David Rosenblatt English 12 Mr. Knapp 12 February 2015 Pampered or Pampers In the Victorian Era‚ there was a lack of respect for women‚ along with the reality that women did not work or contribute to the family’s funding.

It seems like just yesterday that I was the newly crowned King of Scotland right after Macbeth’s short but terrorising reign. In fact coming this October that would’ve been 11 years ago. I am the eldest son of King Duncan and also was the one to put the end to Macbeth. Despite this‚ I surely wasn’t prepared for being the new King of Scotland.

In the six years I spent tracking David Addley‚ it never occurred to me that he didn’t exist. Sitting in the corner of a padded room in a straight jacket can be an enlightening experience. The nurses had told me numerous times the night before that there was no one named David Addley who lived in the small town I’d come too searching for him. I didn’t and couldn’t believe them at the time. I had screamed his name all night through the holes on the window of my cell door until the nurses were forced

This kind of behavior would have never been accepted back in my day. The warrior life was tough; we had to weed out the weak men from the strong. We only accepted men
