Dark Keys to Shakespearean Conflict
[ send me this paper ]
(10 pp) In any tragedy, it is tension or conflict
which keeps the play moving. Modern jargon would
call it "spin" and "counterspin." In this
discussion we will compare the sources of conflict
in two plays, Othello and Macbeth. Iago and Lady
Macbeth are our major obsessives,the first prompted
by an apparent frustration with being passed over
in military command, yet disguising a darker
personal agenda, and the second, Lady Macbeth with
a compulsive need for power and title.

Destiny's Hand
[ send me this paper ]
There are many instances in life where it may feel as
though destiny has leaned down and taken a hand. It is sometimes a
small thing, however, it can - and often is - life changing. This 5
page paper asserts that in Shakespeare's Macbeth, the witches are a life
changing influence upon Macbeth. In the movie, Chinatown, the character
of Noah Cross shapes the destiny of Jake Gittes and in The Man Who Shot
Liberty Valance, Tom Doniphon steps in to change the future of Rause
Stoddard. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
