The Honourable

Emotions are what drive us, for one cannot be persuaded without understanding emotions. Learning new words might help us when feeling emotions because we can identify them. Words are the most powerful force available to humanity because we can choose what words to say depending on the situation. Antony’s speech at Caesar’s funeral was more effective than Brutus’ because Antony used genuine emotion to sway the crowd. Brutus’ speech rationalized Caesar’s murder by using logic and reasoning…

present a dramatic, visual performance, but also to demonstrate his shared perspective of Shakespeare’s political views. The characterisation of Falstaff as a static character is a foil to King Henry, where the juxtaposition is apparent between the honourable and utilitarian yet politically ambiguous figures, versus the vulgar yet honest ‘human’. Moreover, Falstaff satirises King Henry IV’s legitimacy and how he presents himself, as he says, “Give me a cup of sack to make my eyes look red, that…

Owen uses irony in the title of his poem 'Dulce et Decorum Est' meaning 'it is sweet and honourable', as he then spends the entirety of his poem convincing the reader that war is neither sweet nor honourable.

Karl Marx believed that in time a communist society was possible and that the proletariat could overthrow the bourgeoisie. In the bourgeois society each person is confined to a productive roll but in a communist society the general production is regulated thus meaning people would no longer be confined to just one productive roll they would have options. Marx believed that if proletariat achieved political power and put an end to the bourgeois modes of production that this would weaken class…

ergy mystery about is. Firstly, the play starts out with the three witches in rain and lightning, hence already setting the reader up for the mood of the play: fear and anticipation. Macbeth was very highly liked and considered a noble subject, honourable soldier, and loving husband, as he was greeted by the king, partaked in killing Macdonwald, and had everyone wrapped around his finger. Macbeth would often show his appreciation for Lady Macbeth by writing her letters, yet in these letters we…
