Sebastian Act 4 Scene 1

In the classic play Romeo and Juliet, Friar Laurence plays a major part. Romeo and Juliet trusted him entirely as he was the priest of their town. They turned to the Friar for help and advice at a few crucial points in the play. Little did these two lovers know that their decision to turn to Friar Laurence for help would eventually lead to their deaths. Friar Laurence was responsible for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet because he married Romeo and Juliet, he was afraid of committing a sin, and because of his faulty plan for saving Juliet from a marriage to Paris.

The Tempest, by William Shakespeare, expands upon various persuasive elements and techniques which convince characters into making radical choices. This is apparent in Act 2, Scene 1, where Antonio (the Duke of Milan) convinces his friend Sebastian into killing his own brother Alonso (the King of Naples) and the king’s councillor Gonzalo. Antonio’s success in persuading Sebastian can be attributed to his rhetoric, logical thinking, and promises of power.

He maintains a sort of comedy in his words. He constantly twists and adds to what Tybalt says ‘Couple it with something make it a word and a blow’. Here we can see that he is

Bullock, grabbed her husbands arm, because she automatically stereotyped the two men, thinking they would harm her. Grabbing on to her husbands arms was a sense of safety for her.

While Bullock feels threatened by the two men, who simply by their looks of being black. The reason why the one particular black man becomes frustrated is because he feels as though he is constantly put down, belittled

Acts two through three of The Tempest deal with everyone on the island attempting to have power. The plans mainly are made involving murder or marriage and are based off the separated groups of the shipwreck thinking everyone is dead.

The moment Sebastian enters the stage and is mistaken for his twin sister Viola, he is promptly engaged into a duel with Sir Andrew and proposed to by Olivia. Olivia asks him to marry him thinking that he is Cesario. Sebastian says, "Or I am mad, or else this is a dream / Let fancy still my sense in Lethe steep / If it be thus to dream, still let me sleep" (59-61). He is confused with the sudden duel and the marriage proposal but it seems he is not complaining. The mistaken identity and gender uncertainty is all explained in the last scene when Olivia finds out that she did not marry Cesario. Orsino discovers that Cesario is really Viola and that she is in love with him and Antonio finds out that Sebastian did not really betray him. Everyone has to look back at their past experiences to determine exactly how to deal with the confusion they felt throughout the play.

All the judgements within the play prove the broken down mess society is because the reader can relate to the examples. For instance the line, “Why does it make you feel so good to have the biggest car?” (Noren 13) is very relatable. Everyone may not be able to relate to a car but everyone can relate
