Lady Macbeth

My impressions of Lady Macbeth are that she seems very feisty and ruthless. Besides being married to Macbeth, she seems to be his partner in crime. This is supported by her determination to have him kill king Duncan so that he can become king. She is very power-hungry and is using her husband to get that power. It reveals that there is an eerie, occult tone throughout the rest of the play and that the witches are going to cause trouble. The weather is stormy and foggy which reflects the corrupt and selfish thoughts in the rest of the act. It seems like a dark play. It gives him a taste of power but no way to actually grasp it.

Contrasting Twelve Angry Men to Roll of Thunder Hear my Cry By: Oscar C Carrillo The characters in these books have to face their responsibilities to right injustices or wrongdoing. In Twelve Angry Men and Roll of Thunder Hear my Cry, the characters frequently face prejudiced opinions and threats of harm in many ways. Socioeconomic prejudice takes place in both books because of judgments and prejudices against the lower class because of their socioeconomic status. Both books also contain struggles of inherent power. However, in Roll of Thunder Hear my Cry most struggles are due to racism, which is not the case in Twelve Angry Men. In both these books the main theme is how characters have to figure out how to face their responsibilities to right these injustices

T.S. Eliot?s acclaimed poem ?The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock? , engages the use of metaphors, imagery, allusions, and other figurative language devices to explain the story of a man called J. Alfred Prufrock, who is having trouble asking a question to his lover, who in this case, is the reader. This poem in its dreamlike setting provides the reader with a mysterious and dark tone of voice. The poem begins in a peculiar yet symbolic fashion with a quote from Dante?s classic Inferno. A man Dante meets in Hell, whose sin is lying to God, false counsel, speaks the quote. Although this quote is somewhat meaningless to the reader in the beginning, its significance becomes prominent later on.

Sarah Hock Professor Diller IDH3931 September 5, 2013 Resume #2 In this portion of the novel, Lancelot leaves his childhood home in the Lady Niniane?s enchanted lake and arrives at the court of King Arthur. This is this is particularly striking because he does so not only in secret, but also with all white accoutrements. The juxtaposition of two opposing concepts- in this case the secrecy of his journey with the unblemished and proud white of his retinue- is representative of the larger theme of moral conflict explored throughout the work.
