The Art of Appeasement and the Political, Religious and Social Issues Reflected in William Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet," "The Merchant of Venice" and "Macbeth"
[ send me this paper ]

Specifically considered is how Shakespeare was able to diplomatically handle the political and religious aspects of his plays in order to secure funding for them, i.e., what he would have to do to appease the monarchy and the church.

The Lord and Lady Macbeth - a pair to draw to
[ send me this paper ]
(5pp) When we met Macbeth with the witches we hear with him...that "fair is foul and foul is fair" (I i 10). Initially you can brush it off as witch talk of rhymes and bubbles, but then when looking at the characters of both Lord and Lady Macbeth, and the things surrounding them you find that those characterizations are indeed true. Both of them are in the prime of their lives; they are handsome, as the Scots go, and they have attained wealth, success and power, those things that we initially feel will make our lives complete, and for a while they thought too their lives were complete. They were "fair" indeed. Then as we start to see them in action, with each other and with their guests, we know that their fairness covers a foul plot.

The “Real” Macbeth -- Shakespeare and Revisionist History
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page report discusses the fact that the real King Macbeth has been erroneously portrayed through Shakespeare’s dramatic license. While other Shakespearean characters are clearly responsible for their evil actions as portrayed in the dramas, the story of Macbeth actually manipulates the facts of history. However, because Shakespeare’s story does not include actual historical information, it is essential that the dialogue and actions that take place in “Macbeth” be analyzed in the context of the historical information they provide or to which they allude. Such a process allows the reader to gain a better perspective on the political situation in England during Shakespeare’s time, the issues of greatest concern, and Shakespeare’s own willingness to play (pun intended) to the greatest political expediency.
