Senior officials of the Hezbollah party very rarely talk to the international press. Highly protected, always on their guard, the leaders of the "Party of God" are hard to contact-but at the same time Hezbollah is playing an increasingly important role not only in Lebanese politics, but also the economy & social aspects. This makes the interview by Christian Chesnot of Politique lnternationale with Mohammed Raad, head of Hezbollah's parliamentary bloc for eight years, all the more important. Hezbollah's credo is simple: it represents the sole "resistance" to Israel, with which it considers itself to be at permanent war. In his eyes, the members of the opposing "March 14th" anti-Syrian majority can only be considered "traitors" acting on behalf of Israel. When his Lebanese political opponents ask him to lay down his arms to facilitate the peace process, the response by this representative of Hezbollah is clear: his movement will do this with pleasure ... once Israel is destroyed.

Critical Stylistics is a new branch of linguistics that studies ideology in literary and political texts. It relies on criteria adopted from the stylistic analysis. Thus, this paper aims to apply Jeffries' (2009) critical stylistics model to soliloquies in Macbeth written by Shakespeare. This study also aims at analyzing two soliloquies given by the character of Macbeth using only three of the textual-conceptual functions of Jeffries' (2009) model. These functions are: Naming and Describing; Prioritizing; and Equating and Contrasting. These functions are adopted in this study because they reveal what the speaker is representing regarding his ideology. This study follows the qualitative and quantitative approaches of analysis; the qualitative analysis of the soliloquies is intended to show how the textual-conceptual functions are used, and the quantitative analysis shows the frequency of this use. This study concludes that Shakespearean soliloquies in Macbeth are loaded with ideology and this ideology is represented by the use of naming and describing words such as assassination, dagger, ambition to represent negative and dangerous ideology; furthermore, prioritizing some instances such as his murderer to contradict what is supposed to be the case.

Critical Stylistics is concerned with the study of ideology in literary and political texts. It draws on certain criteria from the stylistic analysis. Thus, this paper attempts to apply Jeffries' (2010) model of critical stylistics to soliloquies of Shakespearean Hamlet. It specifically aims at analyzing the two soliloquies made by the character Hamlet using only three textual-conceptual functions of the model: Representing Actions/ Events/ States; Exemplifying and Enumerating; and Hypothesizing. These functions are adopted here because they somehow represent what the character is saying loudly. The data is analyzed qualitatively to show how the tools are used and then quantitatively to show how many times these same tools are used. This paper concludes that Shakespeare's language is ideologically loaded and there are discrepancies in the frequency and function of these tools. Besides, the frequency of these tools proves how the ideology is enforced through the language of the text.
