In William Shakespeare's the Tragedy of Julius Caesar, the best intentions of good, noble people can lead to a tragedy. In the beginning, Brutus is looked at as a noble guy. Even Brutus himself knows that he is, he says that, “If it be aught toward the general good, Set honor in one eye and death i' th' other“(1.2, 87-88). Meaning, if he thinks that if killing Julius Caesar is the best thing for the Roman people he will do what it takes even if it means his own death. Considering this, he wants

Willian Shakespeare’s play, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, has a reoccurring theme of blind love. This theme of blind love can be seen through Helena’s monologue. The idea of blind love in the play is shown through Helena’s monologue when she states that “So I, admiring of his qualities: Things base and vile qualities” (1.1.). This portrays the theme of blind love through Helena’s realization that she is making a mistake by obsessing over him. She is aware that she is falling in love with him, but

and thrive to be the biggest and tallest tree there it wants to be. This theme presents itself in Frankenstein also, “All men hate the wretched; how, then, must I be hated, who am miserable beyond all living things! Yet you, my creator, detest and spurn me, thy creature, to whom thou art bound by ties only dissoluble by annihilation of one of us” (Shelley 95). Right here the creature is basically saying I have no freedom at all, how

According to dictionary.com, a betrayer is defined as a person who is unfaithful in guarding or fulfilling a promise, or committing treachery, against another person. This is a flawless characterization of Brutus in William Shakespeare’s play “Julius Caesar”. Brutus was a senator of Rome who assassinated the future monarch, Julius Caesar.

Themes Themes are the fundamental and often universal ideas explored in a literary work. Love As a Motivating Force Love, both erotic and platonic, motivates change in Gilgamesh. Enkidu changes from a wild man into a noble one because of Gilgamesh, and their friendship changes Gilgamesh from a bully and a tyrant into an exemplary king and hero. Because they are evenly matched, Enkidu puts a check on Gilgamesh’s restless, powerful energies, and Gilgamesh pulls Enkidu out of his self-centeredness

The key theme of madness in Hamlet serves the critical roles of the play, serving to depict the chaos and turbulence reigning through the lives of all within the play. Characters portraying both feigned and authentic madness, such as Hamlet and Ophelia, serve pertinent roles displaying the corruption and destruction of the mind when left alone without a guiding figure, most significantly one in the role of a father, and restrained without a chance to speak freely. Shakespeare creates a definitive

Throughout the book there have been three main themes shown within the characters. One of the themes is pride. Pearl, the daughter of both Hester and Dimmesdale, is a symbol of Hester’s pride. In chapter 7 on page 90, Hawthorne describes the beauty of Pearl’s dress. Her mother dresses her “in a crimson velvet tunic, of a peculiar cut, abundantly embroidered with fantasies and flourishes of gold thread.” The scarlet letter was exemplified as a form of life by the way Hester arrayed her. She wants

Although people still hold the fact that Hester is an adulterer she is now becoming known for her charity work. For example, “Do you see that woman with the embroidered

Gilgamesh is one of literatures first heroes, and there is evidence to suggest that he was a real historical figure who lived between 2500 and 2700 BC.
