Lady Macbeth is an interesting character, no matter how she is staged, or how she is read. The changes in the way she reacts – going from a seemingly confident woman who herself urges her husband to shore up his courage in the face of what he has to do, to someone who wavers more and more, until finally she kills herself – are a challenge to stage in a realistic manner. The weird sisters are said to be the three fates which appear in Greek and Roman mythology, though how much they are so is up for debate. There is ...

When did Queen Elizabeth die? The monarch died on September 8, 2022, at Balmoral Castle in Scotland at the age of 96. This marked the end ...

Surely, I thought it would be far easier to take-up the title and influence as King of Scotland; after all it would not be so very difficult to take the throne after a king whose mind was compromised, a tyrant at best who was guided by ambition and the fear of the prophecy that he was determined to never let come to pass. They looked at me with fear at first, but now I see hope, even in the eyes of the most impoverished; those who have lost the most. Already I have made plans to undo the damage ...

The Greco-Roman myth is characterized by familial power struggles which mean that power structure was primarily hereditary as power revolved around one family. Familial power structures are reflected by the way Zeus allocated responsibilities to his sons and daughters. The gods, such as Zeus father, killed their sons for fear that they would usurp them while there were also incidences where gods would be dethroned from power. The Greco-Roman myth reflects the way power struggles interfere with the functioning of the society and the extent to which those in authority are willing to go in sustaining their authority and ...

Happiness is one of the most sought, but yet one of the most elusive humankind’s wishes. The greatest thinkers in history have all touched the idea of the happiness, and possibly how to attain it. Many Buddhists will avoid any activity that causes pleasure, since they believe that positive physical sensations distract the brain from achieving meaningful moral clarity. In the Western world, the Utilitarian theory that happiness derives from the most amount of pleasure minus the least amount of pain, has really taken off in the last 50 years (with advertising suggesting that instant and temporary satisfaction ...

Basic Conflict and its Context

The main conflict in Sophocles’ Antigone revolves around the burial of a corpse. Antigone wants her deceased brother Polyneices to have a proper burial, and is decided to have this happen in spite of the obstacles that she may find in her way. On the other hand, King Creon prohibits this because he believes that Polyneices is a traitor, saying that he died “laying waste the land for which he fought” (Sophocles). This obviously clashes with Antigone’s set desire, as the titular character is intent on burying him, claiming that this is right, regardless of what Creon’s ...

The struggle for independence is not a new topic in Europe as the region’s history depicts a myriad of conflicts that occurred for the sake of independence from monarchies and the desire for self-governance.

However, even after the Great Wars have ended, there were still factions hoping to separate themselves from their respective countries in the hopes of reestablishing their identities prior to their inclusion to larger countries. Catalonia, for instance, has been actively working on pushing ...

Antigone and Creon are characters who assume parallel perspectives. There is a sharp contrast between the two and in almost all instances—they do not seem to be in harmony.

African resistance to colonial powers has an extensive history that dates before the nineteenth century. The responses to colonial rule varied by location, religion, and resources that included both violent and nonviolent tactics. It is important to note that most rebellions were complex and strategically planned in the rising intolerance of colonial rule on the continent of Africa. Although Europeans aimed to divide and conquer, they did not always successfully change relationships among African communities who worked together in resistance. Nonetheless, foreign colonial powers were successful in recruiting tribes to assist in conquering other tribes who were in conflict. ...

Analysis of the Character of Shakespeare's Macbeth in the Social and Historical Contexts

The play "Macbeth" by William Shakespeare, which is based on the Scottish history, appears to be not so much a work of art as a political response to the era in which it was necessary to develop a Scottish theme, emphasize the historical friendship of England and Scotland, and tell about the popular witches and witchcraft at the new royal court. Undoubtedly, tragedies are the creative heritage of William Shakespeare. They express the power of his brilliant mind and the essence of his era, precisely because the subsequent periods comprehended their conflicts through the prism of the Shakespearean works ...

One of the historians, who described the Persians, was Herodotus. Herodotus is considered to be one of the first true historians of Western Civilization, who lived during the Classical Age of Greece.

Art today finds itself under the attack of the consumer society, which approaches it with the same lack of curtesy as it grants consumer goods. This may seem to create a loss of value for art which has become easy to reproduce. While in the past, art was removed from the everyday context, and only the privileged few had access to it, today, it is not only more easily accessible, but even the poorest people can afford to have their walls decorated with reproduced versions of paintings by famous artists. Being able to access it so easily, art loses ...

If Othello had simply been willing to use a similar thought process to that which helps the characters in the film Get Shorty make their complex ethical decisions, the play would have been a lot shorter. Othello might still have been thoughtful in the way he went about finding whether or not Desdemona was cheating on him or not with Cassio, but he definitely would have capped Cassio when Cassio wandered into a scene, drunk as usual, instead of just moping with Iago scene after scene, letting the wily Venetian ply his drama. After all, as Hamlet (the protagonist of another Shakespeare ...

Christianity was not a popular religion than it is today. In fact, historians and theology scholars debate regarding the true nature of the Christian religion. Originally, they concluded it as a sect of Judaism1 since Jesus Christ was born a Jew. As a religious leader, He was charismatic, performed many miracles, and defended the poor as well as the oppressed. Through cultural diffusion2, the new religion gained a small but loyal group of followers such as the twelve apostles who would eventually travel the Roman Empire to preach His teachings and spread the awareness of the public to the Christian religion. History proves that ...
