Geek love was a very interesting novel. The narrator of the story, Olympia, or Oly as they call her, tells the story of her life as an albino hunchback dwarf living with her family as they travel the world as their own circus. I wouldn’t have read it on my own accord but, that put aside it was a very unique, out of the ordinary, puzzling piece of literature. One thing that I would change about the story geek love would be the ending. At the end of the book Oly kills Ms. Lick and then turns around and kills herself because she couldn’t deal with life on life’s terms.

Shakespeare’s Macbeth remains one of his most popular plays. Here, we have the playwright’s shortest play, but arguably the most intense. The first impressions of Macbeth are profound, his overwhelming ambitions and abilities are introduced, and these characteristics are proven later to be fatal like so many tragic heroes before him. My initial impression of Macbeth, based on the captain’s report of his valour and prowess in battle, is that he is strong and brave, a heart throb for most of the women in Scotland at that time. Although at the beginning of the book he is courageous and noble his reaction to the witches’ pronouncements emphasizes his great desire for power and prestige.
