Historical Trials in Richard II William Shakespeare's Richard II acts as an amalgamation of three forms of trial: trial by ordeal, trial by combat, and trial by jury. Presenting the trial by ordeal in the spirit of its original Latin iudicium Dei, meaning "the truth of God", King Richard II offers himself an extension of God-ruling through divine right-therefore, creating a variant of an ordeal in his banishment of Henry Bolingbroke (Bartlett 5).

In scene ii of Oedipus Rex, Sophocles uses the literary device of irony to develop the central idea of ignorance, and how it can affect one’s actions and future. Ignorance can plague a man’s mind and affects his whole life and his actions. Oedipus was from another land originally, and when he heard of his fate he “ran away…

One improvement Blizzard did was the dynamics of the relationship of Jim Raynor and Sarah Kerrigan. In the old Starcraft, the dynamics were just not there until Chris Metzen changed their stories to help the game and later the series (polygon II).

399-401). Though Shakespeare could not have thought about, we can find a surprising link with Jeff Vandermeer’s Annihilation and Timothy Morton’s Hyperobject.
