Hello, I am King William. I also go by William the Conqueror. I was born circa 1028. My father was the Duke of Normandy, so I was born into a wealthy family. Despite my being in such a family, I was teased with such a bad nickname that it is not to be said on this paper. This is because I was not a legitimate son of the Duke.

The Empire also enforced dress codes of who could dress in Silk and what color they could wear. They did this to separate the classes from one another. Justinian’s may have been a conqueror and war hero, but his economic philosophy is questionable. His policies crippled families and led…

love is a strong force which connects people whether they are dead or alive. To Poe, Death has always been a form of salvation to humankind. An example of such beliefs is found in “The Conqueror Worm” where the Worm is used to symbolize Death. He says “the play is a tragedy, ‘Man/’And its hero, The Conqueror Worm,” (39-40).
