The truth of one’s character can be expressed through his or her own thoughts, actions, and words. Respectively, one’s downfall is embodied by his or her own character. In William Shakespeare’s King Lear, Lear’s character is depicted as one who descends into madness as a result of his irrational actions early in the play. Similarly, Holden Caulfield, from J.D Salinger’s The Catcher in the Rye, enters the coming-of-age process; however, his behaviour illustrates his ongoing cynicism and depression

that deceive him by professing their love for him. King Lear eventually realizes his mistake of banishing his other daughter, Cordelia, who does not vocalize her love for him. Soon after, he becomes insane from the shock of the betrayal he faces. Shakespeare presents ideas of internalized sexism and exploitation in this play, to show the tendency towards misogyny. He uses the motifs of body and animals to illustrate that women are portrayed as lesser than men because of the stigma of their emotional

We are well within the one-week countdown mark to possibly one of the most hyped series of Doctor Who in the show’s five-decade history. On the face of it, the series looks to be like any other. One with lots of monsters, mystery and adventure. Also with the important point of it being another Moffat series to add to his collection (which isn’t a terrible collection at that). So, what makes Series 9 that much more gripping, even before it airs? What have got Whovians the world over raving about

Public communication is very important when in a discussion with coworkers and such. The one weakness that some people run into is silence. The spiral of silence theory by Elisabeth Noelle-Neumann explains why certain people fall under the pressure and seclude to silence.

"Shakespeare - The nearest thing in incarnation to the eye of God (Laurence Olivier)." Perhaps making the comparison between Shakespeare and a deity is a little far-fetched, but knowing Laurence Olivier is from the 1800s, we can assume that he means was an exquisite artist1. Shakespeare’s work continues to be relevant in today’s literature education. Despite his admirable art, modern directors choose to parody his plays in ridiculous “adaptations”. His play Much Ado About Nothing proves to be an

William Shakespeare spent the later years of his life in London, England. This part of his life deserves to be noted, because of his outstanding accomplishments towards society. A big part of Shakespeare’s accomplishments derive in the city of London. William Shakespeare’s life in London consisted of the lost years, involvements with the Globe Theater, creations of brilliant Early works, articulate writing styles that catch the eye, and controversies about whether Shakespeare was educated enough

During his career Shakespeare wrote 40 plays and 154 sonnets and countless poems all of which contain certain phrases that Shakespeare coined and we still use today.

T o start with, the BBC is a non profit organisation; in effect the money which it makes is put back into the corporation and consequently used to make the services that the BBC provides.
