The Renown Adarlan's Assassin

Improved Essays
Celaena Sardothien, the renown Adarlan’s Assassin, also known as Aelin Ashryver Galathynius, the lost queen of Terrasen. She not only became the King’s Champion, but also survived laboring in the death camp, Endovier. Sardothien’s character is independent, sharp, strong, and completely fictional, of course. However, in my mind, her fantastical story of hardship and conquer roge on. Which is why, on a Saturday at 5 p.m just a week before my junior year in high school started, I begged my parents to take me to the book signing of Sarah J. Maas, the creator of Celaena, at a Barnes & Noble not too far from my home. After a lot of persistent begging, they finally gave in, started the car and drove me all the way to the mall.
When we got there, I

His ambition to be a noble king transcends into hatred and greed for power. Alternatively, Hamlet’s indecisive character leads him to his tragic end. And Benedick’s changeable character ultimately changes him from a scornful prince to a hero.…

    Any reader can conclude that Rebecca is indeed a main character of the story despite her absence. A deeper evaluation reveals that the opinions or rather the technique used by the author were molded by the perceptions of the society at the time when the book was written. It is essential to note that most female gothic literature exposes the predicaments that women face in their day to day lives. This story sheds some light on how the perceptions of evil people can slow down the progress and growth of an individual and especially those who are perceived to be weak in the societal order, like the…

    Although she might seem like a one-sided and uninfluential character in the relatively short portion of Macbeth that she appears in, Lady Macbeth is one of the most captivating and influential characters within the play. Macbeth, written by William Shakespeare in the early 17th Century, mainly consists of the plot by Macbeth and Lady Macbeth to murder the King of Scotland in order to take power for themselves. Lady Macbeth plays a key role as the instigator of this plot and intervenes in key events several times in order to maintain the plot’s success.

    The Assassins

    • 509 Words

    Assassins (from Arabic: أساسيون‎ Asasiyun) is the name used to refer to the medieval Nizari Ismailis. Often characterized as a secret order led by a mysterious "Old Man of the Mountain", the Nizari Ismailis were an Islamic sect that formed in the late 11th century from a split within Ismailism, itself a branch of Shia Islam. In time, the Nizaris began to pose a military threat to Sunni Seljuq authority within their territories by capturing and inhabiting many unconnected mountain fortresses throughout Persia (and later also Syria) under the leadership of Hassan-i Sabbah (who is typically regarded as the founder of the Assassins), therefore founding the so-called Nizari Ismaili state. While "Assassins" typically refers to the entire medieval Nizari sect, in fact only a class of acolytes known as the fida'i actually engaged in assassination work. Lacking their own army, the Nizari relied on these trained warriors to carry out espionage and assassinations of key enemy figures, and over the course of 300 years successfully killed two caliphs, and many viziers, sultans and Crusader leaders.[1] Under leadership of Imam Rukn-ud-Din Khurshah, the Nizari state declined internally, and was eventually destroyed as the Imam surrendered the castles to the invading Mongols.…
