    Was Lady Macbeth 'Evil'?

    • 2952 Words
    • 12 Pages

    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

    Hi everyone. Today’s debate is women are too preoccupied by beauty. As an introduction‚ I’d say that: In the actual world‚ there is still a pressure for women to be perfect‚ magazines tell them how to be‚ the society is based on these flawless pictures of women. There’s a tendency to highlight the natural beauty‚ and women just throw their money into beauty products and surgery. Women throw their money into diets too and some women have been preoccupied by their beauty since their childhood;

    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

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
