Macbeth - Authority
Words: 977 - Pages: 4.... rebel Macdonwald:
Disdaining fortune, with his brandished steel,
Which smoked with bloody execution,
... Till he unseamed him from the nave to th' chops,
And fixed his head upon our battlements (act I, scene, ii, lines 17- 23).

Dracula 2

In his third encounter, strangers made the sign of a cross and pointed at him. During all of this, Jonathan had no clue why these people were acting in this strange way, nor did he have a notion to question why. Even though he is oblivious to the reasons for their behavior, he blindly continues on the path the strangers warned him not to go on. Another depiction of this ignorance is shown through Dr. Seward and Dr. Van Helsing as they work on a patient, Lucy Westerna. After the doctors diag .....

Words: 878 - Pages: 4.... is “cunning past man’s thought” (I.ii.146). In reply to this Enobarbus speaks very freely of his view of Cleopatra, even if what he says is very positive:
...her passions are made of
nothing but the finest part of pure love. We cannot
call her winds and waters sighs and tears; they are
greater storms and tempests than almanacs can report.
This cannot be cunning in her; if it be she makes a
shower of rain as well as Jove.
(I, ii, 147-152)
After Antony reveals that he has just heard news of his wife’s death, we are once again offered an example of Enobarbus’ freedom to speak his mind, in that he tells Antony to “give the gods a .....
