her.

The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet goes back for centuries. It still captivates millions of readers every year. Is it the way Shakespeare always keeps people guessing? How about the theme of relying on fate? Maybe its because every time this wonderful piece of literature is read no one can decide exactly on who is blame? Is it really Juliet's fault for falling in love and taking chances? Is it their parent’s faults for fighting in the first place? Yes, but no. Friar Lawrence is the one to blame for the death of Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet. Lawrence is the one who marries them, gives Juliet a sketchy potion, and does not live up to his promise at the end of the play. Friar Lawrence may be a wise,

The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe is the first of several novels in the C.S. Lewis’s Chronicles of Narnia. These books tell stories of another universe that is called Narnia. Here there are many unearthly things from talking animals and evil witches. The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe is the story of four young siblings who discover this new world by entering a wardrobe. Little did they know, they were destined to become the new royalty of Narnia but only after going through many battles. In The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, C.S. Lewis analyzes the character Lucy, the theme of good versus evil, and the parallels of Narnia to other literature and Lewis’s life.

In addition to the commentary that Murphy makes on Macbeth and the representation of ghosts, Hamm’s article "Hamlet" and Horace Walpole's "The Castle of Otranto", also considers Walpole’s use of the idea of spectres as a means of revealing the mental instability within Manfred’s mind. For instance, when Manfred notices the armour-clad Theodore (Walpole 76), Manfred believes that Theodore is the spectre of Alfonso and does not recognize Theodore at all. Struck with terror and amazement, Manfred utters, “Ha! what art thou, thou dreadful spectre! Is my hour come?” (Walpole 76). As stated by Hamm, Manfred’s alarmed mistaking of the armour-clad Theodore for the rightful prince Alfonso, who has come to demand revenge, draws attention to Manfred’s

William Shakespeare 's Hamlet is one of his excellent tragedies which explores the difference between themes such as love and revenge or the complexities of life and death. In Shakespeare 's play, Hamlet and Laertes show some comparisons and contrasts which give an abundance of interest to the play. In fact, Hamlet and Laertes display impulsive reactions when angered; both have fathers killed, and both are seeking revenge. Even so, both characters display a considerable likeness, which is trying to protect the same person, Ophelia. It is important to realize that both loved her, but in different ways. On the other hand, Hamlet had a lovely mother who was the Queen and Laertes never had a mother figure in his life (Shmoop web).

In chapter three the huge plot is because of Matilda. Matilda was sick and tired of her dad manipulating people and being mean to her so she decided to to take matters into her own hands. By that I mean, Matilda went into the cloakroom got some super glue and very carefully put it around the rim of her fathers hat. And not just any hat the hat that according to page 24 it says "Mr.Wormwood was very proud of it. He thought it gave him a rakish daring look," That hat is the hat Mr.Wormwood wears practically every day. So in conclusion when Mr.Wormwood went to work with his hat on...he wasn't able to get it off. When Mrs.Wormwood tried to get the hat off, she left some spots of the hat wear she couldn't get off of Mr.Wormwoods head.

Thirdly, Hamlet feigned madness was another cause of delay to his avenging his father’s death. He feigned madness to enable him to buy time to make a decision and plan on how to kill Claudius. Although people like Grenadier believed that Hamlet was really mad by saying “This is no mock-madness, to see it as such is to miss the power of the central theme of the play, Hamlet walks alone within the prison of mental death” (Grenadier 70). These does not help him much because Claudius does not believe that he is actually mad that is why he sent for Guildenstern and Rosencrantz Hamlet long time friend’s to spy on him and found out the reason for his behavior. Hamlet himself does not completely act insane, the only scene where madness may be inferred is when Hamlet killed Polonius, and Hamlet killing Polonius might be an accident, probably he thought he was Claudius, but even if he presume him to be Polonius, he equally dislike him by calling him a “fish mugger” (Act 11, scene 2 ). This means he does not trust him. Polonius is dishonest than a fish mugger. His killing of Polonius reversed roles for Hamlet and Claudius. It is now the prince who becomes the pursued and the king who become the pursuer. Claudius, certain now of Hamlets being a threat to his safety, is able to hustle the prince off to England and remove him from the place where alone he can pursue his task of vengeance, precisely when he has established the basis for a just revenge, Hamlet actually loses

In Webster’s The Duchess of Malfi, the forces of good and evil seem to be constantly at war. From the beginning of Act I to the end of Act V, the audience witnesses these two elements struggle against one another through each character’s actions or intentions as well as through various points of imagery. Despite the fact that the Duchess is murdered at the end of Act IV, Act V reveals that even in times of immense tragedy and evil-doing, good ultimately conquers all.
