How Does Tennyson Deal With Brewster
On what I’ve heard it sounds like Tennyson wants to hurt Brewster for something that can help him later in life like that opportunity to make a difference in his life and help brewster with what he could do for brewster. If brewster kept his visuals away from Tennyson he would probably still do it and tennyson wouldn’t have even known that brewster was doing it in the first place. Tennyson needs to try and slow down in the mental mind of his cause if you go to fast for thinking you can find mistakes in what you were doing in the first

    The visual imagery he utilized in the fifty-seventh paragraph elicited fear within me. The soldier caught sight of a huge rat while he was on sentry duty. His description of how big it was brought to mind a monstrous picture of a carnivorous rodent that was “fat” off of the remains of dead soldiers. With it being “three feet away” from his face and looking “steadily at” him, I wondered if the creature was going to attack. Once some animals have a taste of human blood they want more, this is common in rats. But luckily the animal scurried away and left him alone.…

    In the novel, the Outsiders, S. E Hinton portrays all characters except of Dally with very straightforward and realistic personalities throughout the book. However, as the novel gets closer to its terminating point, the readers are able to distinguish the unexpected, and also encounter the impossible turn into a possible. Dally’s tough, cold and fearless personality becomes more hero like and one of the caring kind as he undergoes such significant changes. Besides, we readers always pictured Dally like any other hoodlum, but as we see him face real-life situations and contrasting circumstances, we genuinely start to have a fine perception of his new character. We realize it is through Dally’s extreme time of grief and sadness that all this while it was Dally’s life experience that seemed to have chosen the path for him, which is why the person inside of him never had a chance to be let out.…

    Throughout the scene Claudius depicts a personality that evaluates situations and makes choices out of desire without much concern for consequence. Although Claudius does show a little bit of concern for consequence, he generally acts from an “inner-child” psyche. In the scene, Claudius plots with Laertes and acts quickly out of a sense of DESIRE and makes a plan to kill Hamlet. Demonstrated in the lines; “A sword unbated, and in a pass of practice, Requite him for your father.” (4.7.137 - 140) And “I will do’t. And for that purpose I’ll anoint my sword. I bought unction of a mountebank, So mortal that, but dip a knife in it, Where it draws blood no cataplasm so rare, Collected from all simples that have virtue Under the moon, can save the thing from death That is but scratched withal. I’ll touch my point With this contagion, that if I gall him slightly It may be death.” (4.7. 140 - 145). In these lines, Claudius and Laertes plan to kill hamlet by sharpening a fencing blade and dousing it with a poison that will cripple upon contact. This is clearly a representation of a psyche that acts rapidly out of an intense sense of desire.…

    Event hough Holden has been on his own for a little while knows how to get along without phony adults in his life. I dont know if it just in my mind, but he felt very eager and excited to see his sister, even though he has basically isolated himself to everyone else. He seemed desperate. This showed Holdens contradicted possiblilies of growing up or staying as innocent as you are now. Phoebe is a child, meaning that she is innocent, and that is the way that Holden wants to stay. He probably thinks that if he hangs out with people of the who are young then maybe he can retain that innocence that he may still have.…

    “On my right, the conversation was even worse, though. On my right there was this very Joe Yale-looking guy, in a gray flannel suit and one of those flitty-looking Tattersal vests. All those Ivy League bastards look alike. My father wants me to go to Yale, or maybe Princeton, but I swear I wouldn’t go to one of those Ivy League colleges if I was dying, for God’s sake. Anyway, this Joe Yale-looking guy had a terrific-looking girl with him. Boy, she was good-looking. But you should’ve heard the conversation they were having. In the first place, they were both slightly crooked. What he was doing, he was giving her a feel under the table, and at the same time telling her all about some guy in his dorm that had eaten a whole bottle of aspirin and nearly committed suicide. His date kept saying to him, “How horrible... Don’t, darling. Please, don’t. Not here.” Imagine giving somebody a feel and telling them about a guy committing suicide at the same time! They killed me.” pg. 112…

    He claims to be a sane man yet the idea of killing an old man who’s only wrong doing was to have an ”eye of a vulture – a pale blue eye with a film over it” seems to be perfectly acceptable to him “Harken! And observe how healthily – how calmly I can tell you the whole story”. He goes on to say “I loved the old man. He had never wronged me. He had never given me insult. For his gold I had no desire. I think it was his eye!” Does this sound like the ranting of a sane man? To me it does not. It sounds like a man who is looking at an old man who has done him no wrong yet having the urge to kill him in cold blood. In this urge of his he takes the needed precautions to be undetected up until the very last moment. Going on as though it’s over and done with, he has not been caught and he has the satisfaction of completing his task with a drop of blood anywhere “there was nothing to wash out – no…

    David Tennant's Hamlet

    • 842 Words
    • 4 Pages

    I feel like Doran was attempting to portray Hamlet’s character as truly insane. Since Patrick Stewart plays both the roles of Claudius and the Ghost of Hamlet’s father [making them identical twins], this just adds to the idea that hamlet is truly mad when he says “The counterfeit presentment of two brothers. See what a grace was seated on this brow; Hyperion's curls; the front of Jove himself…” (Doran- Hamlet). Tennant was able to effectively portray the restless state of Hamlet’s Mental instability and his micro expressions pulled off the state of depression and obsession with revenge really well. However, in some scenes the acting, gestures, and yelling were a bit extreme, making some more serious scenes a bit laughable. An example is the scene, “Lady Shall I lie in your lap”, where Tennant’s portrayal of Hamlet’s state of madness was a bit goofy and uncomfortable to watch. Also the scene, “The play’s the thing”, I found the costume choice of a bright orange shirt and jeans, even though I think I understand the costuming choice [that Hamlet was letting himself go in appearance], obnoxious and distracted the viewer from what was going on in the scene.where Tennant’s portrayal of Hamlet’s state of madness was a bit too goofy and was uncomfortable to watch (Doran-Hamlet). There is one scene in the film in particular where the costume choice was a…

    Also, he mentions on page 43, “If still, you think me mad, you will think so no longer.” The narrator is telling the voices in his head that he is not mad and that several little things out of his control drove him to murder. For example, the vulture eye of the old man, the narrator felt that the eye was evil and out to get him. The eye represented death and the narrator seems to have a strange relationship will death. There is no back story on the narrator so one must infer based off of the text that he has a fear of death. Whenever the old man’s eye made contact with him, the narrator says that his “blood ran cold; and so by degrees, very gradually” (41) and in death a human’s skin and blood turns cold. The narrator’s feelings towards death drove him to madness. He thought the only way to escape death was to kill the man to rid himself of the eye. The narrator’s relationship with dead and the disease that he mentions in the first few sentences come together and causes him to suffer from paranoia. For example, he believes that an eye is out to get him “it was not the old man who vexed me, but his Evil Eye” (42). The old man nor his eye has never done anything malice towards him, it was all in his head. His paranoia manifested itself into voices in his head. These voices led him to commit murder and thus turn himself into…

    Near the beginning of the play, Hamlet is approached by the ghost of his slain Father. The specter urges Hamlet to take action against Claudius, who murdered him in his sleep. Hamlet appears forthcoming about his desires for revenge: “Haste me to know’t, that I, with wings as swift as meditating, or the thoughts of love, may sweep to my revenge.” (1.5.29-31). He now has a purpose to seek, the revenge of his father’s death. However, this bravado quickly sours as throughout the following scenes Hamlet constantly delays his task. Simply put, Hamlet could walk into the palace and slay Claudius where he stands, but to Hamlet, this is not the manner of which he would handle this task. He begins to devise a plan: “As I perchance hereafter shall think meet to put an antic disposition on, that you, at such times seeing me, never shall with arms encumber’d thus, or this head-shake, or by pronouncing some doubtful phrase…” (2.1.170-175). Here Hamlet states his intent to feign madness. What purpose does this serve in his quest to kill Claudius? To Hamlet, he believes that acting as a madman will give him more ground to investigate the crime, as no criminal would be scared of the delusions of a crazed man. But to the common reader, one could see this as a ploy of a man who does not know where to go. The purpose of feigning madness seems scant when the goal is to prove a dastardly deed has been committed and to punish the deviant. Hamlet’s uncertainties are numerous in this portion of the play, and he expands his “plan” to a group of actors: “You…

    While Hamlet is acting mad, he can use this to buy him some precious time. Hamlet can act as if he is insane while he continuous to gather as much evidence as he can to show the guiltiness of Claudius. While pretending to be mad Hamlet has a slight advantage because of Gertrude’s and Claudius thought of Hamlets mental wellbeing after his father had died. Hamlet while masked in madness determines who truly his companion is and who is not. While doing so he sorts out the weak from the strong determining how to take his exact revenge. Hamlet does not take murdering well for a revengeful act so his mad act provide himself with a genius way to cover while he figures out how to seek revenge.…
