When King Duncan entered his quarters at Inverness for a routine night of sleep, little did he know that a few hours later, his life would come to an end. The murder of a king is considered one of the greatest atrocities in any country, and it has been stated by Macbeth, the new king, that whoever committed this crime will have severe, deathly consequences. However, this is rather ironic for “King” Macbeth to say, since according to recent facts, the prime suspect is none other than his own wife…

In this essay I will be discussing the very important Robert I of Scotland. I will also discuss these very crucial questions. In what ways did Robert Bruce both reflect and influence his time? Also, how does the life and work of Robert Bruce inform our understanding of national identity in the British Isles during this period? Robert I of Scotland was born July 11, 1274 in Turnberry Castle. He was born into an aristocratic Scottish family. His family was from Scots, Gaelic, and…

Macbeth Rough William Shakespeare’s play Macbeth is a tragedy that explores the nature of evil and its characters’ interaction with it. Although this piece was written in 1605, the story takes place in medieval times in 1045. In the 17th century, people were greatly influenced by the supernatural and lived in fear of eternal damnation and the corruption of their souls. Accordingly, these themes are apparent throughout the drama. For instance, the human conscience will rectify the perversion of…

With great hesitation, I accepted my second co-op work term in Inverness NS (17 hours away from home), to work at Cabot Links. What is Cabot Links you may ask? Had you of asked me back in February, I would have replied with “It’s a golf course.” Now if you were to ask me what Cabot Links is, I would reply with “Much more than just a golf course.” Cabot is a something special. From the true links golf, elegant chalets, maritime inspired food, and truly authentic east coast experience. Cabot is…

By saying that the Castle of Inverness “hath a pleasant seat”, Duncan presents radical dramatic irony, as Macbeth and his wife are plotting to kill him during his stay. The word ‘seat’ refers to the setting of the castle, which paints an image of elegance and beauty, entrancing Duncan…

It was a night filled with worry and stress. What kept us up is an intoxicated friend, study guide filled with logarithms, trigonometry, and limits, and a side of procrastination. It started out on a Friday night, I have a math final the next morning at 11:30am and did not study for it. I was in no pressure and thought it would not take long to study, since I only needed to work on the study guide that my professor created for us and assumed it would be like the final. I began to work on the…

In June of 1937, Child and Thorneycoft made another attempt at vitrification at Rahoy, the site of a Dun at the entrance of Loch Teacuis in Scotland. This time, they used the actual materials used in construction at the Dun, which had contained signs of ancient vitrification. The wall was built, facing west, across a trench which had been dug into the vitrified rampart during earlier excavations. The construction of the Rahoy wall was hampered by a lack of suitable timber and was considerably…

6 Degrees of Separation: Jack Cole & Casey Nicholaw Six degrees of separation is a theory based on the idea that all people or things in this world can be “connected” through six steps or less. While it may be broad, and not always clear connections, it is very possible to connect any two people in less than six degrees. For this assignment, I will be connecting two famous dance choreographers: Jack Cole, and Casey Nicholaw. Though the two don’t seem to have much in common other than their…

In Macbeth we see the transformation the characters experience and how the mind is more vulnerable than the body in Shakespeare’s theory of man’s psychological nature. Macbeth’s character changes dramatically and his personality shows many signs of a serial killer and psychopath. At the beginning of the play, Macbeth is a perfect thane, strong and willing to suffer physically, to the death, for his King. After the first battle in Act I, Macbeth suffers a psychological when the witches, present…
