Chain Of Events One Month
1,253 wordsUpon my first reading of Jorge Luis Borges Death and the Compass I found myself reacting to the chain of events not unlike the bland but efficient Inspector Treviranus. The Hotel du Nord with its hateful whiteness, numbered divisibility, and general appearance of a bordello seemed a natural place for a crime of greed and betrayal to have gone sour on a luckless criminal. The lure of priceless sapphires and mistaken destination was more than enough to recreate the crime that had taken place. Insp...

Greed For Power Macbeth And Lady Macbeth

For example, in Act One, Scene One, three witches appear and the atmosphere is one of a stormy, gloomy night. The audience instinctivel...

King Lear Act Ii
654 wordsOne of the primary themes portrayed in "King Lear" is the harsh effects of betrayal by one's loved ones.

A contrast between actual insanity and fabricated madness aids in the ...

Now we will turn in our discussion to a possible objection to the fact that Othello is a tragic hero.
