He warned his friends he intended to fake madness, but Gertrude as well as Claudius saw through it, and even the slightly dull-witted Polonius was suspicious.

After the Ghost's first appearance to Hamlet, Hamlet de ...

Dantes Reconciliation Of A Lov

... this journey is to expose Dante to Hell so that he will spend eternity in Heaven. Throughout this journey, we begin to realize that man is neither smart nor strong enough to face the hardships in life without the intervention of God. However, this divine intervention does not guarantee salvation. It is a choice made by man that does insure salvation. So, as seen in The Inferno, hell still exists and the chances of going there are real. A reader might wonder how God can allow this kind of suffering and pain. Dante succeeds in justifying t ...

Taming Of The Shrew Illusion V

... one would assume that there is good reason for it. In Katherina's case though, nobody ever takes the time to listen to what she actually feels. When she says, "A pretty pet! It is best put finger in the eye, an she knew why." (Pg. 16), she is not acting maliciously but rather calling out for attention. In contrast to all the flattery that Bianca receives, the only time people ever talk about Katherina is when she acts like a shrew. A more vulnerable side to Katherina actually surfaces when she arrives at Petruchio's house. As Petruch ...
