Symbol Of Blood Lady Macbeth
962 wordsIn Shakespeare's Macbeth the symbol of blood is used to represent honor, bravery, treason, murder and guilt! The symbol of blood is continuously developed until it becomes the dominating theme of the play. The word "blood, " or different forms of it appear forty-two times, throughout the play. Perhaps the best way to show how the symbol of blood changes during the development of the play, is to follow the character changes in Macbeth. At first Macbeth is heralded as brave and honorable, but as t...

Cyber Communism The New Threat In Millennium
1,106 wordsMy expedition into cyber-communism began when I read Brock Meeks' "Hackers Stumble Toward Legitimacy"[ 1 ]. The article addressed a recent hackers' convention. Interestingly, the keynote speaker was Eric Boucher[ 2 ] (alias Jello Biafra[ 3 ]), a rock star with no technical background. Numerous questions ensue. Who is Eric Boucher (alias Jello Biafra)? What does he believe? More importantly, why schedule someone with no technical background to speak at a hackers' convention? Addressing his belief...

The citizens of Rome...

Making The Death Penalty A More Effective Crime
963 wordsOver the past many years, people have argued over the effectiveness of the death penalty. The majority of executions have come from convictions of homicides (murder), though execution has been a choice in punishment for rape, treason, kidnapping, and armed robbery. Many people consider the death penalty as immoral and ineffective to deter crime. These people are half right; it is an ineffective means to deter crime. With this understood, it is time that we need to make a reform in the death pena...

Haven Yale University York Vintage Books
1,761 words... russia lost to Germany, losing Poland and other lands. Russians could not believe that they lost and so blamed the loss on treason. The wife of the Tsar, a German, though fully devoted to Russia, took the blame. There were more suspicions of "treason in high places" (24) when a Russian with a German name was appointed Prime Minister in 1916: Boris Strmer. (25) While none of the beliefs of treason were true, they created much "animosity toward the Crown" (26), eventually leaving it "friendles...

English Civil Part 2
1,690 words... that one was in the offing accounts for much of the belief that November 1640 was the beginning of a 'golden age'. It was notoriously difficult to make such settlements stick, as the cases of 1216, 1261, and 1397 showed very clearly, but the failure in 1641 to conclude one at all was highly unusual, and cries out for explanation. It is a failure which underlines the fact that the English Civil War was not the result of an outburst of anger in the localities, but of a failure of the political...

Punishable By Death Age Of 18
2,379 wordsMany people support the death penalty, and a lot of them use the defense that comes from the Bible: an eye for eye, and a limb for a limb. I on the other hand believe otherwise. Punishment by death, in my opinion, is a very barbaric way of penalization. In the world, it is known that at least 2500 prisoners are executed in at least 37 different countries, on an annual basis. There will be various statistics, opinions, history, and background information discussed through out the residuum of this...
