somnambulation would probably be better if the context was "Lady Macbeth, who walks through the castle washing her hands in her sleep, is perhaps the most famous case of somnambulation"  but as it stands now...neither really make any sense.

I think that they should be read. Granted, yes, some of the scenes are a bit "racy" but they are great works of literature. But they are accurate as far as human actions go (though Romeo and Juliet were just stupid in my opinion) Anyone who has not read any Shakespeare will be missing out. He was a uniquely clever genius of comedic relief, irony, and double meanings.

The answer is B.\n\nThe expectations that cause Pip's character to become less likable are those that he develops after being introduced to Miss Havisham and Estella. During his first visit to the Satis House, Estella, who considers herself much too refined and well-bred to associate with a common boy, scorns Pip. On the other hand, Pip seems to fall in love with Estella during that first meeting. He even admits to Miss Havisham that he thinks her adopted daughter is not only "very proud" and "very insulting," but also "very pretty" and that he should "like to see her again" (p. 59). After just one afternoon at the Satis House, Pip develops a desire to become more acceptable to Estella, in hopes that her callous attitude toward him would change.

"too well" implies quality rather than the quantity of "enough".\n\nI think what Shakespeare was trying to have the character imply is that wisdom is not an effective measure when it comes to love; in modern psychological terms we would perhaps expand it by saying that love is an emotion, not a rational process of maturity. Or, at a poetic level, wisdom is of the head, love is from the heart. For me at least, the word "enough" doesn't do it!

Well, I don't know if it's a motif, exactly, but you've got the theme right away of the Witches, who have their own agenda in the whole picture, and pop up now and then; the motif of "prophecies". Although Macbeth wants to believe they're all true, he scoffs at the idea that he would be defeated by one who was not born of woman. Lady Macbeth is actually more vicious and ambitious than he. By trying to avoid the various warnings re: Banquo et al, they bring about their own doom.\n\nI think Act 2, brings out more that Macbeth's "underlings" actually posess more leadership than he.\n\nHope that helps a little bit.

sorry but I'm on the teacher's side. It's her job to see that you get an education. When you're older and filling out an application for a job do you really want alot of misspelled words on it? Education is one of the most important things in life. She's not "a witch" she's just doing her job.

he's the only thane who doubted macbeth from the very beginning.\nhe showed courage and loyalty to his country because he did not live behind any pretenses.\nhe had a feeling that macbeth "played most fouly" [banquo] for the title of king, and acted to correct it.\nhe went to england to call on malcolm and for help though he knew that this would bring him further into macbeth's bad side.\nhe did not wish to settle for a virtue-less malcolm when the rightful heir was testing him.\nhe was not afraid to show his emotions when ross informed him of the murder of his family.\nhe was also the one who was eventually able to kill macbeth [because he was delivered prematurely into the world through c-section, and was therefore not born of a woman].\n\none mistake i think he made, however, was that he left his family without protection and without telling them where he was going or the purpose behind it. i don't get why he did this.

I dunno if this'll help, but I thought I'd give it a try . . .\nI just read through Macbeth with my lil' bro a little while ago, and I'm rereading Othello now, and it's funny that you ask about the inevitability of prohecies and the first prophecy he gets, because even though there are no prophecies in Othello, Iago does say something about deals with the devil.\nI don't have the book on me, so I can't give a direct quote, but, Iago compares himself to a devil and says that the reason he tells the truth in the beginning of his evil scheme to bring about Othello's downfall is because a demon (or in Hamlet's case a witch) will give you bits of the truth in order to lure you into dealing with them.  That way you will think that they aren't evil, because an evil being would lie.  Does that make sense? \nSo when he saw the first prophecy come true without any action on his part, he thought it would be okay to help the rest of them along, because it was his destiny and not evil magic.  I think the irony is that whether or not he killed Duncan the prophecy should have come true.  Or maybe it was foretold that he would kill Duncan, and the witches just neglected to tell him that part, and knowing that he would, let Lady MacB goad him into it.\nI never read "The Bottle Imp", but it sounds interesting, I think I'll give it a try.\nHope that helps!

Your quoted text is not a question, it is a statement. \n\nIf you have read the text, then you should know you are being asked to elucidate the trials and conflicts of each of those "heroes," and to show how each becomes a character worthy of notice, of the title "hero."

MacBeth was only written in English, there is no such thing as an "Elizabethean" version. \n\nYou can't translate English into English!

"Because life immitates art, we often find that our lives are reflected in literary works from historical points of view.  One can never mistakenly see himself in a character in a great novel such as King Lear or the Great Gatsby.  If you are the same as one of these characters, you will have no doubt as I had with the character ________________ in the novel ____________. "\n\nthen continue with your essay from there\n\nsusan

i suggest not doing romeo or juliet b/c everyones going to do them and your teachers going to read a million of them and if she gets to yours and its different- thats a good thing. i suggest friar lawerence. he was crutial to their secret marriage, juliets fake suicide, he was the only one who knew that juliet wasnt really dead, he was the first to find thr dead romeo, told juliet what had happened, etc. without him the none of that twisted romantic tragedy could have happened.\n\noh- and a good thesis sentence could be: The most influential character in The Most Excellent and Lamentable Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, without whom the plot would be undone, is Friar Lawerence. \nbtw:The Most Excellent and Lamentable Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet is the official title.
