The poet described about the kill of the Element is given below.

Explanation:

In the 1920s a young would-be poet, an ex-Etonian named Eric Blair, arrived as a Burma Police recruit and was posted to several places, culminating in Moulmein. Here he was accused of killing a timber company elephant, the chief of police saying he was a disgrace to Eton. Blair resigned while back in England on leave, and published several books under his assumed name, George Orwell.

In 1936 these were followed by what he called a “sketch” describing how, and more importantly why, he had killed a runaway elephant during his time in Moulmein, today known as Mawlamyine. By this time Orwell was highly regarded, and many were reluctant to accept that he had indeed killed an elephant. Six years later, however, a cashiered Burma Police captain named Herbert Robinson published a memoir in which he reported young Eric Blair (whom he called “the poet”) as saying back in the 1920s that he wanted to kill an elephant.

All the same, doubt has persisted among Orwell’s biographers. Neither Bernard Crick nor DJ Taylor believe he killed an elephant, Crick suggesting that he was merely influenced by a fashionable genre that blurred the line between fiction and autobiography.

To me, Orwell’s description of the great creature’s heartbreakingly slow death suggests an acute awareness of wrongdoing, as do his repeated protests: “I had no intention of shooting the elephant… I did not in the least want to shoot him … I did not want to shoot the elephant.” Though Orwell shifts the blame on to the imperialist system, I think the poet did shoot the elephant. But read the sketch and decide for yourself.

How does Lady Macbeth try to change her husband's mind about murdering Duncan?
Strike441 [17]

In the tragic play "Macbeth," Lady Macbeth tries to change her husband's mind about the murder by questioning his masculinity, implying that a man would kill.

<h3>Lady Macbeth vs Macbeth</h3>

The couple formed by Macbeth and his wife is an ambitious one. Macbeth wants to be king, and Lady Macbeth is more than willing to help him concoct plans to achieve that dream. However, her plans are quite bloody and violent.

One of such plans is to murder the current king so that Macbeth can take the throne for himself. However, Macbeth feels guilty and changes his mind. That is when Lady Macbeth's persuasive powers come in handy. To convince him to do it, she questions his masculinity. By attacking his manhood, she implies that a real man would have the courage to kill.

Therefore, our conclusion is that Lady Macbeth attempts to change her husband's mind in order to get him to assassinate the king by questioning her husband's masculinity.
