Hamlet- (Line 22)
"O god what a beast , that wants discourse of reason, Would have mourn'd longer --married with my uncle, My father's brother, but no more like my father Than I to Hercules."

One of the first soliloquies for Hamlet show how devastated he is when he learns his father recently died and his mother got married to his uncle. It is important because Hamlet was so against the idea of his uncle being the new king that he calls his mom a beast. Also, he produces an allusion by referring to a Roman god of Hercules, stating that he is not Hercules as much as his uncle could not be his father.

Macbeth- (Line 19)
"Will plead like Angels Trumpet tongued against the Deep damnation of his taking off."

In this soliloquy Macbeth is talking about the effects of murdering a king. Shakespeare states that the angels will cry for his death, the repercussions of a king's death is very extreme. It shows importance because Macbeth debates with himself on whether or not he should kill the king. Both choices are drastically different and provide very different outcomes, each with their own advantages and disadvantages.

This photo shows Macbeth killing King Duncan with the dagger. The theme of this is sacrifice because Macbeth killed King Duncan because Lady Macbeth told him so. The imagery shows Macbeth doing what he never though he would do and that's take a life. A quote: "I go, and it is done; the bell invites me. Hear it not, Duncan; for it is a knell That summons thee to heaven or to hell".

In the extremely popular movie, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, there is a scene where Ferris lets the shady valet drivers have his best friend's dad's Ferrari.

It mimics the scene of the Millennium Falcon taking off by using the Ferrari instead of the spaceship, and putting the Star Wars theme song over the scene. This scene is important because it shows how incredibly fast the valet drivers were going but also provides humor and a reference to another very popular movie.
