Though fate guides Macbeth's thinking, he freely chose to commit the murder that he did. His reliance and trust in fate made him overly confident. Macbeth does everything out of his own will, and mindset. He is responsible for every action he makes. I believe that fate lays out a path like a template and we as individuals make choices to bend the path to the left or right in order to map our…

Shakespeare’s work is the most recited piece of literature other than the bible. He introduced many of the common words we use today. The play, Romeo and Juliet, written by William Shakespeare, was a tragic love story. Taking place in Verona, Italy during the 1500’s, two people from families who were great enemies, quickly fall in love. Romeo and Juliet, the two people, face many obstacles that break their secret relationship and lead them to kill themselves. Fate is when something you cannot…

This line refers to how Duncan’s body (his skin) is covered with his blood, the evident sign of the end of his life. Blood is also used in the familial connection sense when Donalbain and Malcolm discuss their plans of running away to Ireland and England to escape any attempts on their life. Donalbain acknowledges that “the near in blood, The nearer bloody” (2.3.140-141) meaning that the closer relation they have with Duncan the more likely that they will suffer his fate. In the scenes following…

there, he forces this new type of government structure on Caliban becoming King of the Island. I believe this is a metaphor for the use of European government as a weapon, hurting people, overturning their original government. Making Caliban into a slave, subject to his king's wishes. Subsequently, at the end of the play, it does not say what happens to Caliban, only that Prospero plans to go back home. I think Shakespeare is trying to shine a bad light on it here making it look unappealing,…

France in the mid 17th century was quite hectic. At the time, King Louis XIII was in power and basically running the country into the ground. To start, he was ruling with the help of his closest advisors and Cardinal Richelieu which, in effect, gave some of his power away. Along with that, Louis XIII was in continuous violent religious discords with the Huguenots (Biography.com Editors. "Louis XIII Biography"). When his son Louis XIV was finally born, the boy was not given much of a government…

to the lack of knowledge (Hosea 4:6, King James Version). Although, I too agree with Leming and Dickerson (2011) that grievers need support and assistance during their bereavement process, sometimes I find it difficult to do so because of not knowing how or what support to offer. Because of that, I will refrain from giving any support for the fear of inflicting more pain on the victim. To help me overcome the hindrance, I would like Leming and Dickerson to provide further information on is…

able to get along by vaguely disguising himself but not really putting in enough effort so that it was almost certain that he wouldn’t get captured. His capture put England in a perilous situation concerning money, because of the ransom needed for his release. The amount was so high that it had taken 6 months for the people of England to raise enough money for him to be released. The tactics used to get the money were quite a few taxes on income and movables, on the…
