Odysseus not only is King of Ithaca‚ but also the

You can see this when he is fighting Macduff‚ telling him that "You’re wasting your strength. You’d find it just as easy to damage the intangible air with your sword as to make me bleed." (V.VIII.11-13) He doesn’t believe that any

The people of France began to call her “Madame Veto” due to the fact that when King Louis XVI tried to appease the social division of the people of France by proposing reforms to end the worst excess of privilege and to impose a more progressive taxation system the clergy and nobility vetoed it. The people of France blamed it on the Queen for her persuasive ways. She sided with the pessimists of the court that were against compromising with more modest revolutionaries. She was against change in
