Shere does not have an equivalent English meaning, however "sher" in urdu translates to "tiger" in English

There is a sort of conflict in Lady Macbeth's mind between what she wants to do (i.e. kill Duncan) and what she suspects rightly Macbeth will want to do (i.e. not kill Duncan). She therefore sets about persuading him to let her plan the murder, so she can overcome the objections she knows he will make.

Faustus thinks he is really a smarty pants. Apparently having exhausted all that there is to know in Academia, he makes a pact with Lucifer through his Massinger Mephistopheles. The deal gives Faustus 24 years of earth life under Mephistopheles as his guide in exchange for his soul. Faustus wishes to know all nature of things in the universe. Mephistopheles answers (save for who created the universe?). The rest of the sub-plots involve Faustus using his new book of magic to play pranks on the Pope or make antlers grow out of a knight's head. Faust pretty much squanders his time performing tricks and partaking in earthly delights. The ending ties in with the initial plot conflict. The devil wants his payment.

They are cousins, both Montagues. Young men, caught up in the conflict with the Capulets (the rival family) and with life in the City. They are also very different. Mercutio is talkative, protective, street-smart, a little older, more aware of his surroundings. Romeo is more of an introvert and a romantic, falling in and out of love easily. He lives, in part, in his own dreamy world. His father also thinks him soft, a little weepy ("his tears augment the fresh morning's dew"). Mercutio dies protecting Romeo from Tybalt, Julie's favorite cousin; Romeo then kills Tybalt.

Before the Duke Reaches Othello, News Arrives in Venice that the Turks are going to attack Cyprus. Othello is Summoned to advise the Senators.

I had to do a persausive letter on this here is a part of it:

I know you had your heart set on marrying Demetrius, but Lysander is more worthy. Lysander truly loves me and always will, but how do you know that Demetrius always will too? "Demetrius, I'll avouch it to his head, Made love to Nedar's daughter, Helena… Upon this spotted and inconstant man" (15). Demetrius was in love with Helena until he saw me. He just ran out on her, and now her heart is broken in two because of him. While it is true that Demetrius loves me, he also loved Helena and now he is treating her poorly. If I did wed him, he might run out on someone again, and then my heart would be broken. And he would treat me how he treats Helena now. Lysander would always be with me and would be kind and gentle. Unlike that warped gasty-witted flirt-gill, Demetrius!

Hamlet's mother is Gertrude. She is the queen of Denmark and is married to Claudius. She was originally married to Old Hamlet before he was murdered by Claudius. Gertrude is a weak woman that needs a man around her (ie. her quick marriage to Claudius). Gertrude loves Hamlet dearly, but also watches as Hamlet is sent away to his death.

Nobody, actually. The third apparition, a crowned child holding a tree, says this:

Macbeth shall never vanquish'd be until

Great Birnam wood to high Dunsinane hill

Shall come against him.

Later Macbeth, to reassure himself, says this:

I will not be afraid of death and bane,

Till Birnam forest come to Dunsinane.

Later still Macbeth says this when it is reported to him that Birnam Wood appears to be approaching Dunsinane.

'Fear not, till Birnam wood

Do come to Dunsinane:' and now a wood

Comes toward Dunsinane.

Not because he is mean; he is not at heart a cruel man. But he has been so tortured by jealousy that he is angry with Desdemona all the while he still desperately loves her. The outrage is not only that he hits her (that's bad enough) but he hits her in public. Nobody who knew them in Venice can believe it.

A play within a play is a term used to describe a situation in a play where, usually, the actors are either watching a play or putting on a play. One example of this is the 1982 play Noises Off by English playwright Michael Frayn. In Noises Off, the actors are performing a play called Nothing On, a comedy that goes wrong in every possible way offstage,.

Bestial. They want to make their relationship look like one of mere sexual pleasure, such as beasts might have. That is why the expression "making the beast with two backs."

He's a man of wax. That's a good thing, apparently. However, it does seem that the nurse would say this about any suitor for Juliet who was more or less male. After saying that about Paris, she is extremely complimentary about Romeo in Act II Scene 5. Then when it seems convenient to do so, suddenly (in Act III Scene 5) she's complimenting Paris again: "O! He's a lovely gentleman; Romeo's a dishclout to him."

She stoops to Conquer is a comedy by the Irish author Oliver Goldsmith. The play was initially titled as Mistakes of a Night and the events in the play, indeed, happen during the time frame of one night. Mr.Hardcastle, a rich countryman plans to marry his daughter Kate to the son of his old friend, Sir Charles Marlow. Hardcastle's second wife is determined in marrying her spoiled son, Tony Lumpkin to her niece, Constance Neville in order to keep her fortune, a casket of jewels within the family. But Miss Neville has plans to marry Hastings, a friend of young Marlow. While Hardcastle's family is eagerly awaiting the arrival of Marlow and his friend, Hastings, the friends stop at the village Inn to inquire their way. Tony Lumpkin, who is present there, realizes their identity and plays a joke by telling them that they are far away from their destination and asks them to stay at an inn, recommending Hardcastle house as the best Inn around there. Thus the friends arrive there and treat Mr.Hardcastle as mere Inn keeper. This enrages Mr.Hardcastle and is convinced that Marlow is not suitable for his daughter. On the other hand, Young Marlow who is nervous in the presence of ladies of his own social status, yet quite the quite opposite with lower-class women doesn't look properly at Kate on their first meeting. Kate realizes this and stoops to conquer him, by posing as bar maid and putting Marlow at his ease so that he falls for her in the process. However, he changes his mind when he realizes the truth behind Marlow's behaviour. The play concludes with Mr.Hardcastle realizing the truth behind Marlow's behaviour and changing his mind; Kate succeeding in her plan and getting engaged to Marlow; Tony Lumpkin discovering he is of age and receives his entitled money, which his mother hides from him. He refuses to marry Ms.Neville, who then gets her entitled jewels and gets engaged to Mr.Hastings. So all is well that ends well.

When about to divide his kingdom among his three daughters, he asks them how much they love him, and he will give each of them part of the kingdom based on their respective answers. His eldest daughter, Goneril, proclaims her love for him in a very exaggerated tone, saying "A love that makes breath poor and speech unable; / Beyond all manner of so much I love you." His middle daughter, Regan, spills out an equally melodramatic response in saying her love for him. His youngest and favorite daughter, Cordelia, merely says "Nothing, my lord", justifying that "I cannot heave my heart into my mouth", or what she feels she cannot form into words.

He was a wealthy man who tied Portia to a lottery which meant that she could only marry a man who passed the test.

Kings and Queens did not go to plays in Shakespeare's day. The plays went to them. The actors would all go to the court where the monarch lived along with their attendants and put on the play in a hall in Hampton Court or whatever palace it was.

Shakespeare's plays (with Shakespeare acting in them) were played at the courts of Queen Elizabeth I and King James I and his consort Queen Anne.

If you are talking about Death of a Salesman, which I assume you are, Willy Loman comes home because he is too "tired" and simply "couldn't drive anymore". This signifies Willy's exhaustion and also eludes to the beginnings of Willy's mental illness. He states that he was "unable to drive anymore" and Linda is alarmed by this. She acts this way because she idolizes him. She sees him as a man with little imperfections and does her best to make excuses for his flaws. This is what makes Willy the perfect tragic antihero. He was never a great man, but he was idolized by at least one person, and that happened to be his wife.

It's called East Lynne, famous for the line "Gone! And never called me mother."

Nora tells Torvald to go away after the party because she feels like Torvald has treated her badly. She wants to leave Torvald and her children.

The Glass Menagerie is basically a book of symbolism. Laura is mainly represented by her precious glass menagerie. When Tom breaks some peices of it this symbolizes Laura's shattered emotions thoughout the story. The storm in the story also represent Laura's inner tormoils. The unicorn that she gives to Jim towards the end is a perfect example of her. When she describes it to Jim she is basically describing herself- fragile, different, and lonely. When the horn breaks it symbolizes Laura's transformation into a more normal preson.

Miranda was Prospero's daughter. She did not meet him on the island. She was with him since they were forced out of Milan by his brother.
