Throughout the course of history documentation of important events and specific individuals has always seen an abundance of attention. Various characters throughout history however, are sometimes painted in a false light due to having characteristics that are either shameful or portray the individual in a different way than the author intends them to be.

The pairs of people that we have gone over this semester are not excluded from this type of documentation. It is my goal of this research paper to examine two pairs of the individuals we have gone over and decide whether or not we could be receiving
