    Lady Macbeth Quotes

    Lady Macbeth is married to Macbeth the main character in this play, making her one of the key characters in this play. Lady Macbeth is a woman who lusts for power, authority and control through her husband. She persuades Macbeth into killing Duncan so that he can become king after the incident. She characterizes one of the ongoing thematic elements of guilt throughout the play and this finally leads to her death in the end. The quote "a little water clears us of this deed" is a simple statement made by Lady Macbeth which becomes ironic as the play progresses because the metaphorical "clear water" of truth which she speaks of is never used by either her or Macbeth.…

The threat of punishment is what Hester and Pearl had to endure throughout the entire story. In my opinion Pearl is the most misunderstood character throughout the book.

    Lady Macbeth Quote Analysis

    "Look like the innocent flower, but be the serpent under it (Act 1, Scene 5, Page 3)." This quote was said by Lady Macbeth and I found it interesting because, this quote is actually being compared to Lady Macbeth instead of Macbeth. The flower is being compared to her by how she treated other people. For example, when the king came to her house/castle, she actually treated him well. Also she was being compared to the serpent because, she actually want to kill the king. So the quote is saying that Lady Macbeth is nice and kind on the outside, but evil on the inside.…

    Scarlet Letter Guilt Quotes

    While reading The Scarlet Letter book I had a little trouble with understanding the words and how it was used back in the days because they have different meanings to it now. The Scarlet letter brought out many morals to me along with the themes that I was given to explain. If I would have to make up a theme or moral of the story, is not to lie because the more you hold in the lie the deeper the guilt grows you it will make you into a different person, it will make you become something you don't want to become it will make you turn into something terrible that honestly you would not want to become.…

For example, slavery in America was developed by the white majority in the South, to assure that their economy would succeed. Tyranny of both types mentioned still exists in the world today.…
