Toad Poem Unnatural
307 wordsThe structure of the poem adds much to the meaning Robert Wilbur was trying to convey. The theme of The Death of a Toad is the disruption of the natural cycle of life.

Also, there are only three stanzas, making the balance of the poem unnatural as well. The formation of the stanzas (with some lines indented,...

The intellectual ends of the journey, however, are far more beneficial to the human soul. Man must first understand the foundations of sin before he...

Play Was Written Act 1 Scene 5
1,463 wordsIn the play Macbeth, I think Shakespeare, the author, uses characters in the structure of the play to a large effect. In Act 1, I think Banquo was used by Shakespeare as a contrast to Macbeth; they are close friends, and have similar personalities, but when they are each prophesied great things by the witches, Banquo does not become as ambitious as Macbeth does. I think this shows that Lady Macbeth played a large part in influencing Macbeth to murder Duncan and attain what was prophesied for him...
