In Ian Kershaw’s The ‘Hitler Myth’ Kershaw goes to argue the facts behind the myths about Adolf Hitler and his position in Nazi Germany. Kershaw does not try to focus on the man himself but more along the lines of “It is not, in fact, primarily concerned with Hitler himself, but with the propaganda image-building process, and above all with the reception of this image by the German people-how they viewed Hitler before and during theThird Reich;…” The book itself is split into three parts. The…

The fracturing of the kingdom into three and it’s poor state help Goneril and Regan to further paint a façade that Lear is easily misled by. Therefore, the craftiness and desire for power from both Goneril and Regan are clearly shown when they both shower King Lear with praises. Goneril goes first and says, “Sir, I love you more than word can wield the matter” (1.1.55). It is interesting when Goneril addresses her father as sir, as it shows a divide between Lear and his daughters; similarly,…

Those who are interested in history, and especially those who study it closely, find themselves familiar with a number of historical “villains”; these villains have left their mark on the world and ruefully earned a place in history as such.

I would argue that perhaps only one figure holds the title of being the…

“Some people will only ‘love you’ as long as they can use you. Their ‘loyalty’ ends where the benefits stop.” Written between the years 1604 and 1606, Shakespeare’s tragedy, King Lear, centers on an aging king who decides to divvy up his kingdom between his three daughters (Gonerill, Regan, and Cordelia) in order to avoid any conflict after his death. This tragedy provides no cushions of happiness for the viewer, and the society is ultimately responsible for the course of this play. King Lear…
