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.
Macbeth did mur...

View From The Bridge Mac Beths

The whole of this play involves symbolism, on many
different levels. The end scene, in which Eddie
takes his own life with his own knife is symbolic
of the self-destructive nature that led to such an
ending. As Arthur Miller wished to write a modern
Greek tragedy it is likely that the symbolism of
the dagger is Eddies sexuality, which drove him to
his drastic actions and eventually death. During
the confrontation earlier in the play Marco raised
a chair like a weapon, symbolic of the fight yet
