I think this is just something she is trying to do to make them think so if she is guilty she can plead insanity if she would need to. I think this is another poor way that she is trying to cover her behind for the murder by saying she was taken over by Mary’s spirit. It is weak and I don’t think it would hold up in court. I have two more passage from the book that will back up my opinion on thinking that she is guilty. The part where she is hypnotized and “Mary” If you want to say, says, “I am not lying!
Shahrazad’s wanted to show King Shahriyar’s that not all women are the same, and she’s also to bring the King back into perspective. In Shahrazad's story women to appear authoritarian. For example, the tailor's wife who was crazy enough to stick a bone in the hunchback's mouth and she quickly takes charge of the situation. She says, ‘Your cries are of no avail’, we must do something. The tailor ‘whimpered', while his wife instructs him on her fake plot (Page 24).
She is fearful that Macbeth’s kind nature will inhibit him from killing the king. Lady Macbeth is determined to psychologically manoeuvre Macbeth’s morals and doubts so that the plan can go ahead. She states she will ‘pour my spirits in thine ear.’ This shows that she believes she must feed her own ideas in to Macbeth’s head to brainwash him in to killing Duncan. ‘Spirits’ gives indication to substances such as alcohol or poison, as if Lady Macbeth is filling his head with harmful poisonous thoughts to cloud his judgment and morals. She then goes on to say ‘chastise with the valour of my tongue.’ This show that Lady Macbeth will use her bold words to get Macbeth to agree with her.
Though the information given to him about her smarts, Holmes believes he will be the man to retrieve the photo. He ignores all the warning about the her cleverness and attempts to outwit her based on his general knowledge based on observations of women. He plays on her feminie sympathies by getting beat up in front of her home (Doyle 15). She falls for it and takes him in. With Watsons help they create an illusion of fire in her home, because according to Holmes, she’s like all women will instinctnatively grab the item she values most.
She rises ominously and quietly and moves toward Happy, who backs up into the kitchen, afraid” (Miller 1457). Happy brought her flowers as if it would fix everything and saying that Willy had a good time, but Linda bursts at them to leave and reveals how she feels about her sons. Linda shouts, “Did you have to go to women tonight? You and your lousy rotten whores!” (Miller 1457) She does not want the boys to torment Willy anymore and orders Happy to
It is such an important factor in this play because as mentioned earlier it is what introduces the main point. After Goody Proctor got arrested Proctor was determined to prove her innocence and Abigail’s false allegations. He presents himself at court to talk to the “Excellency” about Abigail and the girls’ false visions. He has Mary Warren testify which catches Abigail off guard and she has to pretend that she is once again being attacked. Proctor angered by this calls her a whore and says “I have known her, sir.
The points that will be argued are, that Lady Macbeth played a large role in the murder of King Duncan, The three witches planted the idea in Macbeth’s head, and that the murder of King Duncan was all Macbeths doing. In many ways, Lady Macbeth drives Macbeth to the murder and acts as more of a physical spur, as opposed to the witches who use a mental approach. She bullies him, uses emotional blackmail and knows he is morally sensitive so he must be pushed. She mocks his bravery and knows he is a warrior and will be insulted. When Macbeth is thinking about not going ahead with the plan she says, “When you durst do it, then you were a man; and, to be more than what you were, you would be so much more the man”.
And demandin’ of her how she come to be so stabbed, she testify it were your wife’s familiar spirit pushed it in’” (Miller 71). Spoken by Ezekiel Cheever, a clerk of the court, this dialogue shows that Abigail purposely stabs herself to make it seem as if it were the evil act of Elizabeth’s spirit. When the townsmen search the Proctors’ home, they discover the poppet with a needle poked in it (Abigail’s doing). Elizabeth is arrested, and Abigail is satisfied – for the time being. John Proctor, on the other hand, is outraged because he clearly knows the real motive behind Abigail’s deceitful
He is younger than Hulga. When he arrives to sell his bibles at the Hopewell home he presents himself as a pious soul with a devotion to missionary work. As he tells his story to the gullable Mrs. Hopewell, he tells her that he is a simple, country boy, with a heart condition. Like a key in a lock, the words from Mr. Pointer cause Mrs. Hopewell to invite him to dinner. Hulga over hears much of this conversation and tells her mother to “get rid of the salt of the earth.” (p.465) Hulga is suspicious of Manly, yet Mrs. Hopewell can only think about possibility of the yong man being a positive influence on her daughter.
Circe had invited Odyseeus’s crew into her home, she filled their bowls with a wonderful stew but “Once they’d drained the bowls she filled, suddenly she struck with her wand, drove them into her pigsties, all of them bristling into swine” (Homer 237, 261-263). This shows that Circe was more worried about playing scrabble with men and turning them into animals than respecting the code of hospitality. Even when she offers hospitality in the end, she still has the motive of playing scrabble with Odysseus, and just wants that from him. Calypso is the next to be inhospitable when she keeps Odysseus against his will in her home, even when he wants to go home. This is evidenced by the fact that he was “weeping there as always, wrenching his heart with sobs and groans and anguish, gazing out over the barren sea through blinding tears”
