While there is a clear divergence in the context of the two character’s former actions, the permanently surfacing remnants of their respective pasts ultimately results in their individual downfalls, thus successfully speaking to the validity of the claim that “the past is the present.” In each of the plays, the characters take measures in an attempt to…

I am blessed to know one of the wisest people I have in my life, who guides, who teaches, and who supports me as I grow older. When it comes to what is right and what is wrong, my father has the answer, and the advice I receive has formed me into the personality we see today.
