Puck And Hermia

Love is a timeless topic. It will forever be the theme of popular entertainment and source of confusion for men and women alike. No one understands this better than William Shakespeare, and he frequently explores this complex emotion in his plays. In "A Midsummer Night’s Dream" Shakespeare cleverly reveals the fickle and inebriating aspects of love through his mischievous character Puck.

Have you ever wondered why Shakespeare uses so many descriptive words that could really be said in one? Or why some characters speak in rhyme and sometimes not? Shakespeare writes in this way to show how the characters feel through the rhythmic and descriptive words that they use. How the characters speak also shows how sincere and loving they are. Shakespeare had a way of writing that informed us about the characters and what we needed to know about them and also makes it interesting to read.

One of the most fascinating characters in William Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream is Puck, also known as Robin Goodfellow. In English and Celtic folklore, the word “Pouk” was a medieval term for the devil: “Robin Goodfellow” was also a nickname for the devil. Although Puck shows antagonistic qualities, many critics believe Puck to be the closest thing to a protagonist A Midsummer Night’s Dream has.

In A Midsummers Night Dream a group of craftsmen put on a play for the Dukes wedding. A play about Pyramus and Thisbe. Little did the craftsmen know, that they are about to perfom Hermia and Lysander’s entire struggle. The play gives this drama a comical side, and give symbols and allusions to Hermia and Lysanders relationship.

With regard to Ms. Green’s claims against O’Brien, it is apparent that Ms. Green was O’Brien’s client, and that O’Brien owed Ms. Green a duty. Should this case proceed to trial we do not anticipate that we would argue to a jury that O’Brien did not neglect this duty. Rather, there are serious questions as to whether “the negligence resulted in and was the proximate cause of loss to the client.” Kendall v. Rogers, 181 Md. 606, 611-12 (1943). Indeed, the estate will have to demonstrate that Ms. Green would have prevailed in proving that one or both health care provider defendants committed medical negligence that caused her to fall into the diabetic coma.

App. Ct. Mass. App. Ct. at 341, the court reasoned that the degree of emotional distress can be inferred from the actual conduct and the circumstances, no need for an expert witness. Caddys had headaches and stomachaches and could not concentrate on work because their home was taken away from them which is not something an ordinary person could endure. Id. Similarly, Taylor felt so unsafe that he and Mya quit their jobs, he withdrew his membership from the union, and they left Massachusetts altogether because Murray was threatening their lives. No reasonable person could carry on with their life when someone is threatening to take their life. Although, Murray may argue that Taylor’s weight loss, insomnia and nervousness are not severe enough physical ailments, according to a holding in Agis, 371 Mass. Mass. at 146, absence of physical damages should not thwart a claim. Thus, the court will likely rule that Taylor’s favor on this

against his will for nearly 15 years for “care, maintenance and treatment” based on the diagnosis

This scenario presents various ethical issues that could be argued several ways from HIPPA violations to whether or not this patient has/had the cognitive ability to understand the execution of an advanced directive and Power of Attorney. Advance Directives are put in place for this very reason. It eliminates the need for family members to make a choice in the heat of the moment and also respects the wishes of the person whom it affects directly.

Since they were in the process of divorce was her husband had another agenda behind the petition he filed to the court? If he hadn’t why was he absent at the time she was taken to the hospital? Did her husband bribe psychiatrist? Did the conversation the plaintiff had with defendant enough to level her as mentally ill? Was she really ill? If she was , could she refuse to have the treatment?

The case of Elizabeth Bouvia v. Superior Court is a well-known case in the patient’s right to refuse treatment. Elizabeth Bouvia was born with cerebral palsy, which worsened, as she grew older and subsequently caused her to become a quadriplegic. She additionally developed severe degenerative arthritis that caused her to be in continuous unbearable pain.

Andrew Beckett is a successful Lawyer in Philadelphia, the company that he is a senior associate for is the largest corporate law firm in the state. The company trusted him with their largest and most crucial case. Mr. Beckett abilities were never questioned, but what was questioned was his personal life. Andrew kept his private life as private as possible which included the fact that he was a homosexual that was living with AIDS. As a part of having AIDS Beckett had lesions that stated to noticeably appear; in attempts to hide these lesions from his bosses he tried wearing cover up on top of the marks and when that did not work he claimed that he was taking days off to work from home. Due to other complications with his symptoms he is rushed to the hospital, while he is in the hospital vital documents cannot be found. There seem to be zero copies that could be found in the office, however Beckett was able to get a copy from home presented to the court at the last possible second.

Her heart stopped suddenly and by the time she was resuscitated, she suffered irreversible brain damage. She was in a vegetative state which means that she was awake but without conscious and no sign of awareness. She was kept alive by costly medical treatments and care including tubes injected for food and water for years. The doctors said that there was no chance of significant improvement. The question that came up was if Terri wanted to be kept alive in these circumstances and if she would have chosen death instead of suffering this way for years and the years to come. Her husband wanted her to be let go while her parents wanted her to remain alive despite there being no chance of improvement. This is a clear example of the utilitarian theory that shows many parties involved. It is clear that everyone will suffer, but if we put ourselves in Terri’s shoes, she is the one suffering the most. In order to reach the most good out of the situation, it would be best if the doctors remove the feeding tube ending the financial and emotional strain. Though it will be tough for the family, the most good for the family is to know that Terri is no longer suffering. It was unfortunate that this situation happened in the public eye when the courts got involved. The judge did rule to remove her feeding tube, but is there a breaking a point of when the law should play in such a sensitive

To begin with, the client whose name is Mr. Sam Pilsudski has an obstructed airway secondary to cancer of the larynx. He is a 67-year-old widower, and a father of one son and two daughters, who is unconscious and terminally ill, if not for a much-needed operation to remove both his cancer and larynx to save his life. However, one of Mr. Pilsudski’s daughters has adamantly refused to consent to the surgical procedure despite the physician explaining that although the operation would unfortunately render his patient disabled without a voice consequentially, but ultimately surviving the procedure to live and recover. Moreover, the physician attempted with rational and clear communication to express the gravity of the rather poor prognosis of his illness to his daughter that in the event of foregoing the surgery, his patient would surely die (Ralph Dolgoff, Donna Harrington, and Frank M. Loewenberg (2012), Ethical Decisions for Social Work Practice. 9th Ed; p. 279).

Within the genre of melodrama, the atmosphere and emotions of a story are romanticized and magical. Not only does it engage the audience emotionally, but it is also meant to be performed in a very exaggerated manner. William Shakespeare incorporates this melodramatic style into his plays with a specific purpose in mind. In A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Shakespeare utilizes the sprightly character of Puck to reinforce the complexity of love, and the idea that magic sometimes causes more harm than good.
