    the most important parts of the revolution started before 1775. The sugar act of 1764 was issued by the English parliament and the act taxed goods such as sugar and molasses. There were many protests over the sugar act because the act only taxed the colonies; this tax did not apply for Europeans. The sugar act was the birth of revolutionary thoughts among the thirteen colonies. After the first act came many more acts. The Stamp Act of 1765 stated that all legal documents‚ newspapers‚ and pamphlets

    In Act 2 scene 1 Macbeth is presented as a man who is certain about his evil actions. He has no hesitation‚ and will not stop in his efforts to commit regicide. This is evident in the command ‘come‚ let me clutch thee’ as he speaks to the knife. The knife represents his evil desires and ambition‚ it also acts as a reminder for the deed he must commit. It tells us he is embracing his corrupt and malicious thoughts and the verb ‘clutch’ enforces this‚ highlighting his certainty about his actions. This

    In this essay I will explore whether Act 3 Scene 1 is an important scene in Romeo and Juliet. This scene is important as bawdy comedy sinks into tragedy after Mercutio`s death. This is seen through the language which becomes darker after this scene. Certain characters change e.g. Romeo becomes violent after this scene. I will also discuss themes that arise and the fact that the play is an oxymoron. Act 3 Scene 1 is important because the play changes within it from comedy to tragedy. In this paragraph

    change much from Act 2 Scene 2 to Scene 3‚ but we placed a bed for Scene 2 in order to show the fact that it was in the Macbeths’ bedroom. Scene 3 was bare‚ as it had to be a large enough place for the thanes and Lady Macbeth to confer – we imagined that forming a half circle would suffice. Too much props would have ruined the solemn mood of Scene 3‚ right after Duncan’s murder. We also controlled the lighting to make it sufficiently dark‚ in order to add to the dark atmosphere in Scenes 2 and 3. I played

    Macbeth Analyse- 2.a How does Shakespeare make the extract below from Act 2 Scene 2 dramatic and interesting? “Quenched them‚ hath given me fire.” Shakespeare’s using opposites and oxymoronic use of language (paradox) therefore making a contrast of Lady Macbeth’s phrase. He has also showed a comparison of guilt between Macbeth and Lady Macbeth because Lady Macbeth obviously shows that she is not guilty for what she has done but Macbeth does. Again‚ Shakespeare uses oxymoronic use of language for

    The first scene of the second act is the shortest in length‚ but one of the largest in significance. In the beginning of the scene‚ the town is preparing for Reverend Brown’s sermon with eager anticipation. The religious fervour that Brady has been carefully nurturing and cultivating in the people of Hillsboro was to make a dramatic plateau at this sermon. Act 2 – Scene I is also the first time that the slow unceasing progress of the religious fervour was‚ if only momentarily‚ stopped. After Rev

    urge for power can corrupt the most valiant men. We see this in Macbeth in Scene 1 of Act 2. As Macbeth thinks about the three witches prophecy‚ he begins to urge for it to become true. Thinking of the himself becoming king was so strong that it pushed Macbeth to murder King Duncan. In Act 2 Scene 1 it says‚ “...the bell invites me. Hear it not‚ Duncan; for it is a knell that summons thee to heaven or to hell.” In this scene we can see Macbeth actually acting upon his deepest and darkest urges. It
