...The article talks about how the lack of legal rules in relation with organ transplants has affected Iran. Due to the lack of regulations the donor market has become a competitive business especially Kidney donations and these are primarily funded trough 2 major charity organizations in Teheran. The donations of kidneys for a could lump sum has become drastically competitive where people are advertising the sale of their kidneys on posters and papers along with their blood type and other information that they believe will attract a buyer. The article also talks about how desperate people just opt for this option without understanding the risks simply because of the lack of regulations for such transplants. One incident in the article states that a mother was willing to sell her kidney just so that she would have a dowry to find her daughter a husband and fund her wedding as their culture say that those are the duties of a parent. The article also talks about how the lack of such regulation in Iran promotes international organ trafficking. 1) Is the ‘Business’ mentioned in your case ‘just like any other business’, or is it open to moral criticism? Think of individual and social rights of stakeholders involved, principles of equity, justice and respect for human dignity when defending your answer. The business mentioned in the case is open to moral criticism because it involves the lives of people; it involves people giving out part of their organs. Some argue whether it...

...Shakespeare wrote plays and poems. His plays were comedies, histories and tragedies. His 17 comedies include A Midsummer Night’s Dream and The Merry Wives of Windsor. Among his 10 history plays are Henry V and Richard III. The most famous among his 10 tragedies are Hamlet, Othello, and King Lear. Shakespeare’s best-known poems are The Sonnets, first published in 1609. What are the quartos? Shakespeare’s plays began to be printed in 1594, probably with his tragedy Titus Andronicus. This appeared as a small, cheap pamphlet called a quarto because of the way it was printed. Eighteen of Shakespeare’s plays had appeared in quarto editions by the time of his death in 1616. Another three plays were printed in quarto before 1642. In 1623 an expensive folio volume of 36 plays by Shakespeare was printed, which included most of those printed in quarto. Why are the quartos important? None of Shakespeare’s manuscripts survives, so the printed texts of his plays are our only source for what he originally wrote. The quarto editions are the texts closest to Shakespeare’s time. Some are thought to preserve either his working drafts (his foul papers) or his fair copies. Others are thought to record versions remembered by actors who performed the plays, providing information about staging practices in Shakespeare’s day. Was married to Anne...

...Shakespeare's plays are largely divided into three parts. Tragedy, comedy and histories. So I'll only be a problem here. Shakespeare plays Should belong to one part? The answer is a tragedy. In some it may even be questioned. Why dealing with the past, Roman histories is not it? My answer to this is simple. This is because all classifications published after Shakespeare's 'First Folio (First Folio)' it is based on. (The First Folio was published the first time Shakespeare's complete works, it is based on a manuscript of Shakespeare 0.2 All plays are recorded was minus the work is a collection which is in fact today the basic work of all Shakespeare also one of today's most expensive book.) First classification of the portfolio is simple: Once happy with the hero comedy, tragedy ends with the death of the hero, and British history, precisely when the King of England plays on histories. Today, Shakespeare's histories of groups mean plays on the kings of England....

...THE BARD & CO Book Review - The Bard & Co: Shakespeare’s Role in Modern Business Editors – Jim Davies, John Simmons & Rob Williams Published – Cyan Books Year – 2007 Place – London No author perhaps has had the kind of influence Shakespeare has had on our lives in different forms. This book is another example of Shakespeare’s influence, this time on the business world of today. Twenty six contemporary writers have paired with a Shakespeare play and one of the lead actors of the First Folio list to give us this delightful new insight of the play and the role. The book is a delightful collection of essays on Shakespeare’s role in contemporary business world. That we have very little biographical sketch to go by demands that “imagination has had to work harder than memory”. And given the “breadth, vivacity, wit and life” of Shakespeares’ plays and their performances, one cannot help but imagine that those actors would be chuckling in sotto voce behind their masks, at our attempt “to capture some sense of their lives and their contribution to the world” It is fitting that a book on Shakespeare’s role in modern business should be introduced by Dominic Dromgoole, the artistic Director of Globe Theatre. According to him, the theatre actor is the most impermanent of all artistes, considering that once a play is over, there is no remanence of his work except the printed “dramatis personae at the beginning of the published play”. He bows in obeisance to that “mysterious...

...Renaissance Literature December 10, 2012 Should Shakespeare be taught to Minority Students? Shakespeare is a staple in the English curriculum in American schools. Beginning in seventh or eighth grade, students are fed a steady diet of his tragedies, comedies, histories, and sometimes even the sonnets. Before Michael, Madonna or Prince, he was the one-name artist everyone could relate to globally. This wasn’t always the case. The branding of the name is not accidental. Even more than “William Shakespeare play-wright to American school students” the word Shakespeare, has become a trademark representing the culture and values of a nation. I approached this project with the firm belief that teaching Shakespeare to non-white students was harmful to their development. Shakespeare being taught to non-white students is a problem because they are being told that their culture isn’t enough. Is this a message we want to send after the last 40 years of minority groups demanding, and receiving, inclusion into society? Aren’t there any other works that could be substituted for the works of Shakespeare’s? Plenty of good candidates are published every year but they aren’t taken seriously. Why not? One reason is of course the name brand recognition of Shakespeare. He has had 500 years to gain a position in the public eye. Another reason is the many contributions that he has made to the English language. Many of the tried and true turn of phrases used today come from his characters...

...How does Shakespeare explore the theme of ‘Justice’ in King Lear? It is often assumed that the role of ‘Justice’ within a play is to serve as the source of goodness and anti-thesis of suffering, however in ‘King Lear’ Shakespeare utilises the theme of Justice to portray powerful messages, providing not just a contrast to the deterioration within the play but an explanation for the anguish witnessed. The notion of ‘Poetic Justice’ or deserved retribution is arguably denied by Shakespeare in ‘King Lear’, revealing the dangers of ‘unnatural evils’ and their far reaching consequences through its absence. The uncomfortable dramatic irony throughout Gloucester’s journey to his attempted suicide as he calls out for his ‘dear son Edgar,’ unaware that he stands before him, leaves the audience desiring union and peace for the victim of a horribly vivid crime. Despite this, resolution is never achieved, the eventual union causes only further death and is reported alongside Edgars regret, ‘’Never - O fault - revealed myself’, and bitter comments about Gloucester's ‘flawed heart’. As a result Shakespeare builds pity for the character of Gloucester to an unbearable level, denies the audience an opportunity for ‘catharsis’ and hence Gloucester's fate feels poetically unjust. In a society that saw suicide as a deadly sin, synonymous with questioning God’s wisdom and an ingratitude for the sacrifice of Christ, the real significance of Gloucester’s hopeless situation lies in it serving as...

...Themes Although Romeo and Juliet is classified as a tragedy, it more closely resembles Shakespeare's comedies than his other tragedies. The lovers and their battle with authority is reminiscent of As You Like It and The Winter's Tale. "Characteristically, those comedies concern themselves with the inborn, unargued stupidity of older people and the life-affirming gaiety and resourcefulness of young ones. The lovers thread their way through obstacles set up by middle aged vanity and impercipience. Parents are stupid and do not know what it best for their children or themselves . . . [Romeo and Juliet] begins with the materials for a comedy - the stupid parental generation, the instant attraction of the young lovers, the quick surface life of street fights, masked balls and comic servants" (Wain, p. 107). Indeed, one could view Romeo and Juliet as a transitional play in which Shakespeare merges the comedic elements perfected in his earlier work with tragic elements he would later perfect in the great tragedies -- Hamlet, Othello, Macbeth, and King Lear. This mixture of styles ultimately hurts Romeo and Juliet, exposing the immaturity of the playwright. The heroes of the play must contend with external forces that impede their relationship, but, unlike the great tragic heroes, they are devoid of the inner struggle that makes for great tragedy. The influential Shakespearean scholar, A.C. Bradley, went so far as to neglect the play entirely in his well-known collection of lectures...

...Mariana: Shakespeare's “The Tempest” was set in a fictional island that was somewhere in the Mediterranean in renaissance Europe. The imaginary island gave Shakespeare the opportunity to create endless possibilities for activities in the story. The island was described as “ barren and arid” and magical place. The Twelfth Night was set in an imaginary Dukedom in a city called Illyria which is today parts of Serbia, Slovenia, Bosnia, Albania, Croatia, and Montenegro. It is a place set on the Adriatic coast which gave Shakespeare the perfect mysterious setting he had in mind for his play. The main part of the play takes place in Paris and Roussillon France and as well as Italy. Shakespeare's “Measure for Measure” takes place in the Catholic...

The main character being Macbeth display’s ignorance throughout his life, deaths, and magic. Another story display’s ignorance throughout it, this story is known as Arthur. King Arthur’s story also includes death and magic through ignorance. Macbeth had believed three witches and so he ignorantly killed his king, Duncan.

...Shakespeare, why thou no talk normally. The title of the play is Hamlet By Shakespeare. The play was about Claudius who killed Old Hamlet because he wanted to become king instead of Hamlet. The title of the movie is The Lion King By Cris Sanders. The Lion King is about Scar who kills Mufasa. He becomes king and Mufasa’s son runs away and comes back a while later to recover his crown. William Shakespeare’s Hamlet and Disney’s The Lion King are similar because the brothers are evil and kill their brothers to become the ruler of the people. The two stories are different because the kings were killed in a different way. The Lion King and the play of Hamlet is similar by them being kings as well as the brothers killing them.

...Reason and Self-Knowledge: Cross Species Comparison in King Lear The equivocal distinction between humans and animals captivated early modern thought, permeating works of literature and performance, including Shakespeare’s King Lear. While scholars have explored the connection between early modern views of the species divide and the usage of animal rhetoric in the play, many have neglected Lear’s development, using him only as a gateway for historical discourse. Shakespeare’s use of cross-species analogy provides extensive insight into the evolution of the character’s sanity and his changing understanding of his status as both a king and a human that is necessary for understanding his moral status at the point of his death. Through historical context and examinations of various speeches provided by scholars, as well as close analysis of Lear’s dialogue, one realizes that Lear’s approach to reasonability is only temporary and the character is ultimately no more moral than an animal/ less upright than the animals he condemns. In the early modern period, man “was becoming increasingly self-conscious, more anxious concerning his identity,” and consideration of human status among other living things was of great interest (Jorgensen 33). Even prior to the appearance of Cartesian philosophy of human/animal binarism, early modern intellectuals cited various distinctions between humans and animals as evidence of mans’ exceptionalism, including rationality, self-knowledge, and eternal...

...William Shakespeare is one of the greatest playwrights of all time. Macbeth and Othello are two of Shakespeare’s most popular dramas still to this day. Like all Shakespearean heroes, Othello and Macbeth possess a tragic flaw that eventually leads to their downfall. Othello kills out of jealousy, while Macbeth kills out of ambition. In both of these dramas, Othello and Macbeth possess human characteristics that drive them to commit evil acts. Although their tragic flaws are entirely different, they share in remorse for their actions, which allows the audience to sympathize with them. In the story of Othello, Shakespeare portrays a tale of how a man’s trust is betrayed, ultimately leading to a tragic ending. Othello, the main character, is a highly respected general in Florence, Italy. Iago, Othello’s supposed friend, cannot stand Othello out of jealousy for his title and prestige. This hatred is revealed in the opening Act of the play as Iago speaks about Othello to Roderigo. Roderigo asks Iago, “Thou toldst me thou didst hold him in thy hate.” Iago replies by saying, Despise me/ If I do not. Three great ones of the city,/ In personal suit to make me his lieutenant,/ Off-capped to him; and, by the faith of man,/ I know my price, I am worth no worse a place./ But he, as loving his own pride and purposes,/ Evades them with a bombast circumstance. (1. 1. 8-14) Iago’s hatred for Othello fuels his plot to destroy him and all that he has worked for. The tragedy Othello, is centered...

... Hamlet is said to be one the best literary works of all time and in my opinion, it may be, but many people have different opinions and interpretations of this play. Hamlet, Shakespeare’s longest play at 4,042 lines, was written in the 1600s. Hamlet is considered to be a revenge tragedy (Boyce). The story takes place in Denmark, where the king has been murdered by is brother, who then takes the thrown and marries the queen. Later, the prince Hamlet finds out after the ghost of his deceased father informs him. He then proceeds to take revenge on the murderer of his father (Shakespeare). One of the most outstanding parts of this play is the character Hamlet. He is one of the most complex characters in literature. There is constant debate to whether he is actually crazy or is acting crazy to cover for the acts he plans to commit. The revenge tragedy of Hamlet is often critiqued as Shakespeare’s most problematic play and that Hamlet is the most complex character of Shakespeare. Hamlet is a very complex character because he plays many roles. These roles include hero, son, lover, avenger, prince, and even a warrior. There are few characters in literature that can fit in to so many roles like Hamlet. He is a hero because he is the people’s favorite. When people read Hamlet they favor Hamlet to succeed in his goals. He can be described as the son since he is the son of the deceased king and is seeking revenge for his father. Hamlet’s unclear relationship with Ophelia gives him...
