Romeo and Juliet Task: Explore Shakespeare?s treatment of the theme of Love in Act 1 of ?Romeo and Juliet?. How does Shakespeare make the first meeting of the lovers dramatic and convincing for his audience? Romeo and Juliet is the story of a ?pair of star-cross?d lovers?, born into two feuding families. The Montague?s and Capulet?s are two households ?both alike in dignity? who have been at war for as long as each household can remember but neither know why. Although we are told the fate of the two lovers at the beginning, using the prologue, Shakespeare still delays their meeting to show the depth of the feud and how it affects Romeo and Juliet.

Female Characters in Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth William Shakespeare is generally considered an avant-garde writer with progressive ideas about gender. Because of the era in which he wrote, the women in his plays generally had to be wives, servants, or a woman of some type of ill repute. But an examination of the female characters of three of his major tragedies shows that though these women may have been secondary to the men in their lives, they were still complex, round characters and deserving of as much attention and analysis as their male counterparts.

Emily Moler AP English Literature Sargent October 13, 2011 Facets of a Sociopath For every hero there is a villain; from Hannibal Lector (Red Dragon) to Claudius (Hamlet), or Don Juan (El Burlador de Sevilla) to Mr. Kurtz (Heart of Darkness), villains have been essential to any novel regardless of the time it was penned; and William Shakespeare's Othello is no exception to this rule. Othello recounts the story of a newlywed couple, Othello and Desdemona, whose marriage and lives are torn apart by Iago, the jealous villain.

?To be, or not to be? That is the question.? Actually, it is not the only one in this play. In fact, William Shakespeare?s The Tragedy of Hamlet Prince of Denmark is considered to be, ?the play of questions,? because of all of the ambiguities that the audience cannot seem to solve. Is Hamlet actually mad? Is the ghost of King Hamlet real? Is Ophelia, Polonius? innocent, unmarried daughter pregnant? Although Shakespeare does not directly say whether Ophelia is or is not pregnant, there is strong evidence that proves it. In proving that Ophelia is pregnant, although the other characters do not know about it, it is seen that the pregnancy directly affects what the other characters think of Hamlet.
