At the gate to the circle stands Minos, son of Zeus and Europa, King of Crete, and known for his wisdom and judicial kings. His purpose is to appoint all that enter hell to what level of hell they must .....

Macbeth 3
Number of words: 566 | Number of pages: 3.... is around him.

playing in Duncan’s death, and the role that she actually does play in it.

Whether it is because he chooses not to, or because he is too naive to realiz .....

Jane Eyre: Analysis Of Bronte's Work
Number of words: 1199 | Number of pages: 5.... lied in her being neither holy good nor evil. She was poor and
plain in a time when society considered "an ugly woman a blot on the face
of creation." It challenged Victorian class structure in a strictly
hierachal society. A relationship between a lowly governess and a wealthy
nobleman was simply unheard of. Bronte drew criticism for her attack on the
