He uses this to make Creon realize Haimon’s opinion and side of the situation. Haimon is wise for his age and shows his father Creon, that he can have his father change his mind and plan for Antigones death. Haimon’s speech to his father had an impact on the way things turned out because of the logos technique displayed by him. Another logos method is when he lets his father know that “This is no city which belongs to one man.” It’s true because the city may get upset if Creon tries to make all decisions without discussing it with others.
French designer Philippe Starck once claims: “I like to open the doors to people’s brain.” Nathaniel Hawthorne 's short story “The Minister’s Black Veil” reflects this principle in which the author advertently creates ambiguities and opens the possibilities of interpretation to the readers. Nathaniel Hawthorne employs commonplace symbols to present the ambiguity of sin and secrecy through a psychological lens in “The Minister’s Black Veil”. This short story also reflected the principle of Puritanism as well, such as the idea of manifest destiny represented by Mr. Hooper in the story.
This hyperbolic allusion towards the King once more raises the King above common people, beckoning the audience, both contemporary and of the contextual era to know the power and strength Henry held. While profoundly restrictive in the variety of voices projected, Shakespeare’s Henry V provides a window into the values and beliefs of the time, especially those central to leadership, war and royalty as a concept. By guiding the easily malleable beliefs and imaginations of the common
Deemed an outcast by society because of his actions, Hamlet is sent by Claudius on a ship headed for England. This physical separation, from the surroundings he grew up with, represents Hamlet’s victory over society and his ability to now act according to his own will. However, instead of beginning a life anew, Hamlet decides to return to Denmark (against the wishes of Claudius). This unforeseen act can be explained as Hamlet tells Horatio on his way home, “There’s a divinity that shapes our ends, Rough-hew them how we will” (5.2 11-12). The word ‘divinity’ connotes a godly presence and demonstrates Hamlet’s embrace of his destiny.
Oliver Wendall Homes, once said, “a moment 's insight is sometimes worth a life 's experience.” In the beginning of the book, Voltaire describes Candide as, “ a young man whom nature had endowed with the gentlest of characters” (Voltaire 1). In Candide, Candide character’s evolves after he was demanded to leave the castle of the Lord Baron of Thunder-ten-tronckh because he kissed the Lady Baroness, Cunégonde.

Discovery of such history had a profound impact on Equality such as when he read the word “I”. It is through man’s writing in which Equality came to understand “the blessed thing which (he) had called (his) curse” (98). This writing had such a positive impact on Equality that he decided to “write the first chapter of new history of man” so that it would be eternal (101). It is through his writing, that Prometheus will be remembered not as a number, but as a hero who vanquishes collectivism. His eternal message cautions the reader of the dangers of an irrational society so that someday man will think twice before chaining himself to the word
Hal's point of view contrasts from his father's point of view. Hal's character is shown with a carefree manner as an eccentric Prince of Wales, much to his father's chagrin. He vows to his father he will mend his conduct and accept his responsibilities as future King of England. His attempt at developing is successful because of his interactions with Falstaff and his father as
Experiences which allow an individual to discover can uncover what is concealed and for perceptions to be challenged and changed. This concept is explored in William Shakespeare’s play The Tempest and Thomas Buchanan Read’s poem Church’s “Heart of the Andes” in different ways. The courtiers from The Tempest are forcibly displaced into Prospero’s magical island which reflects the context of Age of Exploration. Church’s “Heart of the Andes” similarly portray the same idea of western explorers discovering the New World. The new ideas and changed values that result from the discovery can be seen in Shakespeare’s play as Prospero changes his character and attitude as he learns about forgiveness and mercy.
Throughout the play, Othello is unaware of any racism or hatred toward him. Othello says "my parts my title, and my perfect soul shall manifest me rightly." (Act 1; Scene 2; Line 31-32).

Later in the play Lodovico, a messenger and a kinsmen to Brabanzio, comes to Othello to announce that Othello has been replaced by Cassio.
In the beginning of the book Macbeth. Macbeth is selfless, and truly devoted to benefiting the people. Macbeth saves the country, and the king admires him.

---------------------------------------------------------------- Caliban’s telling soliloquy holds both explicit and implicit value that serves to reinforce, The Tempest’s, theme while adding to the overall meaning of the play. Explicitly, Caliban used vivid language to -------- the tortures Prospero had inflicted on him and how he wished for Prospero’s slow transformation into that of a disease. Implicitly, the infliction of pain that Caliban experienced mirrored the abuse that the first nations peoples endured during their interactions with Europeans. From Caliban’s soliloquy, it’s evident that he was a symbol of the first nations peoples.
Lord Macduff is the Thane of Fife and throughout the play he shows himself to be possessed of great energy. Except when deeply moved, he is a man of very few words.

Despite the human form that mankind takes, monstrous qualities thrive throughout the natures of humanity, creating creatures full of spite and savagery. This malformation in mankind is proved dominant in Elie Wiesel’s autobiography Night, William Shakespeare’s “The Tempest”, and the painting searching for humanity by John Wentz. The theme of all these pieces is referring to the hermetical aspects that rely within each individual. The evil that lurks abaft the mask exhibited in the world to optically discern, Wentz’s painting represents those factors within society holistically.
Throughout history, many societies needed to classify people in societal groups; it was crucial to establish a “norm”, in other words. For some people, though, where they supposedly belong was not satisfying at all. Geoffrey Chaucer’s The Canterbury Tales and William Shakespeare’s The Tempest both examine how individuals wonder and reassign themselves a “worthier” position.
