Macbeth: Imagery of Animal Behavior and Class Status Advances
In Macbeth, the imagery of animals behavior and class status advances the theme of animals in relation to human characteristics. The examples discussed in my paper will make it quite clear that this imagery is evident, throughout the play.
In Act 1 sc. 3 line 8, the first witch chants and says that the sailor is the master of the Tiger. The witch is comparing the man to a Tiger. The tiger is a very good animal and is near the top of the Elizabethan World Picture.
Hence the man is good. Furthermore the witch say's that she herself is like a rat without a tail. Thus she is missing something important. The witch is incomplete, just like the rat. Furthermore I believe she is hiding something because when you are missing something you are apt to be very self conscious and hide it. In addition the rat is veer low on the chain of being.
The next passage is Act 1 sc. 7 line 49. In this passage Lady Macbeth is quoted saying “like the poor cat I ‘th' adage” (1, vii., 49). That means “ the cat who eats fish but will not get his feet wet ” (Folgers, p 40). Lady
Macbeth is telling Macbeth that he is like the cat because he wants to become king but he won't get his hands bloody. However Lady Macbeth would find someone else to get their feet wet, someone to do her dirty work.
In act 2 scene 4 line 15, the old man and Ross talk about the recent murder. The old man says that the killer, an owl made sure no one was looking and attacked the falcon and killed it. The owl, lower then the falcon on the chain of being usually eats mice, which is low on the hierarchy. But this time the owl eats the falcon whom is usually on the top of the hierarchy.
Later in the play during act 3 Macbeth talks bout the list of dogs and the list of men. On line 140 in sc.1 Macbeth compares the murders with the lowliest of dogs. In the next act, Act 4 three witches use very lowly animals to describe Macbeths kingship. In sc. 1 lines 1-30 the witches say that
Robert Kennedy was determined to keep Monroe quiet so the information he and John revealed to her during their affairs would was not revealed, and he did not care about the consequences. According to Jay Margolis author of Marilyn Monroe: A Case for Murder, Robert was even reported to have threatened Monroe around the time of her death he stated that “If you threaten me, Marilyn, there’s more than one way to keep you quiet” (229), this proves that Robert Kennedy had motive and the means to kill her if it came down to it. The autopsy report also rules out suicide as an option for her cause of death. The report stated that there were no traces of the pills in her stomach she supposedly overdosed and there was nothing to drink in the room, with no signs of vomiting which is common during an overdose. This also eliminates the fact that she accidentally overdosed as an option because the levels of drugs found in her blood were several times over the legal limit. This suggests that she did not give herself that many pills because she would have passed out before she could have ingested that much. Monroe’s autopsy report revealed that her stomach was almost completely empty except for a small amount of fluid (“Marilyn Monroe Autopsy Report”). The report also revealed that there was no evidence of pill residue anywhere in her digestive system and the fact that there was no physical evidence in the room that any pills had been ingested, prove that Monroe did not commit suicide but she was actually

Macbeth, a play written by William Shakespeare, portrays Macbeth as a kinsman, subject and trusted friend to King Duncan I of Scotland. A trusted friend, that is, until Macbeth has a chance encounter with the “three witches” (Shakespeare) or the “Weird Sisters”. The witches predict that Macbeth will become the next King and that his fellow companion, Banquo, will be the father of a line of kings. A change comes over Macbeth after his meeting; he is no longer content to be a follower of the King, he will “be” King at any cost. After killing the King and his friend Banquo, losing his wife to madness and ordering the execution of many, Macbeth is killed in much the same fashion as he has killed. But does this really reflect the real King MacBeth of Scotland? While examining the characteristics and actions of the two Macbeths and decide if Shakespeare’s writing was historically sound or was it just “double, double, toil and trouble” (4.1.22-26) playing with MacBeth’s character.
In a highly respected profession such as nursing, professionalism is an important element to staying employed and setting one’s self apart from the rest of the applicants when competing for a potential job. By definition professionalism are the qualities and traits that describe a professional. While knowledge is crucial in any profession, according to an article published by the University of Kansas (2012), “all medical professionals must strive to retain those humanistic qualities integrity, respect, and compassion that constitute the essence of professionalism.” Whether you work in a hospital or administration these three qualities encompass the core of nursing and exemplify what it means to be a professional.
Prior to entering the professional role of nursing, a nurse should also determine the principals and personal values that will guide their nursing practice. Personal values, past experiences, and influences of other nurses are what attract many to the profession of nursing. Nurses have a profound impact on the lives of their patients, their families, and the community. Nursing is a constant process of building a prevalent knowledge base while maintaining a sense of compassion and empathy for those during a time of need. Nursing is more than a career, it is an art form that is continuously being molded by personal experiences and the gain of knowledge; what we do with it is that defines us as nurses.
Even though she has been deceased for more than fifty years, people today still are interested in Marilyn Monroe's childhood, love stories, and whether she died by suicide or not. ...
It is through this identity that enables one to be recognized in the community and among other professions. However, the process of getting professional identity should be through an ideal way keeping in mind all the legal issues involved in the process. One undergoes through the process of education where he or she gains knowledge and skills in the field. He or she adheres to the rules and regulations that dictate the profession. Keeping all these requirements expected from the profession enables a registered nurse to gain a professional identity thus able to associate with other health care members and become recognized in the
Nursing is a career often based off of being critical thinkers, having great communication skills, and showing empathy through their care. One important characteristic that is frequently overlooked, although it is one of the most important components of being a nurse, is professionalism. So many different aspects fall under the definition of professionalism when it comes to upholding the duties of a nurse. These qualities can range from just looking the part, to the way a nurse communicates with their patients and those involved in the patient’s care. With all things considered, I will explain just how important professionalism is on the basis of ethics, professional behaviors, how nurses serve a global community, and diversity.

A myriad of challenges are faced in healthcare today. From over-crowding and long waiting lists to staff shortages which have knock on effects resulting in inadequate skills mix and unacceptable nurse-patient ratios. An aging population, high birth rates and an increase in chronic diseases also puts pressure on the healthcare system. The nursing role has had to evolve in response to changing societal needs and the challenges in the healthcare system today. (McCurry et al. 2009). This can bring additional challenges to nurses’ professional identity. ??
This paper is going to reflect my thoughts on nursing as a profession and why I think the different aspects of nursing are so important. The purpose of the content in this paper is to give the reader a straightforward view on nursing and the different components of what makes up a nurse. I will do this through analyzing the theory of nursing created by theorist Jean Watson. Her ideas about nursing and mine flow so well together and the similarities are noted throughout the paper.
