Macbeth 2 - Fixed
Words: 1275 - Pages: 5.... doth unfix my hair / And make my seated heart knock at my ribs" (I, iii, 133-35). In scene 5 of act 1, however, his "vaulting ambition" is starting to take over, but partly because of his wife's persuasion. He agrees that they must "catch the nearest way" (17), and kill Duncan that night. On the other hand, as the time for murder comes nearer, he begins giving himself reasons not to murder Duncan:
First, as I am his kinsman and his subject,
Strong both against the deed; then, as his host,
Who should against his murderer shut the door,
Not bear the knife myself.
(I, vii, 13-16)
When Lady Macbeth enters, though, she .....

CHARLES BAXTER
Words: 1069 - Pages: 4.... sense of description he uses throughout all of his works. When I am done you can decide if his writing differs from novels to short stories.
All fictional characters have certain qualities within themselves that no one else has. This is not always true. Most of Baxter's characters are all different in one way but yet are all very similar.

The same thing i .....

Sonnet 18
Words: 528 - Pages: 2.... love to this ideal day, “Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?” but decides against it in his second line because he feels his love is “more lovely and more temperate” that this day. He then proceeds to bombard us with images of natural nuisances such as windy days that “…shake the darling buds of May,” hot weather magnified because it is coming from heaven, and changing seasons. Shakespeare has taken the idea of a warm breezy summer day and twisted it into a sweltering day with the sun beating down on us.
However, in the lines after the destruction of a nice day, he makes us smile by the co .....

Song Of Solomon
Words: 1281 - Pages: 5.... right now the one important thing that you'll ever need to know: Own things. And let the things you own own other things too. Then you'll own yourself and other people too". The owning of things as well as other people is a rather remarkable statement, coming from a descendant of slaves. Macon has not inherited this trait from his father, even though he mistakenly thinks so. His father had owned things that "grew" other things, not "owned" other things.
Pilate Dead, Macon's younger sister, is a marked contrast to her brother and his family. Macon has a love of property and money, and this determines the nature of his relationships with .....

Tamed Shrews And Twelfth Nights: The Role Of Women In Shakes
Words: 1099 - Pages: 4.... Shrew is one of Shakespeare's most famous plays, and has weathered well into our modern era with adaptations into popular television series such as Moonlighting. For all the praises it has garnered throughout the centuries, it is curious to note that many have considered it to be one of his most controversial in his treatment of women. The "taming" of Katherine has been contended as being excessively cruel by many writers and critics of the modern era. George Bernard Shaw himself pressed for its banning during the 19th century (Peralta). The subservience of Katherine has been labeled as barbaric, antiquated, and generally demeaning. The p .....
