The William Shakespeare play ³Macbeth,² depicted Macbeth as a loyal subject of King Duncan and his homeland of Scotland. Duncan was so pleased with Macbeth¹s actions during the war that he was named the Thane of Cawdor, a title not far from king. Soon after, he wrote a letter to his wife that would make his future blood stained. Macbeth told her about the possibility of becoming king and in-turn hooked her on the idea. She then did everything in her power to give Macbeth the crown of Scotland. Duncan¹s gratitude for the deeds of Macbeth were displayed when Duncan announced, ³Would thou hadst less deserved, that the proportion both of thanks and payment might have been mine! Only I have left to say, more is thy due than more than all can pay. (p.34)² The last sentence of his quote said that he deserved more than everyone could have given him. Duncan¹s thankfulness resulted in raising the title of Macbeth from Thane of Glamis to that of Cawdor. Only one title then separated him from being next in line to the throne, the Prince of Cumberland. Macbeth could not help but notice how close he was to being king and hinted his ambition to have the title in his letter to Lady Macbeth. He wrote, ³...came missives from the King, who all-hailed me Thane of Cawdor, by which title, before, these weyard sisters saluted me, and referred me to the coming on of time with ŒHail, King that shalt be!² Since the witches had predicted Macbeth gaining Thane of Cawdor, he believed they might be right about him replacing Duncan, as the letter continues, ³This have I thought good to deliver thee, my dearest partner of greatness, that thou mightst not lose the dues of rejoicing by being ignorant of what greatness is promised thee. Lay it to heart, and farewell. (p.35-36)² This passage also portrays Macbeth¹s trust in his wife when he addresses her as, ³...my dearest partner of greatness,...² His trust in Lady Macbeth later allowed her to convince him to murder Duncan. Macbeth believed her when she said, ³We fail? But screw your courage to the sticking place and we¹ll not fail, (p. 42)² which confirmed the deal. Immediately after Lady Macbeth reads the letter from her husband, the idea of their royalty sets in. She says, ³Glamis thou art, and Cawdor, and shalt be what thou art promised.
Once on board the San Dominick, to step in and save it from “distress,” the American mariner Amasa Delano “assured [Cereno and the pitiful Spanish crew and black slaves] of his [American] sympathies...with...all the...pumpkins on [Delano’s ship]...and a dozen bottles of..cider.” Diplomatically, Delano made inroads with the San Dominick’s Spanish and African passengers to find out information about the ship’s cargo and destination. Through such inquiries, Delano sought to incorporate both Spaniards and slaves into the American calculus of “cleaning up” the Spanish “messes” left after Haiti and the Napoleonic Wars. Out of fear for potential chaos, Delano acted hospitably to quell the possibility of another Spanish or slave mutiny. Seeing that the white European captain had capitulated to the slaves onboard, Delano seized his liberty to take charge of the ship as a leading white man, reconfiguring patriarchy as an opportunistic American
What is encryption? Encryption is a technological technique that protects and secures the transfer of plain text information between two sources through the use of the internet. This is done by rearranging the text using a mathematical algorithm that renovates the message into an indecipherable form, which can only be unlocked and translated with a use of a key. The strength of the encryption key is measured by its length, which is determined by the number of bits and by the type of encryption program.
Ever since the beginning of Act 1 and Macbeth was told he is now the Thane of Cawdor, which brings fire to his ambition towards the prophecies. He has achieved two parts of the prophecies, so he is not far from fulfilling it. Since he is not far he begins to think about being King and ambition begins to boil. Of course there is the person who completed his ambition to kill Duncan, who is lady Macbeth. “ O, never shall sun that marrow see! Tour face, my thane, is as a book where men may read strange matters, to beguile the time, look like the time; bear welcome in your eye, your hand, your tongue; look like th’ innocent flower, but be the serpent under t’. He that’s coming must be provided for: and you shall put the night’s great business into my dispatch which shall to all our nights and days to come give solely sovereign sway and masterdom.” (Act 1, Scene 5, Lines 60-70). Lady Macbeth is telling her husband that he is going to kill the king, she fuels his ambition. Her and her husbands reason is wrought because of the ambition and greed for
Until his death, King Duncan was misled by Macbeth’s false loyalty. When the Thane of Cawdor had been found guilty of being a traitor and was hanged, King Duncan thought so highly of Macbeth, that he gave the title to him. The Thane then ironically dies with pride while Macbeth dies a foe of Scotland. The King was under the impression that Macbeth was a loyal and brave soldier, calling him “O worthiest cousin” (1/4/14), but Macbeth was actually already planning to kill the King, “whose murder yet is but fantastical” (1/3/139). Even when Duncan goes to visit Macbeth, he praises the castle’s pleasant environment and hospitality, “This castle hath a pleasant seat” (1/5/1), but is totally unaware of Macbeth’s plans to murder him.
Through the chronicles of history there have always been heroes. Men and women that stand up and take charge and are moral leaders of countries. Joan of Arc, Napoleon, Genghis Khan and Churchill are only a few examples of people that are remember eternally for what they have done. There are also other leaders that people would like to forget because they are moral cowards killing their subject and causing evil. Stalin, Fidel Castro, and the Character of Macbeth are all examples of this. Macbeth is a moral coward. During the play Macbeth often shows that he is morale coward. For instance, when he is planning Duncan’s murder. Likewise he also shows cowardice by killing Banquo. Lastly he shows how spineless he is when he orders Macduffs family to be murdered.
Communication is a vital component of everyday relationships in all of mankind. In plays, there are many usual staging and dialogue techniques that directors use to achieve the attention of the audience. However, in the play, “Post-its (Notes on a Marriage)”, the authors Paul Dooley and Winnie Holzman use both staging and conversation in order to convey the struggles of modern relationships. The play is unconventional in how it attempts to have the audience react in a unique way. The authors use staging and conversation to portray to the audience that there are complex problems with communication in modern relationships.

Within the pages of the play Macbeth, one can find the five distinct literary devices of symbolism, allusion, alliteration, personification, and repetition used throughout. These three devices aid the story along and help develop the plot and characters each in a different way.
Firstly, he defeats his enemies. Next he is praised by the other soldiers and King Duncan appoints him as the Thane. For example, if a person desires for a manager title, the person will work hard to earn it, and it is possible that other workers will see this and boost the chief individual’s desire. It is from here that the person might think they deserve the title and look for more power. Similarly, Macbeth must have thought somewhere in his mind to be king. In the book Witches’ Caldron: a study of motive in Shakespeare’s Macbeth Dr. K.C. Mathur says that although the witches did prophesy he would be king and even boosted his desire “They did not create the thought of murder of King Duncan. It was Macbeth’s own latent ambition embodying his power drive and seeking affirmation that invites the witches.” (Witches Caldron, 6) Dr. Mathur also says “Macbeth had acquired this status and it is not surprising that he thinks of achieving higher status by being aggressive and domineering. It is this psychological impulse that is projected in his ambition for the crown and not any criminal instinct or latent evil.” (6) There was a negative environment of witches and the association of Lady Macbeth around Macbeth which influenced him to murder. The environment creates a huge part in the play and if he had a good environment it is possible that he would have remained loyal to King
Seeking for greater power, Macbeth murders Duncan who is the king at that time, which caused a great pain for the kingdom. Duncan is a great king, but just not a so good human reader. He has never been aware of Macbeth. He never have a thought that Macbeth might be a danger, who is willing to kill him for the throne. On the other hand, Macbeth does not accept to be just a general for the rest of his life. He wants a greater power, higher position than he is having at the time. Because of the suggests from the trio witches: “ All hail, Macbeth! Hail to thee, Thane of Cawdor!/ All hail, Macbeth, that shalt be king hereafter!”(1.2.49-50), Macbeth has the thinking about killing the king to take his throne. By calling Macbeth the Thane of Cawdor, they give Macbeth the thought that being a king is his fate. On the night Macbeth is planning to murder Duncan, the Old Man see many strange events: “And Duncan’s horses (a thing most strange and certain),/ Beauteous and swift, the minions of their race, /Turned wild in nature, broke their stalls, flung out/ Contending ‘gainst obedience, as they would/ Make war with mankind” (2.4.14-18). It creates a scary feeling in the kingdom, and means something bad will happen to the kingdom.
King Duncan trusts Macbeth too much. Macbeth appears as a superhero and faithful to King Duncan. He fights against the traitor Macdonwald, and he helps the king to solve a great problem that wins the war. Duncan trusts Macbeth very much because of Macbeth’s heroic efforts and he gives Macbeth the title “Thane of Cawdor”. In actuality, Macbeth is not as faithful to the king as he appears. He has the ambition to become king after hearing the prophecies from the three witches. After Macbeth returns to his castle, he makes plans with Lady Macbeth to kill Duncan when he comes to visit. As soon as Duncan arrives, he says something very important. Duncan says, “This castle hath a pleasant seat; the air/ Nimbly and sweetly recommends itself/ Unto our gentle senses” (I.vi.1-3). This quote shows that Duncan, like Macbeth, even feels that Macbeth’s place is comfortable for him. Duncan never suspects the trustworthiness of Macbeth and never does anything to guard himself. Macbeth kills Duncan easily. Therefore MacBeth’s appearance deceives Duncan.
Shakespeare engages the audience's sympathy at the beginning of the play for Macbeth by revealing the positive way in which he is perceived by others. Macbeth is deeply lauded, and very highly thought of by King Duncan, who then ironically awards Macbeth with the title "Thane of Cawdor". The irony here is that the last Thane of Cawdor was a traitor as he will soon be, too. Macbeth's kindness at the beginning of the play interferes with the murder of Duncan as Lady Macbeth also mentions in her soliloquy that Macbeth...
With the increase of digital communications and transactions, a stronger level of security is required to protect the user and their data transactions. Systems, servers, personal computers, mobile devices, tokens and smart cards are all being used ubiquitously to view protected communications. With the influx of data management, there is an ever-apparent contest between the two adversaries in the game of Information Security: the developers and the hackers. PKI was designed to leverage the Internet infrastructure for communications (CITE Samuelle 2009). While minimizing hostile exploitation of data, decreasing data theft, and providing an additional layer of trust through keys pairs and digital certificates, PKI is used to verify the identity of the user and the authenticity of the data.
Macbeth and his wife have a strong relationship of trust and love as seen in the letter he sends to Lady Macbeth, where he calls her is “dearest partner of greatness.” Macbeth’s encounter with the witches accelerates his deep “vaulting ambition” to be King, with the strong influence from his wife, which leads him to eventually betray King Duncan. After the first prediction of being Thane of Cawdor comes true the “horrid image” of the murder of King Duncan in order for him to become King crosses his mind. When told that he is going to be King of Scotland, Macbeth does whatever he can to ensure that this prediction comes true. It is clear that Macbeth is fascinated with the thought of him being King.
