    opening of Shakespeare’s Macbeth‚ the three witches state “fair is foul and foul is fair.” This line establishes a theme appearing several times throughout Macbeth. The idea that good and bad frequently come together influences the characters’ actions and the play’s ending. “Fair is foul and foul is fair” makes everything seem different than previously thought. Because the witches start out the play with the theme “fair is foul and foul is fair‚” the audience can expect many twists and turns in the

    political situations influenced certain things that were written. However‚ Shakespeare was not historically correct in everything. It is a play afterall! At the very first scene in Macbeth strikes the keynote of the play. The words “ Fair is foul‚ and foul is fair” are very important and overused words throughout the play. “ Look like the innocent flower/but be the serpent under’t’”

I am sure a lot of people would argue and say that it is not the best. They probably think that they are right in their mind‚ and that is okay. Proportional tax‚ is “a tax for which high-income and low-income taxpayers pay the same fraction of income.” The reason why I think proportional tax is the best‚ because fair is fair. The current tax system that

    Sawyer Auer LIBLR 123 Take home exam #1 October 23‚2012 Tieck; Eckbert the Fair Tiek’s “fairy tale” of Eckbert the fair strays from the classical conception of style given to modern fairy tales. Fairy tales are often associated with several defining characteristics; extra-ordinary circumstances‚ “happy endings” and a moral to be learned. While Tieck’s tale does obey two of these three guidelines‚ he does so in a negative manor going the opposite way of twentieth century thought. Tiek’s

    In Shakespeare’s play‚ MacBeth‚ the theme of “Fair is foul ‚ and foul is fair” is a predominant theme. The meaning of the theme is that the line between good and evil are blurred. For example‚ is as Duncan arrives to MacBeth’s dwelling he says‚ “This castle hath a pleasant seat. The air nimbly and sweet recommends itself unto our gentle sense”(1.6.1-3)Act Ⅰ‚ scene ⅵ‚ line 1-3). This indicates that the caste is pleasant‚; but in reality it’s where his worst nightmare will happen‚ his death. Duncan

    mesopotomia people had to follow strict laws called the Hammurabi’s code. Hammurabi was born 1810 B.C in Babylon‚ Iraq and ruled for 42 years. He wrote 282 laws. My personal opinion on the Hammurabi’s code is that it is unfair to all people. There are three laws I want to explain that can be shown that Hammurabi’s code was unjust. They are law 196‚ law 199‚ and law 218. Law 196 is an eye for an eye‚ if a man puts out a free mans eye then he shall have his eye put out. Law 199 on the other hand‚ is if a
