Atticus brings out in the trail the fact that Bob Ewell is left handed. The right side of his daughters face is beat up so if Tom is right handed it would be hard to hit her hard on her right. Therefore proving Bob beat his daughter not Tom.

When Bernard Shaw wrote his book, he thought very carefully about the title. He got the inspiration from an ancient Greek myth.

The original Pygmalion was about a king who fell in love with a statue of a beautiful lady and wished it was a real woman. Aphrodite granted his wish and they married and lived happily for the rest of their lives.

In Bernard Shaw's book, a young man called Freddy falls in love with a beautiful flower girl called Eliza (who he will never be able to marry because she is so poor) and wished that Eliza could be a rich, admirable woman. A speech-expert called Henry Higgins granted his wish (by teaching Eliza to speak properly) and Eliza and Freddy married and lived happily for the rest of their lives.

In both the stories, a man falls in love with a woman who he can never marry or be with, so he makes a wish, his wish is granted, and they live together happily, which is why Bernard Shaw named his book Pygmalion.

This is not a question to which you can give a simple answer. Brutus was a friend - there were even rumours that he was Caesar's illegitimate son. This is why Caesar says, "Et tu, Brutus" - "Even you, Brutus", because he finds it hard to believe that Brutus, of all people, would stab him.

The point is that Brutus has become convinced that Caesar might be plotting to make himself emperor, or encouraging the people of Rome to "force" a crown on him. Brutus passionately believed in the old Roman Republic - in the play he is often seen as a model of the virtues of Republican Rome. One of those virtues is the defence of Rome against would-be conquerors or against anyone trying to rule Rome with a crown on his head.

So when Brutus is convinced that Caesar is trying to become Emperor, he is persuaded that there is no way to stop this political disaster except the death of Caesar, whose popularity, wealth, cunning and army will overcome all other means of stopping him.

Think of it as the relationship between an uncle and a favourite nephew, where the nephew has been persuaded by senior establishment figures that if Freedom is to be Preserved, Uncle Caesar must die.

It is a measure of the nobleness of Brutus's nature (as the Romans saw it) that when he sees this disaster as almost inevitable, he knows that even breaking the bond between friends and between mentor and pupil, has to come second to the good of Rome. The feelings of Brutus the man, have to be replaced by the feelings of Brutus, the defender of the Republic, and Caesar has become an enemy to the Republic.

This is also why the rest of the conspirators (especially Cassius) want Brutus as part of their coup d'etat. If the rest of the Romans believe that Brutus judged it necessary to kill Caesar, then they might believe that the whole plot was justified. So Brutus's closeness to Caesar is politically essential to the plotters, and - of course - makes Brutus's decisions that much more gripping for the audience at the play.

Friar Lawrence sends a letter to Romeo, who is in Mantua, detailing his plan to fake the death of Juliet, and have Romeo bring her to Mantua where they can both live happily ever after. He gives the letter to Friar John, who is supposed to bring the letter to Romeo ASAP. Friar John never makes it to Romeo, because he was quarantined due to an outbreak of the Plague. Therefore, he brought the letter back to Friar Lawrence. This messed up Friar Lawrence' plan, as he had already set it in motion.

Christiano Ronaldo usually plays as a winger on the left side.

Shylock's evil plan was to lend Antonio 3000 ducats (quite a lot of money) interest-free, the only condition being that it had to be paid in full on a certain day. Does this sound evil? It shouldn't.

Ah, but the catch is, if Antonio doesn't repay on that day, Shylock can kill him. In truly evil fashion, Shylock tells Antonio all about this clause and gets him to agree to it before the money is lent. Well, if you think about it, that's not very evil is it?

If you think Shylock is exploiting Antonio's being in a desperate financial condition to foist an unfair contract on him, think again. Antonio does not need the money. He's borrowing it for a friend, who doesn't really need it either, but wants to impress a girl and has blown all of his own cash.

After Antonio has agreed to mortgage his heart for the loan, almost everybody in the play thinks he should be let off when it proves that he was overconfident and couldn't make good on his promise. But Shylock didn't want to do that because a deal's a deal, and Antonio, like most of the Christians in Venice, is an Anti-Semitic schmuck who spits on Jews like Shylock, and calls him names and tries to undercut his business. Shylock didn't have much hope at getting back at any Christians, not even Antonio who in all probability would have paid up in the required time, but here a chance presents itself that enables Shylock to legally get revenge on one of them.

Ah, but he is foiled by the truly evil plan in this play. Shylock, like anyone else, should be entitled to a fair legal hearing in front of an impartial judge to enforce his rights. Portia, the wife of Bassanio, Antonio's best friend, falsely impersonates a lawyer and cons the Duke into making her the judge hearing this particular case. So much for having an impartial judge. She then not only denies Shylock's suit on a loophole, but also says that he is not entitled to get his money back. What is more, she makes up a law which says that Jewish people are not allowed access to the courts in Venice to enforce their rights (if doing so imperils the life of a Christian) on punishment of death. If Shylock was evil for conniving at Antonio's death, how much worse is Portia's conniving at Shylock's? Antonio got a benefit from Shylock, for which he refuses to pay the price. Shylock gets no benefit from this transaction whatsoever, and yet is forced to pay heavily for it. Antonio agreed that he could legally be put to death if he broke his promise. Shylock made no such agreement. Antonio was totally free from compulsion when he agreed to mortgage his body parts. Shylock is threatened with death and robbed of his property and his immortal soul.

It is Portia who has the evil plan.

yes the Greeks had plays they also had poetry, literacy, and more...Greeks plays were held at cerant places

Edit: Yes, the Greeks did have plays. Tons, actually. A common theme in many of these place was some sort of tragedy. Western theatre was born in Athens, Greece between 600 and 200 BC, created by the Athenians. The tragedy often represented in these Greek plays weren't the sole result of someone's artistic ability, but moreso the result of what was going on in Greece during the time. They were also often designed to show the rights and wrongs in life.

Nobody. He kills Polonius in Act 3 scene 4.

The duration of Look Back in Anger - film - is 1.63 hours.

the setting of a play is where Louis wants it to be

Ophelia appears to obey whenever her brother or father tell her anything. She's annoyed at Laertes's urge toward chastity, since she suspects him of being a hypocrite, but she agrees anyway. She's very meek, up until she goes mad.

Into the city, where Biff plans to ask his old boss for a loan

Downtown, so Biff can ask for a loan from Bill Oliver

A masque. These were pompous and rather static entertainments which were popular at the time. In including one in the play, Shakespeare was bowing to the popular taste for spectacle. Such spectacular scenes were a feature of his late plays: in A Winter's Tale a real bear appears on the stage, in Cymbeline an actor representing Jupiter is lowered from the stage ceiling for no good dramatic reason, and Henry VIII is full of long and spectacular processions.

Ariel

Lysander loves Hermia and Hermia loves Lysander. Demetrius used to love Helena but is now in love with Hermia. Helena loves Demetrius. Egeus, Hermia's father, orders Hermia to marry Demetrius and gets the Duke of Athens involved, who explains to Hermia that if she does not obey her father she may be beheaded or forced into a life of nunnery. Next, Hermia and Lysander escape to the forest to hide from the Duke and Egeus, but Demetrius and Helena follow. Meanwhile, Oberon, King of the Fairies, and Titania, Queen of the Fairies are arguing over a boy who Titania adopted.

Later, Oberon orders Puck to squeeze a special love juice in Titania's eyes as she sleeps so that the first creature she sees when she wakes up, she will fall in love with. Then, after hearing Demetrius rejecting Helena, Oberon decides that Puck should then squeeze juice into Demetrius' eyes to make him fall in love with Helena. However, Puck makes a mistake and puts the juice in the eyes of Lysander instead. Helena then stumbles over Lysander and awakes him, which causes him to then fall in love with Helena, growing hatred for Hermia, and rejects her for her best friend and man stealer Helena.

In the middle of all of this confusion, a group of workmen from Athens are rehearsing a play that they will perform at the Duke's wedding. The two main actors are Nick Bottom and Peter Quince. Puck mischieviously casts a spell on Nick Bottom and magically gives him the head of a donkey! But, Bottom is the very first thing that Titania sees as she awakes and instantly falls in love with him!

As Titania and Bottom admire eachother, Oberon again orders Puck to make sure DEMETRIUS falls in love with Helena and eventually Puck gets it right. Although, with Lysander AND Demetrius follow Helena like lost puppies, Helena feels she is being mocked.

Finally Oberon decides that all the confusion must come to an end and puts all four lovers to sleep and gives Lysander an antidote for the juice so that he will again fall in love with Hermia. Oberon also gives Titania an antidote and the Fairy King and Queen are reunited.

Theseus and Hippolyta find the four lovers in the forest and see the love they have for their admired ones and decide that they should have a joint wedding. So, they all live happily ever after, whilst watching Nick Bottom and Peter Quince's dedicated play.

He died in his palace at Memleben after celebrating Easter with a great assembly. He died from a strong fever as one of then strongest leaders after Charlemenge.

No one knows who the author is. It is anonymous.

That is the truth, I am reading Everyman in class.

Banquo's line, "A heavy summons lies like lead upon me and yet I would not sleep," expresses his feeling or premonition that something was terribly wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it. The line "There's husbandry in heaven; night's candles are all out" is memorable but not significant.

It's not wholly clear but accounts of a shipwreck on Bermuda in 1609 are thought to have been among them.
