Fiend Like Queen Act 2 Scene 2
1,060 words
H 2 >"this dead butcher and his fiend-like queen."
Is this a fair comment on the characters of the
Macbeth's? Malcolm said this. There
is bias. Macbeth kills his father Duncan. Malcolm
should be king instead of Macbeth. Macbeth seizes
power by force. Also, Macbeth brings chaos and
destruction to Scotland (his homeland). Therefore,
Malcolm makes a subjective comment on the
Macbeth's that they are "butcher" and "fiend-like
queen." However, it contains some truth in it.

Explication of? Dulce et Decorum Est? In his poem
exhibiting the gruesome imagery of World War I, ?
Dulce et Decorum Est? , Wilfred Owen conveys his
strongly anti-war sentiments to the reader.
Through the irony found in the ending, horrific
imagery, and the feeling of surrealism woven into
the poem, Owen forces the reader to experience the

Whet Thy Almost Blunted Whet Thy Almost Blunted Purpose Hamlet

He was great man and prince, with great potential
and virtue. Another person whose virtue parallels
that of Hamlet was Laertes, the son one of the
Courtiers in Claudiouss court. Both of these men
also share the trait of impulsiveness, achieving
spontaneous reactions when angered. In Laertes
this revealed in his return to Ellisenore after
his fathers death. He returns with fire in his
veins and revenge seething from his breath ready
to kill the king. To Hell, Allegiance! Vows, to
blackest devil! ...

cowardly, and indecisive. But, that is far from
the truth. In fa...
