The first reason is that because Abigail Williams is extremely manipulative and vindictive. Abigail tries to get Procter to pity her saying, “You loved me, John Proctor, and whatever sin it is, you love me yet! John, pity me, pity me!” (Miller 22). Abigail wants Procter to pity and give her what she wants, regardless that his wife caught them once and can catch them again. Another reason their relationship is dangerous is that if John Procter were to prosecute against Abigail Williams saying that she is in fact a witch, Abigail Williams could very easily tell the entire town that she and Procter have been having an affair to get revenge on him.
“the two older sisters were very vein and cruel…[they made the girl do all the house work and charred her face] pg.” The story really shocked me. I thought that the girl would become beautiful like in the other Cinderella stories but, I was wrong. I really liked this version better than the one I grew up with because of the magnificent theme that it had. The theme is that beauty is on the inside rather than just on the outside. Even though, the girl’s face was burnt the invisible man looked past that and saw her for her.
Emilia is Desdemona’s maid and she has a mind of her own. Through discussions she has with Desdemona the reader can concur that she will do anything necessary to get to the top even if that is sleeping around. She also says in one of her and Desdemona’s conversations that women only cheat because men have taught them to do so by neglecting them and fraternizing with other women. Emilia is a woman who although different from Desdemona is not all bad. She is as duped by her husband, Iago, as much as the rest of the cast and she tries to amend her wrongdoings in the end by telling the truth to Othello although she is too late to save her mistress, Desdemona.
Samson fell madly in love with an enticing woman, Delilah. The rulers of the Philistines offered her eleven hundred shekels of silver if she could lure him into revealing his weakness to her so they could then attack him with guaranteed success. She fails three times before she says to Samson, “ How can you say ‘I love you’ when you won’t confide in me?” (Judges 16:4, 15). He finally tells her that the secret of his strength is his hair, and if it were to be cut, he would loose all power. Delilah used her beauty and manipulative ways to steal his thrown and gain silver shekels for herself.
She also tries to ally with them when she says ‘I’d like to bust him myself’, she is referring to Curley and says how she also hates him too. In addition to this candy says ‘curley’s wife can move quiet. I guess she had a lot of practice though’ meaning she is always after men behind curley’s back that she has got very skilled and can leave without anyone
Nurse aids the audience to understand that Medea is a great “manipulator.” After Medea helped Jason secure the Golden Fleece, she helped him escape his “evil” uncle, Pelias. She manipulated Pelias’ daughters into killing only for the love of Jason, and betrayed her own father and brothers to live with Jason. “I betrayed my own family to come here with you… and yet you have betrayed me.” Not only there, Medea’s swaying is distinctive as she appeals to King Creon as a parent to stay for the day, “Oh I am wretched, pity me for my sufferings,” while she devilishly plans to kill the three- Jason, King Creon and his daughter, Glauce. The audience of the play is given a second perspective of Medea by the Tutor, Pedagogue. He presents Medea as
I believe that Rosie is staring at him because she is trying to say something. I think that Rosie is telling Jacob that what she is about to do is all for Jacob, Marlena and herself. She knows how cruel August is to Marlena and She knows that he is not her friend. This gives her that extra urge to kill him because there is nothing, in that moment, which is going to stop her. Marlena and Jacob are her true friends to her and I think she would be willing to go to any distance to protect them, which she clearly does at the
Lady Macbeth: The Queen of Deceit The Shakespearian play Macbeth is filled with violence, conflicts, and mysterious environments. Many intriguing and intelligent characters litter the plot, grabbing viewers, or readers’ interests and carrying them into the story.

Throughout the plot, she transforms from a courageous woman, to a rash murderer, and finally leading to a guilt-driven suicide.
Harker’s provocative description of these women turns the Victorian ideals into alluring acts of human sexuality. “I was afraid to raise my eyelids, but looked out and saw perfectly under the lashes. The girls went on her knees, and bent over me, simply gloating. There was a deliberate voluptuousness which was both thrilling and repulsive, and as she arched her neck, she actually licked her lips like an animal” (Stoker 39).The description of the women vampires illustrates the lust and weaknesses that men have for controlling women. The sisters are a prime example of how Victorian men are weakened by aggressive sexy women.
Some advised her to “play coy” a trait many girls go by while others told her to be “hearty”, fit in with the boys, neither of these were her. “Exercise, diet, smile, and wheedle” she was told which would definitely change her appearance. The negative peer pressure drove her to cut off her nose and legs. She “offered them up” as if they were a sacrifice and with out them she could truly gain beauty. At her funeral she had a “putty” nose the perfect one most would say and pink and white “nightie” to heighten her sex appeal.
