Role of the First Lady Vibe magazine stated that‚ “Michelle Obama delivered one of the most poignant speeches in recent political history at the Democratic National Convention.” With all the attention placed on the office of the president sometimes we forget about the role and effect of the first lady.

Lady Macbeth’s Masculinity In the play‚ “Macbeth” by Shakespeare‚ the women are the darkest characters. Lady Macbeth plays the opposite gender role as a woman.

Her masculinity stands out‚ because in the play she wishes to be a man‚ she manipulates Macbeth to commit murder‚ and she believes Macbeth is womanly‚ unlike herself. In the play Lady Macbeth wishes

You see‚ it all truly began the night before when the King told his daughter‚ the princess‚ what would happen to her lever the next day. As the princess was dosing off that night worrying about what the future had in store and contemplating which she hoped would come out of the door‚ the lady or the tiger‚

The Portrait of a Lady by Henry James Apparently the fiction of Henry James appears to be about people at the center of high society.

LADY MACBETH HAS BEEN DESCRIBED AS A FOURTH WITCH. DO YOU CONSIDER THIS TO BE FAIR JUDGEMENT? I disagree with the statement that Lady Macbeth is a fourth witch.
