IMAGERY IN MACBETH
Number of words: 1585 | Number of pages: 6.... of blood." (Von Doren 338). Shakespeare mentions the word blood, or different forms of it often in the play. The best way to describe how the image of blood changes throughout the play is by following the character changes in Macbeth. First, Macbeth is a brave and honored soldier, but as the play progresses, Macbeth becomes identified with death and bloodshed, along with showing his guilt in different forms.
The first corrupt reference to blood is when Macbeth sees the dagger floating in the air leading him to Duncan's room and he sees "on the blade and dudgeon gouts of blood" (Shakespeare 2.1.46). The next reference is w .....

These can be compared to the conditions presented in Roger and Me. The woman who slaughtered rabbits was very poor and lived in a run-down home.

Macbeth - Character Changes
Number of words: 1349 | Number of pages: 5.... nature leads Macbeth astray. Macbeth is a little ambitious at first, but Lady Macbeth’s far exceeds his and so she is able to get Macbeth to agree with her to kill King Duncan.

He has a conscience throughout the entire play as this is seen by the hallucinations of the dagger and the ghost of Banquo and his vivid imagination and his constant worry also provokes him. This is also evident in his terrible dreams which gives the solid theme that he has indeed "murdered sleep".
Throughout the play we see .....

The Tenth Muse Lately Sprung U
Number of words: 500 | Number of pages: 2.... Bradstreet's instincts were to love this world more than the promised next world of Puritan theology, and her struggle to overcome her love for the world of nature energizes her poetry.
Taylor, a poet of great technical skill, wrote powerful meditative poems in which he tested himself morally and sought to identify and root out sinful tendencies. In "God's Determinations Touching His Elect" (written 1680?), one of Taylor's most important works, he celebrates God's power in the triumph of good over evil in the human soul.
