    What is a villain? By definition it is “the person or thing responsible for specified trouble‚ harm‚ or damage” or an antagonist who seems fit to be a terrible‚ evil‚ unjust person but to me villains are not that. Villains are people who are unfairly looked upon as villains such as those with tattoos‚ graffiti artists‚ hacktivists‚ or even urban climbers. These people are all labeled as villains because they do something out of the norm to make themselves happy or perhaps others when what they do

    Villain or heroine? Clytemnestra‚ one of the most misunderstood characters in all of the Oresteia. By most she is looked at as a terrible monster of a woman who killed her husband to take another man as her lover and then banished her children‚ but if her story is actually looked back on she might have every justifiable reason to have kicked Agamemnon to the curb. Not only does Agamemnon kill her daughter just so he can go to war –talk about daddy problems-‚ but they begin much before that when

    Aztecs were both a Spanish conquest as well as an Indian civil war. The thing that ties them both together is the Conquistador Hernan Cortes. You could argue for both sides as to which played a more significant part in the fall of the Aztecs‚ however‚ I feel they both played an equal role in the defeat of the Aztecs and the fall of Tenochititlan to the Spaniards. When Cortes first came to Mexico‚ he did not know the language spoken by the Indian tribes. He was fortunate enough to have two interpreters;
