Murder King Duncan Lady Macbeth
403 words
In the play Macbeth written by William Shakespeare
I feel that Macbeth is responsible for the
killings. Even though Macbeth was persuaded by the
witches, Lady Macbeth, and his own desire to be
king he still ultimately responsible for the
actions he commit. We could easily allow ourselves
to say he has been convinced by the prophecy and
his wife's manipulation, but he is still in
command of whatever he chooses to do, and must try
to resist temptation. At the beginning of the play
Macbeth meets th...

Why Macbeth Is An Aristotelian Tragedy
1,174 words
Shakespeare's Macbeth is an exemplary form of
Aristotle's definition of tragedy. Macbeth, on par
with Oedipus and Medea, begins the play on a noble
pedestal, but, before the eyes of the viewers,
loses the battle with his destiny, and degrades
from a hero to a butcher by its denouement. This
is not all there is to Macbeth, however. Aristotle
took the concept of tragedy very seriously, and,
in order to be tragic by his standards, something
would have to fulfill numerous goals, stay within
certain ...

Act 3 Scene Act 1 Scene

With Hamlet being generally labeled as the best
tragic hero ever created, it is ironic that his
tragic flaw has never been as solidly confirmed as
those of most of his fellow protagonists. There is
Macbeth with his ambition, Oedipus with his pride,
Othello with his jealousy, and all the others with
their particular odd spots. Then there is Hamlet.
He has been accused of everything and of nothing,
and neither seems to stick. Flaws are carved out
of obscure conversations when he may or may not be

Civilization Human Nature Values That Society Defines Humans

history and experiences. When in our own lives we
are to find the basis of our human nature, we must
look to our early years, the formative years. Now
take for example if we placed a newborn in the
wild or in a high-class, well-mannered, wealthy
family. The human nature of the newborn in the
wild will be exactly that, wild and chaotic. While
on the other hand the newborn in the well-mannered
society will be well mannered and moralistic.

one man, and Macbeth fits this line perfectly.

James K Polk Manifest Destiny

The Mexican War On May 9, 1846, President James K.
Polk informed his cabinet that he intended to ask
Congress to declare war upon Mexico. Congress
agreed, and soon, the United States of America was
at war with its neighbor Mexico. These actions by
our country will forever remain as a blemish upon
her history. Clearly, this war was not
justifiable, both rather a conquest based upon
greed, anger, and the arrogance of men, such as
James K. Polk. Although unimpressive in figure,
Polk was extremely p...

and leave the imagination to rest. The comfort of
light is helpful for children who often conjure up
monsters that lurk under the bed and ominous
shadows from tree branches. Dark scenes are often
depicted as the foreboding unknown and things one
may not rather learn more about. However, when

Any great accomplishment Pride PRIDE Any great
accomplishment can make someone feel proud about
their work. It makes one feel good; it raises a
person s spirits. No question, pride has its good
points. (The Toronto Star, Nov 1999) Then again,
there are also the bad points of pride one must
consider, before being proud. Pride can deceive a
person into being ambitious, and make them strive
for something that is not rightfully theirs. Both
