I understand why you are torn when comes to gerrymandering‚ but for me I don’t think it’s fair. As the the definition of gerrymandering it is “redistricting to benefit a particular group”.

Even if the states gets redistricting in a weird way and it doesn’t make sense by looking at the map‚ as long as the district ends up with equal population. I don’t think the way it’s proportioned to make

the reader and Miss Ophelia directly influences her ability to criticize this character. Miss Ophelia being the only character to have any development is a way to curry favor with all the Northern women who were reading it at the time who were insulted. Stowe making Miss Ophelia more sympathetic at the end of the novel is a way to say to the readers ’if you think slavery is wrong and want to change it then you are a good Christian‚ if you don’t then you aren’t’. Miss Ophelia is portrayed not as racist

Shakespeare’s Ophelia is a complex character in her own right. She is controlled by her male relatives and isn’t set free truly till madness sets in. She is loved like a daughter by Queen Gertrude‚ first loved and then abused by Hamlet and above all used as a bargaining tool by Laertes and Polonius. In Shakespeare’s time the way her father and others treated her wouldn’t have been uncommon and the shock would have come from her bawdy behaviour when she went mad whereas a modern audience would

Don’t Deny Destiny Question 11: What role does fate play in Romeo and Juliet? Shakespeare refers to Romeo and Juliet as “star-crossed lovers.” We can not deny the fact that they are ‘destined to be together‚’ it is just something that the reader must accept. Fate is inevitable throughout the whole play; Shakespeare never gives readers an explanation as to why there is a feud between the Capulets and the Montagues‚ it is rather an undeniable aspect of the world of the play.
