Throughout Macbeth‚ Lady Macbeth appears in nine scenes‚ seemingly rational and in control of herself‚ although rather obsessed with gender roles in relation to power.

Lady Macbeth believes that her husband would be too afraid to act‚ and uses this to play on his fears: “Art thou afeard/To be the same in thine own act and

Lady Macbeth is the penultimate person in the play‚ especially at the beginning‚ next to Macbeth himself. And though she does not survive to the end‚ her influence on Macbeth lasts throughout. She is most influential person in Macbeth´s downfall‚ next to the witches. However‚ her relationship with him goes far deeper then that of the witches. It is my belief that the witches act only as a trigger to start the events in the play‚ and that Lady Macbeth herself was the driving force behind

the Tennynson’s Lady of Shalott The Lady of Shalott by Alfred‚ Lord Tennynson is a reflection of the Victorians ideas‚ who show how the women was seen in society‚ and as an artist. The poem can be approached from the Carl’s Jung perspective‚ because of the archetypes that can be identified and analyzed‚ namely the Shadow‚ the Anima/Animus‚ and the Self. Of course this is not the only method in analysing the poem‚ but by using this I try to explain what is happening with The Lady from this point

Part One: The overlying message of the Lady Matilda comic is that violence only leads to more violence‚ and‚ furthermore‚ the only way to obtain peace is to show compassion and peaceful behavior. It also suggests that there should be an openness to others ideas‚ because unlikely people can solve critical problems. This point is proven when the king sends Lady Matilda‚ because there is no one left to send and she solves the problem. It is also proven when Lady Matilda’s peaceful approach to the dragon

I can’t deny it any longer. Lady Gaga is‚ against all odds‚ a role model for girls. Lady Gaga takes herself very (very) seriously. When I first listened to interviews of her‚ I was put off by her nasally monotone and unchanging expression. She does not giggle or smile. In short‚ she does not make the interviewer’s job easy. Once I overcame my discomfort‚ I could appreciate what she was saying. In a world where girls speak every statement as a question‚ second guess themselves in class and
