Prince Of Cumberland Lady Macbeth
1,484 wordsInnocence is a quality that few people take to their grave, although all are born with it. At some point in one's life, an event or circumstance removes that shield from both moral and legal guilt, whether in one's own eyes or in the eyes of another. In such a case, innocence is cast off, or innocence can be stolen. Both are true of Macbeth in William Shakespeare's tragic work Macbeth. The hero's innocence and name make him vulnerable prey for those who feel completely at home in a subhuman real...

Point Of View Don Quixote
501 wordsThe Adventures of Don Quixote by Miguel Cervantes is a long novel that will give you a different perspective on madness and the curing of it. This is not a work of literature for those who like to read a book quickly because I can't see someone just skimming through Don Quixote. In medieval times, knight-errant's roamed the countryside of Europe, rescuing damsels and vanquishing evildoers. This may sound absurd to many people in this time, but what if a person read so many books about these so-c...

Based On Sexual Sexual Orientation
2,592 wordsThe argument on rights, be it human, animal, black, white or gray, is always a difficult one. One should begin by deciding who makes up these rights. Even that in itself would be difficult enough. If a group of white men made a list of rights for black men, one could say it would be biased. Fortunately on December 10, 1948 the General Assembly of the United Nations adopted and proclaimed the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. A set of standards for each member of the human species. Yet, thes...

It is not told to make the other pilgrims laugh, rather to explain an extremely important lesson.
