man? Should the state have power over its subjects
or the subjects over the state? Soon after the
theory of sovereignty and the theory of social
contract were developed, but even these still drew
debate. Thomas Hobbes and John Locke's political
theories have been influential ever since they
were first develo...

Strongly Anti Boer Boers Treated British

There were significant political conflicts between
the two sides. The Boers treated all blacks very
badly and did not give basic human rights even to
the blacks working for them. They made them pay
taxes but could not vote. It was said to be
through religious reasons that the Boers treated
blacks so badly. This awful treatment infuriated
the British, who had abolished slavery in all its
colonies as well as at home in 1834. The Dutch
wanted to keep its slaves. Europeans working in

the main character in William Shakespeare's play

an active one, fighting against the rebel hordes
and Norwegians in defense of his king, no doubt
for the purpose of gaining authority and other
rewards. This is further illustrated by his
gracious acceptance of credit for his deeds. He is

Makes Him Feel Lady Macbeth

What does a person must do to be considered a man?

Macbeth In this play Macbeth portrays a man in
position doing the usual, searching for more
power. Macbeth is a young prosperous, ambitious
man that is out to fulfill a prophecy. Maybe he is
a little too ambitious. At first he wasnt the
murderous type. His wife Lady Macbeth was pretty
much behind the whole thing. She convinced him
that he should kill King Duncan so he could claim
the throne. It might be his character but it
doesnt truly come out till he has Banquo killed.

whatever it touches. ? In other words, many
characters in literature become corrupted because

touches? because having too much power
concentrated in the hands of one person leads to
dictatorship and its bad consequences. ? Power is

Kill King Duncan Kill The King

How exactly does Macbeth arrive at the decision to
murder King Duncan? In Shakespeare's time
witchcraft was punished by death. The King at the
time when the play was written James I was
interested in witchcraft and he wrote a book about
it called Demonology. Shakespeare probably wrote
the witches into the play because of the Kings
interest. If someone was accused of being a witch
then they were thrown into a lake with weights
attached and if they floated they were a witch and
would be killed, if...
