Some believed that Macbeth was a grandson to King Malcolm II, making him a cousin to King Duncan (which he would later succeed.) His…

shows a couple and their ambition for Macbeth to become King of Scotland. This play implies that ambition can cause people to commit treason or even murder in order to achieve power. This has been shown in other places of literature, such as Lord or the Flies, and in real life as well. Ambition can make people do things that they would never do in order to get power or wealth. Macbeth soon shows his ambition to become the king of Scotland shortly after meeting with the witches. “All hail,…

In Shakespeare's novel Macbeth, Shakespeare tells about a story of a man who was once a noble, worthy warrior then eventually turns into a tyrannical leader once he becomes Thane of Cawdor. Macbeth is a prime example of a dynamic character. He starts out as a loyal general to Lord Duncan. Towards the end of the play Macbeth becomes a cold hearted ruler with little emotion towards anything, even when his wife died from suicide. In the beginning of the play, Macbeth is a loyal man and well…

gives him the punishment he deserves. Even though Balyn is apart of the King’s most trusted knights, Arthur knows he has to do what was right and punish Balyn. Next, King Arthur is a great leader because he is a fearless leader. “‘Then if I am indeed King,.....I hereby pledge myself to the service of God and of my people, to the righting of wrongs, to the driving-out of evil, to the bringing of peace and plenty to my land.” (p.9) As a young child, Arthur is a natural born leader.

Various actions I performed throughout my life were for the sole purpose of receiving what I want without outwardly asking for it. For the past few years, around the same time of the year, for example, I behave exceptionally well. Specifically around the holidays, when there is something that I really want my parents to get me, a series of events always transpire. First, I begin to do my chores when I am told, following with doing even more chores, ultimately to impress my parents. Then,…

theme, and transformations of characters. In Scene I, Shakespeare introduces two new minor character roles, the murders. Macbeth seems to hold himself to a higher standard than these men, and uses this in an attempt to persuade them to murder Banquo. Macbeth states: “Ay, in the catalogue you go for men, As hounds and greyhounds, mongrels, spaniels, curs, Shoughs, water-rugs, and demi-wolves are clept All by the name of dogs.” -(Act III, Scene I) Here, he is appealing pathologically to the…

I think the statement refers Erik as the poison. It’d make sense to refer Erik as the poison since he has been making fun of Joey and his brother, which really increased Paul’s hate for him. This quote also fits in with the recent problem about the termite infested houses, and putting poison in them to get rid of them.

distinguish between reality and fantasy and realise who she is. She believes she has seen a ghost in the mirror which in reality was herself. The statement Antoinette makes while looking in the mirror: “I saw her – the ghost. The woman with streaming hair. She was surrounded by a gilt frame but I knew her”, suggests Antoinette inability to realise that what she sees is herself.
