The seventeenth century in which Shakespeare wrote Macbeth has one very important societal factor which has heavy influence in his tragedy. The idea of “manhood” in a patriarchal society and what it means to be a man is one of the contributing factors to Macbeth's eventual murder of his King. For Macbeth’s wife to manipulate him would be unheard of in this sort of society. Yet when trying to uncover who is truly at fault for Duncan’s death it becomes evident that it is in fact a woman, Lady Macbeth

“There can be no tyrants where there are no slaves.”-Jose Rizal. “Animal Farm,” written by George Orwell depicts a world of talking animals and vicious dictators, but looking further into the meaning of the book you can see that Orwell’s observation and opinion that revolutions often fail in that they end up only in a change of tyrants is very true. Usually people who lead rebellions or people who are at least a part of them are in it for themselves. They do not see it for the good of the common

My sophomore year of indoor track was one to remember. I was on a team with three sisters; Kaitlyn, Lindsey, and Lauren. We trained from the beginning of cross country season in the fall, all the way through to indoor track in the winter. We worked every day after school. Usually, in order to advance to regions, one must compete in the conference
A fresh breeze blew over a natural park in Mahomet, Illinois and ruffled the grass as I haul the unopened tent towards my destination. There was a lot of chatter, and even more excitement, but no one spoke of the odds of success in the great task ahead. We set up the tent and wait. We were waiting for the moment that we would be called, the moment where we would be asked to attempt the task we have been striving forward to achieve for the last few months. Except for me. I will have to be in just
Sin, Sinner, Crimes, and Lady Macbeth It is believed that a sin is a sin no matter under what circumstances it was committed. But is it right to believe this? A person who commits a sin is labeled for life as a sinner or criminal, but sometimes, it happens, that there are times when people do commit such mistakes for which they heavily repent. However, what right do common humans have to make a judgment about anyone other than themselves? What may appear to be true may not be the reality at all.
Government organizations often use symbols to portray their power or military strength. Writers also use symbols to convey a message to the reader. In his novel Lord of the Flies, William Golding uses symbols to help readers track the loss of civility of the boys. The fire is both a symbol of hope and the reckless behavior of the boys. The first fire is built to signal ships for their rescue; it symbolizes hope here. Once the fire is burning brightly, the boys “paused to enjoy the freshness of [the
William Golding’s novel, Lord of the Flies, is about a group of boys who struggle in maintaining a signal fire while stranded on an island. Often, people believe that the fire does not play an important role in the novel, however, the fire is actually much more sophisticated and is able to represent how their connection to society keeps the boys alive. By continuing to believe that the fire represents the boys’ rejection of society, readers will misunderstand Golding’s emphasis on having faith and

Having an abundance of aspirations can have both successful and faulty outcomes depending on the situation and how individuals respond to the circumstance. For example, in the play **Macbeth written by Shakespeare, a prime example of an excessive amount of ambition is displayed through both Macbeth and Lady Macbeth’s actions. Essentially, Macbeth becomes
As odd as it may sound to have a favorite day that isn’t either Saturday or Sunday, it turns out mine has always been Wednesday. I love the way it’s spelled, and it’s just so fun to pronounce it phonetically: “Wed-nes-day.” I find it interesting how it’s derived from the Old English word, “day of Woden,” Woden actually being the Norse god, Odin, being often seen in various Marvel comics and movies. I’ve always loved Wednesday in regards to it’s placement in relation to the school week. Mondays are

Aech helps Wade (Parzival) find the Jade Key by telling him where it’s at. Towards the end of chapter 27, Wade goes through the Second Gate and is trying to beat the sixers to the Third Gate.

The great philosopher Plato once said , “Any city, however small, is in fact divided into two, one the city of the poor, and the other of the rich; these are at the war with one another.” This quote perfectly summarizes the theme of S.E Hinton's novel, The Outsiders. The novel is about two gangs/groups that live in Rural, Oklahoma, the Greasers and the Socials. The Socs are the more affluent and often times referred to as the ‘West-side rich kids’, and the Greasers, are the less fortunate gang.
