“Be not afraid of greatness. Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and others have greatness thrust upon them.” –William Shakespeare. William Shakespeare is known as an incredible writer and actor. However, over the past couple centuries, his authenticity is one that concerns a lot of scholars.

William Shakespeare William Shakespeare is one of the most influential figures in the English language and all forms of art. His craft can still be seen throughout all forms of television, movies, books, video games, and plays - of course. Shakespeare was able to almost handcraft an entire language and world through his plays. A very large percentage of our modern language derives from words and phrases that Shakespeare himself created. William Shakespeare was born in Stratford-upon-Avon,…

consciousness of man, John Muir states, “In every walk with nature, one receives far more than he seeks.” It’s interesting to notice that a simple walk can encourage a man to be inspired by the beauty that nature offers. From seeing nature through the point of an essay and seeing nature through the point of a poem, John Muir, and William Wordsworth created two different pieces that express their connection between man and nature. With the use of tone, imagery and diction, John Muir's essay,…

gender should be and how one should act in accordance with one’s gender. First, Butler’s use of David Reimer’s case, known as “the John/Joan case” ("Interview: John Colapinto”), “a boy who accidentally had his penis burned and subsequently amputated at the age of eight months” (740-741), is somewhat sufficient to prove a claim that most people would resist accepting. William and Colomb have expounded that, “The more readers resist a claim, the…

William McKinley was a successful president; he did great things up until his assassination. He was most known for leading the United States of America through the war with Spain even though it was so controversial. His foreign policies were difficult and I feel like most of his choices followed that manner. McKinley was open to question with most historians but, I believe he opened the mind of the public and forced them to think in a different way. William McKinley was born January 19, 1843 in…

how he was when he was originally created. Mary Shelley writes this novel and focuses on the creature in order to teach the reader that things are not always what they seem. The creature that Victor creates can be compared to two characters within John Milton’s epic poem, Paradise Lost. Milton’s Paradise Lost is about the Fall of Man, but specifically focuses on Satan as a fallen angel. Milton describes how Satan was created as a beautiful angel, perfect and stunning, but he was too proud.…

crimes, “The prosecution of women most often stemmed from sexual crimes, especially fornication” (Soderlund 4). In The Crucible, most of the story relies on the love triangle between John Proctor, Elizabeth Proctor, and Abigail Williams. When John essentially “turns down” Abigail, she uses her unwanted passion for John and turns it into manipulative power. This dominance was then used to shut down the rest of society and cause mass hysteria. It was through this, that the trouble of Salem began…
