Shakespeare’s view on love is really the same as most of us others‚ maybe a better perspective of it. According to William "love is a complicated thing".

Macbeth started out the Scottish play as Thane of Glamis. He was a capable warrior‚ quite possibly the best.

We turn and dash into a T-Mobile store. My father checks out the deals and buys a hideous Nokia cellphone for my mother: a hard blue shell and a thumb-sized antenna. Ironically‚ this object that I have strongly disliked since it entered into my life twelve years ago represents me wholly. A fatal fall may damage any ordinary phone

Lord of the Flies vs. Macbeth What are the similarities of every man? Men have hair on our legs and backs‚ usually the head of the house hold‚ and usually more athletic than women. But there is one thing that isn’t always the clearest in a man’s life‚ the thirst for power. There is an evil inside every man‚ the want and need for power‚ and that every man will do anything in the world for that power‚ even kill his own friend. The evil inside every man can be so overpowering‚ that the man

In her novel Frankenstein‚ Mary Shelley portrays her idea that creatures are born with good intentions‚ but this innocence is soon snatched away by the gnarled hands of life. The monster‚ when he is first created‚ wanders until he finds a family which he observes intently.
