BTW MY SIS WROTE THIS
Probably not. Ambition, at the time of the play, was not taken in good light, obviously because it ruined the Great Chain of Being. Those in the chain were meant to stay in their place. What Macbeth and Lady Macbeth did were gravely wrong as they tried to get ahead and take the place of Duncan, which explains the constant unusual weather throughout the play.

Macbeth, only after constant badgering, antagonizing, and plotting from Lady Macbeth, could perform the murder. If you remember, when going to kill Duncan, what appeared in the hands of Macbeth was an imaginary dagger. What I have concluded about this scene (and I've certainly struggled over it) is that the dagger could be portrayed as a manifestation of his guilt. As he grapples in a soliloquy heading over to Duncan's room, the bloody dagger represents his wrongful ambition.

<span>The manifestation of his guilt is also represented after he kills Banquo. He says an extremely striking line to one of the murderers right after. </span>

<span>MACBETH
(aside to FIRST MURDERER) There’s blood upon thy face.

FIRST MURDERER
'Tis Banquo’s then.

MACBETH
'Tis better thee without than he within.
</span>
<span>What Macbeth is saying is that the blood of Banquo is better on the murderer's face then within Banquo's veins. We see a sudden twist in Macbeth's intentions and personality showing his character development and change throughout the play. But alas, his initial guilt comes to light when he suddenly is the only one who can see Banquo's ghost at the dinner table. Yes, another manifestation of his guilt. </span>

<span>We see that no matter how many murders he commits, he will always be human and feel guilty for his actions. The turning point in all this, is actually Lady Macbeth, not even the witches. Without the constant persuasion of Lady Macbeth to push Macbeth to the character he became, he wouldn't have committed any murders. </span>

<span>Another point to make is that when Banquo and Macbeth first received the prophecy from the witches, one can say that Banquo was more ambitious than Macbeth. He says to himself, </span>

<span>MACBETH
(aside) If chance will have me king, why, chance may crown me
Without my stir.
</span>
<span>If fate puts kingship in my lap, only then I will take it. </span>

<span>If Lady Macbeth was your stereotypical wife, not a crazy psychopath, Macbeth probably would not have killed Duncan, and subsequently Banquo. Therefore I would blame Lady Macbeth, not particularly the three witches.</span>

A flat character is a character that is very predictable based on his fixed role in a story.

A round character on the other hand is one that is interesting as his role is dynamic

A dynamic character is the type of character that is unpredictable based on his ever-changing roles in a story.

A static character is one that does not change because he has a limited role to play.

<h3>What is a Round Character?</h3>

What are two examples of indirect and direct characterization in “The Doll’s House” by Katherine Mansfield? Explain. PLEASE HELP
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

short story about the unfairness of social classicism, "The Doll's House", features as main characters two poor and socially disenfranchised little sisters, named Lil Kelvey and Else Kelvey. These girls are the daughters of Mrs. Kelvey, presumably a washer woman, and an unnamed father who is in prison.

As their foils, there are the secondary characters who are the owners of the dollhouse; three rich young ladies named Isabel, Lottie and Kezia Burnell. They, as well as the rest of the other children, would stay away from the Kelvey's, as they were considered to be bottom-feeders.

Other characters in the story that are mentioned include Mrs. Hay, who is the lady visitor who sends the doll house as a "thank you" gift to the Burnell sisters. There is "the carter" and "Pat", who carried the huge dollhouse inside, so we can assume that Pat was a servant.

Then we learn about Aunt Beryl, who is the haughty aunt of the three sisters, and who lives with the girls.

The rest are filler characters which interact with the main and secondary characters but some of them have a name. There is the girls' unnamed teacher who seems as classicist as the rest of the society of the school. There is also a Ms. Lecky, for instance, who is identified as the postmistress. Last, but not least, are the two chosen girls who were to be the firsts to see the dollhouse at the Burnell's house, Emmie Cole and Lena Logan. Lena is also the girl who laughs at Lil Kelvey asking her if she is going to be a servant when she grows up.

Write one paragraph to compare and contrast how the two texts by Sonia Nazario present similar ideas but in different genres. In
omeli [17]

Answer:

Both the editorial and the biography support the author’s purpose of drawing attention to the plight of refugees. The two pieces work to create emotions in the reader and empathy for Enrique and other young migrants from Central America. However, the author uses different approaches in each text. The editorial includes words with strong connotations to persuade readers. In this text, the author works to convince readers the United States should change its refugee policy. On the other hand, the biography relies on narrative techniques and figurative language. The author uses setting, characterization, and personification to educate readers on the topic.
