‘They came on Viking ships’ shows that everyone does contribute towards the society‚ but sometimes they don’t contribute towards the society. It’s a bit like one night when Hekja was caught singing by Snorri the Skald‚ and was told to sing at the feast that night but Hekja refused. Also when Erik the Red had died Freydis was given 2 farms and silver was divided equally between Thorvard‚ Freydis‚ and Leif. But Freydis never shared her wealth with the thralls-meaning she never gave them new clothes

Everything comes with some sort of price. To see something with no price is a clear deception. Macbeth is a tragedy of deception‚ with power-hungry nobles being tricked by wrathful witches just to create Chaos. Macbeth himself was both a victim and a perpetrator of this Deception. Even when he is planning to murder Banquo‚ he still acts civil to his best friend‚ “I wish your horses swift and sure of foot‚ and so I do commend you to their backs” (3.3.37-38).

The gospels mark 14:1-26 represents how Jesus is observing the important aspect of the Passover feast because in the feast‚ Jesus blesses some unleavened bread representing his body (the bread had no yeast like Jesus had no sin) and the wine representing his blood which he then asks the men to take it in memory of him.
