The Duke is showing the emissary the painting of his last Duchess and telling him of her flaws and how she made him unhappy. The Duke has met with the emissary to discuss his next marriage.

Julius Caesar lived long ago but was able to make his mark in history because of the writings of Plutarch and Shakespeare. Plutarch wrote about Caesar using knowledge passed down from past generations, strictly stating what he knew to be the facts. He did not write it as a story to entertain people, rather to inform them on the great Julius Caesar. Shakespeare, on the other hand, wrote his plays to entertain people. Shakespeare based his play off of Plutarch writing while adding his own touch to…

POP! Scrooge stoke his thumb across the cork of the wine bottle, and the cylinder-shaped piece of bark tissue flew across the generously-furnished room. “Happy New Year, my dear nephew!” Mr. Scrooge yelled jubilantly through the room, his voice mixing in with the joyous laughs and murmurs of the crowd. “Happy New Year, everyone!” Ebenezer Scrooge was celebrating the new year at his home, giving away money to everyone there, not minding if they never pay him back. However, Ebenezer failed to…

Isolation; the process or fact of isolating or being isolated. Being no stranger to this, Poe uses not only mood, but imagery and diction to illustrate isolation in his work. Imbedded in each piece of writing by Poe,…

the instrumentalist theory seems to be the most comprehensive in attempting to explain the politicization and ethnic identity of the Tutsis. The Tutsis have a similar culture to other groups in the region of East Africa, including the Hutus and the Twa. Each ethnicity speaks the same language, which is a Central Bantu language. There…

The institution of slavery promoted uprisings as natives sought to defend their homes from continued foreign influence. Unfortunately, not all attempts against colonizers were fruitful and some societies were held captive in their own lands. In the United States, African Americans were ferried from their ancestral homes in large homes and taken to different states where they worked mainly on plantations. The experiences shaped the lives of those held captive as they were forced to adapt to…

Have you ever wondered how people are able to communicate to others from across the world? Satellites are also the reason we are able to watch tv and find out what road to go on when your husband doesn't ask for directions. Most people use GPS in their everyday life, but do they know how it works? A satellite is an object that moves around a bigger object. The earth and the moon are satellites because the earth moves around the sun, and because the moon also moves around the earth. Many…

Here is the proof in brief. An oracle Once came to Laius (I will not say 'Twas from the Delphic god himself, but from his ministers) declaring he was doomed to perish by the hand of his own son, a child that should be born to him by me.” (780-787) The purpose of this quotation is to show how important the role of fate has on…

scenario, Othello needed to specifically know if an adulterous act did happen between Cassio and Desdemona. Othello, in his last moments, desired satisfaction by fulfilling his vengeance: he murdered his wife: “She’s like a liar gone to burning hell! ‘Twas I [Othello] who killed her.” In addition, hedonism is abundant not only in the life of Othello but also with Iago. According to Paul Cefalu, “The source of Iagos discontentment is the motive for his evil. Just what is the source? Much of…
