Antigone: Afterlife
Number of words: 1329 - Number of pages: 5.... sure the Greeks would have considered us to be heathens and put us to death for our ways and beliefs.I think Antigone thought her act was courageous and valid. I myself would not have risked my life to ensure a proper burial for anyone, whether it was in modern times or back then.To go against authority and break the laws given by the monarch was a plain senseless act.

their institutions, and their values (Comstock 357).

extent that it prepares them to cope with reality. Conflict is important for

Number of words: 875 - Number of pages: 4.... existance, it is so cleverly
delivered to Roderigo that he takes as a fact, even when the facts show
otherwise. Iago controls Emilia through her love that she has for him. He uses

manipulated by suggestion and hints that are carefully worded and said at just
the right moment. Each one weakens his faith in Desdemona a little more. Then

Macbeth: Macbeth's Decent Into Hell
Number of words: 609 - Number of pages: 3.... for
treason so Macbeth hires three hitmen to kill Banquo which they did successfully
also at the same time the third assassin killed the other two assassin's.

killing them.
Macbeth went to the witches for a n .....
