Lady Macbeth: Shakespeare’s Modern Day Medea Author and critic Judith Cook explains, “Lady Macbeth…has continued to intrigue and puzzle most commentators [and] critics over the centuries” (120). Lady Macbeth’s character is intriguing in that she is strong, persuasive, and committed, and Shakespeare understood the importance of presenting interesting characters. Former British professor Emrys Jones writes, “Much of Shakespeare’s power comes from his skill in choosing subjects that arouse interest and attention” (15). Shakespeare was a man who took what was popular at his time and adjusted those stories to create his works. In the case of Macbeth, critics have long recognized that Shakespeare borrowed extensively from Holinshed’s Chronicles of England, Scotland, and Ireland (1577).
Soon afterward Malcolm leads the fight against Macbeth, and fulfilling the prophecy of the witches. The witches showed him as a crowned child with a tree in his hand, saying “Macbeth shall never vanquished be until Great Birnam Wood to high Dunsinane Hill shall come against him.” Act IV scene 1 l. 92-94. Which meant that Macbeth had nothing to worry about until Birnam wood came to him on Dunsinane Hill. So thinking that for the woods to move was impossible Macbeth gained a false confidence. And Malcolm wanting to hide the numbers of his army decided to cut down branches of the forest and have his soldiers keep hidden behind them while on the way to the castle.
Carla Slaton July 20, 2014 Michael Prior/ HUMN 1101 Research Paper Leonardo and Tintoretto’s “The Last Supper” Baroque and Renaissance are two main eras in history. During these times different methods of skills were considerably progressive, like with music, architecture, paintings, and art. Throughout these times many masterpieces were created. This paper compares and contrasts two of these periods’ greatest artists’ paintings Leonardo da Vinci, “The Last Supper,” 1452-1519 (colorplate25) and Jacopo Tintoretto, “The Last Supper” 1518-1594 (colorplate33). Renaissance is a term meaning “New Birth.” This was an artistic crusade that occurred during the traditional and contemporary art periods (Johnson).
Euripides was a Greek playwright whom Aristotle called the most “tragic” of the Greek poets. He is certainly the most revolutionary Greek tragedian known during his own time period. Euripides’ plays exhibit his iconoclastic, rationalizing attitude toward both religious belief and the ancient legends and myths that formed the traditional subject matter for Greek drama. Euripides' literary style is often said to be much more "modern" than Aeschylus or Sophocles, the other great tragedians. This is because his dialogue often sounds almost conversational, much like modern realism.
English Essay The essay statement ‘Shakespeare writes about issues that are relevant today,’ I believe that this statement is correct as though societies have developed and evolved since Shakespearian times; the base structure of our emotional desires remain the same. These issues are illustrated within Shakespeare’s literature ‘The Tragedy of Macbeth’. Though it was composed in 1606 over 400 years ago. These themes are also displayed with the recent interpretation of the play; ‘Macbeth Retold’ this film was directed by Mark Brozel during the year 2005. The themes that have been illustrated with in both of the texts are Manhood, the next theme to be discussed is The Corrupting Power of Ambition- an ardent desire for rank, fame, or power.
Oliver Cromwell I think that Oliver Cromwell was right in executing the king because he was being traitorous and murderous just to retain his throne. Firstly, he kept on banding and disbanding the Parliament depending on whose side they were on. Secondly, when Oliver proposed his agreement to Charles, Charles decided to assassinate him. Thirdly, just to retain his position, he decided to call in a foreign army. Firstly, Charles kept on banding and disbanding the Parliament depending on if they favoured him or not.
They were required to be brave and noble. This poem tells of the story of one such knight who was tested to the seams based on the Christian and moral ideals of chivalry. The knight is called Sir Gawain (In this case will only be referred to just as Gawain). These tests are carried out through games and temptations. The games begin when the king according to his nature refuses to eat at the New Year’s banquet until he is told a story of a marvelous knightly deed.
Macduff, to emphasise his contempt for the “tyrant”, has fled to England, inadvertently exposing his family to danger. Not even he could have suspected Macbeth’s depravity, however. On a windy plain in Southern England, he meets with Malcolm, the rightful heir to the Scottish throne. In the finest traditions of cooperation between two frequently warring neighbours, the English king has made available “Good Siward and ten thousand men” (Line 14) to assist in the looming invasion. Ross rushes to England, ostensibly to tell Macduff first hand the tale of his family’s “savage slaughter”, in reality to sound out the prospects for changing sides and gaining favour.
Kings of Thebes: Creon and Oedipus Sophocles was a brilliant, prizewinning dramatist that wrote over 120 plays in his productive lifetime. Of those, only a handful of them survive today, two of which, Oedipus the King, and Antigone, have characters that show a number of like qualities. Oedipus and Creon were both Kings of Thebes and are similar in their ways of leadership, in their undying determination, and in their huge sense of pride. Creon and Oedipus both want to do what they think is best for the city of Thebes. In Oedipus the King, Oedipus recognizes that in order for his city to get back to the way it once was, before the plague, he has to find the person, or persons, responsible for King Lauis’ death.
