Good Versus Evil Hester Prynne
420 wordsThe Scarlet Letter is a wonderful and not so traditional example of the good versus evil theme. What makes this a unique instance of good versus evil is that either side could be considered either one. Hester could very easily have been deduced as evil, or the bad guy, as she was by the townspeople. That is, she was convicted of adultery, a horrible sin of the time. As for punishment, a sentence to wear a scarlet A upon her chest, it would hardly be considered a burden or extreme sentence in pre...

Didn Acute T Lady Macbeth
1,424 wordsAfter careful thought I do not agree with King Duncan´ s death marks the beginning of Macbeth´ s downfall. Shakespeare emphasises throughout the play that Macbeth has free will and can choose whether Chance will crown me. I think his downfall began at the first meeting with the witches when he was rapt withal at the prospects they gave him. A major influence of the play was the new King James I.
