... should become king. Lady Macbeth followed through
with this idea by pushing Macbeth to kill Duncan. "... a very definition of the
weird sisters - calling on them to unsex her to cram her with cruelty from top
to toe..." (Bloom 29). This quote illustrates the connection between Lady
Macbeth and the witches, showing us that they both participated in Macbeth's
moral decline. Shakespeare, it seems, utilizes the symbol of the witches to
portray the basic evil inherent in Lady Macbeth. One could not have worked

... show. Each day as I watch this show, learning every lesson they throw at me, and swallowing it up into my brain never forgetting it. The desire for me to learn from this show is quite intense and astonishing; it is like going to school everyday and acquiring the knowledge I need to know. Even though, this show proves to be brain food that I need daily, seeing the show in one thing, but going deeper then just the show itself. I mean seriously listening to what the actors say and how they perform in the show tells someone loads of vital information. So this show attracts me in a highly urgent way in asse ...

... many people's views.
The 54th regiment was incorporated because people thought it would only
be fitting that blacks be able to fight for their own freedom. The problem was
that the blacks were still thought of as inferior individuals. This is why it
took so long for a black regiment to come into existence. A good example of
the racism that was still existent in the north is when the 54th met the white
regiment coming back and were called "nigger"s and were taunted. Another good
example was that Blacks were not allowed to go to military academies, and that
is why the regiment was led by whit ...
