Light And Dark Steel Windpipe Doctor
654 wordsI enjoy reading "The Steel Windpipe" because of its mood and the style of the writer. The content is fresh and the theme is clearly depicted through the characters.

Lies In The Fact King Lear
1,125 wordsShakespeare's dynamic use of irony in King Lear aids the microcosmic illustration of not only 16 th century Britain, but of all times and places.

One type of fool that Shakespeare involves in King Lear is the immoral fool. Edmund,...
