MacBeth
Number of Words: 817 / Number of Pages: 3
... was the King of England, and was murdered by MacBeth.
He was murdered, because in order for MacBeth to fulfill his plan and
become king, Duncan would have to die. Duncan's fatal flaw was that he was
too trusting. For example, he thought that none of his friends could
really be enemies. If Duncan was more careful about his safety at
MacBeth's castle, he may have had a chance to survive. But Duncan's flaw,
wasn't something so horrible that he should die.
Most people need to trust each other more, and just because one person did,
he shouldn't have to die. MacBeth's former best friend, Banquo was also ...

... more
easily Brutus’s side of the story and accept him and what he did.
Antony begins his speech with an innocent eulogy, but instead incites his
audience into a riot, looking for Brutus's death and wrongfully killing
Cinna the Poet. He does this by appealing to their emotions. Bringing
Caesar's body for everyone to see made them see for themselves the reality
of Caesar's death. Pointing out the stab wounds that the conspirators
inflicted drove them further into anger. He also used a couple of sneaky
tactics to help his mission of revenge. First was the repetition of the
phrase “honorable men,” ...

Number of Words: 621 / Number of Pages: 3
... he would try to kill Snowball. In
the movie, Napoleon, had a bad image already. He had a mean look and shoved his
way in front when Old Major gave his speech. There was also gloomy music when
they had scenes of him. When the book showed of Napoleon as a bad guy, I was
surprised but I expected it in the movie because the movie showed him as a bad
person from the beginning.
Another detail that the movie missed was when all the animals could talk.
In the movie not all the animals could talk. This eliminated many important
things. Beasts of England was hummed when the animals sang it. When they could

Number of Words: 539 / Number of Pages: 2
... Morphine Power Rangers,
cartoons (eventhogh I love them), and the V.R. Troopers, to name a couple.
Surprise! they are either based on fighting or getting smashed by trucks and we
laugh and we love it. It's hard to beat watching someone else beat up on after
you just had a bad day.
Football and hockey, can't beat them but no one really cares about the

football highlights the things they love to show the most are the career ending
tackles usually before they even show the scores, hey who cares about the score
after you jus ...

The Witches Are Responsible For What Happens To Macbeth
Number of Words: 388 / Number of Pages: 2
... again, the
witches put ideas in his head.
Although the witches can be held responsible for the murder of King Duncan,
Lady Macduff and her son, they cannot be held responsible for the murder of
Banquo. The witches only speak of Banquo when Macbeth meets with them for
the second time and Act 4, Scene 1, after Banquo has already been killed.
This murder is the complete responsibility of Macbeth, because the witches
had absolutely nothing to do with it and it was only Macbeth's own
suspicions that brought him to have Banquo killed.
If Macbeth had not taken action to fulfill the witch's prophecies, he ...

... outspoken. Hal and Falstaf could
make fun of each other and call each other names and that wont bother them.
For instance when the prince started calling Falstaf, “This bed-presser,
this horse-back-breaker, this huge hill of flesh”. Then Falstaf came back
by saying, “Sblood, you starveling, you eel-skin, you dried neat's- tongue,
you bull's pizzle, you stock-fish,--O for breath to utter what is like
thee!-you tailor's-yard, you sheath, you bow-case, you vile standing tuck!”

The Reasons Why Macbeth Is More Guilty By His Actions Then Lady Macbeth Is By Hers
Number of Words: 433 / Number of Pages: 2
... the crime, but she never actually went through with it nor
would she ever, and that is all that counts. Talking about committing the
incident is very different from actually doing it. Lady Macbeth did a
little more than just talk about it though. She also urged Macbeth into
doing it and that is what makes her part of this crime, but she is not as
guilty as Macbeth. He really didn't have to listen to what his wife said.
Macbeth had a mind of his own and he could make his own decision. The
other murders that Macbeth was involved in were not committed by him, but
were ordered by him. The people who d ...
