Lost A Part Ahab Insanity Control
920 wordsThe first few times that Ahab is introduced to the reader and to his crew, he appears to be inhuman. Even his description when he first appears on deck states that he "seemed made of solid bronze" (Melville 117). To compare him to a statue is to distance him from humanity - he is not a breathing, emotional being. However, as the book continues, it becomes blatantly obvious that Ahab hates his obsession and is greatly disturbed by the fact that he is obsessed. This self-hatred makes Ahab human be...

Lost Years Court Life
851 wordsShakespeare may have made his way to London with this acting troupe, eventually settling there as a playwright and theatre-owner. Allen could well have hired Shakespeare as an actor in London. Though plausible, these theories have been heavily disputed, not least because there is nothing other than the Houston will to connect Shakespeare with Lancashire.
