Said by Hamlet in Act 1, Scene 5:

"...O villain, villain, smiling, damned villain!

My tables,--meet it is I set it down,

That one may smile, and smile, and be a villain;

At least I'm sure it may be so in Denmark..."

Is the Phantom from The Phantom of the Opera a villain-I need to do an essay on a villain and I need to make sure he is one first?

Well, he may appear to be a villain at first, however I would not call him a villain at heart. I would try picking another indisputable villain. Lets take a look at some famous villains.Darth VaderFreddy KruegerBlackbeard - pirateJack the RipperFrank and Jesse James - western villainI'm sure you can come up with more. This is how www.dictionary.com defines the word "villain": vil·lain-noun 1. a cruelly malicious person who is involved in or devoted to wickedness or crime; scoundrel. 2. a character in a play, novel, or the like, who constitutes an important evil agency in the plot. I do not think that the Phantom fits in the first definition because he is not truly cruel; everything he does, he thinks he does it for a reason other than sadistic tendencies. He is not safe in his mind and therefore is simply willing to do anything for what he wants; i.e., Christine. He is simply trying to get something rather than doing it for no reason other than his pleasure. However, it may be argued that he fits the second definition. It can certainly be argued that the Phantom is not "evil", but that is his role in the play and movie; he is the antagonist. However, it can be argued that he is in fact the protagonist and a victim of the unfeeling demands of perfection from society. Do I believe that the Phantom is a villain? No; I think he is a person who needs guidance and shelter in order to get his priorities straight. Are there others who think that he is a villain? Yes, I'm quite sure that there are. It's an extremely arguable point and it is very hard to pin it down.

One may smile and smile and be no friend heart should smile with the face?

what does this question mean...i think you mean one may smile and be no friend ''do they smile'' the face. (its not really a question but ill answer it) yes... just because someone smiles at you it doesnt mean they like you, they can just merely be saying leave or why is she talking to me. i do this quite often especially to the boys who hit on me. but although that is one way to decipher why someone may smile at you it may be because htey are being friendly or very kind they may want to talk to you or something in that catergory, people who smile but dont mean anything by the smile just means their happy but bc you put your catergory in teen dating i think it can be both smiles ''can'' mean something or they ''dont'' for example someone you like may smile at you and you would probably take it that the smile means ur crush likes you back and vice versa i hope i answered ur question my girlsense.com name is cassiegrll and you can place more questions on my boutique if youd like ... (its for boys too if ur a boy)

How do you know a girl likes you but does not talk to you?

Sometimes a girl may not talk to you but still show the signs. Like she might smile really sweetly to you. Or if both of your eyes meet up, she may look away after one or two seconds. It's kind of like flirting, but without talking.
