    Macbeth: The Most Evil Character in British Literature? Throughout Shakespeare’s tale‚ Macbeth‚ the character Macbeth changed drastically. His actions at beginning suggest that he has become more evil as the story goes on. Macbeth is no longer influenced by other characters. Some would say the opposite; however‚ the evidence in the text proves otherwise. Early on in the story‚ Macbeth had an internal battle with his conscience (1.7). He was planning to murder King

    every book there are always different characters that are distinguished by their personalities. Thus‚ it couldn’t be different with the novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald The Great Gatsby‚ throughout the story the narrator Nick Carraway reveals the personality of each character through their actions without judging them directly. Many characters from the novel caught my attention because of their actions‚ especially Jay Gatsby and Tom Buchanan. Two characters with totally opposite personalities

    The most admirable character in The Crucible in my opinion was John Proctor. He was admirable because of the way he stood up to his past failures that he had done in his life. He stood up for what was right and didn’t care what the consequences were for his actions. For instance he went and testified to the court to try and free his innocent wife. He also was willing to face the punishment of adultery to help free the innocent. He too was willing to wreak his reputation for the good of the town.

    In this essay I will be talking about who I think the most despicable character is and what the larger message or theme that Miller is sending through the character. In The Crucible I believe that Abigail is the most despicable character. From the very beginning of the story Abigail was lying to Parris about what the girls were doing in the woods. Her lying in the beginning wasn’t setting herself up to be a very good person. Abigail then tells Hale that she has compacted with the Devil‚ but

Although it may seem that the main theme is about the dominance‚ gruesomeness‚ and destruction of Troy when the poem is first read‚ this is not the main focus. It is in The Iliad‚ that we see how Achilles transforms from youth to maturity; and grows through undergoing permanent and fundamental personality changes from a ferocious warrior
