Another explanation is: “The Kennedy Curse is the result of destructive collision between the Kennedy’s fantasy omnipotence- their need to get away with things that others can not- and the cold, hard realities of life”; or; “Somebody in the [Kennedy] family did something to open the family to this negative energy, and that has been playing the Kennedy’s for decades”(The Kennedy Curse: Why Tragedy Has Haunted America’s First Family for 150 Years). Another “explanation” for it is Rabbi Jacobson put a curse on Joseph Kennedy, damning him and all of his male offsprings to tragic fates.

The word Hex is one that has permeated much of common literature and culture often being seen as a word that detonates an evil spell or some sort of curse upon the recipient.

However, after researching the word hex, I have found that a hex spell isn't necessarily a spell designed with evil intent. What a hex essentially is revolves around manipulation of somebody else's will. This…

In it, Hawthorne introduces the Pyncheons, a self-righteous, greedy, and slothful people whose destructive hereditary traits arouse the revenge of the humble Maules.

Prince Adam refused. “A rose? That's not even payment enough for sleeping in the shed,” he dismissed her harshly, “Now go,” he commanded. But the woman did not budge. Instead her face contorted in repulsiveness. “Your heart is unkind, unmoving, and unloving,” she said, her body starting to transform in a whirlwind…

The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao is the tragic story of the young Oscar de Leon. As the author Junot Diaz puts it, “Our hero was not one of those Dominican cats everybody’s always going on about---he wasn’t no home-run hitter or a fly bachatero, not a playboy with a million hots on his jock.”(Diaz 11).
