Although Conrad addresses the corruption of Africa and its people by European imperialism, he turns a blind-eye to the…

According to this message, given from the apparition, Macbeth cannot be murdered by anyone born of a woman. Now keep in mind, just because Macbeth cannot…

The tragedy of Shakespeare’s title character Macbeth leads us to believe that there is evil in all of us. Was Macbeth acting on his own free will or was he controlled by the evil witches that seemed to toy with the protagonist and relish in his demise? Are these Witches ultimately to blame or must Macbeth take full responsibility for all of his decisions? To answer these questions we have to look at how the witches spoke to Macbeth, their own evil intentions and the apparitions that he saw. One…

them happier than to see us succeed. While it is unlikely that my mother remembers whispering those words into my ear, they gave me the courage to learn how to take on the world without her by my side. When I was fifteen, I lost my parents to the resolute power of immigration laws. Soon, the tightly knit web they had created to catch me at my weakest points, dissolved like the morning dew of the…

In 2003, the New York Times wrote, “”Orwellian” itself, is the most widely used adjective derived from the name of a modern writer … It’s more common than ‘Kafkaesque,’ ‘Hemingwayesque’ and ‘Dickensian’ put together. It even noses out the rival political reproach ‘Machiavellian’, which had a 500-year head start.” We see and hear the term "Orwellian" used to describe ideas that George Orwell identified as being destructive to a free society. In much of his work, he emphasized control by…

It was almost certain that the Union Army was going to defeat the Confederates when Ulysses Grant was promoted to be the lieutenant general, which allowed him to be in charge of the entire army.

Brecht's The Good Person of Szechwan, initially performed in 1943 in Switzerland, spins around the character of Shen Teh/Shui Ta, playing on the possibility of goodness. Shen The is great, or possibly that is the thing that one should consider her to be, and Shui Ta is awful.

She did not do this seeking praise, though perhaps her efforts benefitted her personal atonement, “Meeting them in the street, she never raised her head to receive their greeting. If they were resolute to accost her, she laid her finger on the scarlet letter, and passed on” (146-147). It seems as if Hester gave up aspects of her previous life, passion and beauty, and replaced them with selfless compassion for others. The people began to see…
