The start of the play depicts Macbeth as a valiant and courageous character. We are introduced to Macbeth by a Captain‚ who is reporting the events of the battle to King Duncan‚ as he says: “For brave Macbeth - well he deserves that name - Disdaining fortune‚ with his brandished steel‚ Which smoked with bloody execution‚ Like Valour’s minion carved out his passage Till he faced the slave‚ Which ne’er shook hands‚ nor bade farewell to him‚ Till he unseamed him from the nave to th’chaps And fixed his

How does Miller present the character of Abigail in the opening pages of ‘The Crucible’ In the opening lines of the play Abigail is portrayed as a “strikingly beautiful girl” of seventeen. But this does not seem the case as you get further into the act. In fact she is seen to have an extremely ugly heart and only care about herself.

Sir Walter Scott believed that Jews are the same as Christians and used his characters in Ivanhoe to express his views.

During the course of the poems ‘’Singh Song!’’ and ‘’Checking Out Me History’’‚ both personas show a strong link to their cultural heritage through both the content of the poems and the use of nonstandard English to emphasise their accent. The speaker in ‘’Checking out Me History’’ seems to feel irritated that he has been ‘’blind[ed]’’ to his own roots and cultural background‚ using simple rhyme to emphasise the silliness of the white history he’s been taught rather than his own.

Throughout the play Hamlet is seen as a fairly sympathetic character. After all‚ the play starts with us learning that no one seems to understand his grievances even though his father has recently passed. He seems to have been put in an awful situation by his uncle‚ and even his father’s ghost. It seems understandable that a sensitive boy like him would have trouble doing something so dark as murder. But as the play advances our sympathy for Hamlet dwindles until it is non-existent. Once we

Steinbeck implies early on in the novel the views other characters have of
