Oedipus At Colonus Oedipus The King

about a mile outside of Athens. This child was to
be named Sophocles. He was a boy whose father was
a wealthy merchant. He now had the opportunity to
enjoy all of life's greatest expectations in the
Greek empire. Being that he was from a wealthy
family, he had the chance to study all of the
arts. By the time Sophocles reached his late
teens, he was already known for his charm and
elegance and was honored by being chosen to lead a
challenging group o...

Heaven And Hell Hamlet Realizes
1,926 words
Hamlet is continuously wanting to do something but
does nothing. He is forced to make decisions based
on his moral and religious beliefs. Hamlet is as
little of the hero as a man can be. He is
incapable of action, and is only hurried into
extremities on the spur of the occasion when he
has no time to reflect. At other times, when he is
bound to act, he remains puzzled, undecided, and
skeptical. He dallies with his purposes, until the
occasion is lost. Hamlets first scene with his
mother reveals ...

with his reflection on the player? s speech about
Hecuba; it advances further in the closet scene,

Mine Own Loves Fear Of Trust Line
519 words
This sonnet demonstrates Shakespeare's great
ability of playing with words. According to him a
person is tongue-tied when he has either too much
or too little to say. He illustrates his idea by
giving an example of an unperfect actor who
forgets his lines on stage and more curiously,
some fierce thing whose heart is weakened by the
weight of his own strength. This use of paradox
adds intensity to the sonnet and lays the
foundation for the following quatrain. The first
quatrain is like the silenc...

Play Was Written Act 1 Scene 5
1,463 words
In the play Macbeth, I think Shakespeare, the
author, uses characters in the structure of the
play to a large effect. In Act 1, I think Banquo
was used by Shakespeare as a contrast to Macbeth;
they are close friends, and have similar
personalities, but when they are each prophesied
great things by the witches, Banquo does not
become as ambitious as Macbeth does. I think this
shows that Lady Macbeth played a large part in
influencing Macbeth to murder Duncan and attain
what was prophesied for him...

Stratford On Avon Time Of His Death Shakespeare

Although generally considered the greatest
dramatist of all time, William Shakespeare's life
remains shrouded in mystery. Born in 1564 in the
town of Stratford-on-Avon to a middle-class
family, he is presumed to have received a grammar
school education. However, by the time he was
thirteen or fourteen, his family had become
impoverished and he was forced to drop out of
school in order to work full-time in his fathers
tannery. At the age of eighteen, Shakespeare
married Anne Hathaway, a woman eig...
