When he wrote it, he added Scottish elements to the play.  Apart from being set in Scotland, the two-fold balls and the treble scepters refers to James’ double coronation that took place at Scone and Westminster.  In the play, the two balls symbolize King James’ double insignia that he wore to show his reign over England and Scotland.  The treble scepters were symbols for the kingdoms of England, Scotland and Ireland.  Another symbol is Malcolm’s citation of the scrofula.  This was attributed to James’ belief that his touch could cure.  This was said to have come from Edward the Confessor.  James was a patron of Shakespeare’s plays and Shakespeare added these elements to the play to show his appreciate for the King’s support of his theater company.

Macbeth" relates the story of someone who overthrows the King of Scotland by killing him. This is similar to the Gunpowder Plot of 1605, when there was an attempt made by a group of rebel Catholics to kill King James I and blow up the parliament. In addition, the mention of the witches in Shakespeare's tragedy coincides with James' enthusiasm with the subject of witches.

Another important aspect of "Macbeth" is that it is the only Shakespearean play that is set in Scotland. This helped to legitimize King James' rightful succession to the throne of England, as he was the son of Mary Queen of Scots.

Giver
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

Prompt 1: The society in the Giver, is structured in such a way that promotes security over freedom. The people have no choices or freedom of any kind, yet they don't need to worry about getting enough resources, or basic survival needs because everything is planned out by the government.

Prompt 2: I would say that the attitude toward euthanasia is mostly accepted because that is what is written into the society, and part of your planned out life. However, I think you would need to go back to the text and pay attention to the tone and word choices around that subject.

Explain how the way Charlie’s character changes makes the plot go in a circle. Think about where Charlie starts and where he end
ludmilkaskok [199]

If the character starts and ends in the same place, the plot has gone in a circle.  For example, if Charlie was having problems with his teacher at the beginning of the story, and the story talks about the many weeks he has tried to fix these problems, yet the story ends with him still not resolving these problems, the plot had gone in a circle.  There is not resolution, no ending, no fix.
