1,099 words

story about revealing true evil and the loss of
one man's faith. Nathaniel Hawthorne left "Young
Goodman Brown" up for many interpretations. After

story was that evil exists in everyone, does not
matter how good we may think we are. Things aren't
always what they seem. I say this because the
people who attended the devil's meetings, were the
ones who atte...

Shakespeare the Chauvinist? Was Shakespeare a

Throughout the years, this question has been
discussed many times by many different scholars,
and varying conclusions have been reached. In my

Shakespeare, (or for those who would argue that
Shakespeare was not the actual author, we will say
the man who wrote the plays) had an attitude about
