Young Goodman Brown Scarlet Letter
832 wordsAlthough many readers may say Hawthorne's writing is difficult to understand, the descriptions of the characters and settings are vividly depicted through the use of allegory, and his many instances of symbolism throughout his stories.

Opposite Sex Extra Credit

Stephano And Trinculo Example Of Caliban Prospero
1,179 wordsThe Tempest is not a pure fantasy tale, but a purposeful allegory. The characters in the play are all representative of characters found in the bible. The first, and perhaps most persuasive, arguement would be Prospero symbolizing God. Prospero is seen to be a representative of God for several reasons. First, he is obviously in control of the actions and has an omnipotent quality. This has been demonstrated by several scenes throughout the play. Consider the power that Prospero possesses, as sho...

1,060 wordsH 2 >"this dead butcher and his fiend-like queen." Is this a fair comment on the characters of the Macbeth's?
- Malcolm said this. There
is bias. Macbeth kills his father Duncan. Malcolm
should be king instead of Macbeth. Macbeth seizes
power by force. Also, Macbeth brings chaos and
destruction to Scotland (his homeland). Therefore,
Malcolm makes a subjective comment on the
Macbeth's that they are "butcher" and "fiend-like
queen." However, it contains some truth in it.
