Fool

Shakespeare's works, there is a reoccurring character that identifies as 'the fool'. The fool is a trademark, and has made an appearance in The Templet, Hamlet, Macbeth, A Midsummer's Night Dream, and countless others. In my personal opinion, I feel that the fool is present in his plays to represent that people who can be condescending, rude, and ignorant aren't as amazing as they see themselves, or as they tell others. The fool is always of a lower social class, yet always outsmarts the rich,…

However, nothing appeared in the news for very long. Perhaps, Andre Poisson was too embarrassed to report Lustig, only making a fool out of himself for falling in such a ditch. However, this tempted Lustig to return to Paris after a few years and sell the Eiffel Tower once more, which shows that Lustig was doing all of this to be recognized and gain fame. This time he was forced…

Dancing Fool in School In the past I was an extremely bizarre schoolboy and performed abnormal actions to acquire interest from others at my elementary school like sporting a reddish helmet. Occasionally my muscle twitches caught the awareness of others. Young’uns approached me and questioned, “Why do you jerk your arms and feet like that?” I couldn’t expound it to them because I didn’t fucking comprehend it myself. Therapist Dan: “Do you recall the name of your medication by chance?” Me: “No,…

Esmerelda is a gypsy who makes a living by dancing in the streets whom poses not only beauty but wit and smarts and her passion for fighting for justice. After seeing Quasimodo being wronged after being named the King of Fools, Esmerelda fearlessly stood up for him against an entire crowd as well as Lord Frollo and denied to step down, showing courage and bravery which were not the attributes of the common fairy tale heroines/characters. Esmerelda, as a character, displays…

The Power Hungry Fool In the play Macbeth by William Shakespeare, we are introduced to a highly rewarded, noble born, young and heroic character by the name of Macbeth. He was one of the soldiers fighting for King Duncan in a battle that was taking place in Scotland, and he was named a hero for winning it. As a reward, King Duncan named Macbeth Thane of Cawdor. Since Macdonwald, former Thane of Cawdor, was executed for he betrayed the King, Macbeth was now known throughout all of Scotland as…

good material in writing, for me at the very least, and I find it fun to read. In this poem Sidney is trying very hard to write and just can’t find the words and at the end of his struggle the woman he is trying to write about gives him the answer. “Fool,’ my Muse said to me, “’Look in thy heart and write.’” This not only a powerful ending line but also comical in a way, because it asks the write to stop thinking and start versing. I think this could also be helpful as an example of both the…

Whenever a man falls in love with a woman, he would do anything for her. Love sick fools would sacrifice everything to have what they want. Lord Huron is an example of one of these lovesick fools. He proves that through his song. “Fool For Love.” By showing his affection for the woman he loves, it is easy to see how much love he has for her. In the song, he tells about how he’s hopelessly in love with her, and how nobody can come between them. Throughout the song, the man can easily be…

A BADGE OF HONOR? “Our society seems to place a moral value on sleeping as little as possible… . Saying ‘I’m tired and I’m going to sleep’ is viewed as being lazy.” Sleep research Dr. Eve Van Cauter (Brody) provided this adequate description of how our high demand, 24 hours a day, seven days a week world, is robbing substantial numbers of people of sleep. For many Americans “inadequate sleep is a workaholic’s badge of honor” (Brink). We proudly pin on our badge of sleep deprivation and polish…

Corrida de Tontos “Running of the Fools” The hair on his arms stood on end. A shiver sped down his spine. His stomach leapt into his mouth. “Por favor proteja a mi hijo,” whispered Señor Valdez under his breath as he entered the strange city with his only son. The father always prayed in his native Spanish tongue when he needed the fortitude of his forefathers. Mateo, his cocky son, laughed and said, “Have faith in me, Papa.’ As the July sun rose higher, humidity bathed the men in sweat.…

In, What’s My Name Fool, by David Zirin he states that Ali was “the catalyst that forced professional sports- and the country as a whole- to examine the issues of racism and war, no longer exists.” (53) The transition of Ali being a controversial cultural and political icon…
