figured he would try to seduce his younger lover by making her feel young in comparison to his perishing self “In me thou see'st the glowing of such fire...” (Shakespeare 1). Additionally, he most likely made her feel sympathetic for him since his attempt of seduction

that has been studied for centuries due for the main part because of the timeless nature and the fact it can be applied to any context. In Macbeth, Shakespeare explores and provides arguments surrounding the themes of superstition, appearance versus reality and ambition. Firstly, through Macbeth’s exploration of the theme of superstition, Shakespeare successfully argues that superstition effects human behaviour. In Macbeth superstition is represented as the irrational fear of what is unknown and

significant other. Shakespeare’s view towards women shifts between his sonnets. Comparing to “Sonnet 18”, it seems as if Shakespeare has gained a more respect towards his counterpart and with this change in view, it is interesting to see this change and how even though with his time period, that some men looked at women with respect and acceptance. Comparing to today’s world, Shakespeare has thought of ideas that some men still have to grasp about women’s beauty. Today, some men still think that women

go beyond how they look. The thesis can easily be proven since the poem is about a man and not a woman, the personification of nature being a woman and the comparison between both genders in the poem. The speaker characterizes women as beautiful, but in later lines, defines the muse of the poem as a man all along. In his sonnet, Shakespeare says: “A man in hue, all hues in his controlling” (7). The previous quote means that he is a man of passion, but, unlike women, he controls it. For the first

depth with which Hecuba mourns, and via his energetic diction, the involuntary suddenness with which her grief “bursts” from within her (Shakespeare 2.2.509). Further, Hecuba seems to be driven almost mad with her grief so that she goes “barefoot up and down, threatening the flames” with such woe that her grief has the power to suade “passion in the gods” (Shakespeare 2.2.498-512). Darkly, the First Player conjures an image of a wife grief stricken to ruin such that her predicament would sadden any onlooker

other men wrongly praise their women for possessing. Shakespeare presents to one that true love recognizes imperfections and feels devotion regardless of flaws, while satirically expressing his personal thoughts on Petrarchan sonnets. Through the use of comparisons, the English sonnet and an anti-Petrarchan

The Comparisons of the 1997, and the 1965 Romeo and Juliet Films Two different actors, Baz Luhrmann and Franco Zeffirelli, take on the challenge of recreating the William Shakespeare play, Romeo and Juliet. Some of the comparisons of the two Romeo and Juliet plays, by William Shakespeare, is the dialogue and the colors. For the dialogue both directors use some of the same lines of the William Shakespeare play. “Part fools! Put up our swords; you know not what you do” (Act I, Scene i, p. 13).

The Influence of Commedia dell’arte on Much Ado About Nothing by William Shakespeare Commedia dell’arte had great influence of Shakespeare’s comedy “Much Ado About Nothing”. This form of theatre shows many comparisons to the Shakespearian comedy. Commedia dell’arte created elements within a comedy that became standards across comedic literature. Love, deception, matters of out

of a word or the constant use of a letter, can derive emotions and feelings from the audience. The use of literary devices may seem like small changes, but it makes a huge difference in the reader's mind. In the play, Hamlet, written by William Shakespeare, many devices are used to trigger the reader's emotions and get them to connect to the main idea. In act 3, scene 1, the famous soliloquy of Hamlet, incorporates the use of many devices to induce the audience’s sympathy for Hamlet. Metaphors are

In his shortest and bloodiest play, Macbeth, Shakespeare exhibits an ongoing theme of greed through the rise to power and the downfall of his main character, Macbeth. Macbeth is a brave Scottish warrior fighting in King Duncan’s army who, after proving his bravery in the war, is rewarded by King Duncan as Thane of Cawdor. Prior to being informed of his new title, Macbeth and his friend Banquo meet three witches in the woods who tell them their prophecies. The witches proclaim that Macbeth will be
