While reviewing Verma’s Macbeth in an online blog, Farrah Chaudhry, the 1623 Associate artist, feels ‘guilty’ of creating British South Asian pigeonhole characters on the stage (Chaudhry, 2015). Surpassing Chaudhry’s list of stereotypes, Verma engages the…

The poem’s title insinuates that Prufrock is addressing someone he admires, or loves,…

the throne. This is where his wife, Lady Macbeth, comes in - she tempts and bullies Macbeth into killing King Duncan.

The article “Stalin’s Great Purge: Over A Million Detained, More Than Half A Million Killed” indicates Joseph Stalin's inner evil by organizing The Great Purge to…

However, that is not the point of this, it is to break down and decipher what is really meant in the Witches chant in act 4 scene 1. “Double, double, toil and trouble; fire burn, and cauldron bubble (act 4 scene 1 lines 10-11; 20-21; 35-36).” These two lines appear twice throughout the chant, and are recognized…
