“I understand why the Sofria refuse to have anything to do with the mad creatures,” Tizbeth declared. Tizbeth ambled around the space looking at the jars of slimy pieces of animal parts next to dried flowers. She picked up the remnants of the white and orange candle that Syd used in the transformation spell. Then Tizbeth added, as if she just thought of it, although the thought had been rattling around in her mind since she first mounted, “Donovan likes them.” “Lord Donovan,” Syd corrected. “Humans are funny about titles. It’s a way to spend time with him. And if some of the mostly silly girls master it, you can.” “It is so nice to have people, not just him, which I am looking forward to spending time with. I thought my first order of business …show more content…
Syd wiped them away, then dropped her hands. “I have things I need to set right, and you have a good life to live as long as you can.” “I’m trying.” “Go on, Little One. The other ladies will talk about you if you spend too much time in the dungeon with me.” Tizbeth left the workshop and found the Lord waiting for her outside her quarters to inquire about what she thought about the ride, a pink wildflower in his hand. Tizbeth, as Lady Dominique, continued her learning and planning of her life. Although she tried to flirt when a few of the squires came through, the words stuck in her throat. Her heart fluttered every time Donovan sought her out, even as other women threw themselves at him. Lord Donovan ignored any woman that approached him first. Tizbeth, on the other hand, most often could be found behind Ann.
On one walk to the night garden, Lord Donovan shared the stories of the globes in the trees. “I always wanted to work with glass,” she said staring up. “That is men’s work,” Donovan said, ready to dismiss the idea. “Making pretty things?” Lord Donovan thought about that. “Pretty things, huh? That is woman’s work. We could go watch the blacksmith at the forge work and see if there was anything you could
Macbeth rejects conformation to traditional gender roles in its portrayal of Lady Macbeth’s relationship with her husband, her morals and their effect on her actions, and her hunger for power. Her regard for Macbeth is one of low respect and beratement, an uncommon and most likely socially unacceptable attitude for a wife to have towards her spouse at the time. She often ignores morality and acts for the benefit of her husband, and subsequently herself. She is also very power-hungry and lets nothing stand in the way of her success. Lady Macbeth was a character which challenged expectations of women and feminism when it was written in the seventeenth century.

“Come down here on the floor with him.” She pats the spot next to her. I shake my head, comfortable where I am on the couch, a safe distance away. “You’re going to have to engage,” she says. “If you want to be able to do this after I leave.”
later on he will become King. Banquo is told that he will never become King,
Corrupt according to Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary means “to change from good to bad in morals, manners, or actions ” (Corrupt). This definition epitomizes exactly what Macbeth evolves into throughout this work with the influence of the witches. The witches in this piece symbolize the evil found in human nature and how it can affect man in many ways. This symbolization is further enforced by the overall theme of choice. A choice always has two sides, for if it did not, then it in fact would not be a choice. There is always a good side and a bad side to everything, a right and wrong. Macbeth, the protagonist, is faced with many choices throughout
Macbeth by William Shakespeare is about a Scottish solider named Macbeth who is respected and honored for his bravery. Macbeth learns from three witches that he will become king, which causes a spark of desire in him. With his wife fueling the fire, Macbeth becomes king and drunk with power. He murders many innocent people, including Macduff’s wife and children. This causes Macduff to rise against Macbeth and kill him to bring peace back to the kingdom. From a psychological view Macbeth’s psyche and fall from power are influenced by his wife, Lady Macbeth, in her quest for power.
William Shakespeare’s play Macbeth, written in the 1600’s is a perfect example of Shakespeare’s ability to manipulate his audience through creating a tragic hero. A tragic hero who, because of a flaw, tumbles from a well-respected hero to a cowardless murderer. It is through Shakespeare’s manipulation of figurative language, dramatic conventions and social expectations of the seventeenth century, do the audience witness the demise of this mixed up man. Macbeth’s persona of the tragic hero is enhanced even more when the characters around him influence his decisions, creating mayhem inside his mind and disorder throughout Scotland. Shakespeare positions his audience to respond to the central theme: the struggle between good and evil, by illustrating to the audience his weaknesses, which through the guidance of the supernatural, leads to murder and mayhem and eventually madness. It is this influence of the supernatural that leads to Macbeth’s tragic persona and in turn his physical and mental destruction. Shakespeare utilises these techniques to embody in Macbeth characteristics indicative of that of a seventeenth century tragic hero.
Manipulative, ambitious, strong, ruthless, and powerful all describes the grotesque character of Lady Macbeth. She cares for no man and does what she wants, to whom she wants, with no hesitation. Lady Macbeth plays the role of the male in the relationship and takes nothing but what she expects. Lady Macbeth is the initial force that makes this entire play move forward. Her inner ruthless and cunning ways makes her reveal her absolute madness and her being the true villain that she is that would make her do the destructive things. In The Tragedy of Macbeth, Lady Macbeth is the driving force of all the chaos in Macbeth’s life. She is the backbone for all the betrayal , values power over human life, and she is not very supportive of her husband when everything is all said and done.
The character of Macbeth was a classic example of a tragic hero. Though many factors contributed to the degeneration of Macbeth, the one that stuck out most was his uncontrollable urge to attain and retain power. His over ambitious desire to acquire power was let loose by the witches, with their prophecies of Macbeth becoming the Thane of Glamis, Thane of Cawdor, and King of Scotland. At first Macbeth replied that such foreshadowing couldn't be taken seriously, because of the evil forces that lay behind them. However, when Macbeth was declared Thane of Cawdor, almost immediately after the witches' prophecies, he had private thoughts and ambitions that he could become King of Scotland. In an instant the witches had let loose Macbeth's over ambitious nature for imperial power. (An aside in I.iii.127-130 is a perfect example)
“So Lex, that was the lawyer. I can’t believe you were going to let me have everything. And all so you could be free. Or should I say free to be with someone else. Donovan Micklos? Interesting choice. I’ve heard of him. He is a swinger, a bi sexual swinger, at that. Is that something you are willing to do? A secret fantasy of yours?” He laughs, thinking he just gave her damning information about Donovan.
"So, about that bedtime story," Cas teased. He was the official 'Bedtime story King' as Beatrice put it.
It made me grin knowing she took her role as bodyguard so seriously. In fact, both of my women seemed overly zealous to me. To the left of the anteroom it let onto a hallway leading passed a number of closed doors and to a servant’s passageway. Our guide took us to our right, passed a grand stairway made of oak. We could hear somewhere in the big house, it was literally overflowing with people. So it didn’t surprise us to see a crowd in a great hall, after walking down the ante-hallway with the butler. Well-dressed merchants and women in fine clothes chatted away at each other among the empty trestle tables. The majority of the guests were just standing around the well lite room. Several male servants wearing black uniforms were passing out full wine
“I apologize again, but I am Demetrius,” he introduced while gesturing to shake his hand.
“Based on what you have told us, I think you will fit in here, just fine.”
“Yes, I agree, most strange. Please, you must introduce me to him, he sounds a divine person to meet,” Alison said smiling.
