However source 16 states that the British themselves were reluctant to grant India independence. When the British PM, Neville Chamberlain, declared war on Germany on 3 September 1939, the Viceroy, Lord Linlithgow, followed him. He was acting just within the limits of his legal powers to do this without consulting any Indians. This indicated that Britain was still behaving as a master and called into question any of its previous concessions. This furthered the Indian’s desire for independence but they were still faced with the challenges of overcoming the divisions within India.
Macbeth then begins to ponder the power of fate. However at the same time, Banquo understands the role that free will plays when he quotes I. iii. 158-160 “New honors came upon him,/ Like ouir strange garments, cleave not/ to their mold/ But with the aid of use.” I. ii. 8-12 “And fortune, on his damned quarrel smiling/ Showed like a rebel’s whore, but all’s too weak:/ For brave Macbeth-- well he deserves that name--/ Disdaining fortune, with his brandished steel,/ Which smoked with bloody executions,” A bleeding captain returns from the battlefield and describes to Duncan and Malcolm the victory of Macbeth
Now onto a new topic, the abundance of morals to find. That’s right I said find, while Huck goes on his adventure you can go on your own looking for the hidden meaning behind each corner. I’ll name a few to give you an example. Jump off the Bandwagon, be who you want to be, is what Huck teaches you right off the bat as he dodges ‘sivilization’ pushed onto him by a pair of well-meant but forceful old women. Next Pap Finn teaches the evils of alcohol, this drunkard of a father abuses Huck and is only interested in him when money’s involved, for buying more booze of course.
In Macbeth one of the key themes which Shakespeare shows is Ambition. Ambition is the one thing which turns weak minded people like Macbeth from a loyal, good hearted general to a murderous, cold tyrant. This theme is represented through a variety of dramatic devices and characterisation techniques. Shakespeare makes Macbeth an easy victim of ambition. Macbeth himself quotes, "I have no spur to prick the sides of my intent, but only Vaulting Ambition, which o'er-leaps itself and falls in the other."
. . because your name speaks for itself.” Throughout Romeo and Juliet, Tybalt continuously thinks his aggressive behavior is justified because he wants to protect the Capulet family name and honor. Tybalt’s actions have tarnished the Capulet family name not because of the Montagues, but rather, because of his own immoral, vindictive hatred, which make him the archetypal character of villain.
While Falstaff’s ideals are pernicious, Henry’s condition is “to cold and temperate” and it is this very unsuitability to the throne that leads England to decay under his rule. He speaks contemptuously of “vulgar company,” “gibing boys” and “vile participation” in everyday life, illustrating his disdain for the common man. Simultaneously, he also idolizes Hotspur as “gallant,” “the theme of honours toungue,” and the “straightest plant…amongst a grove”. Yet in reality, Henry and Falstaff are both flawed role models, while Hotspur is also proven to be an inadequate leader. His ideas are deemed “dangerous,” “hare-brained,” and “uncertain” confirming that honour is not confined to valorous fighting.
However, the most incredible of all these passages is found in Act 4, Scene 1, Lines 164-177, where Macbeth contemplates his inner thoughts to himself. Here, Macbeth speaks to time, providing the audience with a more in depth image of its importance. Also, Macbeth’s diction is short and fierce, further pushing the play’s theme of insanity slowly taking over Macbeth’s mind. Lastly, the passage faultlessly illustrates Macbeth’s fatal flaw of ambition slowly ruining his inner being. With these things taken into account, it will be effortless for one to show just how lovely this passage is
The judges made it seem obvious that the narrator’s life was coming to an end. The fear that the judges put into the narrator is used to help him realize the fate that awaited him. The judges are the most villainous from the chosen stories because of their evil conception of torturing and killing the narrator. The short-stories villains are arranged from least villainous to most villainous. Okeke would be the least villainous because his actions were not as extreme as the other two villains.
Macbeth A dynamic character is a character that goes through a vast amount of change throughout the story. Shakespeare's Macbeth is one of the greatest examples of a dynamic character, moving from light to dark, warm-hearted to cold-hearted; even good to evil. This change is clearly visible from his first thought of killing Duncan, then instantly kills Banquo without reflection. Macbeth begins his journey as an average man, no different than you or I. He is aware of the difference between what is right and what is wrong, and has a conscience, often feeling guilty from his acts.
O heavy burden!”. His hypocrisy and corrupt nature is demonstrated when he speaks to Laertes, through irony, “There’s such divinity doth hedge a king”, as God did not protect old Hamlet from being murdered by Claudius. Despite this Claudius is not utterly evil; he does love Gertrude and recognises that his “offense is rank ... smells to the heavens”. Claudius unlike Hamlet manages to manipulate fortune and take what he wants (the throne, and Gertrude), the end result justifying his means. Polonius effectively demonstrates notions of corruption throughout the play.
