This was an act of cultural genocide because children were punished for speaking their native language, consequently, it was gradually removed…

In many ways, Macbeth's ambitions to gain power and also to keep power tested him mentally and physically. One could buy into the notion that Macbeth failed most of the tests that he faced.

That shalt be king hereafter’ (p.36). The predictions from…

I believe Shakespeare may be relevant today, but hardly worth reading to some extent. Sure, we can relate to many of his characters, as they are the age of his audience for educational purposes.
