Captain Shakespeare is the only son of the legendary Captain Ghost maker. Shakespeare dreamed of England, the world across the Wall, but was bound to become a notorious pirate because of his heritage. One day, while flying using his ship to collect lightning, Shakespeare caught Tristan Thorne and Ynaine in his nets. They ended up in his nets because they got stuck in a cloud, after barely escaping from the close encounter with the witch Lamia. Lamia tried to cut out Ynanie’s heart, which would provide Lamia with endless youth. Ynanie and Tristan manage to escape with the use of a Babylon candle which ends both of them up in a storm cloud. After being caught to keep up with Shakespeare reputation, Shakespeare acted as a violent interrogator, who threw Tristan out of the porthole to intimate his crew. However, unaware to his crew, Shakespeare was acting as host to the two hitchhikers after Tristan had stated that he was from England. The Captain revealed to them that he was, in fact, a cross-dresser who disliked for violence. He promised to drop the two off near the wall as soon as possible. Also provides them food, new clothes, and a stay to rest. He does more than just act as a friendly host he also acts as mentor to Tristan and Ynanie he teaches Tristan how to fence, Ynaine to waltz and most importantly helps them find true love.
At the beginning of them movie you’ll notice that Tristan isn’t very good when it comes to fencing, in fact, he’s pretty bad. The first time we see him fencing was against Humphrey. Not only does he get his butt whoop, he also gets embarrassed in front of Victoria. The first time Captain Shakespeare showed Tristan to fence he was still pretty bad at it, but after a while Tristan learned pretty...

...stan figured out his true love was always Ynanie because they went through a lot things together on their quest, also have gotten to know each other better. While he didn’t really find true love with Victoria it was more like false love. It was almost like falling in love with a shiny object. Also show that ynanie can find love as well rather than just watching others fall in love from the sky.
Captain Shakespeare acts as a mentor to both Tristan and Ynaine teaching them many useful things while on board of his flying ship. He showed Tristan to fence and ynaine to waltz. The most important things he taught them were their love for each other. Some of the things that I took from the movie and captain Shakespeare was just being yourself, people will accept for you really are and most importantly was “Your true love, can be staring right in front of you.”

    Dostoyevsky’s Crime and Punishment explores the themes of guilt and the consequences of committing immoral actions. Of all the deep, thought-provoking concepts put forth in Crime and punishment, the idea that guilt can be an adequate punishment more valid than any punishment executed by society as a whole is the most far reaching and supported by the novel. Crime and Punishment follows Rodian Raskolnikov’s life from just a few days before he commits two brutal murders to when he confesses his crimes and is convicted and sentenced to several years in prison. Initially, Rodian had successfully gotten away with the murder of two people. Raskolnikov’s guilt-driven madness has given him an immunity and even investigators he confesses to think he couldn’t be guilty. As a result, his guilt continues to feed on his conscience to the point where he is constantly miserable. Raskolnikov’s true punishment is the futility of his attempt to escape the guilt of his actions without confessing and feeling adequately punished.

  • A Midsummer Night's Dream Character Analysis

    719 Words  | 2 Pages

    In A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Shakespeare decides to have a few of the characters act out the story of Pyramus and Thisbe for four other personages. What is curious is that, rather than simply having them quickly act out the short skit, Shakespeare has the characters from A Midsummer Night’s Dream who are watching comment on the playlet as it is being presented by Bottom and his friends, in turn affecting the way it is demonstrated by influencing the ‘characters’. Shakespeare has the audience (Theseus, Demetrius, Hippolyta, and Lysander) bring attention to and complement the moon, wall, and lion, despite the fact that Pyramus and Thisbe are supposed to be the main focus and play the most important roles. Additionally, he has both the comments and the acting de-romanticize Pyramus and Thisbe, who are known for their tragic yet romantic story of love and death. These elements make a mockery of the so-called ‘romantic’ tale of Pyramus and Thisbe, in a way de-romanticizing it by

  • Hamlet: The Bewildering Human Condition

    1242 Words  | 3 Pages

    Shakespeare’s play Hamlet is a complex and ambiguous public exploration of key human experiences surrounding the aspects of revenge, betrayal and corruption. The Elizabethan play is focused centrally on the ghost’s reoccurring appearance as a symbol of death and disruption to the chain of being in the state of Denmark. The imagery of death and uncertainty has a direct impact on Hamlet’s state of mind as he struggles to search for the truth on his quest for revenge as he switches between his two incompatible values of his Christian codes of honour and humanist beliefs which come into direct conflict. The deterioration of the diseased state is aligned with his detached relationship with all women as a result of Gertrude’s betrayal to King Hamlet which makes Hamlet question his very existence and the need to restore the natural order of kings. Hamlet has endured the test of time as it still identifies with a modern audience through the dramatized issues concerning every human’s critical self and is a representation of their own experience of the bewildering human condition, as Hamlet struggles to pursuit justice as a result of an unwise desire for revenge.

  • Critical Analysis of A Midsummer Night's Dream by William Shakespeare

    2944 Words  | 6 Pages

    William Shakespeare, born in 1594, is one of the greatest writers in literature. He dies in 1616 after completing many sonnets and plays. One of which is "A Midsummer Night’s Dream." They say that this play is the most purely romantic of Shakespeare’s comedies. The themes of the play are dreams and reality, love and magic. This extraordinary play is a play-with-in-a-play, which master writers only write successfully. Shakespeare proves here to be a master writer. Critics find it a task to explain the intricateness of the play, audiences find it very pleasing to read and watch. "A Midsummer Night’s Dream" is a comedy combining elements of love, fairies, magic, and dreams. This play is a comedy about five couples who suffer through love’s strange games and the evil behind the devious tricks. This play begins as Theseus, the Duke, is preparing to marry Hippolyta. He woos her with his sword. Hermia is in love with Lysander. Egeus, Hermia’s father, forbids the relationship with Lysander and orders her to marry Demetrius. Demetrius loves Hermia, but she does not love him. On the other hand, Helena is in love with Demetrius. To settle the confusion, Theseus decides that Hermia must marry Demetrius or become a nun. In retaliation to her father’s command, Hermia and Lysander run away together. Amidst all the problems in the human world, Titania and Oberon, the fairy queen and king, continually argue about their various relationships that they have taken part in. (Scott 336) Titania leaves Oberon as a result of the arguments. Oberon is hurt and wants revenge on Titania. So he tells Puck, Oberon’s servant, to put a magic flower juice on her eyelids while she is sleeping. This potion causes the victim to desperately in love with the first creature that they see. Oberon’s plan is carried out, but the potion is also placed on Lysander’s eyes. Lysander awakes to see Helena, who is aimlessly walking through the woods, and instantly falls in love with her. She thinks that he is making fun of her being in love with Demetrius, so she leaves and Lysander follows. This leaves Hermia to wake up alone. Puck now has journeyed to the area where several actors are rehearsing. He uses his magic to turn one of them into a donkey, in hopes that Titania will awake to see it.

  • Supernaturalism in Hamlet

    1128 Words  | 3 Pages

    The roots of superstitions or supernaturalism during the Renaissance era were based on religious beliefs and traditions. Many Elizabethan traditions were based on myths that could be lead back to the medieval period or even the Western Roman Empire. As for religious beliefs, in the Elizabethan era, the English country was dominated by Protestantism. Hence, beliefs in demons and angels were common and orthodox. This also meant that there were many theories as far as ghosts, the supernatural figures in both Thomas Kyd and Shakespeare’s play, are concerned. One related theme, and this is one other major theme in both plays, is revenge, which is confined by the appearance of one manifesting ghost. If this ghost appeared in the modern times, it would said to be a hallucination. Now, what is a ghost? Ghosts, in this text would refer to apparitions of the deceased, which have come back for revenge, these ghost...
