Motifs Of Birds In Macbeth
Number of words: 469 - Number of pages: 2.... talks to Ross the day after Duncan was killed. The death of Duncan is a perverted act, just as the death of the falcon is considered unnatural.

Movie: The Fan

and a die-hard for the game. This crazy man just wants credit for giving a Barry
Bonds-like player ( Wesley Snipes ) his number back. Unfortunately, the ‘fan'
gives Wesley his number back by killing the player who occupied the number
before him. When the baseball player's son is kidnapped by the disillusioned man,

a move to open fire, the police gunned him down right on the ball field.
My attitude toward this hostile man was that he was very baneful and my
heart was lifted of many worries when he was .....

Yet, after speaking with Lady he recants and proclaims,"I am settled, and bend up/Each corporal agent to this terrible feat"(I.vii.79-80). There is nothing supernatural to be found in a man being swayed by the woman he loves, as a matter of fact this action could be perceived as quite the opposite. Second, the witches have to be dispelled as a source of 's misfortune before the latter theory can be considered. It is admittedly strange that the weird sisters first address with,"All hail, ! hail to thee Thane of Cawdor!"(I.iii.49), a title which not even is aware he h .....
