Number of words: 998 - Number of pages: 4.... adopted due to uncontrollable sins of human nature. For example, although Napoleon seems at first to be a good leader, he is eventually overcome by greed and soon becomes power-hungry.

Midsummer Nights Dream: Humor
Number of words: 597 - Number of pages: 3.... the meaning correctly. Inferred humor is sometimes more suited for this.
Shakespeare used something like inferred humor to get across some other meanings that added to the play. One good example is the character of Puck. Puck is a hyperactive child that gets into a lot of mischief. His attitude toward his tasks is sort of a light and airy one. He does not take life seriously, he only does what is fun.

Cry The Beloved Country: Book Review
Number of words: 1224 - Number of pages: 5.... discrimination is
at an all time high. The black community of this land is trying to break free
from the white people, but having little success. It is this so called racism
