Fair is Foul and Foul is Fair Mrs. McGuinness Wednesday Dec 12th 2012 ENG3U1a Stephanie Clue In Dracula (1897), Bram Stoker shows how the battle between Good and Evil can shape one’s character and how one looks at the world. When Jonathan finds out that Dracula has been feeding from his wife, he and a small group of men set out to destroy him. However, in Shakespeare’s Macbeth (1606), Macbeth kills the king in order to gain power and prestige. As a result of his crime, Macbeth becomes more and more paranoid and distrustful of everyone around him, thus resulting in his eventual death. While nearly three hundred years separate these two pieces of literature, both explore how the hunger for power can destroy lives and entire nations.
In the novel, they really struggled with many things - the adoption process, Sohrab trusting Amir and most importantly, Sohrab's attempted suicide. These hardships really were important to the overall story and I wish they were included. Not only did they not expand this time period, the discussion between Soraya and Amir about children was never shown. I think this was important because they vetoed adoption in the book, but made an exception in the end. I think that should have
She is annoying Macbeth until he gives in and commits the murder. Shakespeare is writing his play as the Witches being the tormentors and the evil ones thinking of the king special in mind. This is because the king and people in those times believed that witches causes every bad thing. The king also believes that the witches also killed his mother and his father. Also because of making witches being the evil people in the play he would get more funding for his theatre.
You belong then to my enemy – to him towards whom I have sworn eternal revenge; you shall be my first victim.” He then takes a picture of Caroline Frankenstein that he finds on William. (Chapter 16) Later the monster stumbles upon a girl (Justine) asleep in the straw. He tucks the picture of Caroline he took from William into the dress of Justine, which in short makes the townspeople accuse her of murdering William. Victor is aware the whole time what has taken place and instead of speaking up (worried he might look like a fool) he lets Justine be sentenced to death for a murder that he in essence was responsible for. Still Victor is only concerned for himself and is worried what this would do to his reputation?
If Dracula succeeds in turning the ladies into vampires, this will fully release their sexuality and its expressions. This is shown as an evil in the novel perhaps because a woman that embraces her sexuality has obtained power. In Dracula, female vampires represent women’s sexuality and vampirism; merely masks man’s forbidden fantasies. Though Dracula makes up the horror aspect of the novel the true “terror” lies in the awakening of
He was constantly trying to escape from his problems and the deaths that were his fault. Victor was trying to escape from the :monster” he created, however it just drew the creature closer to him. The creature was the instrument in the deaths of all of Victor’s loved ones- William, Justine, Henry and Elizabeth. Victor was so consumed with escaping from the monster that even on his wedding night he was less concerned with Elizabeth, leading to her death. As the deaths continued and the monster’s vengeance inclined, Victor became increasingly enthralled in his problems and seemingly ignored others’.
Vlad was not a good ruler; he was very harsh and killed up to tens of thousands of people. For his very harsh and cruel way of killing he got the nick name Vlad the impalor, which in my opinion is not a good thing to be called and not something to be proud of at all. The author of Dracula, Bram Stoker based his novel about the blood thirsty vampire in Transylvania because that is where the real Vlad Dracula was born and also was a very popular place that many vampire tales and folklore had already been plotted there. Bram has based his character on prince Dracula mainly for seeing that he truly was an evil soul that punished those that did not share the same opinion or disobeyed his rules and laws, and the fact that back when he was alive many feared him just like how people feared the vampire count Dracula. A mythical creature famous at Halloween that is not a vampire that I also adore is a werewolf.
Macbeth Motif Essay In Shakespeare’s play Macbeth, Macbeth the thane of Glamis is easily mislead by the prophecies of the three witches. After one of their prophecies becomes true and he becomes the thane of Cawdor he is fooled into believing the rest of the prophecies. Macbeth willing to do anything to gain the throne of King Duncan commits many murders. He kills anyone that gets between him and his ambition of the throne. His greedy and power hungry wife, Lady Macbeth, assists him in devising plans to kill King Duncan and seize Scotland.
Whether if he is naïve or whether it is his ego, Victor believes that when he does not follow the creatures demand for him to create a female monster for him, he is only putting his life in danger. For example, when the creature says he will see Victor on wedding night, he believes he is the target of the creature. He sadly finds out that it was Elizabeth who was the target when he says “I rushed towards her and embraced her with ardour, but the deadly languor and coldness of the limbs…The murderous mark of the fiend’s grasp was on her neck, and the breath had ceased to issue from her lips,” (Shelley 204). At this point near the end of the book, Victor finally realizes what the creature wants, but the creature feels the determination to make victors life miserable. It is best said by a blogger when they said “The monster yearns to be a part of society, wants to be recognized by his creator, and desires to have a wife so that he can know kindness and love first hand.
