Forever Swing

... going on around them. Everyone had a different way of dealing with the pain. Some took more of a stand than others, but everyone feared what was surrounding their lives and engulfing their world. In Bettelheim’s essay, “Behavior in Extermination Camps”, we are taught that some of the German’s refused to believe that there actually was a problem.

... the ghost of his father who tells him that his brother, Claudius, the “incestuous beast”(Shakespeare 72) murdered him in the garden.

The Witches Are Responsible For What Happens To Macbeth

... must kill the current king to become king himself. I believe that before hearing the witch's prophecies, Macbeth had never in his wildest dreams thought of killing King Duncan to become king himself.

... "Such I account thy love,"3 accusing him of cowardice "And live a coward"4. She finally convinced him by pointing out how easy it would be " When Duncan is asleep-"5. Macbeth loved his wife very much and valued her opinion, perhaps too much. The last of the major circumstances is simply himself and what he is deep down. Macbeth has no control over the way he is. It is his vaulting ambition that makes him the way he is. This is why I consider it a circumstance where others may not. Macbeth is weak. He gave in to his evil side by even co ...

... save these paintings. I disagree, because these paintings are being admired by so many people and people pay money to see his paintings. Why pay money to see them if it is clear that the paintings did not reveal his talent and hard work as they did before? Seeing how the restorations were done at the end of the video was alot better than the methods of restoring had been. Removing all of the glue and varnish from the past was a good idea and then patching up the areas that needed it and doing it consistantly and using the same style he do ...

When the idea of murdering the king was put forth I know you were hesitant on acting, but I just had to have my ambition fulfilled. So I pushed you and now I realise that my persistence was not in our best interests, and I'm sorry for it. Perhaps if I had left the decision to your judgement we would have been better off. What I did I only did for you. For you to be king, how could I for see that we would be worse off. Just the idea that you would be king " ...
