The Servant Of Two Master Character Analysis

Queen Gertrude makes it seem like the king meant nothing to her when she states that, “She disrespects the king by saying that it is common for everyone to die, instead of having an apathetic tone in her voice, as a normal widow would, she causes more conflict between her and Hamlet. This causes conflict because she is acting unconcerned, proving that she has moved on so easily and she proves this by marrying so soon after her husband’s death. Hamlet sees this as an act of betrayal, considering that Gertrude seemed unphased of his father’s death, and she traded a rich pure love for one that is poor and weak. The Ghost tells Hamlet, “ O Hamlet, what a falling off was there! [f]rom me, whose love was that of dignity that it went hand in hand even with vow I made to her in marriage, and to decline [u]pon a wretch whose natural gifts were poor [t]o those of mine.”

The theme intertwined in both short stories is betrayal. To betray someone is to be disloyal. Tessie and Mary Maloney have either betrayed someone or someone has betrayed them. Firstly, Lamb to the Slaughter by Shirley Jackson is a synopsis where Mary Maloney, the protagonist, is waiting for her husband

The play Antigone is about a family with some major family problems. The two main characters are mostly Antigone and Creon, who is also Antigone’s uncle. At the start of the play Creon becomes the new king and decides that Antigone’s brother Polyneices should not have a proper burial, because he rebelled against the city. This makes Antigone mad and she decides that she is going to bury Polyneices. Creon finds out that someone buried Polyneices and says that the person should be put to death, because they broke the King’s new rules.

Juliet was faced with a horrible dilemma, to abandon her one true love or to face her father’s wrath and live out the rest of her days as a street urchin. In her plight, she turned to the friar that married Romeo and her, who devised a plan to allow them to stay together. He gave Juliet a potion that made her seem dead temporarily, she drank it and was laid in a tomb. Romeo found out about her supposed death before the friar could tell him of his scheme and rushed to her side. Finding her, deathly pale, he drank poison in order to be with her forever, only for her to awake and follow suit by stabbing

They were forcing her to marry someone else when she was in love with Romeo. This in her mind gave her no choice but suicide. When her father tells her, “I tell thee what-get thee to church o’ Thursday, or never look me in the face” (3.4.162-163) he is saying that she will marry Paris or he will disown her. This is the first act that causes Juliet to contemplate killing herself for fear that she has no choice but to marry Paris. Lord Capulet going back on his word about letting Juliet have free will over who she can marry, which Juliet feels is unfair.

Romeo has been exiled because he has killed a cousin of the Capulets, Tybalt, and Friar Lawrence believes that if he marries Romeo and Juliet and helps them run away, that it will end the arguing between the families and get Romeo out of trouble with the law. Friar Lawrence 's plan is for Juliet to consent to marriage with Paris, then the night preceding the wedding, Juliet is to drink a potion that will make her fall asleep for forty-hours and she will appear dead (DBQ Romeo and Juliet page 365 ). The Capulet family will bury Juliet, and Friar will have a letter sent to Romeo in Mantua, telling him to reunite with Juliet in the Capulet tomb when she awakes. Flaws appear in Friar’s plan. Friar poorly times his plan and when he sends Friar John to send word to Romeo, he is unable to because he is quarantined because of the plague (DBQ Romeo and Juliet page 369).

Antigone asks Ismene to break the law with her by burying Polyneices, their brother. Ismene does the logical thing and chooses to not break the law her uncle put in place. Ismene says in the play: “I have no strength / To break laws that were made for the public good” (prologue. i. 62-63).

To try to prove his masculinity to Katherina, he berates and abuses his servants as to make him look manly. He wants to bend Katharina to his will and is willing to be cruel to her, to prove he is able to tame his wife and be virile. This, in turn, causes Curtis to state “By this reckoning he is more shrew than she” (act four, scene one), but Curtis has known Petruchio before this event and has not seen this shrewish side to him before. This suggests Petruchio is only putting on an act and is only presenting himself like that to Katherina, and his true nature is not so shrewish. Petruchio is also described as a shrew on his wedding

Creon locks her away in a jail cell and she kills herself. Haemon; Antigone’s husband; and the chorus bed Creon to free her but he does not want to. He finally gives in but

First of all, Lord Capulet should be punished because he forced Juliet to marry someone she did not want to. “Hang thee...disobedient wretch!/...get thee to a church a Thursday/Or never after look me in the face” (Romeo and Juliet 3.5.160-62). He threatens to disown her as a child if she does not get to church to marry Paris. This example proves that Lord Capulet did not care what Juliet’s opinion was about marrying Paris; she was going to whether she liked it or not. Another reason why Lord Capulet should be punished is because he is part of the feud.

The scene is the city of Thebes and taken place in the royal palace. Antigone learns that her two brothers, Polynices and Eteocles, are dead and only Eteocles would be buried. Antigone’s uncle Creon ordered Polynices’ body be left untouched after he fought against the people of Thebes. Knowing this Antigone risks her life to give Polynices a proper burial and gets caught in doing so. When caught, Antigone was sentenced to death by Creon.

Many fathers in that day in age, especially those belonging to the upper-class, had arranged marriages for their daughters and Moliere’s blow to planned marriages most likely greatly upset them. For a man to come and tell the public what they are doing or what they have done is seen as a comedy, is rather upsetting and degrading to say the least. During the time period of when Tartuffe was written, planned marriages were prevalent, but mostly only in the upper-class. Women who descended from a wealthy family, was most commonly arranged a marriage in order to sustain wealth and land. When individualism and free thinking came about, women began to urn for true love in a husband.

Desdemona 's father, Brabantio, is jealous during the beginning of the tragedy. He is upset that his daughter had not trusted him enough to tell him that she was going to marry Othello. When he is awoken in the middle of the night he blames Othello for drugging her and forcing her to marry him. After their conversation with the Duke about the marriage Brabantio says to Othello, "Look to her, Moor, if thou hast eyes to see: She has deceived her father, and may thee" (1.3.291). Iago reminds Othello about Brabantio’s comment and it causes some feeling towards the end of the tragedy and helps Iago convince Othello into thinking that Desdemona has been unfaithful because of how her father says if she betrays me why wouldn’t she betray him.
