Although some say that Madeline is a counterpart of Roderick‚ she is a manifestation of a supernatural entity set out to destroy the unnatural lineage by exploiting Roderick’s one sided and intellectual state. The exploitation can be proven throughout the story through the comparison of the natural‚ supernatural‚ and mental aspects of "The Fall of the House of Usher". The natural aspect is found in the essential qualities or characteristics by which

“The final act of The Tempest does not deliver a satisfactory ending.” How far do you agree with this assessment of the play? One way in which The Tempest ending is satisfactory is the marriage of Ferdinand and Miranda as at the time the play was written‚ marriage and reproduction was one of the most important factors in a persons life.
