Author: Eugene

Hamlet,Horatio and Marcellus surround eachover on what seems to be a cold whispy night. Hamlet picks up on his uncle being drunk and firing cannon balls into what seems to be any desired destination.

He picks up on the point of how some individuals cannot handle rather-large quantities of alcohol than others can. Horatio instead catches sight of the phantasm like entity in their midst. At first Hamlet seems frightened and speaks about super-natural beings and places, such as Goblin and the Heavens. The Ghost beckons and Horatio informs Hamlet that it wants him to follow it. Hamlet hesitates at first but wearily creeps closer to the shape. Hamlet questions the Ghost and it responds “y hour is almost come When I to sulph’rous and tormenting flames Must render up myself.

Hamlet gives pity on it but it quickly declines it saying “Pity me not, but lend thy serious hearing To what I shall unfold. Now Hamlet is intrigued in to what he has to say “Speak, I am bound to hear”. The Ghost replies with`”So art thou to revenge when thou shalt hear”. He declares his identity as Hamlets father and the causes of his death.

Leading off from Hamlets outrage at his serpent-like uncle, Scene 3 starts off with Laertes talking with his sister, Ophelia about her affection with Hamlet. Laertes seems to not trust his motives and warns his sister about possible outcomes. Ophelia hears the sense in his argument but seems to be in love with Hamlet and believes that he really does have true feelings for her. Polonius, Ophelia and Laertes’ father enters and backs up his son’s point.  Mentioning that she does not lose her virginity with him or have any sexual contact as neither of them trust Hamlet as they believe he only wants to get rid of his sexual desires, being an adolescent teen. Realizing Ophelia does not care as much as the first time , being the same thing repeated multiple times, even Polonius apologizes for his use of repetition.

At the start of scene 2, set after the coronation of the new King, Claudius gives a speech on how his new found power will be used and commenting on the recent miss happenings and dramas throughout Denmark. Cornelius and Voltemand outspokenly agree with all that he says in a way in which seems to be they’re way of getting into his good books. The king calls out on Laertes and he responds with his confusion of the king setting sail for France rather than spending time in Denmark where he seems to be most needed.  Later on in the conversation Hamlet is outraged at how his mother could marry his late, fathers passing. His friends Horatio Marcellus enter and begin friendly conversation between eachover.

In ‘To kill a Mockingbird’ Pride is shown by Francis stirring up Scout by calling her father a “Nigger Lover” and to defend her family she retaliates by Splitting her knuckle on his front teeth. This was done because Scout felt enraged that he was disrespecting her Father in which she loves and cares for and therefore this is an example of Scout protecting her family’s pride.

The author of the book ‘to kill a mockingbird’ (Harper Lee) uses satire in this book to show the distant reader what the white community of Maycomb thinks of the events that take place in that book. Soon after the trial there is an array of gossip engulfing the townspeople and there is a partition between the groups and families of people. At the start of chapter 22 the main antagonists and youth of Maycomb feel very emotional on how the trial was played out as Jem begins to cry in  anger because him and his comrades feel so angry that the adults could be so ignorant to not see how plain simple it was to understand that Tom Robinson was innocent. Further on in the chapter Dill explains how he would grow up to become a Clown and laugh at how stupid Adults could be.”There aint one thing in this world I can do about folks except laugh, so im gonna join the circus and laugh my head off “. So this extract from the book shows how the naive yet inexperienced children understand the situation from a fresh perspective and are in disgust with how the adult people dealt with the case when Atticus had given valid and thorough information towards the court case. The Black community however are very thankful and believed that they had all been in debt to Atticus as he would of only at the time been a lawyer that would of fought for Mr Robinson’s case and this was not an easy thing to do because the white community do not like how Atticus stood up for the “Negro”.

A Mockingbird as a character in a story for me is someone that gives off a very positive and high spirited effect on the reader. As Miss Maudie said ‘Mockingbirds don’t do one thing but make music for us to enjoy. They don’t eat up people’s gardens, don’t nest in corncribs, they don’t do one thing but sing their hearts out for us. That’s why it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird.’ This quote comes up a lot in the book. Often they are harmless and somewhat  innocent entity’s in which are pummeled and bombarded with abuse even when there is no valid reason for this. For example Tom Robinson is a Mockingbird because out of the kindness of his heart he would day by day, help Mayella Ewell with the more harder chores around her compound like cutting up chiffarobes and all sorts. Mayella had offered to pay dear Tom Robinson but he had declined because he saw the hardship that she would go through with taking care of her siblings and her father. He continuously did this until one evening Mayella pounced on Tom Robinson and tried to kiss him and therefore initiate sexual conduct but Tom refused and pushed her away gently and this was at which the point that Bob Ewell was peering through the window and saw this act. and ran off. Ashamed and in disgust she had claimed that Tom raped her when it was her herself that had raped him. He was then taken to caught and charged with rape. This shows how Tom Robinson is a Mockingbird because he was innocent , kind hearted and high spirited yet he was condemned with the charge of rape even tho he had done nothing wrong to Mayella Ewell.
